Steps to add cluster instances/database to GRID 10gr1

Hi
I need to add cluster databases(10gR2) to OEM Grid (10gR1).
Guys can some one help me with steps / any link?
I got good doc from help link from OEM Help itself. How ever I here we need to do some thing with srvctl to keep quite CRS. if you any one know better/best please stop by and give me some instructions.
Thanks

Hi
I am also not very sure about that SRVCTL. I just heard from some other person. If we do not change some parameters while registering with service control then CRS work creazy. I am not sure what that mean is.
I do went to help document. There it is asking me to list 2 cluster servers to note in TARGET.xml. I never tried, one that I ask to work is prod so I do not want to take any kind of risk, so, prior to put that server on GRID, I want to get some BONDs give some suggestions.
How ever currently we do not have any CRS issues.
Regards,
RK.

Add another instance to RAC database...

Dear all,
If u want to add another instance to database... using dbca ... database should be shutdown or running....?
Please help.
Regards,
Imran

Perhaps asking the question in the RAC forum might be more useful.
http://forums.oracle.com/forums/category.jspa?categoryID=140
But - if you think about it ... the idea of RAC is to maintain ultra high availability. It would sort of defeat the purpose to shut down all RAC nodes to add or remove one node from the database.
(In other words the other nodes can, and probably be should be, up.)
The proper steps to add a node, in general, are
- Install and configure OS and hardware for new node.
- Add Oracle Clusterware to the new node.
- Configure ONS for the new node.
- Add ASM home to the new node.
- Add RAC home to the new node.
- Add a listener to the new node.
- Add a database instance to the new node.
The details are in the Oracle® Database Oracle Clusterware and Oracle Real Application Clusters Administration and Deployment Guide
The real kicker is that the clusterware is installed correctly and it recognizes the other nodes. Also means that the shared store is properly configured, and that is a step people often mess up.

How to install SSAS Cluster instance with Always On availability group(Standalone database instance) in same windows cluster servers

We have requirement like to Install the SSAS as Cluster instance where SQL Server Database engine was installed with Always On availability group.Please help me to how configure it
Currently we have following configuration in Current steup.
Node1 and Node2 are in windows cluster
Node1 has SQL Server Database engine Instance1 as Standalone
Node2 has SQL Server Database engine Instance2 as Standalone
Instance1 and Instance2 configured for Always On availability group with Listener.
Now we have to steup SSAS instance with High availibilty. I know we have only option is to install cluster SSAS instance.
Can some one provide information below.
1. How to steup Cluster SSAS instance in this servers.
2. Is this will have any dependancy on exisiting Listner name.
3. Is this affects the availiblity groups, if SSAS instance failed over to another node.
Thanks in Advance
Sriram

You will need to have SSAS installed as a clustered instance with shared storage. Refer to the whitepaper from this MSDN article
How To Cluster SQL Server Analysis Services
Availability Group is in it's own Role/Resource Group. When you create the clustered SSAS, it will create its own Role/Resource Group. This means that it will require its own virtual network name and virtual IP address and will not affect the existing Availability
Group. You can also have it on the existing Availability Group if you want to. However, you need to decide if you want SSAS to failover with the Availability Group or not. Your design choices will depend on that decision.

Can we use Grid Infrastructure 11.2 to protect a single instance database?

Hi all,
I would like to use Oracle Grid Infrastructure to protect a single-instance database.
I found these docs:
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/products/clusterware/overview/em-db-failover-128585.pdf (for 10.2)
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/products/clusterware/overview/si-db-failover-11g-134623.pdf (for 11.1)
I was unable to find a similar document for GI 11.2 . Do you know if such a document exists?
At the moment I only know that the GI is free if used for an Oracle Product, but I am not shure whether it can be used to protext external applications or single-instance databases
Andrea

Hi,
while this still works (the scripts for failover you find in the demo folder $GI_HOME7/crs/demo/coldfailover), the document does not exists, since with 11gR2 there is a supported solution called RAC ONE Node, hence rendering the manual setup obsolete.
For more information see:
Oracle Clusterware and Application Failover Management (Doc ID 790189.1)

Oracle ORA_16000 when trying to add standby instance to existing rac node

I attempted to use dbca to add a new standby instance to an existing cluster. The cluster is 4 nodes, Linux RHEL 5.3 Oracle 11.1.0.7. Also using ASM, asmlib, ocfs2 and shared block devices.
ASM instances are up and functional on all nodes. current config appears to be running normally and correctly.
I have a 4 instance database running on the cluster. I also have 3 physical standby active data guard instances running on 3 of the nodes. I wanted to add a new ADG instance to the 4th node.
While running dbca I received ORA-00604 and ORA-16000.
The active data guard database was open (read only) and redo apply was on. I am using data guard broker as well, but not grid control.
Does anyone have a procedure for adding an instance in this environment? Do I need to have the standby in mount state? If dbca won't work does anyone have a manual procedure for adding a new instance?
Thanks

Let's say you adding node nusclust160## to you existing cluster and dbca is a pain to use.
Extend clusterware to the nusclust160## server.
re: Page 64 of Oracle® Clusterware Administration and Deployment Guide 11g Release 1 (11.1)
1a.
Add undo tablespace to support additional node.
Re-check space for DATA1 on nusclust16007 and /dbdata/ORADB on sun16109.
As of Thursday, May 21, 2009 the DATA1 asm group has 53,584M free.
As of Thursday, May 21, 2009 the /dbdata/ORADB has 77G free.
In a separate terminal window on nusclust16007 run the following in sqlplus
CREATE UNDO TABLESPACE UNDOTBS4 datafile '+DATA1' SIZE 13300M AUTOEXTEND ON ;
This will take a long time to create this tablespace. Please minimize the window after submitting the ddl and move on to the next step.
1b.
Insure .bash_profile on nusclust160## should look like this:
vi .bash_profile
export ORACLE_HOSTNAME=nusclust160##
export ORACLE_SID=ORADB4
export ORA_CRS_BASE=/apps/ocr/oracle
export ORACLE_BASE=/apps/dbs/oracle
export PATH=/usr/ccs/bin:/usr/X/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/sfw/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/local/bin
export server=`uname -n`
export PS1="$ORACLE_SID@$HOSTNAME >"
alias cls='clear'
alias More='more'
alias ll='ls -lt | more'
Gather IP addresses for fourth node from /etc/hosts:
222.65.125.### nusclust160##
222.65.125.### nusclust160##-vip
10.333.248.### nusclust160##-priv
2. Start Oracle Universal Installer:
Go to CRS_home/oui/bin and run the addNode.sh script on one of the existing
nodes. Oracle Universal Installer runs in add node mode.
The Oracle inventory on nusclust16007, nusclust16008, and nusclust16036 are found under:
/home/oracle/oraInventory
Use a X windows enabled session (The OUI takes 33 minutes)
cd /apps/ocr/oracle/product/11.1.0/crs/oui/bin
./addNode.sh
a. In the first screen specify a new node as :
Public Node Name:          nusclust160##
Private Node Name:     nusclust160##-priv
Virtual Host Name:     nusclust160##-vip
If you receive the error:
" tar. ./bin/racgvip.orig: Permission denied"
Do the following:
cd /apps/ocr/oracle/product/11.1.0/crs/bin
ls -al racgvip.orig
paste here:
chown root:oinstall racgvip.orig
chmod 771 racgvip.orig
should now show:

4. After this is done crs_stat -t will show nusclust160## in the crs i.e.
I see:
Name Type Target State Host
ora....160##.gsd application ONLINE ONLINE sun...160##
ora....160##.ons application ONLINE OFFLINE
ora....160##.vip application ONLINE ONLINE sun...160##
Do not be concerned about ora.nusclust160##.ons being OFFLINE, as that will be fixed shortly in a step that follows this one.
5. As oracle :
On nusclust16007:
cd /apps/ocr/oracle/product/11.1.0/crs/bin
./racgons add_config nusclust160##:6251
This should take about one second to run.
If it says that it has already been added to the OCR you are fine.
If it hangs, you may need to reboot all servers to clear this issue.
6. Insure new node is properly added to ocr by running
On nusclust16007:
ocrdump
Check for the entries that show:
[DATABASE.ONS_HOSTS.nusclust160##.PORT]
ORATEXT : 6251
7. Check that your cluster is integrated and that the cluster is not divided into
partitions by completing the following operations:
On nusclust16007:
cd /apps/ocr/oracle/product/11.1.0/crs/bin
./cluvfy comp clumgr -n all -verbose
Should see Verification of cluster manager integrity was successful.
8.
Use the following command to perform an integrated validation of the Oracle
Clusterware setup on all of the configured nodes, both the preexisting nodes
and the nodes that you have added:
AS oracle on nusclust16007:
cluvfy stage -post crsinst -n all -verbose
Post-check for cluster services setup was successful.
good: Post-check for cluster services setup was successful.
9.
On nusclust160## as oracle run the following:
cd /apps/ocr/oracle/product/11.1.0/crs/bin
./crs_stat -t | grep OFFLINE
If you see this:
ora.nusclust160##.ons application ONLINE OFFLINE
then run this:
./crs_start -all
After:
./crs_stat -t
ora.nusclust160##.ons application ONLINE ONLINE nusclust160##
If you see the above then you can move on the next step.
Adding database binaries to the nusclust160## server and setting up the listener.
1.
From nusclust16007:
Open an X window (The OUI part takes 13 minutes)
cd /apps/dbs/oracle/product/11.1.0/db_1/oui/bin
./runInstaller -addNode ORACLE_HOME=/apps/dbs/oracle/product/11.1.0/db_1 $*
You should get a prompt to specify a new node, in this case you should see nusclust160## where you will need to put a check mark beside it.
2.
from nusclust160##:
Eventually you will be prompted to run the following as root on the new node
On nusclust160##
cd /apps/dbs/oracle/product/11.1.0/db_1
./root.sh
Running Oracle 11g root.sh script...
The following environment variables are set as:
ORACLE_OWNER= oracle
ORACLE_HOME= /apps/dbs/oracle/product/11.1.0/db_1
Enter the full pathname of the local bin directory: [usr/local/bin]:
Copying dbhome to /usr/local/bin ...

Database Configuration Assistant when a database is created
Finished running generic part of root.sh script.
Now product-specific root actions will be performed.
Finished product-specific root actions.
3. verification
Now set up the .bash_profile and .asm profile to on nusclust160## to support new ORADB4 and +ASM4 instances for the oracle userid.
On nusclust160##:
cp .bash_profile .bash_profile.bak
On nusclust16007:
sftp nusclust160##
put .bash_profile
On nusclust160##:
vi .bash_profile
change ORALCE_SID to ORADB4
cp .bash_profile .asm
vi .asm
change ORALCE_SID to +ASM4 in .asm file
which sqlplus
Should show the path below is $PATH environmental variable is set correctly.
/apps/dbs/oracle/product/11.1.0/db_1/bin/sqlplus
On nusclust160##:
oifcfg getif
This should show:
ce4 10.333.248.192 global cluster_interconnect
ce5 222.65.125.128 global public
4.
Run Netbackup Oracle Agent link script.
As oracle make sure ORACLE_HOME is fined.
env | grep ORACLE_HOME
then
cd /usr/openv/netbackup/bin/
./oracle_link
ls -al $ORACLE_HOME/lib/libobk.so
should show:
/apps/dbs/oracle/product/11.1.0/db_1/lib/libobk.so -> /usr/openv/netbackup/bin/libobk.so64.1
5.
On the target node, run the Net Configuration Assistant (NETCA) to add a
listener. Add a listener to the target node by running NETCA from the target node and
selecting only the target node on the Node Selection page.
I shall do the following on nusclust160## using X Windows
Now before I do this I see:
crs_stat -t
ora.nusclust160##.gsd application ONLINE ONLINE nusclust160##
ora.nusclust160##.ons application ONLINE ONLINE nusclust160##
ora.nusclust160##.vip application ONLINE ONLINE nusclust160##
Connect to nusclust160## and open up X windows session.
netca
Choose Cluster configuration.
select nusclust160## as the node to configure.
Choose Listener configuration, then Add.
When it prompts you for a listener name choose LISTENER as it will append _NUSCLUST160##(server name) to end of the LISTENER name to make a complete listener name.
At this point you will have listener to support the new node in the crs.
now
crs_stat -t
will show:
ora....0#.lsnr application ONLINE ONLINE nusclust160##
ora.nusclust160##.gsd application ONLINE ONLINE nusclust160##
ora.nusclust160##.ons application ONLINE ONLINE nusclust160##
ora.nusclust160##.vip application ONLINE ONLINE nusclust160##
At this point the necessary crs entries for gsd, ons, vip, and the listener on nusclust160## all we need now are the ORADB4 and +ASM4 instances added.
III. 7/11/2009 7:40 AM Sat [120 min] NTTA DBA
Use NON dbca method to create additional instances on the nusclust160## server. This will involve a complete shutdown of all RAC instances.
1.
Undo tablespace creation was taken care of in Step I,1. Check on the progress of the creation of tablespace UNDOTBS4 in the minimized window. Should see tablespace on primary and physical standby databases.
2. First we shall set up the +ASM4 instance on nusclust160## and add it to the cluster.
On nusclust160##
cd $ORACLE_HOME/dbs
vi init+ASM4.ora

On nusclust160##
cd $ORACLE_HOME/dbs

On nusclust160##
cd $HOME
. ./.asm
sqlplus '/ as sysasm'
startup
create spfile from pfile='/apps/dbs/oracle/product/11.1.0/db_1/dbs/init+ASM4.ora' ;
shutdown immediate ;
startup
show parameters spfile
6. Now that we have a running asm instance add it the cluster.
On nusclust160##
srvctl add asm -n nusclust160## -i +ASM4 -o /apps/dbs/oracle/product/11.1.0/db_1
srvctl enable asm -n nusclust160## -i +ASM4
7. Now that we have an asm instance let's set up a database instance.
On nusclust16007/ORADB1 :
alter system set cluster_database_instances=6 scope=spfile ;
alter system set instance_name=ORADB4 scope=spfile sid='ORADB4' ;
alter system set instance_number=4 scope=spfile sid='ORADB4' ;
alter system set local_listener=LISTENER_ NUSCLUST160## scope=both sid='ORADB4' ;
alter system set thread=4 scope=both sid='ORADB4' ;
alter system set undo_tablespace=UNDOTBS4 scope=both sid='ORADB4' ;
alter database add logfile thread 4 group 28 ('+REDO1', '+REDO2' ) size 100M ;
alter database add logfile thread 4 group 29 ('+REDO1', '+REDO2' ) size 100M ;
alter database add logfile thread 4 group 30 ('+REDO1', '+REDO2' ) size 100M ;
alter database add logfile thread 4 group 31 ('+REDO1', '+REDO2' ) size 100M ;
alter database enable public thread 4;
Need to add 5 groups to support standby
So at the end of the day 900M will be added to REDO1(29,577M free) and 900M will be added to REDO2 (29,577M free).
8. Set up init.ora, listener.ora, and tnsnames.ora for ORADB4 on nusclust160##.
a. init.ora set up
cd $ORACLE_HOME/dbs
vi initORADB4.ora
SPFILE='+DATA1/ORADB/spfileORADB.ora'
b. add entries to tnsnames.ora:
ORADB4 =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = nusclust160##-vip)(PORT = 1521))
(CONNECT_DATA =
(SERVER = DEDICATED)
(SERVICE_NAME = ORADB)
(INSTANCE_NAME = ORADB4)
ORADB =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = nusclust16007-vip)(PORT = 1521))
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = nusclust16008-vip)(PORT = 1521))
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = nusclust16036-vip)(PORT = 1521))
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = nusclust160##-vip)(PORT = 1521))
(LOAD_BALANCE = yes)
(CONNECT_DATA =
(SERVER = DEDICATED)
(SERVICE_NAME = ORADB)
LISTENERS_ORADB =
(ADDRESS_LIST =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = nusclust16007-vip)(PORT = 1521))
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = nusclust16008-vip)(PORT = 1521))
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = nusclust16036-vip)(PORT = 1521))
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = nusclust160##-vip)(PORT = 1521))
LISTENER_NUSCLUST160## =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = nusclust160##-vip)(PORT = 1521))
ORADB_PRIM =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = nusclust16007-vip)(PORT = 1521))
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = nusclust16008-vip)(PORT = 1521))
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = nusclust16036-vip)(PORT = 1521))
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = nusclust160##-vip)(PORT = 1521))
(LOAD_BALANCE = yes)
(CONNECT_DATA =
(SERVER = DEDICATED)
(SERVICE_NAME = ORADB)
c. add entries to listener.ora, The entries for most of this file should be set already, just insure modifications that need to be made are made.
SID_LIST_LISTENER_NUSCLUST160## =
(SID_LIST =
(SID_DESC =
(SID_NAME = PLSExtProc)
(ORACLE_HOME = /apps/dbs/oracle/product/11.1.0/db_1)
(PROGRAM = extproc)
(SID_DESC =
(GLOBAL_DBNAME = ORADB)
(ORACLE_HOME = /apps/dbs/oracle/product/11.1.0/db_1)
(SID_NAME = ORADB4)
LISTENER_NUSCLUST160## =
(DESCRIPTION_LIST =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = NUSCLUST160##-vip)(PORT = 1521)(IP = FIRST))
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = 222.65.125.###)(PORT = 1521)(IP = FIRST))
9. Reload the listener.
lsnrclt
set current_listener LISTENER_NUSCLUST160##
reload
exit
10. Check audit trail, add instance to cluster, and start db instance.
a.
Check for audit directory and start the instance.
/apps/dbs/oracle/product/11.1.0/db_1/rdbms/audit
If this audit trail directory does not exist then create it.
b.
srvctl add instance -d ORADB -i ORADB4 -n nusclust160##
srvctl modify instance -d ORADB -i ORADB4 -s +ASM4
srvctl enable instance -d ORADB -i ORADB4
Will probably show: PRKP-1017 : Instance ORADB4 already enabled.
c.
sqlplus '/ as sysdba'
startup
**Because the cluster_database_instances parameter requires the complete shutdown of all instances in the cluster, you might have an issue when it attempts to start the instance. If you receive an error then run:
srvctl stop database -d oradb
sqlplus '/ as sysdba'
startup
shutdown
srvctl start database -d oradb
shutdown
srvctl start instance -d ORADB -i ORADB4 -o open
11.
Modify spfile of ASM1, ASM2, +ASM3
On nusclust16007
. ./.asm
sqlplus '/ as sysasm'
alter system set instance_number=4 scope=spfile sid='+ASM4' ;

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.

11gr1 DB console not showing the cluster instances

Hi All,
11.1.0.7 DB with DB console deployed.
1). EM upload agent command works but on DB console, I am not able to see the cluster instances...
any config file I need to review?
I don't see any errors....the emctl dbconsole commands all work fine.

Hi,
Run the following command to check if the cluster instances have been discovered:
<Database Home>/bin/emctl config agent listtargets
If necessary, see Support note 578011.1 for instructions on using emca to add an instance to DB control.

Upgrade ASM instance database 10g to 11g

Hi,
In my environment, I have ASM instance database 10.2.0.3 running on solaris 10 (64-bit), I need to upgrade to ASM instance 11.1.0.6 database. please guide me an overview of steps...
thanks in advance

Thanks for the response,
Sorry, In my environment I know database (10.2.0.3) is mounted in ASM diskgroups, now i have a concern
1) If database is mounted in ASM diskgroups, could it be a database instance or it has to be only ASM instance connected to the database?
2) As in my upgrade from ASM instance (10.2.0.3) to ASM instance (11.1.0.6), do we need to upgrade asm instance as well as database? i mean to invoke DBUA twice for upgrading ASM instance then for upgrading database as well?
Sorry for some silly questions...please make me clear...

Add a DB2 database file in different drive

Dear all,
I would like to add a DB2 database file in different drive which is added recently.
eg: existing DB folders in drive H, now we need to add new data folder from drive J
please help me on this step by step procedure, looking for the earliest reply
regards
sathish

Hi,
what you have to do is to extend your tablespace with new containers on the new drive and AVOID REBALANCING !!!
Do do that, you can either use the "alter tablespace" command with the "begin new stripe set" clause, or use
the DBACOCKPIT to extend your tablespace and specify
a new stripe set there.
For details on the "alter tablespace" command see:
http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/db2luw/v9/index.jsp?topic=/com.ibm.db2.udb.doc/welcome.htm
and search for "alter tablespace"
kind regards

How to restore a single instance database to RAC (10g) using RMAN ?

Hi all,
I have a single instance database configured using file system in a unique server, so now I need to restore this database using RMAN to a new RAC environment with two nodes and ASM also.
Does anyone can help with this documentation or a link about any information about this restore using rman ?
I tryied found on metalink but threres isn´t this specific case. Only how to convert single instance to 10g RAC, but without how to use with rman information.
System: Windows 2003
Oracle 10g R2
Thanks.

In essense you are really doing nothing more than restoring a backup on a new host. If you want a blow by blow detail of how to accomplish it take at http://www.oracledistilled.com/oracle-database/restore-database-to-another-host-using-rman
In order to write the files to the ASM Disk groups you will use the SET NEWNAME FOR DATAFILE in your restore script. You will also need to create the ORACLE_BASE/admin/<DBSID> structure on all of node. Once you get the database completely restore you will need to edit the SPFILE to include the proper value for the CLUSTER* parameters and each the node specific parameters. Sorry that it is kind of higher level than what you are probably looking for but the link above and what I put here should get you were want to go.

Configuring multiple services in a single instance database

Dear All,
I would like to create multiple service names for a single instance oracle database (10.2.0.3 on IBM - AIX 6.1). I tried searching on the net, reading documentation, and also on the metalink but couldn't find anything relevant to single instance database.
Say I have two users, userA and userB, for which I would like to use two services (ServA and ServB) to connect to the same single instance database.
Any help in this direction is appreciated.

Thanks for your quick solution.
By the time you answered I was able to locate it in the documentation. I have tested it and its working perfectly. Here's the documenation link.
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/server.102/b14237/initparams188.htm#i1133481
It is very hard to believe you didn't find this in the documentation, and my suspicion is you didn't search for it at all.It is very hard to believe that you don't trust others and end up in suspicion. I wish you were sitting next to me while I was searching for the link/document.It is because the vast majority of doc questions are asked by people who don't read the docs at all.
Now, I'm curious about your requirement. While it can be done, it is pretty unusual. That always leads me to want to step back from the technical question and ask What business problem is this solving?

Add Standby Server in OEM Grid.

Hi,
I need to add Standby Database in Oracle EM Grid.. it is 11g Emgrid.. Standby database 11.2.0.3 is one server another one server is in 10g.. i need to add both server to EM Grid... We didn't configure Dataguard Broker.. is there any way to configure without dataguard broker. i have tried in Primary server on emgrid on availability page for add standby link.. but it's not accepting sys password for standby.... Please Give me solution.. We need Sync alert between Primary and Standby through EM Grid
Regards,
Madhan

From your description I do not understand what you have (provide full version numbers not marketing labels for each one) and their operating systems. Also the full version of OEM Grid.
What edition do you have Standard or Enterprise?
Is the source database RAC or stand-alone?
Did you read any docs telling you how to configure the standby? Post a link so we know what you were trying to do.
And finally "it's not accepting" means what? That the server reboots? That it gives you an error message you didn't think important enough to post?
Here's what your post reads like to me:
I need to add a second car for my family .. it is a 2009 Honda. Standby car is a Subaru wagon. I need to have both. I didn't do anything with my insurance policy. I have tried to start the car but it doesn't start. Please give me a solution."
{code}
Which car? Is it out of gas or did you use the wrong key? How can we know if you don't tell us.
Please provide all of the information and we should be able to answer your question ... but for starters. Data Guard broker is only "required" for RAC clusters.

Cannot add cluster disk on windows 2012

I have 2 servers connected to a shared storage array using Fibre Channel. Currently there are 2 luns on the storage device.
From the Failover Cluster Manager, when I select “Add Disk” from Storage – Disks, both luns show up and I can add them without problems. But if I choose to only
add one of them first (it doesn't make a difference which one is added first), then it will not allow adding the second one later. I get a message: "No disks suitable for cluster disks were found. For diagnostic information about disks available to the
cluster, use Validate a Configuration Wizard to run Storage tests."
When I do add one (or both disks at the same time), they work just fine for failover clustering.
I can’t imagine this is by design. Is this a known/unknown issue, or is there something special that needs to be done?
Thanks

Ok, no problem. I run the validation tests (Validate Cluster - Storage only) and I received the details shown below. I can clearly see that Cluster Validation tool does not find any disk suitable for 2012 cluster, and even I can see why (it is plain English).
Unfortunately this still does not explain how to fix the problem. Recommendations like "run Clear-ClusterDiskReservation PowerShell cmdlet to remove the Persistent Reservation from the disk" do not work - this discussion is available in another thread where
people having the same issue and no luck so far. I guess that I'm using old SAN (and I know that) that simply does not support SCSI-3 persistent reservation so those disks cannot be used in 2012 cluster. Oh well, will have to wait fro new SAN and then I can
play again...
Validation test results:
Physical disk with identifier {95059d50-a173-49bd-b029-fec326acd78c} has an existing Persistent Reservation placed on it, and will be removed from the validation set. This disk may already be clustered, on a different cluster or in use by another system.
Please verify the storage configuration and LUN zoning. If you wish to cluster this disk, you can use the Clear-ClusterDiskReservation PowerShell cmdlet to remove the Persistent Reservation from the disk.

No disks were found on which to perform cluster validation tests. To correct this, review the following possible causes:
* The disks are already clustered and currently Online in the cluster. When testing a working cluster, ensure that the disks that you want to test are Offline in the cluster.
* The disks are unsuitable for clustering. Boot volumes, system volumes, disks used for paging or dump files, etc., are examples of disks unsuitable for clustering.
* Review the "List Disks" test. Ensure that the disks you want to test are unmasked, that is, your masking or zoning does not prevent access to the disks. If the disks seem to be unmasked or zoned correctly but could not be tested, try restarting the servers
before running the validation tests again.
* The cluster does not use shared storage. A cluster must use a hardware solution based either on shared storage or on replication between nodes. If your solution is based on replication between nodes, you do not need to rerun Storage tests. Instead, work
with the provider of your replication solution to ensure that replicated copies of the cluster configuration database can be maintained across the nodes.
* The disks are Online in the cluster and are in maintenance mode. No disks were found on which to perform cluster validation tests.

Creating a RAC standby database for a single instance database

Dear All,
I have a task of migrating a 500GB single instance database to a two-node RAC database with a little downtime at hand. My migration strategy is to:
1) Create a RAC physical standby for the Single Instance database
2) Switchover to RAC standby.
Primary and Standby OS and DB configurations:
OS: Windows Server EE 2003 (64-bit)
DB: Oracle 10g Database Release 2 (10.2.0.4)
Oracle 10g Clusterware Release 2 (10.2.0.4)
To create a RAC standby, I will:
a) Install Clusterware (10.2.0.1)
b) Install Database (10.2.0.1)
c) Patch both Clusterware and Database (10.2.0.4)
d) Create ASM instance for both the nodes (+ASM1 & +ASM2)
e) create standby controlfile on primary
f) Move standby controlfile, RMAN backup of primary, pfile, listener.ora, tnsnames.ora, password file to standby host-1
g) make necessary changes to the pfile on standby host-1 like cluster_database, instance_name, thread, ...
h) mount standby database and restore backup
Kindly validate my steps and if there already exists such a document then please do provide me with a link.
Regards
