Test RAC setup - Question on Openfiler

Hello All:
Followed this doc to set up two node rac http://www.oracle.com/technology/pub/articles/hunter_rac10gr2_iscsi.html
I have successfully installed Linux on two nodes linux1 and linux2 per doc above.
I have successfully installed openfiler on the third node, powered by rpath linux per doc above.
As per the document above and next step, i need to configure iSCSI volumes using openfiler. The document talks about using the browser thru which Openfiler administration is performed.
The issue i am facing is, i cannot get the browser installed on openfiler. How do i do this?
This node is not connected to the internet.
I have downloaded the firefox mozilla on a usb stick, how do i access the usb flashdrive on the openfiler and install the browser?
Is there a gui for openfiler?
If anybody has any experiences with this, i appreciate if they can share.
Thanks a ton
San~

Openfiler should be running a web server. So you should be able to access if from a browser on other machines to which it is connected
Possibly the easiest way to go.

  • SCCM 2012 Test Lab Setup Questions...

    Hi all,
    I'm trying to set up a SCCM test lab with VMs so I can test deployment of our software package (.msi).  I downloaded the System Center 2012: Configuration Manager Test Lab Guide, which appears to consist of the following required machine setups...
    -One server running System Center 2012 Configuration Manager named CM1. CM1 uses the Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1 Enterprise Edition operating system.
    -One pre-existing server running SQL Server 2008 R2 Enterprise named APP1. APP1 uses the Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1 Enterprise Edition operating system.
    -One pre-existing client running on Windows 7 Ultimate Edition named CLIENT1.
    From this document, the first step is to Complete the Base Configuration.  When I download that document, it lists the following needed systems...
    One computer running Windows Server 2008 R2 Enterprise Edition named
    DC1 that is configured as an intranet domain controller, Domain Name System (DNS) server, Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) server, and an enterprise root certification authority
    (CA).
    One intranet member server running Windows Server 2008 R2 Enterprise Edition named
    APP1 that is configured as a general application and web server with secure sockets layer (SSL) support. APP1 also hosts the certificate revocation list (CRL) for the enterprise root CA
    installed on DC1.
    One roaming member client computer running Windows 7 Enterprise or Ultimate named
    CLIENT1.
    One intranet member server running Windows Server 2008 R2 Enterprise Edition named EDGE1 that is configured as an Internet edge server.
    One standalone server running Windows Server 2008 R2 Enterprise Edition named
    INET1 that is configured as an Internet DNS server, web server, and DHCP server.
    The Base Configuration test lab consists of two subnets that simulate the following:
    The Internet, referred to as the Internet subnet (131.107.0.0/24).
    An intranet, referred to as the Corpnet subnet (10.0.0.0/24), separated from the Internet subnet by EDGE1.
    My question(s)...  How many separate VMs are required to set up the test lab, 7?  Or are APP1 & CLIENT1 the same system for both setup guides, which I guess would bring the total of needed systems/vms to 5?
    Can any of the images serve a dual purpose to lessen the number needed even further?
    Any information would be greatly appreciated!
    THANKS IN ADVANCE!!

    There's no correct answer here as ConfigMgr itself can run on a single server or its roles can be spread out to many different servers. Ultimately, in a pure lab, there is rarely a reason to use more than a single server unless you are trying to simulate
    a production deployment where the roles have been separated.
    This single server doesn't include a DC though (as the ConfigMgr site server must be a member of an AD domain) or a client to manage though so that brings the total up to 3. You technically could put the ConfigMgr site server on the DC; however, that
    is rarely done in production and cause a few unique configuration issues. You could also treat the DC as your managed client but that's typically not a great use case for testing client management.
    I have no idea what lab guide you are following, but remember the lab guide is set up to walk you through many different scenarios -- some of which you many not care about. ConfigMgr is a huge and complex application that can be installed in many, many different
    configurations based upon the goals of the installation and the organization it supports so it ultimately depends upon exactly what you are after. I'd suggested doing some additional supplemental reading like TechNet and/or one of the publishes books
    available instead of just blindly following the lab guide. That's not to say the lab guide doesn't have value, but if you want to follow it, then you need to follow it.

  • Configuring our RAC environment Questions

    The environment consists of Sun Solaris 10, Veritas, and 10g RAC:
    Questions:
    I need to know the settings and configuration of the entire software stack that will be the foundation of the oracle RAC environment....Network configurations, settings and requirements for any networks including the rac network between servers
    How to set up the solaris 10k structures: what goes into the global zones, the containers, the resource groups, RBAC roles, SMF configuration, schedulers?
    Can we use zfs, and if so, what configuration, and what settings?
    In addition, these questions I need answers to:
    What I am looking for is:
    -- special hardware configuration issues, in particular the server rac interconnect. Do we need a hub, switch or crossover cables configured how.
    -- Operating System versions and configuration. If it is Solaris 10, then there are more specific requirements: how to handle smf, containers, kernel settings, IPMP, NTP, RBAC, SSH, etc.
    -- Disk layout on SAN, including a design for growth several years out: what are the file systems with the most contention, most use, command tag depth issues etc. (can send my questionnaire)
    -- Configuration settings\ best practices for Foundation suite for RAC and Volume manager
    -- How to test and Tune the Foundation suite settings for thru-put optimization. I can provide stats from the server and the san, but how do we coordinate that with the database.
    -- How to test RAC failover -- what items will be monitored for failover that need to be considered from the server perspective.
    -- How to test data guard failures and failover -- does system administration have to be prepared to help out at all?
    -- How to configure Netbackup --- backups

    Answering all these questions accurately and correctly for you implementation might be a bit much for a forum posting.
    First I'd recommend accessing the Oracle documentation on otn.oracle.com. This should get you the basics about what is supported for the environment your looking to set up, and go a long way to answering your detailed questions.
    Then I'd break this down into smaller sets of specific questions and try and get the RAC axters on the RAC forum to help out.
    See: Community Discussion Forums » Grid Computing » Real Application Clusters
    Finally Oracle Support via Metalink should be able to fill in any gaps int he documentation.
    Good luck on your project,

  • Active/Passive RAC setup in 11.2 Standard Edition?

    For the ACTIVE/PASSIVE setup in 10g RAC, the ACTIVE_INSTANCE_COUNT parameter works very well. However, in 11.2 version this parameter is obsolete. I'm testing this on our Test RAC server with Oracle Standard Edition 11.2.0.1. What are the other ways possible for an ACTIVE/PASSIVE cluster in Oracle 11.2? Has anybody gone through this before? I know that Oracle Enterprise Edition supports RAC One Node, but I've Standard Edition & moreover, I'm planning to have 2 databases on this cluster with 1 database being Active/Passive & the other being Passive/Active on the 2 nodes.
    Appreciate any quick help!! Thanks.
    Satish...

    Hi user1701261,
    One option to divert traffic to specific node could be setting 11g Services in active , passive mode.
    srvctl add service -d DB01 -s DB01_SRV -r "db011" -a "db012, db013"
    Where
    -d <db_unique_name> Unique name for the database
    -s <service> Service name
    -r "<preferred_list>" Comma separated list of preferred instances
    -a "<available_list>" Comma separated list of available instances
    Session will switch to incase db011 instance goes down.
    active_instance_count parameter is effective only for Two node cluster, whereas using this method you could get more flexibility.

  • Testing RAC installation

    Hi all,
    I followed http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/database/clustering/overview/rac112014-ovm-tmplt-test-config-365617.pdf to setup a 2 node rac using Oracle VM manager. I have went through all the steps, and now i am wondering how to test the setup and see if the RAC functioning correctly.

    Hi,
    if you have access to support.oracle.com you can download a testplan from the RAC Startekits, which would help you find corresponding test cases.
    If your VMs are running a "crash" of a server can easily be simulated by using "xm destroy" on the commandline of the OVM server.
    Storage errors are more difficult to reproduce, since the "xm block-detach" does not work if the lun is still accessed by the VM. So testing a storage error is difficult in these environment.
    Don't think a DD can simulate a storage error => it doesn't !

  • Ethernet Cards(NICs) in RAC setup

    DB version: 11g
    I came across this nice link about RAC setup
    http://www.akadia.com/services/ora_rac.html
    Question 1.
    In the diagram, I can see eth0 and eth1 in both nodes. They are physical ethernet cards (NICs). Right?
    Question 2.
    Each node having 2 ethernet cards is industry's standard practice. Right?
    Question 3.
    For Private InterConnect ===>One ethernet card from each node, connected via Switch1
    For Public InterConnect plus Connection to Shared storage  ====> One ethernet card from each node, connected via Switch2Is this the standard practice in Production DBs?

    resistanceIsFruitful wrote:
    In the diagram, I can see eth0 and eth1 in both nodes. They are physical ethernet cards (NICs). Right? Yes. (or virtual ones in a virtualised environment).
    Question 2.
    Each node having 2 ethernet cards is industry's standard practice. Right?Yes and No. Yes, typically 2 ethernet ports. Servers usually will have 4 or more ports, if one also includes the management ethernet ports of the server. (but these cannot be used by o/s or RAC/Grid software).
    If one wants to have failover for either the private or public interfaces, then at least 2 physical interfaces are needed for each. E.g. eth0 and eth1 will be bonded as logical interface bond0 for the public network, and eth2 and eth3 bonded as bond1 for the private network.
    Question 3.
    For Private InterConnect ===>One ethernet card from each node, connected via Switch1
    For Public InterConnect plus Connection to Shared storage ====> One ethernet card from each node, connected via Switch2
    Is this the standard practice in Production DBs?Yes - fundamentally this is correct. You want your Interconnect to be a fully private network with a dedicated switch. That said, high availability does not mean all your connectivity eggs in a single basket. If you have a single private switch, that is a single point of failure for the entire cluster. If you have a single private interface, that is a single point of failure for that node to the Interconnect (cable failures are not uncommon).
    Thus you should be looking at redudancy at both the switch and the NIC/interface levels.

  • Oracle 11gR2 RAC setup with ASM option running on two nodes . Seeking help

    Hi ,
    Recently we have migrated to 11gR2 extended RAC for one of our application using ASM . Its a two node RAC setup . We are using ASM Normal redundancy feature maintaining two failure group .
    I need few clarification regarding our new DR set up .
    We are planning to have EMC SRDF replication from any of node storage ( Either 1 or 2) to the DR disks .
    Its stright to use when we use the normal file systems . In case of ASM , I am not sure how this replication will work ? and on which level the replication should happen ?
    Do i need an ASM instance up and running on DR server , Which will recognize the disks as it is once DR disks are separated from prod replication and assigned to the server ?
    What should be prerequisite on DR server before we can start the srdf replication (EMC) and make it work .
    Thanks for All your Valuble suggestion .

    Before you decide to use EMC replication give considerable thought to the fact that you are introducing a single point of failure.
    Hardware snapshot replication is very fast. That is all it is. If you database crashes because of corruption on disk ... your replica will be equally corrupt.
    What is fast can not do what DataGuard does ... verify quality. If the point is DR. Go with DataGuard unless EMC is willing to, in writing (not verbally) give you a guarantee (in hard cash) to cover all costs if they replicate bad blocks and it causes an outage.
    And just so no one thinks I'm picking o EMC ... the same weakness exists with all of the other storage vendor's products.

  • RAC setup on VMware Workstation is possible?

    Hi,
    Is it possible to create a RAC setup on VMware workstation(VMware-workstation-6.5.1-126130) or VMware server is mandatory for such a setup.
    My planned RAC setup will as show below.
    OS:Enterprise-R5-U2-Server-i386
    Oracle clusterware:10201_clusterware_linux32
    Oracle Database:10201_database_linux32
    I am planning to store OCR and Voting disks on shared RAW devices and database files on ASM.
    Thank You and Regards...

    Yes its possible to install it over workstation. There is as such o difference in both the products except that server is free but workstation is paid. Otherwise, both are virual machine softwares.

    Hi Carsten
    Thanks for the response. My versions of OWB are the same it's just the database versions that are different.
    I ended up opening an SR but since the version is so old there wasn't much help except to try and apply the 10.1.0.5 OWB patch and cross my fingers.
    I think I'll just end up putting the new repository in a different Oracle 10g database.
    Thanks again for your help.

  • LoginModule with JAAS, setup question for Frank Nimphius

    Hi Frank,
    i am trying to use a custom LoginModule in conjuction with the setup procedure in your "J2EE Security in Oracle ADF Web Applications" white paper. Have you done this before? can you provide roadmap for additional/alternate setup steps needed to use a LoginModule?
    this is my original post from early this week:
    JAAS Setup question
    thanks,
    brenden

    Brenden,
    please refer to the OC4J security documentation which si a part of the Oracle Application Server documentation that can be looked up online here on OTN. Custom LoginModule configurations require OC4J 9.0.4. In addition, this feature also only works with the jazn-data.xml provider and not with OID.
    From the perspective of this whitepaper, the LoginModule will be used by the OC4J container to authenticate users and thus should not require any change in teh paper.
    I haven't yet had the time created an example and document that showcases how to do this. Hopefully christmas will give me some rest to look into this.

  • RAC setup for R12

    Hi,
    I read docs about EBS R12.1 RAC setup that said:
    The traditional and still widely-used configuration where the Concurrent (Parallel) Processing servers
    are located on the database tier. Unless there is a network constraint, the recommendation now is
    to place them on the application tier for greater flexibility and scalability.Right now we have a multi node setup (not yet on RAC) , the AppsTier is on node1 (including the Concurrent Managers which is the default setup), while the Db-Tier is on node2. Does this mean I do not need to transfer anymore the Concurrent Manager to the Db-Tier on node2?
    Are Concurrent Managers also referred to as the Concurrent Processing servers?
    If my Concurrent Managers are located on the AppsTier, How can I convert it to Concurrent Paralllel Processing servers? Can you please give me notes on how to setup this type of configuration?
    Thanks a lot,

  • RAC setup- Configure hostname in ODI agent

    I have my Master & Work repositories hosted on a Oracle RAC environment. I have a standalone ODI agent which might installed in the same physical server or in a different server.
    In a RAC setup, there are multiple hostnames for the same database. How do I make the ODI agent aware that it should look into a 2nd server (when the 1st host is down) when trying to connect to the repository ? I want to know where this should be configured in the agent setup.
    Does this get automatically taken care of once I include both the hostnames in the JDBC URL of the repositories ?

    All depends on the JDBC you're using...
    JDBC Thin work with the Oracle listener,
    and JDBC OCI (which need an Oracle Client on the machine) works with a TNS description (here you can define several HOST).
    I had have several issues with the Thin on our RAC so we've changed for an OCI one...
