TAF with RAC

Hello everyone,
We have configured a two node RAC on Windows servers (Oracle 11G).
Our goal is to test TAF.
We have these entries in the TNSNAMES.ORA file:
GRAC1.WORLD =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS_LIST =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(Host = GRAC1)(Port = 1521))
(CONNECT_DATA =
(SERVICE_NAME = GIRO.GIRO)
(FAILOVER_MODE =
(BACKUP = GRAC2.world)
(TYPE = select)
(METHOD = BASIC)
GRAC2.WORLD =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS_LIST =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(Host = GRAC2)(Port = 1521))
(CONNECT_DATA =
(SERVICE_NAME = GIRO.GIRO)
(FAILOVER_MODE =
(BACKUP = GRAC1.world)
(TYPE = select)
(METHOD = BASIC)
Our test application connect to the RAC using net service name GRAC1.
We noticed that, when we stop the GRAC1 instance, the test program is waiting (looping into the OCI Failover handler routine or callback routine), until we restart the GRAC1 node.
My questions are:
Is it normal that, when the GRAC1 node is "down", our application does not failover to the second node (our backup node) called GRAC2?
Is it something badly configured in our TNSNAMES.ora file?
Best regards.
Carl

We have modified our TNSNAMES.ORA file in order to have this entry:
GRAC1.WORLD =
(DESCRIPTION =
(SOURCE_ROUTE=YES)
(LOAD_BALANCE=on)
(FAILOVER=on)
(ADDRESS =
(PROTOCOL = TCP)
(Host = GRAC1-VIP)
(Port = 1521))
(ADDRESS =
(PROTOCOL = TCP)
(Host = GRAC2-VIP)
(Port = 1521))
(CONNECT_DATA =
(SERVICE_NAME = GIRO.GIRO)
(FAILOVER_MODE =
(TYPE = select)
(METHOD = BASIC))))
...And the remote_listener parameter seems correctly configured on both node.
But our test program still does not failover on the other node when I shutdown the "current" node.
Regards.
Carl

  • TAF with FAN in oracle 11gr2 RAC

    dear all,
    our enviornment is 11GR2 RAC with 2 ndoe RAC. it has four different applications accessing the database.
    so for each application i have created services as A,B,C,D.
    services in NODE1- Prefered service in NODE2 -Prefered
    A B
    C D
    services in NODE1- available service in NODE2 -Available
    B A
    D C
    now i have the services as described above.
    each services are created with
    srvctl add service -d DB -s A -r NODE1 -a NODE2 –P BASIC –y AUTOMATIC
    srvctl modify service -d DB -s A -q TRUE -P BASIC -e SELECT -z 180 -w 5 -j LONG
    srvctl start service -d DB -s A
    now i have enable server-side TAF with FAN. so do i need to provide the TNS entries to application layer namely oracle client
    as below
    AP =
    (DESCRIPTION =
    (ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=TCP)(HOST=cluster01-scan)(PORT=1521))
    (LOAD_BALANCE = YES)
    (CONNECT_DATA =
    (SERVER = DEDICATED)
    (SERVICE_NAME = TEST)
    (FAILOVER_MODE =
    (TYPE = SELECT)(METHOD = BASIC)(RETRIES = 180)(DELAY = 5))))
    or
    do i need to add the above TNS entries in serverside tnsnames.ora file?
    1) the connection from jdbc thin or session established via JDBC thin is not having the TAF details in v$session view.
    SELECT machine, failover_method, failover_type,
    failed_over, service_name, COUNT(*)
    FROM v$session
    GROUP BY machine, failover_method, failover_type,
    failed_over, service_name;
    if i execute the above query i couldnt find any session is having failover_method as BASIC and FAILOVER_TYPE as select.
    all my application tier is using JDBC thin to access the database.
    if i use oracle client from application server to access the database i could see my session having FAILOVER_METHOD as BASIC and FAILOVER_TYPE as SELECT.
    so please provide me any realtime example for accessing database using JDBC thin with TAF and FAN properties for their sessions.

    Hi,
    1.) No if you define a service with TAF, then the TAF information will be provided to the client, without having to specify it again in the TNSNAMES.ora (neither client nor server).
    However it does not hurt, if you have specified it additionally (it just makes it more difficult if you want to change something, because the client side does not get updated).
    See this whitepaper for more information:
    http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/database/clustering/overview/awm11gr2-130711.pdf
    2.) However it seems you have forgotten to specify something with the service (you seem to be missing -m):
    srvctl add service -h
    Adds a service configuration to the Oracle Clusterware.
    -P {NONE | BASIC | PRECONNECT} TAF policy specification
    -e <Failover type> Failover type (NONE, SESSION, or SELECT)
    -m <Failover method> Failover method (NONE or BASIC)
    -w <integer> Failover delay
    -z <integer> Failover retries

  • Enabling oracle TAF on RAc environment

    Hi everybody.
    We are using Oracle 10g with RAC and ASM, i'm in testign phase now and i test if the one node is down automatically database connexion will use the other node. Note that we have only 02 nodes. For doing that i ahve seen to a documentation by creating CRM service to enable TAF (Transparent Application Failover). I've created TAF service from Netca and i have the crm service in my tnsnames node1. But when i run the following command:
    SQL> show parameter service
    i should have
    NAME TYPE VALUE
    service_names string devdb, CRM
    but in my case i have only
    NAME TYPE VALUE
    service_names string devdb
    If any one can tell me why CRM service doesn't appear or how to configure TAF exactly.
    I'm running oracle database 10g release 2 on HPUX v11.23 using RAC and ASM and HP ServiceGuard.
    Thanks for your help
    regards
    raitsarevo

    RAC One Node in 11g still requires the RAC licence option ! (unless you are running Standard Edition !)
    All major hardware vendors (IBM, HP, Sun etc) have had clustering solutions.
    SunCluster can be configured to allow "failover" of an Oracle Database Instance from one node to another.
    The database instance has to be on Shared Storage.
    SunCluster, itself, is a separately licensed product available from .......... Oracle now !

  • Problems with RAC and XA: Fallback

    Hello,
    we are seing problems with RAC and XA (Tuxedo 11, DB 11.2), specifically encountering "ORA-24798: cannot resume the distributed transaction branch on another instance".
    The first scenario relates to fallback after a RAC node failure. There are two servers, S1 and S2. S1 makes an ATMI call to S2. Both servers are in the same Tuxedo group, using TMS_ORA. RAC is set up for failover (BASIC), no load balancing.
    The sequence is:
    - S1 and S2 are connected to the same RAC node n1. All is well.
    - RAC node n1 fails. S1, S2 and the TMS_ORA all fail over to RAC node n2. After the failover has happened, all is well.
    - RAC node n1 recovers. All is still well (as there is no automatic fallback).
    - S1 (or S2) is restarted (either intentionally or because of a crash). Since n1 is up again, S1 connects to n1. Now we get ORA-24798. Permanently.
    S1 is connected to n1 and S2 is connected to n2. Since both are in the same group, both use the same XA transaction branch. When called, S2 attempts to JOIN the transaction branch that S1 started. But the DB (11.2) does not allow the same branch to span more than one node. Hence the ORA-24798.
    This seems to be a severe limitation in the combination of Tuxedo, XA and RAC. It basically means we still have to use DTP services, even with Tuxedo 11 and DB 11.2. Or are we missing something?
    We could put S1 and S2 into different groups, but that seems to be inefficient, and not practical for a real application (10s of servers).
    I am extrapolating from this that RAC load balancing would also not work, as S1 and S2 could be connected to different RAC nodes.
    Roger

    Roger,
    When using an external transaction manager such as Tuxedo you should still declare Oracle services as DTP services when using Oracle Database 11g. The Tuxedo documentation is not clear about this. The relevant 11gR2 RAC documentation is at http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E11882_01/rac.112/e16795/hafeats.htm and states
    "An XA transaction can span Oracle RAC instances by default, allowing any application that uses the Oracle XA library to take full advantage of the Oracle RAC environment to enhance the availability and scalability of the application.
    "GTXn background processes support global (XA) transactions in an Oracle RAC environment. The GLOBAL_TXN_PROCESSES initialization parameter, which is set to 1 by default, specifies the initial number of GTXn background processes for each Oracle RAC instance. Use the default value for this parameter clusterwide to allow distributed transactions to span multiple Oracle RAC instances. Using the default value allows the units of work performed across these Oracle RAC instances to share resources and act as a single transaction (that is, the units of work are tightly coupled). It also allows 2PC requests to be sent to any node in the cluster.
    "Before Release 11.1, the way to achieve tight coupling in Oracle RAC was to use Distributed Transaction Processing (DTP) services, that is, services whose cardinality (one) ensured that all tightly-coupled branches landed on the same instance—regardless of whether load balancing was enabled. Tightly coupled XA transactions no longer require the special type of singleton services to be deployed on Oracle RAC databases if the XA application does not join or resume XA transaction branches. XA transactions are transparently supported on Oracle RAC databases with any type of service configuration.
    A"n external transaction manager, such as Oracle Services for Microsoft Transaction Server (OraMTS), coordinates DTP/XA transactions. However, an internal Oracle transaction manager coordinates distributed SQL transactions. Both DTP/XA and distributed SQL transactions must use the DTP service in Oracle RAC."

  • TAF with FAN issue

    Oracle10gR2
    RHEL 4AS 64-bit
    Hello all,
    I have configured TAF with FAN and I have got it to work. Here are the steps that I did to make it work.
    1. Create a service with srvctl
    2. Start the service with srvctl
    3. exceute the dbms_service.modify_service package
    4. Add the new service entry into the tnsnames.ora file
    I tested it and it all worked fine. NOW, my question is I need to get it to work at the general user level. What I mean is if bob/bob@db1 connects to the database and issues a select query and then the instance is shutdown it doesn't failover...it looses the connection. How can I get it to work at this level? My current settings are SELECT and BASIC. THe failover works only when you login as SYSTEM, like the many docs out there show.
    Any ideas
    Thanks

    Ok, so my question is at what level does it need to be set at? The database or instance or both? This is how I have it setup currently.

  • Oracle Clustre, Oracle Cluster with RAC and Oracle 10g

    Is there a difference between Oracle Cluster and Oracle Cluster with RAC? Please explain. Do existing database codes run unmodified in Cluster or Cluster with RAC environment? What needs to be modified to make existing SQL codes RAC-aware. How to achieve 'all automatic' in case of failure and resubmission of Queries from failed instance to a running instance?
    In 10g environment, do we need to consider licensing of RAC as a separate product? What are additional features one derives in 10g that is not in Cluster +RAC?
    Your comments and pointers to comparison study and pictorial clarification will be very helpful.

    Oracle cluster like failsafe before or Veritas Cluster or other vendor's cluster is meant for HA (high availability) purpose. Which 2 nodes or more can see a shared disk with 1 active node. Whenever this active node failed through heartbeat other machine will know and will take the database over from there.
    Oracle RAC is more for HA and load balance. In Oracle RAC 2 or more nodes are accessing the database at the same time so it spread load across all these nodes.
    I believe Oracle 10g RAC still need seperate license for it. But you need to call Oracle or check the production document to verify it.
    Oracle 10g besides improvement in RAC. It's main improvement is on the build in management of the database itself. It can monitored and selftune itself to much furthur level then before and give DBA much more information to determine the cause of the problem as well. Plus improvement on lots of utility as well like RMAN , data pump etc... I don't want to get into too much detail on this you can check on their 10g new features for more detail view.
    Hope this help. :)

  • GG with RAC - failover

    11.1.1 GG on Oracle 11gR2 - Source is single instance - Target is two node RAC .
    We are planning to have HA for the GG process - If one node goes down we have to start processing from the second Node. - We are planning to have a shared file system for GG software - which will have all the metadata required shared across nodes - Can we use the RAC virtual IP for the pump process to ship the trail files - If one node goes down VIP fails over to the other node and we will have the trail files over there - Is it a supported config ? Can you share some metalink notes for configuring GG on RAC Target -

  • Problems with RAC installation with Windows 2000 Advanced Server

    Hello,
    I've two servers in cluster mode with W2K Advanced Server, and a RAID-5 array of 4 disks shared by both of them. My problem is that I've installed The Cluster Service of Windows in order to have an active/passive configuration of my servers, because I have a common directory structure that is accessed by the PC's of the LAN.
    By another hand, I want to install Oracle Real Application Cluster to manage my Oracle database but after create the extended partition and the logical drives when I execute the file \preinstallation_rac\clustersetup\clustersetup.exe to create the cluster, when I select the option Create a cluster the following error message appears me:
    "Any disk Oracle partition has been found. Stop this wizard, create an Oracle partition and try it
    again."
    I'd like to know if it's possible to have the Service Cluster of Windows 2k and the Oracle clusterware?¿ Altough before begining the installation I've stopped my Cluster Service as documentation suggests. If somebody knows what it's happening to me I'd be really very grateful.
    Thanks in advance,
    Isabel

    Hello Joel,
    I've already read all documentation provided by Oracle about Real Application Clusters
    and I've not found anything to solve my problem. Certainly I want to use OCFS but when I
    try to execute preinstall_rac\clustersetup.exe to install CFS the error appear and I can't
    continue with RAC installation.
    Besides I've tried command "lsnodes -v" and got :
    Could not load CM.dll
    Could not initialize cluster
    And when I've tried to run "clustercheck" I've got :
    ** Copy File: Create Directory failed - Error 183
    ** Directory = \\192.168.1.111\Cy$\Temp\opsm
    Created directory \\192.168.1.112\Cy$\Temp\opsm
    Could not copy file to other nodes [error = 183]
    I've read metalink Note 186130.1 Clustercheck Fails with Windows Error 183 and the only
    proof I haven't done is get the clustercheck.exe release1(9.0.1).
    Any suggestion will be very appreciated.Thanks,

    The question here is how to configure pin_setup.values for rac? i wonder if any body has an example of a working pin_Setup.values file that actually works with RAC?

    Solution: (search in support.oracle.com). It worked!
    This solution action plan applies to the shell csh, but very similar steps can be taken for other types of shells:
    echo $SHELL
    /usr/bin/csh
    identify the $ORACLE_HOME directory
    echo $ORACLE_HOME
    set the following environment variable according to the $ORACLE_HOME directory, as described in the product installation documentation:
    setenv PATH .......
    setenv LD_LIBRARY_PATH ......
    make sure that
    the $ORACLE_HOME/lib is included in $LD_LIBRARY_PATH
    the $ORACLE_HOME/bin is included in $PATH

  • ISQLPlus on EM with RAC

    So far, I'm not impressed by Oracle technicians' ability to explain features specific to a RAC system on 10g. When we open TARs, we find ourselves constantly getting juggled back and forth among different people because one will say, "Oh, that's easy" (until you mention you're dealing with RAC), and then the RAC people often won't know anything about the feature.
    Here we have some lovely docs available on all sorts of stuff, including advanced Enterprise Manager configuration:
    http://download-west.oracle.com/docs/cd/B12037_01/nav/portal_3.htm
    However, RAC is not mentioned in that doc anywhere. In fact, there doesn't seem to be any documentation on setting up Enterprise Manager with RAC (perhaps because nobody there knows how to do it). So, right now we have EM running on a box near our database servers, and it accesses them over the private network there, and we access that Enterprise Manager box over the web.
    Some things are working, others are not...one thing that isn't is iSQLPlus--anyone know how to get that running with the RAC system? (I mean, we already started the listener on the db servers and all that, but the error message on the EM webpage says for Grid Control, manual configuration is necessary).
