RAC Installaton problem

Hi every one ,
I am installing oracle rac for two nodes , when I reach to the step of running root.sh
I got the folowing :
$./root.sh
WARNING: directory '/opt/oracle/product/10.2.0' is not owned by root
WARNING: directory '/opt/oracle/product' is not owned by root
WARNING: directory '/opt/oracle' is not owned by root
Checking to see if Oracle CRS stack is already configured
Setting the permissions on OCR backup directory
Setting up NS directories
Failed to upgrade Oracle Cluster Registry configuration
any one has an idea about this problem
thanks in advance.

$./root.sh
WARNING: directory '/opt/oracle/product/10.2.0' is not owned by root

This part is normal but oracle cluster registry configuration should be successful.
Verify your cluster configuration.

10 G Rac reinstall problem,How to unregister VIP manully?

NODE NAME: rac1 rac2 rac3 .
I was removed rac3 from the cluster.
Now 2 nodes working and i'm trying to re-add the dropped one into the cluster.
I check crs_stat ,ifcfg ,olsnodes .There's no rac3 infomation any more.
But when i trying to run addNode.sh I got the problem
In step 2,"Specify Cluster Nodes to Add to Installtion"
I found rac3 in the Existing Node List ,*without* private-node-name and virtual host name!!!
well,i tried "srvctl modify nodeapps -node rac3 -A "to modify rac3 configuration. it works. rac 3 in the Existing Node List with a private-node-name and virtual host name now .
But when i go back to install page i must to Specify a new Node to go to next step....
So, could any one help me ?or tell me how to remove the residual information of VIP? I don't want to DD OCR ...
Thanks a lot;

I try to dump ocr and got something like this.I don't know is that help?

Oracle RAC - network problem between nodes

Hi all,
I have the following configuration:
Two guests operation systems CentOS 4.8 (installed).
The host is Windows XP (where is installed the VMWare Server 2).
Oracle 10.2.0.1 and Oracle Clusterware (Not installed Yet, trying)
I've created two VMs (RAC1 and RAC2) on VMware Server2 for Oracle 10g RAC.
Each VM has 2 network adapters:
eth0: public
eth1: private
But, Into RAC1, when I try a ping to RAC2, I got the error destination host unreachable.
The subnet and the net mask is OK, I've set the /etc/hosts.
From my Host PC, I cannot to perform ping to RAC1 and RAC2 too.
I've tryed to set the ethernet to hostonly and bridged, but I got the same problem.
Is there any configuration we need to do?
thank you very much!!!!

From my Host PC, I cannot to perform ping to RAC1 and RAC2 too.Make sure you have both nodes in the network and must be under same subnet mask.
Is it mandatory the ethernet adapter of host is connect to a network?If its not in the network how you are going to access?

RAC - srvctl problem

We have two node Windows Advanced server 2000 RAC setup.
srvctl command show status of the database on first node.
whereas it is not showing any output on second node.
Even though all the services are running properly.
Can you let us how to solve this problem.
Thanks in Advance
-Prashant

Hi
as per u error it means it will fail to communicate with other node in cluster,and i think cluster is not properly working.
Try a test:-
shutdown the first node and check whether this node(where gsdctl show error)
are able to perform recovery of fail node ,check alert log file and post it here.
also check log file
$ORACLE_HOME/srvm/log
Thanks and Regards

RAC Performance problem

Hi,
I configured 2-node RAC on Linux .But bench marks are surprising me.If i test the RAC with Loadbalace i'm getting 170 Transactions/sec.But,If i test the RAC with Single instance i'm getting 270 Transactions/sec.Could any one help me to solve this problem

Hi,
Have you got the answer?
I have the same problem. Someone told me that RAC of Oracle8i was a hoax, he doubted Oracle9i improved RAC performance very much. I would rather not believe what he said, however, the test result of Oracle9i RAC on Compaq cl380 was so disappointed. I think there must be some bottlenecks that affect RAC performance. and I hope some technical guys from Oracle can come out to explain it.

RAC redundancy problem

Hi,
We have a RAC system which is running on Windows Server 2008 R2 and the oracle version is 11g.
When we close one of the nodes, other node can not take the sessions and loads then our database becomes unavailable.
What could be the reasons?

what version 11g??? ALWAYS POST THE FULL VERSION NUMBER. (and yes, I was yelling!!).
Did you properly configure SCAN? https://www.lmgtfy.com/?q=oracle+scan+pdf
Proper DNS configuration
Proper {local | remote}_listener parameters. And RAC on Windows?? Seriously????

RAC Instalation Problem (shared accross all the nodes in the cluster)

All experts
I am trying for installing Oracle 10.2.0 RAC on Redhat 4.7
reff : http://www.oracle-base.com/articles/10g/OracleDB10gR2RACInstallationOnLinux
All steps successfully completed on all nodes (rac1,rac2) every thing is okey for each node
on single node rac instalation successfull.
when i try to install on two nodes
on specify Oracle Cluster Registry (OCR) location showing error
the location /nfsmounta/crs.configuration is not shared accross all the nodes in the cluster. Specify a shared raw partation or cluster file system file that is visible by the same name on all nodes of the cluster.
I create shared disks on all nodes as:
1 First we need to set up some NFS shares. Create shared disks on NAS or a third server if you have one available. Otherwise create the following directories on the RAC1 node.
mkdir /nfssharea
mkdir /nfsshareb
2. Add the following lines to the /etc/exports file. (edit /etc/exports)
/nfssharea *(rw,sync,no_wdelay,insecure_locks,no_root_squash)
/nfsshareb *(rw,sync,no_wdelay,insecure_locks,no_root_squash)
3. Run the following command to export the NFS shares.
chkconfig nfs on
service nfs restart
4. On both RAC1 and RAC2 create some mount points to mount the NFS shares to.
mkdir /nfsmounta
mkdir /nfsmountb
5. Add the following lines to the "/etc/fstab" file. The mount options are suggestions from Kevin Closson.
nas:/nfssharea /nfsmounta nfs rw,bg,hard,nointr,tcp,vers=3,timeo=300,rsize=32768,wsize=32768,actimeo=0 0 0
nas:/nfsshareb /nfsmountb nfs rw,bg,hard,nointr,tcp,vers=3,timeo=300,rsize=32768,wsize=32768,actimeo=0 0 0
6. Mount the NFS shares on both servers.
mount /mount1
mount /mount2
7. Create the shared CRS Configuration and Voting Disk files.
touch /nfsmounta/crs.configuration
touch /nfsmountb/voting.disk
Please guide me what is wrong

I think you did not really mount it on the second server. what is the output of 'ls /nfsmounta'.
step 6 should be 'mount /nfsmounta', not 'mount 1'. I also don't know if simply creating a zero-size file is sufficient for ocr (i have always used raw devices, not nfs for this)

Configure ASM Instance in RAC cluster - problem

Linux RH4 with Oracle 11.1.0.6
I previously had ASM working in a RAC environment, but have uninstalled on all 3 nodes following Oracle guidelines.
When I attempt to re-configure ASM it states that an ASM instance is located in nodes 2 and 3. Previous ASM software has been removed, and there are no entries in the /etc/oratab files on any of the nodes.
How do I locate and then remove these instances on nodes 2 and 3
Thanks

Steps in Note 311350.1 have been followed, and there are no occurances of ASM appearing in the crs_stat output. Also the fact that the ASM software has also been removed from all of the various, where are these ASM instances being started?
I am unable to proceed past the "Select Configuration Screen" which gives you the option to 1)Create Database, 2)Configure ASM or 3) Install Software only.
When I select option 2 and enter ASM SYS password, I get the error message that ASM instances are present in the other nodes.
Would appreciate any help in how I can progress past this stage.
Thanks

RAC connection problem with interconnect NIC failure

We have an 11g 2-node test RAC setup on RHEL 4 that is configured to have no load balancing (client or server), with Node2 existing as a failover node only. Connection and vip failover works fine in most situations (public interface fail, node fail, cable pull, node 2 interconnect fail, interconnect switch fail etc etc).
When the node1 interconnect card failure is emulated (ifdown eth1):
node2 gets evicted and reboots
failover of existing connections occurs
VIP from node2 is relocated to node1
However new connection attempts from clients and the server receive a ORA-12541: TNS:no listener message.
The basis of this is the issue that in the event of an interconnect failure, the lowest number node is supposed to survive - it looks like this includes the situation where the lowest number node has a failed interconnect NIC; ie it has a hardware fault.
I checked this with Oracle via an iTAR quite some time ago (under 10g) and they eventually confirmed that this eviction of the healthy 2nd node is correct behaviour. In 10g, this situation would result in the remaining instance failing due to the unavailable NIC, however I did not get the chance to fully test and resolve this with Oracle.
In 11g, the alert log continuously reports the NIC's unavailability. The instance remains up, but new connections cannot be established. If the NIC is re-enabled then new connections are able to be established. At all times, srvctl status nodeapps on the surviving node and lsnrtcl show that the listener is functional.
The alert log reports the following, regarding a failed W000 or M000 process:
ospid 13165: network interface with IP address 192.168.1.1 no longer operational
requested interface 19.2.168.1.1 not found. Check output from ifconfig command
ORA-603 : opidrv aborting process W000 ospid (16474_2083223480)
Process W000 died, see its trace file
The W000 trace file refers to an Invalid IP Address 192.168.1.1 (the interconnect ip address) obviously the source of the process dying.
Finally, if I restart the remaining instance via srvctl stop/start instance with the NIC still unavailable, the instance will allow new connections and does not report the failures of the W000/M000 process or appear to care about the failed NIC.
Before I go down the iTAR path or start posting details of the configuration, has anyone else experienced/resolved this, or can anyone else test it out?
Thanks for any input,
Gavin

Thanks for your reply.
There is no NIC bonding - the interconnect is a single, dedicated Gigabit link connected via a dedicated switch: plenty of bandwidth.
I know that providing interconnect NIC redundancy would provide a fallback position on this (although how far do you go: redundant interconnect switches as well?), and that remains an option.
However that's not the point. RAC does not require a redundant interconnect - as a high-availability solution it should inherently provide a failover position that continues to provide an available instance, as it does for all other component failures.
Unless I've made a mistake in the configuration (which is very possible, but all the other successful failover scenarios suggest I haven't), then this could be a scenario that renders a 2-node cluster unavailable to new connections.

Second instance RAC startup problem

Oracle 9.2.0.4 on RH AS 2.1.
I have started up the node1 instance well.
I have added the second thread (and second tablespace) for instance 2 (in node2).
SQL> alter database add logfile thread 2
2 '/opt/orafiles/test/redo03.log' size 10m,
3 '/opt/orafiles/test/redo04.log' size 10m;
SQL> alter database enable public thread 2;
But whe I try to startup the instance 2 (in node2) I get the following error;
SQL> startup
ORACLE instance started.
Total System Global Area 131143096 bytes
Fixed Size 452024 bytes
Variable Size 92274688 bytes
Database Buffers 37748736 bytes
Redo Buffers 667648 bytes
Database mounted.
ORA-00305: log 3 of thread 2 inconsistent; belongs to another database
ORA-00312: online log 3 thread 2: '/opt/orafiles/test/redo03.log'
Any idea?

How did you create the 2nd instance? If you go through the DBCA and add an instance to the RAC database, then you can create your redo log files there.
Just from the information provided, it looks like you're trying to start the 2nd instance using redo logs that belong to the RAC database (and the 2nd instance isn't part of the RAC database)...but I can't see what you did before the add logfile action.

RAC Firewire problem

I have a LaCie firewire ext. HD using Fedora Core 1 with Oracle provided Kernel 2.4.21-15.ELorafw1.
The problem is when I do:
cat /proc/scsi/scsi
sometimes I do see the ext. HD and sometimes I don't :(
I am trying to implement this setup using:
http://otn.oracle.com/pub/articles/hunter_rac.html
Seems like there is somekind of conflict going on with my CDROM and Firewire. Please help!

I have used modprobe and checked almost all the settings as per article but no help. I have a P4 with DVD and CDRW on Secondary IDE and 2 HDS on Primary IDE. No other scsi cards, 2 NICs 1 firewire card... basic setup

RAC CRS problem

Hello All,
I'm using RAC on a 2 node cluster on Red Hat Linux AS4. Today when I started the cluster and gave
root@node7]#/cw/oracle/bin/crs_stat -t
NAME Type Target State Node
ora.node7.gsd application ONLINE UNKNOWN node7
ora.node7.ons application ONLINE UNKNOWN node7
ora.node7.vip application ONLINE ONLINE node7
ora.node8.gsd application ONLINE UNKNOWN node8
ora.node8.ons application ONLINE UNKNOWN node8
ora.node8.vip application ONLINE ONLINE node8
root@node7]#/cw/oracle/bin/crsctl check crs
CRS appears healthy
CSS appears healthy
EVM appears healthy
I'm a rookie to RAC. I don't understand if I can go ahead from the above mentioned.
Please guide me .
Regards,
Raj

Did you tried altering OCR or any other resouce permissions.
check OCR dump and see.
any how you can try starting the ons and gsd manually using onsctl and gsdctl.
see if they throw any error.
see the resource rac logs for any issues encountered during start by crs.

Can you elaborate how you installed ? I suspect that you chose non-networked option. That however does not explain the problem you are seeing. I suspect that your BIOS setting has some ACPI setting that is powering the system. Please disable that so that the OS can do it. The X server not starting is another separate issue. What version of S10 are you trying to install.
