Red Hat Cluster Suite without the use of RAC

Hi,
I want to install Oracle 9i/10g database on two nodes in linux redhat AS 3. I want to use Red Hat Cluster Suite for clustering and failover the Oracle db without the use of RAC. Is it possible and would it be sufficient enough ? Does Red Hat Cluster Suite support with Oracle 10g or just 9i ? With Red HAt Cluster Suite, would it require to have one virtual IP ?
Thanks

If you want failover all you need is a dataguard solution and skip out on cluster suite.
If you want Distributed Database then you need RAC.. You can't implement a 9i/10g cluster per say by using an OS solution vs an Oracle solution.
Node A - Primary
Node B - Secondary
Node A -> B (DataGuard redo replication)
Process Management scripts to switch users from A to B and vice versa pending recovery of instances. Cluster suite has no involvement outside of what may be nice nice system management capability.

  • Red Hat Cluster Suite and Oracle RAC

    HI Guys,
    Our boss will plan to configure Red Hat Cluster Suite to replace to update oracle RAC.
    Are there some experienced expert to explain advantage and risk of Red Hat Cluster Suite v Oracle RAC 11.2
    Thanks
    Jin

    Hi,
    first of all Red Hat Cluster Suite cannot replace the RAC functionality. RAC is database Red Hat Cluster Suite, just provides clusterware. So all with what you will end up is a plain old failover cluster solution.
    So in maximum Red Hat Cluster Suite can replace the Oracle Clusterware. (But not below a RAC, since this is not supported and even with integration with other clusterware Oracle Clusterware will still be there).
    So what he will end up is also replacing RAC with single instance databases in a failover cluster solution, and with this will decrease a lot of RAC capabilities:
    => Rolling Upgrade (OS / Clusterware and some database patches)
    => Storage migration/consolidation
    => Fast failover (30 seconds vs. minutes).
    See www.oracle.com and you will find whitepapers with differences between failover clusters and RAC.
    http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/database/enterprise-edition/failover-cluster-134770.pdf
    But even if there are other justifications to reduce availablity (which actually can only be costs), I still wonder, why he wants to replace Oracle Clusterware - the clusterware shipped with Oracle is far more mature than the one from the Red Hat cluster Suite.
    And there is no better integration for Oracle databases in clusterware than what Oracle clusterware can provide.
    Even more so, OCW is a full capable clusterware and you can build your own failover cluster solution for free.
    The same would have to be done if he replaces it with redhat cluster.
    PS: If someone is providing failover scripts for Oracle in Redhat clusters, it will be Redhat (but I think you have to write them yourself).

  • 6.0 cluster startup without the admin server...

    Is it possible to start a WL6.0 cluster without the admin server being up
              and running? If not, are there any workarounds that eliminate the admin
              server as a single point of failure?
              

              I have same questions.
              1.The admin server's primary task is up the cluster?And if admin server is down
              that can't affect the cluster running.
              2.Is it right when the cluster is working,the useful ip is admin server's ip?For
              example,admin 10.10.10.1,cluster1 10.10.10.2,cluster2 10.10.10.3,the only useful
              ip is 10.10.10.1 in the cluster.
              3.Is it correct that because the only useful ip is 10.10.10.1,therefor my client
              access the cluster from 10.10.10.1?
              When my admin server is down,then my system will be down.
              4.which is the dispatch in the cluster system ?
              my step of configuration of th cluster:
              1.add two managed servers to admin server and edit startweblogic.cmd;
              2.config cluster.(admin server address 10.10.10.1:8168,cluster address 10.10.10.2:7001,10.10.10.3:7001),multicast(237.0.0.1)
              please help explain these questions!thanks a lot!

  • HT201250 Can I restore photo files from Time Machine without the use of an external drive?  I'm trying to restore lost photo files and I see them listed in Time Machine (without use of an external drive), but when I try to restore I get a error code 36.

    Can I restore photo files from Time Machine without the use of an external drive?  While I was transferring photos back and forth from a thumb drive something went haywire and my IPhoto was wiped clean!  When I click on Time Machine I see all the dated pages (without an external storage drive connected), go back to a date where all my photo files are there, click "restore", and I get the message:  "The Finder can't complete the operation because some data in file cant be read or written (error code - 36)"

    Thanks so much Terence.  I tried some of the fixes from that page, but then discovered the suggestion to compress the Time Machine Back up of the original library and transfer it as a zip back to my computer as detailed here:

    That worked like a charm.  I really appreciate it. 

  • Image swipe on iBooks without the use of iBooks Author

    Im working on an e-book using calibre and dreamW. It contains lots of pictures. What i want to do is tap on one picture, make it pop at you (make it larger, just like it does when you tap on an image) but then from that be able to swipe to the next image, swipe back and so on. I manage to use JavaScript and make it happen in html, but not in xhtml...
    So i would really like to know before going any further, Is this action possible for iBooks without the use of ibooks Author?? in other words: Does iBooks allow the swiping gesture to see images within the normal swiping of the page
    Any thoughts, ideas? thanks!

    If you're looking to trap the swipe gesture and take some custom action with it, yes, it's easily doable within a hand-coded ePub and iBooks. We do it in our books to suppress the normal page turn response on certain controls. Trap the move event, act on it, and preventdefault.

  • HT1766 Is there way of accessing your back up data without the use of an i-phone?

    Is there a way of accessing your back up data from the computor without the use of an i-phone?

    If it wasnt activated prior icloud wont help now. Did you ever use the save and print option to "send it itunes"?  I did that all the time prior to icloud to back up my docs. Then you can "copy from itunes" in the new document dialog.
    I still recommend doing the export to iTunes to create a local back up copy on ocassion.
    For future reference, To activate icloud for documents, go into the main settings app, tap icloud, then documents and data, and turn it on. Then go to the app (maybe numbers) further down the main settings list, tap it and turn on "use icloud".

  • Is there any way to connect an iPhone to an external hard drive without the use of a computer?

    Hello All,
    I am planning to travel to Central America, and I want to take pictures with my iPhone. I only have 8 GB memory, so I wanted to take my 1 TB WD Mac External Hard Drive with me on the trip. Is there any way I can connect my iPhone directly to the external hard drive, without the use of a computer? Thanks in advance!

    The external hard drive has only one input port which is usb, so you can only use usb here. Also try considering online storage.

    What you are asking for in essence is the ability to queue the call. This is only possible in an ICM environment with an IVR or with some other peripheral integration utilizing the Service Control interface.

  • Oracle 10g/11g database use on UEK versus Red Hat kernel? How widely used?

    Greetings
    is there any official or semi-official information regarding how widely used is Oracle UEK to run Oracle 10g/11g database (RAC or single-node) versus running Oracle database on Red Hat Linux or on Oracle Linux with Red Hat kernel ?
    I am asking because at my customer site there is a perception that Red Hat (or Oracle Linux with Red Hat kernel) is much more widely used in production to run Oracle 10g/11g database and therefore it will provide better stability even if the performance may be somewhat reduced compared to Oracle UEK option.
    So I need some sort of approximate percentage numbers of how well is UEK used in Linux Oracle community to run Oracle 10g/11g databases.
    Many thanks.

    The problem with the world is that the intelligent people are full of doubts, while the stupid ones are full of confidence. Well, in my opinion, a higher market share does not reflect the quality or reliability of a product. Take MS Windows for example. Unfortunately, the reason for success is often not due to knowledge and experience, but rather due to fear and sheep effect or herd behavior.
    Perhaps you can use other arguments or questions to help you to make a decision, eg.:
    Oracle has a better understanding of what Oracle products require than Red Hat.
    Oracle takes full responsibility for the OS and Database, no finger pointing.
    Oracle tries to provide a better product than the RHEL kernel.
    The Oracle UEK kernel contains Oracle driver software, not available for RHEL 6 or later.
    Oracle updates are free of charge, RHEL requires a subscription.
    Oracle as a company is about 20 times bigger than Red Hat.
    There can be reasons that require the use of the original RHEL kernel, for instance if the vendor of a specific driver for your hardware demands it. But otherwise...
