Runcluvfy.bat comp ssa - Shared storage check failed

I've run the cluvfy on Windows 2003 64bits on SAN with 3 nodes and found that it's unsuccessful for the shared storage checking. (whereas it's successful on Windows2003 32 bits.)
C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator>C:\_Ly1\102010_win64_x64_clusterware\clusterware\cluvfy\runcluvfy.bat comp ssa -n rac1,rac2,rac3

I'm not sure that it may result in the Clusterware Installation fail or not.
Here, I captured the failure screen :

Please help me out. Thank you!!

I just ran into this myself while building an enterprise system on Win Server 2003. The answers here did not sit well with me and I needed to be sure of the shared storage prior to proceeding further. Researching Metalink did not uncover any relevant information either. I then opened an SR with Oracle and I did get back a satisfactory response which allowed me to verify my shared storage. The entire text of their solution can be found at http://www.webofwood.com/rac/oracle-response-to-shared-storage-check-failed-on-nodes/. Basically, it is a method of using another utility to identify the storage device names used by Windows and then writing and reading to them from each node to verify each node 'sees' what is written by the other node(s). If this check is successful, you can then proceed.

Hello,
It seems that your storage is not accessible from both the nodes. If you want you can follow these steps to configure 10g RAC on VMware.
Steps to configure Two Node 10 RAC on RHEL-4
Remark-1: H/W requirement for RAC
a) 4 Machines
1. Node1
2. Node2
3. storage
4. Grid Control
b) 2 switchs
c) 6 straight cables
Remark-2: S/W requirement for RAC
a) 10g cluserware
b) 10g database
Both must have the same version like (10.2.0.1.0)
Remark-3: RPMs requirement for RAC
a) all 10g rpms (Better to use RHEL-4 and choose everything option to install all the rpms)
b) 4 new rpms are required for installations
1. compat-gcc-7.3-2.96.128.i386.rpm

3. storage configuration
PART-A Open-filer Set-up
Install openfiler on a machine (Leave 60GB free space on the hdd)
a) Login to root user
b) Start iSCSI target service
# service iscsi-target start
# chkconfig –level 345 iscsi-target on
PART –B Configuring Storage on openfiler
a) From any client machine open the browser and access openfiler console (446 ports).
https://192.9.201.182:446/
b) Open system tab and update the local N/W configuration for both nodes with netmask (255.255.255.255).
c) From the Volume tab click "create a new physical volume group".
d) From "block Device managemrnt" click on "(/dev/sda)" option under 'edit disk' option.
e) Under "Create a partition in /dev/sda" section create physical Volume with full size and then click on 'CREATE'.
f) Then go to the "Volume Section" on the right hand side tab and then click on "Volume groups"
g) Then under the "Create a new Volume Group" specify the name of the volume group (ex- racvgrp) and click on the check box and then click on "Add Volume Group".
h) Then go to the "Volume Section" on the right hand side tab and then click on "Add Volumes" and then specify the Volume name (ex- racvol1) and use all space and specify the "Filesytem/Volume type" as ISCSI and then click on CREATE.
i) Then go to the "Volume Section" on the right hand side tab and then click on "iSCSI Targets" and then click on ADD button to add your Target IQN.
j) then goto the 'LUN Mapping" and click on "MAP".
k) then goto the "Network ACL" and allow both node from there and click on UPDATE.
Note:- To create multiple volumes with openfiler we need to use Multipathing that is quite complex that’s why here we are going for a single volume. Edit the property of each volume and change access to allow.
f) install iscsi-initiator rpm on both nodes to acces iscsi disk
#rpm -ivh iscsi-initiator-utils-----------
g) Make entry in iscsi.conf file about openfiler on both nodes.
#vim /etc/iscsi.conf (in RHEL-4)
and in this file you will get a line "#DiscoveryAddress=192.168.1.2" remove comment and specify your storage ip address here.
OR
#vim /etc/iscsi/iscsi.conf (in RHEL-5)
and in this file you will get a line "#ins.address = 192.168.1.2" remove comment and specify your storage ip address here.
g) #service iscsi restart (on both nodes)
h) From both Nodes fire this command to access volume of openfiler-
# iscsiadm -m discovery -t sendtargets -p 192.2.201.182
i) #service iscsi restart (on both nodes)
j) #chkconfig –level 345 iscsi on (on both nodes)
k) make the partition 3 primary and 1 extended and within extended make 11 logical partition
A. Prepare partitions
1. #fdisk /dev/sdb
:e (extended)
Part No. 1
First Cylinder:
Last Cylinder:
:p
:n
:l
First Cylinder:
Last Cylinder: +1024M
2. Note the /dev/sdb* names.
3. #partprobe
4. Login as root user on node2 and run partprobe
B. On node1 login as root user and create following raw devices
# raw /dev/raw/raw5 /dev/sdb5
#raw /dev/raw/taw6 /dev/sdb6
# raw /dev/raw/raw12 /dev/sdb12
Run ls –l /dev/sdb* and ls –l /dev/raw/raw* to confirm the above
-Repeat the same thing on node2
C. On node1 as root user
# vi .etc/sysconfig/rawdevices
/dev/raw/raw5 /dev/sdb5

/dev/raw/raw13 /dev/sdb13
/dev/raw/raw14 /dev/sdb14
/dev/raw/raw15 /dev/sdb15
D. Restart the raw service (# service rawdevices restart)
#service rawdevices restart

/dev/raw/raw14: bound to major 8, minor 30
/dev/raw/raw15 --> /dev/sdb15
/dev/raw/raw15: bound to major 8, minor 31
done
E. Repeat the same thing on node2 also
F. To make these partitions accessible to oracle user fire these commands from both Nodes.
# chown –R oracle:oinstall /dev/raw/raw*
# chmod –R 755 /dev/raw/raw*
F. To make these partitions accessible after restart make these entry on both nodes
# vi /etc/rc.local
Chown –R oracle:oinstall /dev/raw/raw*
Chmod –R 755 /dev/raw/raw*
4. SSH configuration (User quivalence)
On node1:- $ssh-keygen –t rsa
$ssh-keygen –t dsa
On node2:- $ssh-keygen –t rsa
$ssh-keygen –t dsa
On node1:- $cd .ssh
$cat *.pub>>node1
On node2:- $cd .ssh
$cat *.pub>>node2
On node1:- $scp node1 node2:/home/oracle/.ssh
On node2:- $scp node2 node2:/home/oracle/.ssh
On node1:- $cat node*>>authowized_keys
On node2:- $cat node*>>authowized_keys
Now test the ssh configuration from both nodes
$ vim a.sh
ssh node1 hostname
ssh node2 hostname
ssh node1-priv hostname
ssh node2-priv hostname
$ chmod +x a.sh
$./a.sh
first time you'll have to give the password then it never ask for password
5. To run cluster verifier
On node1 :-$cd /…/stage…/cluster…/cluvfy
$./runcluvfy stage –pre crsinst –n node1,node2
First time it will ask for four New RPMs but remember install these rpms by double clicking because of dependancy. So better to install these rpms in this order (rpm-3, rpm-4, rpm-1, rpm-2)
1. compat-gcc-7.3-2.96.128.i386.rpm
2. compat-gcc-c++-7.3-2.96.128.i386.rpm
3. compat-libstdc++-7.3-2.96.128.i386.rpm
4. compat-libstdc++-devel-7.3-2.96.128.i386.rpm
And again run cluvfy and check that "It should given a clean cheat" then start clusterware installation.

Shared Storage Check

Hi all,
We are planning to add a node to our existing RAC deployment (Database: 10gr2 and Sun Solaris 5.9 OS). Currently the shared storage is IBM SAN.
When i run shared storage check using cluvfy, it fails to detect any shared storage. Given that i can ignore this error message (since cluvfy doesn't work wth SAN i beleive), how can i check whether the storage is shared or not?
Note
When i see partition table from both servers, it looks same (for the SAN drive, of course) but the name/label of the storages are different (For example: In existing node it show c6t0d0 but in the new node, which is to be added, it shows something different. Is it ok?).
regards,
Muhammad Riaz

Never mind. I found solution from http://www.idevelopment.info.
(1) Create following directory structure on second node (same as first node) with the same permissions on existins node:
/asmdisks
- crs
-disk1
-disk2
- vote
(2) use ls -lL /dev/rdsk/<Disk> to find out major and minor ids of shared disk and attach those ids to relveant direcotries above using mknod command:
# ls -lL /dev/rdsk/c4t0d0*

Hi,
CLUFVY COMP SSA checks if the used storage/location is shared.
If you do "cluvfy comp ssa -t software" cluvfy checks if your software home is shared.
It tells you it is not. Hence the checks fails (which is correct, because you said DB Home is not shared).
So where is the problem?
CLUVFY COMP SSA only makes sense to check the sharedness. If it is not shared, then there is no sense in testing for it.

Sebastian

Runcluvy on shared storage

Hey, I just might forget anything.
I am going to install a rac cluster on SLES11 SP1.
I am using multipathing where shared storage are provided by two SAN´s.
I see all LUNs and did a raw device mapping via disk by-id ( all LUNs hava a partion on it)
I am able to write with dd on the raw devices from both rac nodes at the same time.
I set the permissions to the raw devices
Installed cluvy.rpm on both nodes.
When I start cluvy it passes the first checks successful.
./runcluvfy.sh stage -post hwos -n raca,racb -verbose
But when its starts checking the shared storages - it fails.
But prereq needs to be configured for a successful check of the storage devices ?
Chris
cluvy comes out of the installation package from 10.2.0.1

if you would like to do pre-check, check with
./runcluvfy.sh stage -pre crsinst -n raca,racb -verbose
HTH,
Refer installation guide for reference.
Good Luck.

When installing clusterware, shared storage trouble

I was trying to install clusterware. When I typed location of OCR, I got error below:
Oracle Cluster Registry (OCR) is not shared across all the nodes in the cluster
Then, I found I can not mount ocfs2 on both nodes at the same time. But I can mount it on any one of nodes if it is umounted on the other one.
Can you anyone give me a hand?
Environment is as following:
- OS: Oracle Linux 5 (update 4)
- Openfiler 3 + ocfs2
- Oracle 10gR2

Configure shared storage (RAC setup in Windows)

Hi,
Can I use mapped drive instead of direct connect to the external drive while configuring the shared storage?
My problem is:
I have a LaCie Group SA LaCie Big Disk Extreme LUN 0 IEEE 1394 SBP2 Device (500g). It can only be directly attached to one node because there is only one FW400 port. When I use switch and tried to connect both nodes directly to the device by switch, only one node show it as a disk drive. On another node, the device is utomatically stopped by windows and unaccessible.
Then I tried to map it, but the shared storage test failed.
Any idea?
Thanks
Laura

Hi.
I struggled with this problem, but then I gave up and used VMware to solve the problem:

Migration/Live Migration fails with shared storage (SMB), but not all the time

I have 2 Hyper-V Hosts using shared storage via SMB. I'm having intermittent issues with migrations failing. It'll either go through the motions of doing the whole move and fail and/or when I try to start it again I get the following:
I've done a lot of reading on this and have done various things that have been recommended. For each Hyper-V host I've setup delagation via Kerberos. ie. HV_Host1 has CIFS - HV_Host2; CIFS - SMB Server; MS Virtual System Migration Service - HV_Host2 and
vice versa.
On the actual SMB share on the Shared Storage server I added permissions to the folder for HV_Host1, HV_Host2, Storage Server, Domain Admins and my user account for full access.
In Group Policy, I've blocked Inheritance for the OU containing the Hyper-V hosts, though I have added some of the Group Policy's manually that I needed.
Last thing, I also added Domain Admins to the Local GP on each Host for "Log on as a Service" and "Impersonate a client after authentication" as shown in this thread: http://social.technet.microsoft.com/forums/windowsserver/en-US/7e6b9b1b-e5b1-4e9e-a1f3-2ce72ea1e543/unable-to-migrate-create-vm-hyperv-cluster-2012-logon-failure-have-to-restart-the-hyperv
I get these failed migrations regardless if I start them on the actual Host or via the admin console from Win8.
At this point I'm not sure what else to check or the next step to take for this.

Hi Granite,
Please refer to following article to build hyper-v over SMB :

When I am launching the EAS web console and trying to log in, its giving me an error saying "Could not connect to Administration Server".
I looked in ESSBASE log file its showing an error 1051429 : "Essbase Product Existence Check Fails against the Shared Services Server with Error []"
This error actually started when I copied an Essbase Application from one of my computers to another computer. All I simply did is copied the application folder into "app" folder. I am not sure if migration
is possible just by copying and pasting the application folders. I am not sure if doing this messed up security with shared services. Also under c:\hyperion\essbase folder I see another text file named "SharedServices_Security_Client".
Its log for today is below:

From the log
Error establishing socket to host and port: chandan:1433. Reason: Connection refused: connect
The SQL server itself is not running or TCP/IP is disabled. That can be confirmed by runing netstat and see it is listed there.
Then run telnet chandan 1433 and see it can connect
To enable the TCP refer to this link

Oracle RAC with QFS shared storage going down when one disk fails

Hello,
I have an oracle RAC on my testing environment. The configuration follows
nodes: V210
Shared Storage: A5200
#clrg status

When the disk /dev/did/dsk/d2 failed (I have failed it by removing from the array), the oracle RAC went offline on both nodes, and then both nodes paniced and rebooted. Now the #clrg status shows below output.

crs is not started in any of the nodes. I would like to know if anybody faced this kind of a problem when using QFS on diskgroup. When one disk is failed, the oracle is not supposed to go offline as the other disk is working, and also my qfs configuration is to mirror these two disks !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Many thanks in advance
Ushas Symon

I'm not sure why you say QFS is mirroring these disks!?!? Shared QFS has no inherent mirroring capability. It relies on the underlying volume manager (VM) or array to do that for it. If you need to mirror you storage, you do it at the VM level by creating a mirrored metadevice.

Free diskspace check failed foe ecah node

Hi all
I am tring to install oracle RAC in Windows 2003 srver.I have creared 2 virtual pc.I follwed every step correctly coz the clusterware software installs upto vipca.After that i sudelny see a blue screen stating that the hardware failure .Now i am trng eith 2 virtual pcs.when i run runcluvfy.bat stage -pre crsinst -n RAC1,RAC2 -verbose
The error is

what should i do.Thanks

Define virtual PCs. Provide full description of the technology, vendor, and version number. If this is another attempt to use unsupported technology like VMWare then you are going against what Oracle recommends and you are on your own.
Since you do not have a valid clusterware installation as indicated by the cluster verify tool this is a really good time to stop the installation and think through these two questions:
1. What is your shared storage solution? With Windows you only have a couple of possible choices none of which you have mentioned.
2. What is your cache fusion interconnect strategy?
If you don't get these right you are wasting your time.
SB ... I have no idea why you think this question is in the wrong forum. Can you explain?

Hi,
Firstly is node RAC2 is reachable?
Secondly is check the C: drive space, how much space left?

User equivalence check failed for user "oracle" while running cluvfy

Hi All,
I am getting User equivalence error as follows while executing cluvfy. I want to install CRS on this server.
oracle@node200$ ./runcluvfy.sh stage -pre crsinst -n node200,node201,node202
Performing pre-checks for cluster services setup

I have sucessfully configured ssh and able to do ssh from all the nodes without prompting for the password. Also oracle uid and gid on all the servers are same.
I also checked in .kshrc file and there is no tty entry in that file. and I have also setup /etc/hosts.equiv file on all the node.
I still get the user equivalance error. Can anybody help me in this ?
Regards,
Raj.

Hi,
thanks.
i need some more help because first time i am working on RAC,
i am also having User equivalence check failed for user "oracle"
i got two machines, one is IBM machine and one is DELL machine installed with solais 10 (AIX installation). both machines are not connected by private network now. and no shared external HDD available now. it will take one week time to set up the HW. the user equivalence check depends the above two factors?
now public network is available and node reachability test "passed"
could you please tell me what may be the reason for the user equivalence check in my case. details are given below
i have oracle user in both machine. user creation done through SMC. home directory is /export/home/oracle
the following are the details.
1) $ ssh pc000905 id -a oracle
Enter passphrase for key '/home/oracle/.ssh/id_rsa':
uid=100(oracle) gid=300(oinstall) groups=301(dba)
$ ssh pc026376 id -a oracle
Enter passphrase for key '/home/oracle/.ssh/id_rsa':
uid=100(oracle) gid=300(oinstall) groups=301(dba)
2) user nobody exists.
3) all files n .ssh directory have same permissions.
4) ssh and scp is working with out password(rsa and dsa keys generated).
5) oracle user is using bourne shell
6)soft link of /usr/bin/ssh and /usr/bin/scp are created to /export/home/oracle/bin
7)ForwardX11 is "yes" in sshd_config
8) created a config file in .ssh directory and ForwardX11 is "no" in that file
8) umask =022 in both nodes.

Server Pool WITHOUT shared storage

The documentation defines Server Pool as:
+Logically an autonomous region that contains one or more physical Oracle VM Servers.+
Therefore, should it possible to add multiple servers (physically separate VM servers) to the same Server Pool even though they are NOT using shared storage? When I tried to add the second VM Server to the Server Pool I received the following error:
During adding servers ([vmoracle2]) to server pool (VM_Server_Pool), Cluster setup failed:
(OVM-1011 OVM Manager communication with vmoracle1 for operation HA Setup for Oracle VM
Agent 2.2.0 failed: <Exception: SR '/dev/sda3' not supported: type 'ocfs2.local' not in

Nothing is as easy as it seems when it comes to Oracle VM.
When trying to create a new Server Pool to accommodate my second VM Server, I received the following error:
