10g RAC on Linux

All,
I am having strange problem while setting up 10g RAC on Linux box. This is two node cluster (rac1 and rac2) Two probelms..
1. When I install CRS on rac1, it copies the files to rac2 and olsnodes -n works fine from both nodes, But when I run runinstaller on node 2 and try to see installed products, I don't see CRS oracle home there on rac2.
2. When I start installing 10g database on rac1 , at third step "Hardware Cluster Installation Mode:" I see my both nodes listed there, but I don't see "SELECT ALL" button on that screen. So when I finish installation, it doesn't copy files to rac2.
Does Anyone has any idea why it is behaving like this?
Thanks
Puneet

Hi,
I found one thing.. If I change ORACLE_HOME location while running OUI, it doesn't give SELECT ALL button , but if I let Installer to select oracle_HOME, it worrks fine and give SELECT ALL button too.
Don't understand why it is behaving like this?

You are using raw device for database files ? (How about Oracle Database? Enterprise Edition or Standard...)

10g RAC with linux 3 AS+ocfs

Hi:
Is anyone install 10g RAC on linux 3AS with ocfs successfully?
I am having problem with CRS installation where installer ask to run root.sh. My first node finished root.sh without any problem but not second node it give me "Failure at final check of Oracle CRS stack." error. Moreover, I found "ERROR: clssnmconnect: failed, rc = 3, node samurai (1), (ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=tcp)(HOST=racs01-priv1)(PORT=49895))" error in ocssd2.log file. However, I can ping privet and public ip/hostname without any problem. Any input or suggestions are welcome!

Did you ever get a responce to this?
I'm having the very same issue, which I can not find a work around.
Documents for the 10g install have been very few and far between, so any help would be the greatest!

Oracle White Paper- Storage Option for RAC. on Linux

hi..
This in reference with White Paper.. Stotage Option for RAC on LINUX. Author- Umadevi Byrappa.
Which states on page 10: To Use NAS for RAC database file storage select the file system storage option in OUI. or the Clustered file system storage option in DBCA.
With which i disagree. File storage option of oracle 10g RAC only shows.
1. Clustered File system.
2. ASM
3. Raw Devices.
When i try to select Cfs and select the shared directory on NFS it says. < Directory_Name> is not a clustered file system or Shared on Both <Server_1> < Server_2>. and at this point of time i m stuck.
1. I dont want to use OCFS as its not supporting NAS.
2. Selecting CFS doesnt recognise mounted shared volume as valid storage device option can only store OCRfile and CSS file.
3. So, I have to use ASM.. with zero padded files..which i dont want to because no other option. ( PART NO. B10766-02 PAGE C-6)
Also, I would like oracle to provide Back up Recovery Option or Document which tells me how could i Recover Database when i use Zero Padded Files.
What would be the best Option in the above scenario ?
I hope by applying patch or with workaround somehow it shows Filesystem ONLY.I'll be the happiest man in this Case.
Any suggestions and corrections are most welcome. I wish i m wrong.

NFS isn't a clustered file system at all - by RFC it is an exported file system with access controls
If your vendor offers an NFS solution over and beyond that - more power to them. However that isn't "NFS"..
http://www.faqs.org/rfcs/rfc3010.html
You can use NFS in a clustered server environment (to mount apps, read only data and for synchronous access to files), however it doesn't support the concurrency out of the box for RDBMS transactions - if a vendor is supporting this promise then that is for you to decide.
However i stand by my statement that NFS is a file system exported across your network and not a full clustered file system.

Where are Oracle files in RAC on Linux

I took over a 2 nodes 11g RAC on Linux recently. The company hired a contract installed RAC late 2008 and did not left any document. Thus I do not know ORACLE_SID, ORACLE_HOME. I looked into oratab, it exists but is empty. oraenv exist but not help. I tried to start the RAC but could not find find Oracle binaries. I tried to look at listener configuration, but could not find listener.ora file. There are directories like /u02/app/oracle/product/11.1.0/db_1, but it is empty.
I did some thorough search using cmmands like below but find nothing useful.
find / |grep listener
find / |grep .ora
ls -Rl |grep <admin, init ...>
These files should be on the shared disk. Would shared diskmount under / in Linux? whould above commands apply to shared drive? Why I cannot find Oracle installed files.
Appreciate any opineans and sugegstion

Appreciate any opineans and sugegstionYour RAC is running ???
about /etc/oratab file. if you have create database by "dbca" you should find something.
By the way check about oracle processes on your sever.
$ ps -ef |grep oracle | grep smonYou should find processes about Oracle Instance.
Or check init*ora files at /u02/app/oracle/product/11.1.0/db_1/dbs/
$ ls /u02/app/oracle/product/11.1.0/db_1/dbs/*
*** PLease make you you have one ORACLE_HOME, not 2 ORACLE_HOME(for ASM and RDBMS)
about ORACLE_SID
example:
$ ps -ef |grep oracle | grep smon
oracle 27935 1 0 Jan13 ? 00:00:43 asm_smon_+ASM1
oracle 16161 1 0 Jun04 ? 00:23:02 ora_smon_DB1that mean... ORACLE_SID=DB1 for rdbms and use asm
OK... It' time to learn about your RAC and may help you about ORACLE Database
Example:
- find about CRS_HOME find crsctl in path bin
$ find /u02 -name crsctl -type f
/u02/app/oracle/crs/bin/crsctl
I assume: CRS_HOME = /u02/app/oracle/crs
OR find (root user)
# grep ORA_CRS_HOME\= /etc/init.d/init.crsd
ORA_CRS_HOME=/u02/app/oracle/crsAfter that check Cluster running ???
# /u02/app/oracle/crs/bin/crsctl check crs
CSS appears healthy
CRS appears healthy
EVM appears healthyIf not start it (root)
#/u02/app/oracle/crs/bin/crsctl start crsAfter that check about resources're register in CRS
$ /u02/app/oracle/crs/bin/crs_stat
$ /u02/app/oracle/crs/bin/crs_stat -tOr get information every resources:
$ export PATH=$PATH:/u02/app/oracle/crs/bin
$ for x in `crs_stat | grep NAME |awk -F\= '{print $2}' ` ; do crs_stat -p $x ; doneCheck them and post
Good Luck

Oracle 11gR2 RAC on Linux 5

Hi,
I am trying to setup Oracle 11gR2 RAC on Linux 5.4 64-bit machine. I have used OCFS2 for creating shared disks. Encountered with the following error message while installing "Grid Infrastructure".
[INS-30014] Unable to check wether the location specified is on CFS
[INS-40103] The installer has detected that the software location specified is on an OCFS2 partition.
[IS-41312] One or more locations specified for Oracle cluster Regestry (OCR) cannot be used.
[INS-41514] One or more locations specified for placing voting disks cannot be used.
-- At the time of configuration i have created 2 share disks, 1) For Oracle software 2) For voting disk and OCR
Provided the same details at time of Clusterware installation.
Please hel me.
Thanks,

Actually for both Oracle software and OCR i have used OCFS2. bcz earlier in Oracle 11g1 RAC i did the same and able to do smooth installation Well, you can no more do that with 11gR2 and it's clearly mentioned in 11gR2 Error messages documentation that configuration of grid Infrastructure software for a cluster is not supported on OCFS2 partition. You'll need to specify a location that is not an OCFS2 partition.
Search for the error INS-40103 message at http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E11882_01/server.112/e10880/giinstaller_errormessages.htm
Cheers.

How can i prove rac on linux is better than on windows ?

Hi all,
Is there any document or any thread on this forum which will help me prove that RAC on linux is better than on windows. Actually i did not recommend to my management windows os for RAC, now the management wants the reason why did not recommend windows. I want some sort of proof or any document to prove my point. Please help ......

> now the management wants the reason why did not recommend windows
Then give them reasons. TCO. In-house experience and skills with Linux. Official support from vendors like Sun for Linux on their servers. Linux being used as the core development platform for Oracle. Linux proven as a cluster-based operating system - it leads the supercomputer/cluster market by a significant percentage.
According to www.top500.org (listing the 500 fastest/biggest computers clusters on this planet)*:
Operating System Family Top500
Linux 85.20 %
Mixed 6.80 %
Unix 6.00 %
Windows 1.20 %
BSD Based 0.40 %
Mac OS 0.40 %
* (In other words, if Linux is good enough to run 85% of the world's fastest computers, it is more than good enough to run your company's RAC)
There are numerous sound reasons for choosing Linux over Windows. But do not make performance claims that you cannot ever hope to backup with technical evidence.

Startup and shutdown sequence in RAC on Linux

I am trying to understand the start-up and shutdown sequence in 11g R2 RAC on Linux(OEL5.8).
can you please share me docs or sequence.

Hi Friend,
Example : Two node RAC. RAC1 and RAC2 instances.
Stopping RAC2 Instance :
=========================
1. Shutdown the Instance running on RAC2
2. ./srvctl stop asm -n csbppmaadbs02
3. ./srvctl stop nodeapps -n csbppmaadbs02
4. ./srvctl stop listener -n csbppmaadbs02
5. Check "./crs_stat -t"
Note 1 : Check the following also for healthy status & If any service of RAC that also we have to check.
6./crsctl check crs
CSS appears healthy
CRS appears healthy
EVM appears healthy
Starting RAC2 Instance
=========================
1 ./srvctl start nodeapps -n csbppmaadbs02
2 ./crs_stat -t
3 ./srvctl start listener -n csbppmaadbs02
4 ./srvctl start asm -n csbppmaadbs02
5. Start the Instance of RAC2
6. ./crs_stat -t
Hope it helps...
Thanks

Oracle 11gR2 RAC on Linux

Can we install Oracle 11gR2 RAC on Linux using OCFS2 for both Oracle software and OCR.
Actually i am facing problems with Oracle software location which is on OCFS2
Please help me

Though it would be technically feasible, oracle recommends against sharing oracle binaries for RAC.
You would be better off installing oracle binaries on a local mount on all nodes rather than a shared file system.
Cheers.

Steps to remove entrie Oracle 10gR2 (10.2.0.4) RAC on linux

Hi Gurus,
We have 10gR2 RAC (10.2.0.4) is running on RHEL5.5 on development servers. I would like to set up 11gR2(11.2.0.3) RAC on these development servers. Could you please let me know the steps to cleanup existing 10g RAC on these 2 node RAC.
My existing 10g RAC details are as follows
No of nodes 2
<RDBMS_HOME> for oracle binaries
<ASM_HOME> for AMS binaries
<CLUSTER_HOME> for clusterware home
ASM for storage
Thanks
Masoom

A simple Google search turns up this documentation source: [http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B28359_01/rac.111/b28255/votocr.htm#BGBGDHFG|http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B28359_01/rac.111/b28255/votocr.htm#BGBGDHFG]
You have to stop the node applications and the CRS stack, then use SRVCTL to change the public IP addresses and OIFCFG to change the private ones. The doc provides detailed steps.
