Regarding Services in Oracle 10g RAC

Hi All,
We are having Oracle 10g RAC (10.2) on Linux machines.  We don't have any services configured failover. This can be visible from srvctl config database -d, as nothing related services information is displayed.
I even checked failover_type and Failover_method from GV$session and for all it's showing None. We have only default database service (same as database name).
My question is:
Can I modify/configure this default service as failover/loadbalance enabled using srvctl? If so, please let me know.
PS: I can't provide any output here as our client network doesn't permit copying.
Regads,
Kumar

Hi,
THank you for your inputs. Below is the configurations settings of my environment.
Client Side TNS Entry:
jdbc:oracle:thin:@(DESCRIPTION = (LOAD_BALANCE=on) (FAILOVER=on) (ADDRESS_LIST = (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = eb1-db-svr-rac)(PORT = 1521)) (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = eb1-db-svr-rac2)(PORT = 1521))) (CONNECT_DATA = (SERVICE_NAME = prod) (SERVER = DEDICATED) (FAILOVER_MODE= (TYPE=SELECT) (METHOD=PRECONNECT))))
Below are the tns and listener details for both servers eb1-db-svr and eb1-db-bck-svr and both instances have remote_listener as “LISTENERS_PROD”

  • Oracle 10g RAC installation on HP-UX 11.31 for SAP ERP 6.04

    Dear experts,
    We are trying to install SAP ERP 6.0 EHP4 with Oracle 10g RAC on HP-UX 11.31. Please note that, We are using VERITAS cluster filesystem (CFS) for this purpose and not HP-UX ServiceGuard ClusterFileSystem.
    *As per SAP procedure, we have installaed plain plain SAP system with single instance Oracle (ref: Configuration of SAP NetWeaver for Oracle Database 10gRAC guide). Now we are first trying to install Oracle Clusterware (CRS) and then we will install Oracle RAC software. Is this procedure right?*
    Which file (and its path) we have to use for CRS installation and its patch? Is it runInstaller under /oracle/stage/102_64/clusterware? With this file we can install CRS 10.2.0.1. Similarly for Oracle RAC, which files we are supposed to use, i.e for installation and patch upgrade?
    Also can we use clusterware package available from Oracle directly in the SAP environment?
    We tried to install CRS with runInstaller while running Configuration Assistant after root.sh script.
    The following commands are failing in Configuration Assistant:
    /oracle/CRS/102_64/bin/racgons add_config erpprdd1:4948 erpprdd2:4948
    /oracle/CRS/102_64/bin/oifcfg setif -global  lan1/20.20.20.0:cluster_interconnect lan0/192.168.3.0:public
    /oracle/CRS/102_64/bin/cluvfy stage -post crsinst -n erpprdd1,erpprdd2
    1st command does not give any output if run manually.
    2nd commands o/p: PRIF-12: failed to initialize cluster support services
    3rd commands fails in every check
    Please suggest the solution and expecting answers to the above mentioned questions.
    Thanks & Regards,
    Tejas

    Relevant docs for Service Guard (SG) cluster are available at http://docs.hp.com. Hope you have checked for the suport of oracle 92x on HP-UX 11.31

    You can go for combined os migration and db release upgrade also at a stretch with the same downtime.

  • Oracle 10g RAC+ASM - Storage Issue

    I’ve an issue related to Oracle 10g RAC.
    I’ve 2 node cluster each being Dell 2850 Server with RHEL 4.0
    I’ve EMC CX300 SAN storage with following partitions
    /orasoft     10 Gb          OCFS2 File system
    /oracrs          2 Gb          OCFS2 File system
    /orabackup      100 Gb          OCFS2 File system
    The datafiles are on ASM which is not directly visible in OS.
    I’ve common Oracle Home installed in /orasoft/db_1 which is shared by both nodes in cluster.
    I’ve faced an issue recently related to EMC storage.
    The /orasoft partition displays 1.4 Gb space available using df command.
    With both nodes sharing the common Oracle Home (/orasoft/db_1), when ever I try to touch a file I get an error as No Space left on device. I’m unable to start any service with the same reason.
    Is this setup correct ??
    Can anyone help me with this storage issue ??

    Hi,
    If you create a new diskgroup you may be to add the same diskgroup to parameter file or spfile and which will be needing down time.
    sugestion: Instead of creating new diskgroup you should to add disk to existing group.if you add asm disk to existing group your all problem will be solved and Oracle itself will be managing all.And than i am sure no need to add entry in the parameter or spfile like +db_create_file_dest=.....

    Those errors remind me on errors I encountered when I was trying to do installation that was not certified,
    so try to check if installation you are doing is actually supported.
    In the meantime , visit metalink and read document [ID 460969.1] , */usr/bin/ld: Cannot Find -lxml10, Genclntsh: Failed To Link Libclntsh.so.10.1*

  • Oracle 10g RAC

    Hi All,
    I am a research student currently struggling to install Oracle 10g RAC on Windows OS.What i understand about a Oracle RAC database system is that it involves a configuration of multiple hosts or servers joined together with a clustering software and accessing the shared disk structures.What i also understand is that i need a CRS provided by Oracle for a Windows or Linux based RAC installation.
    What i don't understand is for a Two node RAC system do i need a Third machine which has the shared storage device.If yes do i have to install a copy of Oracle 10g Enterprise Edition and CRS on the shared storage device moreover do i need to install a copy of Oracle 10g Enterprise edition on each of the nodes or just the clusterware is enough.

    Hi Salil
    No, you do not need a third machine. You can even setup RAC as a single node on one machine! What you do need is to have some sort of cluster aware file system. Try looking at OCFS on Windows in your case.
    If you are interested in a Linux example please have a look at the examples at http://ocpdba.net/oracle9i_rac/cheaprac.html and http://ocpdba.net/oracle10g_rac for an OCFS implementation I am working on.

    Hi all,
    I have a question about Oracle RAC and network interface.
    We're using Oracle 10gR2 RAC with two nodes on Linux Red Hat.
    Let's assume that the public network interface goes down.
    I would like to know what happens with existing connections
    on node with network interface with problems.
    Are connections frozen, actives?
    Can the users continue to use theses existing connections using the another node of RAC?If the interface is down? what do you think? All connections to this node will die. How does your application handle fail-over, does it attempt to reconnect or just have a complete application failure?
    You should spend some time in a test lab where you can test this stuff for yourself. Read the documentation and there are tons of sites out there that purport to have all of your RAC/TAF/FAN/FAF questions. - I would read and trust the documentation first.

    Need a clarification here...what do you mean by "Storage System"...do you mean a server/node or the SAN storage system. If you are referring to a server/node's local storage, then it would NOT be possible for use by RAC, since the disk space has to be shared among the nodes.
    Here is what you can do:
    - Create two partitions/devices (for example Disk_1 and Disk_2) in the SAN storage
    - Create a ASM disk group which would mirror Disk_1 to Disk_2.
    Again, please note that the partitions have to be visible and be accessible read/write from both the nodes/servers.
    HTH
    Thanks

  • Oracle database not starting up in oracle 10g RAC

    Hi!
    Recently I came across one problem with one node oracle 10g RAC.When the Oracle database is started,while opening it is giving ORA-03113:End of file on communication channel error.When I saw the the alert trace file and other trace files I found Disk group is exhausted error and it is not able to create .dbf files.Actually it is not a production server and I gave archive log destination in SAN.Even the spfile(content of init_database.ora) is in SAN..
    I tried Asmcmd utility to delete the archive log files.As the oracle is not available I am not able to asmcmd prompt.
    How to change the destination of archive log and to remove the old archive log files(as it is a testing environment we can remove) from SAN?Please let me know.

Again, this is a known issue acknowledged by Oracle on the VMware side, I'm just surprised it exists on the Oracle VM side.Again, give more details about this "known issue". Never heard about that, eventhough I've been around for years.
    I was afraid you were going to ask that. I'll have to search for it again, but I think you can do the same as well....Well, I doubt you could find a Metalink note about Oracle on VMWare. So far, Oracle has always refused to support database on OS virtualized on VMWare (or any VM software other than Oracle VM). Based on that, you could be sure, your "known issue" is not an issue on Oracle VM.
    If you want more help, again, give more details about your issue.

  • Oracle-10g RAC on VMware installed on Windows-7(Host)

    Hi,
    My host OS is Windows-7. Docs. posted on this forum for RAC on VMware says: your Host OS 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 Virtual 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.

    Hi,
    while this is a documentation of 11gR2 it gives enough information on how to setup a RAC in a VBox environment:

  • Migrating VB Applications on SQL Server to Oracle Forms on Oracle 10g RAC

    Hello All,
    I am looking at migrating a VB application built on a SQL Server database across to an Oracle Forms deployment with the data migrated to an Oracle 10g RAC database environment.
    My first question is whether the SQL Developer Migration Workbench can migrate the SQL Server data to a RAC environment?
    The second question is to ask whether there are any "toolkits" or tips from the community migrating VB applications to Oracle Forms.
    Any advise or suggestions greatly accepted.
    Kind Regards,
    Gary.

    SQL Developer Migration Workbench definitely can migrate SQL Server data to Oracle RAC setup.
    However, I don't think VB application can be easily converted to Oracle Forms.
    You can post your question in Oracle Form forum to double check.
