RAC: ocfs-option disabled when trying to create database with dbca.

Hi everybody,
I have a really weird problem running dbca in my 2-node RAC installation on Red Hat ES.
The software version of both oracle clusterware and rdbms is 10.2.0.2.0, meaning the latest patchset has been applied.
I have installed and configured ocfs, and 4 different ocfs-partition are neatly presented to the operating system. I can save files and browse the ocfs file system, everything seems to be working fine.
Also, srvctl status nodeapps -n <nodename> shows that oracle clusterware is running nicely, all the components are up including the listener, which I used netca to configure.
However, when trying to create a cluster database using dbca, the option to use ocfs is not enabled, e.g it is "grayed out" in the Oracle Universal installer. So is raw devices option. The only option left is the ASM, which is selectable in the OUI.
In addition, I can indeed run scripts manually and create a single-instance database and use the ocfs-partitions for the datafiles, redo logs and archivelogs. No problems at all!
Do any of you guys have the slightest clue what can be causing this behaviour? Of course I have raised an issue with Oracle Support, but while waiting for an update, it doesn't hurt trying the forum.
I appreciate all suggestions, thanks for taking the time to read my posting.
Best Regards,
Vegard

You were right.
http://download-uk.oracle.com/docs/html/B14203_05/intro.htm#sthref44
under the section
"1.3 Configuration Tasks for Oracle Clusterware and Oracle Real Application Clusters"
"... If you use RAC on Oracle Database 10g Standard Edition, then you must use ASM."
Thanks, problem solved.

    I just want to know if you are able to modify the attributes of an existing user. If not then you have been assigned the User Admin role (read only). Please check that. If yes then revert.

  • Creating databases with dbca templates after upgrades and patches

    I have a 10.2.0.1 base release Oracle Home. Over time it has been upgraded to 10.2.0.3 and quarterly security patches have been applied. Now I want to create a new database using a dbca (database configuration assistant) template.
    During the 10.2.0.3 install did the templates also upgraded to include all the 10.2.0.3 stuff? Or are they still back at 10.2.0.1?
    What about the quarterly CPU patches? Do they need to be applied to the new db after it is created?
    Thanks,
    Rob

    I opened a Service Request. Here is the official answer from Oracle support.
    QUESTION
    =========
    After applying the latest CPU(JAN2008CPU) I have created a new database using DBCA's seed template (General). Do I need to run the catcpu
    .sql on the newly created database? Are the seed templates already updated with
    the CPU?
    ANSWER
    =======
    No, as these templates are not containing the Oracle binaries that is updated by the CPU.
    Please let me know if you need further assistance regarding this issue and I will be glad to assist you further.
    Otherwise please close this SR from MetaLink.
    Thanks!

  • Error message when trying to create DMG with Disk Utility

    Have a highly confidential folder on my drive, so am driving to convert to a DMG file, with password protection. It gets nearly done with the DMG process then generates Error - 49168.
    Anyone know what means?
    1.I choose read-write as my access options
    2.Under encryption I choose the AES setting. It asks me to create a password and I create one (unchecking the "remember password option, of course")
    3. It seems to get through 95% of the process, then produces that error message.

    A little Googling suggests that Norton Anti-Virus can cause this problem by trying to scan the image as it's being created. The fix seems to be to turn off NAV while creating the image.
    If that doesn't work, I'd suggest rebooting from the system disk and having Disk Utility repair the disk, to make sure all is in good working order.

    Sorry our primary database file structure is different from stdby, we used db_file_name_convert in the init.ora, it look like this:
    *.db_file_multiblock_read_count=16
    *.db_file_name_convert='+OT06_DATA/OT06TSG001/','+RT06_DATA/RT06/','+RECO/OT06TSG001','+RECO/RT06'
    *.db_files=2000
    *.db_name='OT06'
    *.db_recovery_file_dest='+RECO'
    Is there any thing wrong in this parameter.
    I tried this parameter before for cloning using rman backup. This din't work.
    What exactly must be done? for db_file_name_convert to work.
    Even in this case i think this is the problem its not converting the location and the logical halts.
    help me out.....
    let me know if you have any questions.
    Thanks Regards
    Raghavendra rao Yella.

    Hi reega,
    Thanks for your reply, our logical stdby has '+RT06_DATA/RT06'
    and primary has '+OT06_DATA/OT06TSG001'
    so we are using db_file_name_convert init parameter but it doesn't work.
    Is there any thing particular steps hiding to use this parameter? as i tried this parameter for rman cloning it din't work, as a workaround i used rman set new name command for clonning.
    Let me know if you have any questions.
    Thanks in advance.

    Question
    When trying to create a desktop icon, it does not go to the URL.....instead I get 'script' and not a website......the script has http//etc but I am not directed to the website......I previously had IE 8 (on Vista).....is that the problem?I do not have any installed plugins....at least none that I know of.....remember I am a new user......Basically, the desktop icon is not going directly to the Mozilla FF to get me to the web site I need to go to.....FF works when I use the Mozilla FF icon.....just not the icons I create.....THANKS!!! I have also tried reinstalling FF and get the same results.....HELP!!!

    The address beginning with file:/// denotes a saved file (local file). The file may not be present. You can try dragging the site icon of this page on the left edge of the location (Address) bar and release it on the desktop. Please try opening it. If it still shows an error it could be a problem with the system's zone permissions. You can try setting each zone in the Windows Control Panel or IE > '''Internet Options''' > '''Security''' tab to '''Default Level'''.

  • Solution to stop error when trying to create a portfolio

    Hi all,
    I finally found a way to make a portfolio in acrobat pro 9. The problems I was having were explained in the thread titled "Acrobat pro 9 has a stop error when trying to create a portfoloi"
    It seems ther is another way to do this, by selecting 'combine' and then 'merge files into a single pdf' rather than 'assemble pdf portfolio'.
    The merge option also gives the choice of making a pdf package and does not result in a stop error with authplay.dll.
    So much for Adobe support who conuld not tell me this or respond to support requests.
    All I have to do now is to remember to not click on 'assemble pdf portfolio' when I want to assemble a pdf portfolio but "merge files into a single pdf" when I want to assemble a pdf portfolio.
    I would still like to hear from Adobe why acrobat pro 9 has a stop error with authplay.dll.
    I feel a lot happier now.

    I read through the pdf wth your emails to/from customer support. I'll have to defer to someone else because it seems you have tried what I would suggest.
    If someone else does not respond with a better plan and you are willing to spend a bit more time before writing off Acrobat 9, I would try the process below one last time. (If you are using a CS suite, while authplay.dll is found in each of the directories, it does not appear that the issue extends to the other programs.)
    1. Using Add/Remove Programs, uninstall all Adobe Acrobat and Reader software and uninstall the Adobe Flash Player Active X and Adobe Flash Player Plugin. If you have it, uninstall Adobe Air.
    2. In C:\Documents and Settings\(your profile name)\Application Data\Adobe, delete the Acrobat and Adobe PDF folders if they still exist.
    3. Reinstall only Acrobat 9.
    4. From Acrobat, run the updater Help > Check for Updates and install all updates.
    5. Verify Adobe Acrobat is now version 9.2: Help > About Adobe Acrobat Pro  (If for any reason it is not 9.2, use the update on http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/product.jsp?product=1&platform=Windows
    6. Test

    While searching for a solution, I just saw your post over at acrobatusers.com (http://www.acrobatusers.com/forums/aucbb/viewtopic.php?id=15765). Looks like my advice was largely a duplicate, although your event log indicates Acrobat did not update properly.

  • Build failed when trying to create a custom Android viewer

    I am experiencing the same issue, I get the : 'build failed. try again later' without any further information, when trying to create a custom viewer for android. Is this caused by server overloads or are there some things to check?
    Any help is appreciated! Thank you

    hey Bob,
    I did not before as I was assigned a mac that had everything running (untill now ), but to be sure I followed the steps just now using the keytool in terminal but looks like this is not making any differance.
    also, I can see the previous apps listed showing the download apk option, I have not been prompted for a certificate yet, where in iOS apps you are asked for it on save before the build starts and when you download the zip again if I'm not mistaking.
    Right now I always get the build faild error, try again later when I save the last step in the viewer creation process.

  • Oracle.jbo.AttrValException: Attribute test in TestEO is required. (When trying to create duplicate Record)

    I am facing an issue when trying to create a Duplicate Record.

    Hi Popz,
    Thanks for your reply. 
    I am using fnd:applicationsPanel next button as nextAction="next", so i didn't find immediate property in fnd:applicationPanel. 
    So, I tried 2 things based on your comment.
    1. nextPartialSubmit ="true"... this option is also not worked.
    2. In my Test attribute added immediate="true" this is also not worked.
    If you have any id how to set immediate property or related property in fnd:applicationPanel for nextAction.  Please let me know.

  • Error message in Adobe Pdf in printer device panel when trying to create a pdf document.  I have CS3

    Error message in Adobe Pdf in printer device panel when trying to create a pdf document.  I have CS3 Web Premium with Acrobat Professional 8.  I use it fine on my old computer with Windows XP.  I recently got a new laptop with Windows 7.  I installed all my Adobe programs, and I think they are working.  When I look at Adobe PDF in the device section of the Control Panel it looks okay.  But when I try to print a Word, Photoshop, or HTML page in PDF, nothing happens.  I have tried printing both as File>print and using the PDF tab on the top menu bar.  I look at the device in the control panel and it has the yellow error warning symbol and suggests trying to troubleshoot.  I look at the document list and it says status "error".  When I try troubleshooting Windows suggests doing some Home Sharing and also suggests canceling the document I'm trying to print.  I tried re-installing just Acrobat 8 from CS3 (and have to use Photoshop CS4 disk for shared documents I guess).  I ran into a can't locate adobepdf_dll file, so did a web search on this issue and found a suggestion that I find and use the adobepdf_dll_64 file and may have to (I did have to) remove the "_64" for it to work.  I think I successfully reinstalled using that dll file- no errors came up anyway.  But still when I try printing/converting a photoshop, webpage, or word document into pdf, the pdf device in control panel still gives the error status on the document and gives the same troubleshooting advice.  Help?

    I just compared the properties between the two computers.  On the old computer it has the port as "My Documents/*.pdf".  On my new computer it lists the port as "LPT1".  I tried changing the port to "Print as File", but when I try printing a photoshop picture as pdf, I get a "Access Denied".  I then tried to create a new port on the device control panel.  I tried to create a local port "My Documents/*.pdf" port but was denied.  I ten tried to create a new port type and control panel asked for an INF file.  I wonder if this is where my problem lies.  Thoughts?
