Step by Step RAC 11GR2 with Grid Infrastructure on Solaris installation

Y'ello All,
Please I need documentation for RAC 11GR2 with Grid Infrastructure on Solaris installation urgently.
Thany you very much for your support
BR,

What type of shared storage will you be using?
Properly configure DNS
Properly configure /etc/hosts files
Properly configure SCAN
Properly configure SHARED storage (Preferably ASM - "raw" devices) - make sure you partition the disk devices to "skip" the first 1MB of the device)
BEFORE installation, confirm grid-owner and oracle-rdbms-owner can read AND write to these shared devices from ALL nodes. Permissions must be set to <grid-owner:<grid+oracle shared group> (grid:oinstall where oracle is also in the oinstall group)
Properly configure ssh password-less connections for both GRID-owner AND oracle-rdbms-owner.
IP addresses required
3 SCAN addresses that point to myhost-scan.mydomain.tld in a round-robin fashion
PER NODE:
1 public IP address
1 virtual IP address
1 interconnect IP address should be iin /etc/hosts ONLY - Non-routable and not reachable via the public interface. DO NOT use CROSSOVER cable.
Interconnect should be on a DEDICATED INTERCONNECT switch.
As for the SHARED storage, the LUNS/Devices can be "carved" out on your SAN by your SAN admin. MAKE SURE that ALL devices in a given diskgroup are EQUAL size. (ie - DATA000=250GB/each, DATA001 500GB/each etc)
The installation guide gives a lot of directions on PRE-REQUISITES. Follow them. And remember, since you are new to this, you may install this several times before you get it the way you need it to be. Even installing MANY RAC clusters on multiple platforms, I still install it 2-3 times. Generally because the SA has forgotten some pre-req step.

Uninstall Oracle 11gr2 RAC database in grid infrastructure

Hi all,
After several attempt to install my Oracle database RAC with grid infrastructure, i want now to do a fresh installation as i have attempted 3 times and now i have all the procedure on installing the database and RAC.
Actually i have installed it correctly but now i want to cleanup my server and remove all oracle installation directory and do a fresh installation.
My question is what is the procedure to uninstall an Oracle RAC database and Clusterware with grid infrastucture and cleanup oracle base installation.
The architecture is:
GRID and clusterware: Oracle grid 11gR2
Database: Oracle database 11gR2
Database and grid storage: ASM
OS: linux centos 6
Thank you.
Raluce.

The deinstallation of Oracle GI could be not so easy thing to do, because it contains many components one should be aware of. The proper deinstall is important because it will safe you from many issues with next install on these servers
In general we need to be sure that:
1. all sowftware stopped properly
2. removed from oraInventory
3. binaries removed
4. /etc/oracle cleared
5. ocr and votes cleared using dd
6. /etc/oratab updated
7. .profile updated
8. init.d files in /etc/ cleard
Usually its recommended to use deconfigure scripts, if they fails for some reason, the manual procedure should be followed.
How to Deconfigure/Reconfigure(Rebuild OCR) or Deinstall Grid Infrastructure [ID 1377349.1]
How to Deinstall Oracle Clusterware Home Manually [ID 1364419.1]
As general recommendation its good idea to save your crs configuration for future reference.

How to install Oracle 11.2.0.4.0 Rac Database on Grid Infrastructure 12.1.0.2.0 (Windows 2012 R2)

Hi all.
This is the scenario:
I have a 2 node cluster Microsoft Windows 2012 R2 x86_64, the nodes are part of domain.
Installed Oracle 12cR1 (12.1.0.2.0) as follows:
Installation done using domain administrator named "installoracle" that has been EXPLICIT promoted to local administrator in both nodes.
One domain user named "oracle12c" with no administrator privileges neither in the domain or nodes.
Installation, after a lot of customization in the OS of the nodes, has gone ok, perfect indeed, not even a warning during runinstaller execution.
All services and resources are up & running, I have rebooted nodes and all comes back ok in place. In windows services I can see some services started with "oracle12c" user, and all windows groups: DBA, SYSKM, etc, has been created.
Now I have to install Oracle RAC database in 11gR2 version (11.2.0.4.0) to accomplish with application requirements.
So, I execute runInstaller (setup.exe) logged as administrator via domain administrator "installoracle" (the one that was able to do the smooth 12c GI installation) and the gui comes with out problems, but at 4th screen the one in which you have to choose what kind of installation you want to do (Single, RAC or RoN) I select RAC option, the gui returns error: crs is not running in the local node...
Finally, in order to deliver some database 11.2.0.4.0 for my customer, I try to do installation of SW for Single Node, I did using "installoracle". The sw has been installed in one of the nodes. Then I have created a database and I have stored datafiles in ASM (this ASM is part of 12c clusterware) and also register the 11gR2 single instance database in the Grid Infrastructure listener
So, whats next??? Why is this behavior??? I did similar installations in Linux/Solaris with no issue (well as everyone can imagine, always there are some issues, but when solved you got GI in 12c and databases in the release that you want 12c, 11g, 10g...)
Any clue?
Thanks in advance!!
Best Regards!!

To go back to old version (without changing compatible parameter), you can perform downgrade.
Instructions are available at
How to Downgrade from Database 11.2 to Previous Release (Includes 11.2.0.4 - 11.2.0.1) (Doc ID 883335.1)
In this case you will having all the data file including the new one.
But remember database may not be in the same status as before (Before upgrade). it may have invalid objects of higher version after downgrade.
Downgrade is applicable only to successfully upgraded databases. In case upgrade faced some issue, do not try downgrade there.
Your second approach it not correct. Note that each datafile header will have db version. We can not open database in normal mode when header version and binary versions are different.

Listener.ora file on RAC 11gR2 with SCAN

Hello,
I have 11.2.0.1 Rac with 2 nodes configured to work with SCAN.
The following listener.ora file was created during the rac installation.
(I only changed the name of the instance to XYZ in the output bellow).
There is only one listener.ora file for both the rdbms instance and the ASM instance.
Is it a good best practice or should i consider to create a seperate listener.ora
to the rdbms instance and to the ASM instance ?
The listener.ora is look as follow:
LISTENER=(DESCRIPTION=(ADDRESS_LIST=(ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=IPC)(KEY=LISTENER)))) # line added by Agent
LISTENER_XYZ_=(DESCRIPTION=(ADDRESS_LIST=(ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=IPC)(KEY=LISTENER_XYZ)))) # line added by Agent
LISTENER_SCAN3=(DESCRIPTION=(ADDRESS_LIST=(ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=IPC)(KEY=LISTENER_SCAN3)))) # line added by Agent
LISTENER_SCAN2=(DESCRIPTION=(ADDRESS_LIST=(ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=IPC)(KEY=LISTENER_SCAN2)))) # line added by Agent
LISTENER_SCAN1=(DESCRIPTION=(ADDRESS_LIST=(ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=IPC)(KEY=LISTENER_SCAN1)))) # line added by Agent

Is it a good best practice or should i consider to create a seperate listener.ora to the rdbms instance and to the ASM instance ?No, you should not be creating separate listener for each Grid & DB. Listener is node specific resource. Oracle recommends in RAC environment the listener should be configured from GRID home and it will be able to serve both Grid and DB services.
It also helps in maintenance where as you can upgrade DB without bothering Listener, can have several db instances, and can have several versions of DB supported by a single listener.
I hope this answers your question. if yes please mark the question as answered and do not forget marking answer as a Correct answer.

How to install oracle 11gR2 Grid Infrastructure for standalond server

Hi Experts,
we do not want to install ASM. under this condition, does any expert install oracle 11gR2 Grid Infrastructure for standalone server in Linux 5 at file system?
Please share tip and experiences of installed oracle 11gR2 as single instance include install oracle 11gR2 Grid Infrastructure for standalone server in Linux 5. no one node RAC configuration.
If we do not install 11gR2 Grid Infrastructure for standalone server . which function will be lost? restat server only?
Thanks
Jim

Grid Infrastructure automatically uses Oracle Restart as default if you're installing Standalone. You can turn this off using crsctl ('disable has', I believe).
According to the inference in the install docs (http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E11882_01/install.112/e16763/oraclerestart.htm#CIHCBGCC), you can install 11gR2 without Grid Infrastructure, but you lose ASM and Restart.

How to install DG4DRA in grid infrastructure env 2 node rac

Hi All,
is there any MOS note regarding installation of Oracle Transparent Gateways for DRDA in a grid infrastructure environment (2 node rac)
other than the note below?
How to Set up DG4MSQL, DG4DRDA, DG4IFMX, DG4SYBS or DG4Tera in a RAC Environment (Doc ID 421981.1)
I mean, it seems that the note does note provide specific instructions for rac env in GI (scan listener, default listener configuration, tns connect string to drda via scan, etc...).
Thank you,
Regards.
Domenico.

Using ZFS for Oracle RAC 11gR2 binaries

Hi,
We have following scenario,
Two Node Cluster: Oracle RAC 11Gr2 with Clusterware on Solaris 10
We want to keep Oracle & Clusterware binaries on ZFS mirror file system on each node locally and for Data files, FRA, Voting disks & OCR on shared SAN using ASM.
My question, is the above scenario certified by Oracle or can we keep Oracle binaries on ZFS...?
Will appreciate your input.
Thanks

Well my confusion started after reading this doc on oracle support:
Certification of Zeta File System (Zfs) On Solaris 10 for Oracle RDBMS [ID 403202.1]
"Oracle database 10gR2 (10.2.0.3 and higher patches), 11gR1 (11.1.0.6 and higher patches) and 11gR2 (11.2.0.1 and higher patches) are certified with Solaris 10 ZFS on Sparc 64-bit and Solaris x84-64. See Solaris ZFS_Best_Practices_Guide. This is for single instance ONLY. ZFS is currently not applicable to RAC and not Certified to use it as a shared filesystem."

RAC 11GR2 + VIP

Hi all,
I have a cluster RAC 11GR2 with 2 nodes on a site A (datacenter).
I have used 1 IP SCAN et 2 VIP.
The scan IP is 10.XXX.X.181
The rac1-vip is 10.XXX.X.165
The rac2-vip is 10.XXX.X.166
I used /etc/hosts file and not the dns for the moment.
These IP are used on a LAN.
Now, i need to attack this RAC 11GR2 via a WAN (on a site B) and so via other IP adress.
How can i do to make this? Do you have an idea ?
Thanks.

can you be more specific ? You want to setup new environment similar to you have in datacenter you mentioned?

Steps to Convert R12 Non-Rac to RAC database with ASM

dear All,
We have following environment.
R12.0.6 with a non RAC 11.2.0.2 database on on AIX (64bit). Datafiles are stored local filesystem. We want to do the following.
Migrate the database file to ASM
convert database Non RAC to RAC
we have gone through many oracle support documents but were unable to decide which path we should adopt. Any body who has done similar activity; please share only highly level steps. No step by step Instructions are needed. e.g. Install Grid Infrastructure (for single instance or the one which comes with cluster home???????), Move datafiles to ASM etc etc
Please make sure the steps are for 11gR2 and EBS R12.

Install Oracle 11gr2 on Windows 2008 R2 with ASM step by step Guide needed

Hi,
I am looking for a step by step guide on installing Oracle 11gr2 on Windows 2008 R2 with ASM etc. This is not a RAC environment since ASM architecture is a bit different in 11gR2, I would appreciate if anyone can point me to a guide to follow or provide a one.
Thanks in advance.

Steps to stop / start CRS & ASM in RAC 11gr2

Hello Gurus,
Environment is as below:
RAC 2 nodes
Oracle RAC 11gr2
Enterprise Linux Server release 5.5 (Carthage)
I am new to Oracle RAC 11gr2 and facing some issues while stop / start crs & asm.
We want to reboot both nodes and for that I have done following steps.
1. srvctl stop database -d <db name> -- from one node
Databse is down now.2. srvctl stop nodeapps -n <hostname> -- from both nodes
services are down now.3. Now I want to stop asm
$ export ORACLE_HOME=/u01/app/11.2.0/grid ( Grid Home)
$ srvctl stop asm - This is not stopping ASM instance.
4. crsctl stop crs -- this is also not working.
I would appreciate if you please give me full steps.
Thanks and Regards,

In 11gr2, gsd remains offline. When I had checked with metalink, they said that it is fine.
In 11gr2 you can stop all resouces as below
<CRS_HOME>/bin/crsctl stop has
or you can stop in the following sequence
stop or relocate service using srvctl
stop instnace using srvctl
stop asm using srvctl
stop nodeapps using srvctl
stop cluster resources as root - <CRS_HOME>/bin/crsctl stop has
To start
<CRS_HOME>/bin/crsctl start has - it should bring all resources automatically
verify the services status and start or relocate it back.

Oracle grid infrastructure installation take long time on step 15 (perform prerequisite checks )

Oracle grid infrastructure installation take long time on step 15 (perform prerequisite checks )
I'm starting install and configure Oracle RAC 11gR2 on redhat 6.3 , when i reached step 15 (perform prerequisite checks ) it's taking long time more than 10 hours and still checking .... i closed it and start installation again it's same still waiting in perform prerequisite checks 75% complete
it is normal ?? what should i do ?? how i can monitoring installation steps and why this step take all this time please help .

Pl identify which exact version of 11gR2 - currently only 11.2.0.3 is certified/supported on Linux 6.x - Oracle&reg; Database - if you are using 11.2.0.1 or 11.2.0.2, then you will need to use Linux 5.x
