RAC setup on VMWARE..

Dear All,
I m setting RAC on VMWARE (RHEL4), while installing always get some errors that may of stack 10, or /dev/raw/raw1 is inaccessable etc all are related to raw devices only. I can ping to all the ips given permissions according to document, but while running root.sh in crs it gives errors which are related to rawdevices only?
How to crosscheck the rawdevices for having any issues or properly configured?

what error you are getting???
paste error.

RAC setup on VMware Workstation is possible?

Hi,
Is it possible to create a RAC setup on VMware workstation(VMware-workstation-6.5.1-126130) or VMware server is mandatory for such a setup.
My planned RAC setup will as show below.
OS:Enterprise-R5-U2-Server-i386
Oracle clusterware:10201_clusterware_linux32
Oracle Database:10201_database_linux32
I am planning to store OCR and Voting disks on shared RAW devices and database files on ASM.
Thank You and Regards...

Yes its possible to install it over workstation. There is as such o difference in both the products except that server is free but workstation is paid. Otherwise, both are virual machine softwares.

Rac setup using vmware

Is there anyway I can simulate a rac environment in my pc . Is it possible using Vmware or any other means ?

My host OS is Windows-7. This docs. says your Host should be Centos OS and in which you will install VMware and Client tools also. In this way u can clone another Rac2 machine.
But I have Oracle VM Vistual Box installed on Windows-7. Another is VMware Player installed on Windows-7.
I want to install Oracle-10g RAC on my Laptop. Please any suggestions or Docs. related to this.

N/W Setup during RAC Config on VMWARE Workstation 7

Hi Guru's,
I am new to RAC, while i am trying to configure RAC using below mentioned post i am able to do that but the pt where i stuck is to configure the n/w
I am currently using VMWARE Workstation and OS is Centos 06.
http://gurpartapblog.blogspot.in/2010/06/install-oracle-rac-11gr2-on-vmware-with.html
http://www.oracle-base.com/articles/10g/oracle-db-10gr2-rac-installation-on-centos-4-using-vmware.php
Thanks for your help in advance

Hi,
I am not sure "shared disks" works with every VMWare Workstation version.
Also CentOS is not a supported OS for Oracle RAC.
I personally would advice taking Oracle Linux (which is also free) and use Virtual Box, because I know shared disks works in there flawlessly:

However if you do have an exact question, on what is unclear, maybe other can help you further.

Oracle 11gR2 RAC setup with ASM option running on two nodes . Seeking help

Hi ,
Recently we have migrated to 11gR2 extended RAC for one of our application using ASM . Its a two node RAC setup . We are using ASM Normal redundancy feature maintaining two failure group .
I need few clarification regarding our new DR set up .
We are planning to have EMC SRDF replication from any of node storage ( Either 1 or 2) to the DR disks .
Its stright to use when we use the normal file systems . In case of ASM , I am not sure how this replication will work ? and on which level the replication should happen ?
Do i need an ASM instance up and running on DR server , Which will recognize the disks as it is once DR disks are separated from prod replication and assigned to the server ?
What should be prerequisite on DR server before we can start the srdf replication (EMC) and make it work .
Thanks for All your Valuble suggestion .

Before you decide to use EMC replication give considerable thought to the fact that you are introducing a single point of failure.
Hardware snapshot replication is very fast. That is all it is. If you database crashes because of corruption on disk ... your replica will be equally corrupt.
What is fast can not do what DataGuard does ... verify quality. If the point is DR. Go with DataGuard unless EMC is willing to, in writing (not verbally) give you a guarantee (in hard cash) to cover all costs if they replicate bad blocks and it causes an outage.
And just so no one thinks I'm picking o EMC ... the same weakness exists with all of the other storage vendor's products.

Oracle 11GR2 rac installation in vmware

Hi all experts,
I am installing RAC 11GR2 in VMWARE on OEL 6.3. Everything went smooth but when i tried to configure ASM , i get below messages.

ORA-12504 in an Oracle 9.2.0.1 RAC setup

Hi I keep getting the following error when connecting to either nodes in a RAC setup:

Hi Carsten
Thanks for the response. My versions of OWB are the same it's just the database versions that are different.
I ended up opening an SR but since the version is so old there wasn't much help except to try and apply the 10.1.0.5 OWB patch and cross my fingers.
I think I'll just end up putting the new repository in a different Oracle 10g database.
Thanks again for your help.

RAC setup for R12

Hi,
I read docs about EBS R12.1 RAC setup that said:
The traditional and still widely-used configuration where the Concurrent (Parallel) Processing servers
are located on the database tier. Unless there is a network constraint, the recommendation now is
to place them on the application tier for greater flexibility and scalability.Right now we have a multi node setup (not yet on RAC) , the AppsTier is on node1 (including the Concurrent Managers which is the default setup), while the Db-Tier is on node2. Does this mean I do not need to transfer anymore the Concurrent Manager to the Db-Tier on node2?
Are Concurrent Managers also referred to as the Concurrent Processing servers?
If my Concurrent Managers are located on the AppsTier, How can I convert it to Concurrent Paralllel Processing servers? Can you please give me notes on how to setup this type of configuration?
Thanks a lot,
Msk

Does this mean I do not need to transfer anymore the Concurrent Manager to the Db-Tier on node2?You have the option of moving the CM to the database node, but it is not required here (recommended to keep it on the application tier node where you have it running now).
Are Concurrent Managers also referred to as the Concurrent Processing servers?Yes.
If my Concurrent Managers are located on the AppsTier, How can I convert it to Concurrent Paralllel Processing servers? Can you please give me notes on how to setup this type of configuration?See the docs referenced in this thread.

RAC setup- Configure hostname in ODI agent

I have my Master & Work repositories hosted on a Oracle RAC environment. I have a standalone ODI agent which might installed in the same physical server or in a different server.
In a RAC setup, there are multiple hostnames for the same database. How do I make the ODI agent aware that it should look into a 2nd server (when the 1st host is down) when trying to connect to the repository ? I want to know where this should be configured in the agent setup.
Does this get automatically taken care of once I include both the hostnames in the JDBC URL of the repositories ?

All depends on the JDBC you're using...
JDBC Thin work with the Oracle listener,
and JDBC OCI (which need an Oracle Client on the machine) works with a TNS description (here you can define several HOST).
I had have several issues with the Thin on our RAC so we've changed for an OCI one...

Brice

Help needed on SRVCTL importance in RAC Setup.

Hi gurus,
We are using 11GR2 database with RAC on AIX machines also we are using oracle clusterware only. It was implemented by some body else and we are supporting this environment. We observed that we are not able to start the Database/listerners using srvctl. it is throughing the error. We just like to know if this is acceptable. i am trying to say that SRVCTL is critical in RAC setup and we should be in a position to start the DB using srvctl else we need to start DB manually when any problem happens due to cluster level problem.
My requirement is
1) Is my point is valid. i.e SRVCTL is compulsary for cluster or not?
2) if SRVCTL is compulsary then i need to have metalink note saying SRVCTL is compulsary with out that cluster will not start the DB automatically.
REgards
DBA.

Yes ... you are right .
You can use SRVCTL to start and stop the database and instances, manage configuration information, and to move or remove instances and services. You can also use SRVCTL to add services. SRVCTL also manages configuration information.
Some SRVCTL operations store configuration information in the Oracle Cluster Registry (OCR). SRVCTL performs other operations, such as starting and stopping instances, by sending requests to the Oracle Clusterware process (CRSD), which then starts or stops the Oracle Clusterware resources.
You should be able to perform operations using srvctl.
Check out the trace files for any errors ?
Also srvctl is kind of mandatory thing and without this you wont be able to make change to configurations.
So find the root cause and you can also raise SR to oracle support.

Rajesh
