RMAN offline in 10g RAC

How can i shutdown the database (not instances) from RMAN? when i say shutdown immediate, it is shutting down the instance, but not the whole database and when i use startup mount, it complain that the database is already in open state.

You cannot do this inside RMAN, because RMAN always connects (and can only connect) to a specific instance. That's the same behaviour as for SQLPLUS. Use utility SRVCTL or Enterprise Manager to start/stop all instances.

    Hi all I have the same problem. We have a 2 node rac with ASM. The archives goes to ASM. I would like to backup the archives from ASM to a filesystem. But i was given a filesystem that is only mounted on one node and it is not accessbile to the other node. When i run the following rman command i get the error on one of the channel that connect to node 2.
    My question:
    Can i use on channel that is connecting to node1 to backup all the archivelogs generated by node1 and node2 aswell since both the nodes have access to archive logs.
    Please assist.

    The backup into the ASM diskgroup can be done online.
    For the switch to copy and the following recover datafile, the datafile needs to be set offline, though.
    The amount of Redo, generated during the Online Backup determines the time the recovery will need.
    Kind regards

  • 10g RAC on Solaris 10 containers - Question on Approach

    Hi All
    To introduce a little, I am trying to set-up 10g RAC (active-active) on Solaris 10 Containers. For the disaster recovery site, I was considering an option for storage replication across datacenters. As I look at the situation where the database could be highly transactional, I wanted to go for this option hoping I might be better able to recover db on dr site if a failure happens and also alleviate some load from the prod servers. In this regard I have a set of questions for which if you could share your experiences, thoughts .. I am sure will help my preperation.
    1 Is Oracle Supported on Solaris 10 containers? I believe it is not supported and ofcourse am getting into the certification matrix for this with oracle. Anyways, any work around tried out by anyone ?
    2 Which product is better in terms of performance while co-existing and co-functioning with Oracle? Sun Cluster!!! Vertas Cluster!!! any other? I am unable to link to any recommendations from Oracle and hence trying to understand the generic or say standard approach to this.
    3 I understand on Prod site, Oracle remains active-active on two node cluster while I will mirror my SAN between Prod site and DR site on a timely basis, while DB is up and running. This mirroring has to be only an asynchronous mirroring for some limitations. I am unsure about my recoverability if we need to switch over to DR. Will I be able to recover the Database to a point when my last mirroring has been completed successfully when I say the mirroring happened while the Prod db is up and running (hot backup type on disk level). Until now I used a cold backup for Storage replication and I was sure to bring it up there. This hot backup kind of attempt is raising unrest and questions about the abilities.. :-(
    4 I also have come across a term called federated databases? Is it similar to what I am trying to achieve here? Storage level replocation across data centres?
    I know it takes some time to get to the end of it and finally implement it, but your inputs will certainly help me get things straight before I hit this first click. Thanks for all your inputs, advices, suggestions. :-)
    Regards!
    Sarat

    According to Oracle "Both Oracle 9i R2 and 10g R2 databases have been certified to run in a Solaris Container."
    There are references here :- http://forums.sun.com/thread.jspa?threadID=5397695
    "Oracle databases (RAC and non-RAC) have been certified to run in a global Solaris 10 Container"
    What storage are you using ? (filesystem, ASM ?) Personally I prefer ASM now, but it does depend on the storage platform and backup strategy.
    What backup infrastructure do you have ? RMAN backup directly to tape is better than file copy.
    For DR standby purposes I would use Dataguard instead of disk mirroring / storage replication. It is much more flexible (e.g can switch direction of replication, do incremental backups from the standby etc).
    I would use CRS instead of VCS. CRS is built for the job, and integrates with netca, dbca, etc for service management, and also integrates with Dataguard Broker for standby switchover.

  • Asm, instance and service failing to start 10g rac redhat el5

    hi,
    i have been following a how to guide from oracle's website about implementing a 10g rac system using el5 (http://www.oracle.com/technology/pub/articles/hunter_rac10gr2_iscsi.html), by the end of the installation and setup I had both the nodes up and running and all services were up and running.

    Check ASM resource:

    If AUTO_START=2
    Oracle Clusterware is configured to start the VIP, listener, instance, ASM, database services and other resources during system boot. Starting with 10.1.0.4, it is possible to modify some resources to have their profile parameter AUTO_START set to the value 2. This means that after node reboot, or when Oracle Clusterware is started, resources with AUTO_START=2 will need to be started manually via srvctl. Please work with Oracle Support if you need to modify this attribute.

  • Seeking a solid reccomendation concerning 10g RAC implementation.

    I need a solid recommendation regarding what hardware I should use for my planned Oracle 10g RAC environment.
    Currently, I am looking for both node and SAN recommendations.
    I also created a list of 11 questions that I need to have answered.
    Here is how this will be configured:
    3 Node Oracle 10g RAC
    Each Node will consist of:
    32Gb of RAM (minimum)
    Windows 2003 64-bit Enterprise (corporate standard, but I can go with Windows 2008 if I have a valid justification)
    74Gb RAID 1 (minimum)
    Dual 10Gb Ethernet NICs
    The SAN will consist of:
    750Gb-3Tb dedicated to Oracle
    10Gb Ethernet NICs
    Here are some of my general questions:
    1.) Are there any benchmarks or case studies that you are aware of that might help in the decision process regarding hardware?
    2.) Where should my backups reside (SAN or elsewhere)?
    3.) What margin should be added for SAN provisioning and waste (even if thin provisioning is implemented)?
    4.) My CIO has decided to direct me to go with 10GbE copper instead of fiber channel, what unplanned hiccups can I expect?
    5.) What are the caveats of running dual redundant SAN systems?
    6.) We are currently using DELL hardware for all other systems, however I do have the freedom to change the vendor for this particular project if I can state a valid business justification. Any other vendors out there that make a better SAN or Node solution than Dell/EMC?
    7.) How much local storage do I need on each node?
    8.) Can I utilize 1 node to run ETL during production hours without drastically affecting database performance?
    9.) Regarding the maintenance of this setup, are their any particular classes or training you would recommend? I am a seasoned Oracle DBA, but could use any specific training on the specifics of RAC and/or general performance.
    10.) Are there specific advantages in Oracle 11g RAC vs. 10g that would be worth the cost of upgrading our 1000+ 10g user licenses?
    11.) Are there any studies on the performance advantages/disadvantages of running Oracle 10g on Windows vs. Solaris (or any Unix)?
    I will consider all input of high value, so please let me know what you would recommend.
    Thank you for your time.

    please find answers that i know for some questions.
    1.) Are there any benchmarks or case studies that you are aware of that might help in the decision process regarding hardware?
    2.) Where should my backups reside (SAN or elsewhere)?
    => what is the backup method you will be using? certainly recommend RMAN (in addition to OS backups that you are planning to use) for block recovery, should there a block corruption.
    i would keep some copies on the SAN local and mirror to DR site too.
    3.) What margin should be added for SAN provisioning and waste (even if thin provisioning is implemented)?
    => do not suggest thin provisioning for production.
    how big the volumes are going to be? reason for asking the Q is, if the volumes are going to be in TB, percentages can be lower. please plan for 2 years atleast.
    4.) My CIO has decided to direct me to go with 10GbE copper instead of fiber channel, what unplanned hiccups can I expect?
    5.) What are the caveats of running dual redundant SAN systems?
    6.) We are currently using DELL hardware for all other systems, however I do have the freedom to change the vendor for this particular project if I can state a valid business justification. Any other vendors out there that make a better SAN or Node solution than Dell/EMC?
    7.) How much local storage do I need on each node?
    => have beetween 75GB to 100GB. hope you are going to have only ORACLE RDBMS and CRS software in here.
    please make sure that you rotate your listener logs and alert logs and regular removal of old .trc files older than certain number of days old.
    8.) Can I utilize 1 node to run ETL during production hours without drastically affecting database performance?
    => node usage will help from CPU standpoint only. what about the disk writes it is going to perform to the data files?
    9.) Regarding the maintenance of this setup, are their any particular classes or training you would recommend? I am a seasoned Oracle DBA, but could use any specific training on the specifics of RAC and/or general performance.
    => attend a 5 day course from Oracle. install RAC on own and play with it.
    10.) Are there specific advantages in Oracle 11g RAC vs. 10g that would be worth the cost of upgrading our 1000+ 10g user licenses?
    => did not compare, though installed 11g.
    11.) Are there any studies on the performance advantages/disadvantages of running Oracle 10g on Windows vs. Solaris (or any Unix)?
    => running on windows? please do not. used on linux a lot. pretty stable and solid. recommend to go with 10.2.0.4 or higher.
    hope the above will help.

  • Using ASSM in 10g RAC with SAP

    Hi,
    It is recommended to use ASSM (Automatic Segment Space Management) with using 10g RAC with SAP. Our deployment is currently a single instance database that is not using ASSM. We plan to convert this single instance database to a 10g RAC database. I wanted to know what the supported method is to convert to ASSM, during this process.
    Will it require an export and import of the database?
    Thanks

    Hi Badar,
    of course you can move tables (w/o longs) via ALTER TABLE MOVE... but why do you may want to do that?
    ALTER TABLE MOVE is an OFFLINE action - nobody can access the table during the move.
    DBMS_REDEFINITION (used by the BRTOOLS) is ONLINE. Normal work can proceed while the data is copied.
    With ALTER TABLE MOVE you've to touch every single table (ca 50.000-80.000 in a SAP installation) by hand. PLUS you've to rebuild each index on each table by hand.
    The BRTOOLS do all that for you. In parallel if you want to.
    Moreover the BRTOOLS provide extensive logging in case any error should occur. ALTER TABLE MOVE does not.
    So better forget about ALTER TABLE MOVE... use the BRTOOLS - they are not that bad
    best regards,
    Lars

    Hi
    Please read that: Documentation http://download.oracle.com/docs/html/B10766_08/intro.htm
    - You can install and operate multiple Oracle homes and different versions of Oracle cluster database software on the same computer as described in the following points:
    -You can install multiple Oracle Database 10g RAC homes on the same node. The multiple homes feature enables you to install one or more releases on the same machine in multiple Oracle home directories. However, each node can have only one CRS home.
    -In addition, you cannot install Oracle Database 10g RAC into an existing single-instance Oracle home. If you have an Oracle home for Oracle Database 10g, then use a different Oracle home, and one that is available across the entire cluster for your new installation. Similarly, if you have an Oracle home for an earlier Oracle cluster database software release, then you must also use a different home for the new installation.
    If the OUI detects an earlier version of a database, then the OUI asks you about your upgrade preferences. You have the option to upgrade one of the previous-version databases with DBUA or to create a new database using DBCA. The information collected during this dialog is passed to DBUA or DBCA after the software is installed.
    - You can use the OUI to complete some of the de-install and re-install steps for Oracle Database 10g Real Application Clusters if needed.
    Note:
    Do not move Oracle binaries from one Oracle home to another because this causes dynamic link failures.
    . If you are using ASM with Oracle database instances from multiple database homes on the same node, then Oracle recommends that you run the ASM instance from an Oracle home that is distinct from the database homes. In addition, the ASM home should be installed on every cluster node. This prevents the accidental removal of ASM instances that are in use by databases from other homes during the de-installation of a database's Oracle home.

  • 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

Indeed, we don't plan the migration of application. On the other hand, it is complicated to do the assessment for application migration.

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