TimesTen database in Sun Cluster environment

Hi,
Currently we have our application together with the TimesTen database installed at the customer on two different nodes (running on Sun Solaris 10). The second node acts as a backup to provide failover functionality, although right now only manual failover is supported.
We are now looking into a hot-standby / high availability solution using Sun Cluster software. As understood from the documentation, applications can be 'plugged-in' to the Sun Cluster using Agents to monitor the application. Sun Cluster Agents should be already available for certain applications such as:
# MySQL
# Oracle 9i, 10g (HA and RAC)
# Oracle 9iAS Application Server
# PostgreSQL
(See http://www.sun.com/software/solaris/cluster/faq.jsp#q_19)
Our question is whether Sun Cluster Agents are already (freely) available for TimesTen? If so, where to find them. If not, should we write a specific Agent separately for TimesTen or handle database problems from the application.
Does someone have any experience using TimesTen in a Sun Cluster environment?
Thanks in advance!

Yes, we use 2-way replication, but we don't use cache connect. The replication is created like this on both servers:
create replication MYDB.REPSCHEME
element SERVER01_DS datastore
master MYDB on "SERVER01_REP"
transmit nondurable
subscriber MYDB on "SERVER02_REP"
element SERVER02_DS datastore
master MYDB on "SERVER02_REP"
transmit nondurable
subscriber MYDB on "SERVER01_REP"
store MYDB on "SERVER01_REP"
port 16004
failthreshold 500
store MYDB on "SERVER02_REP"
port 16004
failthreshold 500
The application runs on SERVER01 and is standby on SERVER02. If an invalid state is detected in the application, the application on SERVER01 is stopped and the application on SERVER02 is started.
In addition to this, we want to fail over if the database on the SERVER01 is in invalid state. What should we have monitored by the Clustering Agent to detect an invalid state in TT?

  • Hardware checking in Sun Cluster environment

    Hi! I wonder how I can check my hardware in Sun Cluster environment... I consider to use SunVTS, but it is not supported software to use with SC. Is there any other way to test HW which works under SC instead of OBP and POST testing?.. Or maybe there are some ways to use SunVTS in some cases, for instance after booting node in non-cluster mode or something else... I need to put HW to long-term stress testing but at that moment I can think only about SunVTS...

    Thanks for your answer! Are there any restrictions to hardware classes or I can test any device in my server?.. There were some opinions in [this thread|http://forums.sun.com/thread.jspa?forumID=842&threadID=5418126] that I shouldn't put stress test on disk drives...

  • Multiple Oracle databases in Sun cluster 3.2 (without RAC setup)

    There are 2 Sun SPARC (Sun Fire T2000) servers with Solaris 10 (05/09) OS and Sun Cluster 3.2 software. We need two different Oracle databases & instances (Oracle 10g R2 without RAC) for an application. The first database is for Production and need to be configured in the first node & Shared storage disk and need high availability. This database should run from the second node if the first node fails. The second database is for Quality/Test and it is prefered to be running in the Second node for better load distribution. This DB doesnt require any failover.
    The shared storage is Sun SE 3510 FC and multiple LUNs can be created for different databases..
    Is it possible to configure two different resource groups (one for Quality and other for Production) and make the first node primary for Production RG, and the second node primary for Quality RG and thus distributing the load on 2 servers ? If possible, what special configuration required in Sun OS and Cluster side ?
    Appreciate if you can give some configuration procedures/documents for this multi-master cluster setup..

    You can configure two resource groups, such as:
    # clrg create -n node-a,node-b prod-rg
    # clrg create -n node-b qa-rgand you configure the required resources (disk groups / file systems, logical host, oracle listener, oracle server) as described within
    [http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/doc/819-2980?l=en&a=expand|http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/doc/819-2980?l=en&a=expand]
    Note that this is not really called a "multi-master" configuration - that has a specific meaning for a resource group (see [http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/doc/820-4682/babefcja?l=en&a=view|http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/doc/820-4682/babefcja?l=en&a=view] ) for details.
    With Solaris Cluster all nodes part of a cluster are considered active and can host resource groups. You can have any number of resource groups running, where a subset runs one one node, another subset on other nodes. The nodelist property of the resource group defines where it can run, the first node in the list is the preferred primary.
    You can even define resource group dependencies or affinities between the resource groups. Like you could define a negative affinity between qa-rg and prod-rg, such as if prod-rg needs to failover to node-b (since e.g. node-a died), it would offline qa-rg. Details for that kind of possibilities are described at [http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/doc/820-4682/ch14_resources_admin-35?l=en&a=view|http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/doc/820-4682/ch14_resources_admin-35?l=en&a=view].

    kindly help to resolve the issue.
    Regards,

    Thanks unable to resolve the issue.
    Please see below are my setup:
    Database tier:
    Sun cluster 3.2u3
    oracle EBS 12.1.3
    Two node sun cluster active node a1 and passive b1.
    Application Tier:
    App01
    I want to move concurrent manager from appo1 to database tier what I did below was my action plan.
    step-1 cloned application(app01) to DB on primary host and enabled only batch processing and other all disabled using same virtual host as we have same defined virtual host for database resource group LH (vhost)
    the problem is when I start CM it started but immediately stop when I cloned again with physical host
    CM is started and working fine but I need anyone to tell me how can i start manually and move to CM resource sun cluster.
    Question: Can I choose same LR host for application or I need to put physical name of the primary node during cloning process as I said same we are using LR host for DB tier or need to add new virtual host for CM.
    thanks

  • Sun Cluster & 6130/6140 thru switch with cross-connections not supported?

    Hi:
    I noticed that the 6140 does not support cross-connecting the 2 controllers to 2 switches for higher availability when using Sun Cluster:
    http://docs.sun.com/source/819-7497-10/chapter3.html
    Does anyone know why this restriction is there?
    Thanks!

    Since there was no real answer to the question in this forum, I cross posted this issue to the cluster forum.
    See http://forum.java.sun.com/thread.jspa?threadID=5261282&tstart=0 for the full thread.
    Basically, the restriction against cross-connections is no longer valid and the documentation should be updated to remove the note.
    This is all a good thing, because I had my 6140's wired into my sun cluster environment via the 'cross-connections' method diagramed in figure 3-4. :-)

  • Sun cluster, 6140 and 'cross-connections'

    This was brought up in the storage forum by somebody else, but the responses never answered the original question:
    In the 6140 setup document located at http://docs.sun.com/source/819-7497-11/chapter3.html#50589714_93886 it shows two different ways to cable a host to a 6140 via a SAN switch. figure 3-3 and 3-4
    It states that the setup in 3-4 is not supported in a sun cluster environment.
    The problem is that given the acive/passive nature of the 6140, the setup shown in 3-4 is the obvious one to use since it prevents one from having to force all of the luns over in the event of an hba port or switch failure.
    To make life more interesting, the 6140 setup doc does not make not of what version of sun cluster it is not supported on. Or what the bugid is, or any informationto know if the restriction is still valid.
    So, does this restriction still exist? If so, for what version of sun cluster? What version of solaris?

    Thanks for the clarification.
    As an aside, it would be nice if in the future, the documentation could contain a bit more information than just a simple note saying 'this is not supported'. A reference to a bugid or info doc would go a long way in helping folks determine if the restriction is still valid.

  • CRS over SUN cluster

    hello
    sorry i am a newbie in this area
    what is the advantages of installing oracle CRS then the database over sun cluster?
    is it needed ? since we already installed SUN cluster....
    also could it work if only we install oracle database 10gR2 on the sun cluster?
    what are the advantages and disadvantages if we never use SUN cluster,
    just install oracle CRS then install the oracle database
    sorry for the long question
    i really appreciate your help

    what is the advantages of installing oracle CRS then the database over sun cluster?
    is it needed ? since we already installed SUN cluster....1. CRS is required irrespective of whether or not your any vendor clusterware (such as Sun Cluster).
    2. Check this white paper from Sun Microsystems which attempts to high light the advantages of using Oracle RAC with Sun Cluster:
    http://www.sun.com/blueprints/0105/819-1466.pdf
    also could it work if only we install oracle database 10gR2 on the sun cluster?As indicated above, No. You would still need CRS.
    what are the advantages and disadvantages if we never use SUN cluster,See if the above mentioned document helps you with this question.
    just install oracle CRS then install the oracle databaseYou could very well do this.

    You can not install/configure a cluster just between non-global zones on the same physical node. The cluster software always needs to be installed in the global zone.
    What you can do is install Solaris Cluster just on one physical node (a single-node cluster) and then you can configure native non-global zones and configure resource groups to failover between those non-global zones on the same node.
    The resource group has a nodelist property, where you can configure node:zonea,node:zoneb - which will allow that RG to failover between zonea and zoneb on the same node.
    A good start if your purpose is just to have a learning/development/experiment environment.

  • Install of HA MaxDB in a Sun Cluster 3.2 environment

    Hi. I am installing SAP Content Server using MaxDB in a Sun Cluster 3.2 environment. According to the SUN doc, I must install the X_server as a scalable resource/service.  For a scalable resource, I have to make the disk available on both nodes of the cluster. I need to identify what are all the executables for the x_server so that I can make those mount points a NFS share.  From looking at the content of previous non-clustered installs, I am thinking I need to make the directories /sapdb/data and /sapdb/program NFS to isolate the x_server components.  Does anyone have experience with this setup ? I've placed a log with OSS but wanted to see if anyone else in the forum has done this before. Thanks for any input.

    Hello Dan,
    Please review the SAP Note No. 803452.
    X_server tool is the the part of the indepentent database software installation <independent_program_path>. Using NFS you could  set up the <independent_program_path> and <independent_data_path>  directories as share directories.
    Thank you and best regards, Natalia Khlopina

  • Upgrading Solaris OS (9 to 10)  in sun cluster 3.1 environment

    Hi all ,
    I have to upgrade the solaris OS 9 to 10 in Sun cluster 3.1.
    Sun Cluster 3.1
    data service - Netbackup 5.1
    Questions:
    1 .Best ways to upgrade the Solaris 9 to 10 and the Problems while upgrading the OS?
    2 .Sun Trunking support in Sun Cluster 3.1?
    Regards
    Ramana

    Hi Ramana
    We had used the live upgrade for upgrading Solaris 9 to 10 and its the best method for less downtime and risk but you have to follow the proper procedure as it is not the same for normal solaris. Live upgrade with sun cluster is different . you have to take into consideration about global devices and veritas volume manager. while creating new boot environment.
    Thanks/Regards

  • Discover System with a database cluster environment?

    Hi All
    We are thinking of getting the Discovery System and are looking into using the SQL Server 2005 Enterprise addition to allow us to use the Discovery System beyond the 180 day evaluation version of SQL Server that comes with the system.
    Does anyone know if the Discover System will work with a database cluster environment or does the database need to be installed on the Discovery System box?
    Sorry, I’m not a BASIS Administrator or DBA.
    Thanks!
    Mike Vondran

    Thanks Rick,
         Just to put our proposed usage of the Discovery System into context, our goal is to use it as a “proof of concept”/ “prototyping” system to use some of the features of the NetWeaver environment for various different business cases. We would like to use it for this purpose beyond the 180 day SQL Server evaluation addition constraint that comes with the Discovery System. We have existing SQL Server database clusters that we could leverage and wanted to see if it is possible to use them before purchasing an Enterprise Addition of SQL Server.
    We would NOT, and could not, be using it for any Production purposes.
    Let me know if this usage/environment makes sense.
    Thanks again for your help on this.

  • Is Veritas- or Sun Cluster needed for RAC in a Solaris Environment

    Is a Veritas- or Sun Cluster needed for RAC in a Solaris Environment?
    Does anyone know, when OCFS will be available for Solaris?

    You don't need Veritas Cluster File System, but until OCFS comes out for Solaris you need to think about backups. If you've not got a backup solution that can integrate with rman for an SBT device then backups become more tricky.
    If you use ASM then you can take a backup to a "cluster filesystem" (although ASM is raw partitions think of it as a cluster filesystem), that both nodes can see. BUT you then need to get these to tape somehow, unless you've got NetBackup et al. that support RMAN and can backup direct to tape you're more stuck.
    Too many people don't think about this. You could create an NFS mount and backup to this from the nodes.

    Hello,
    The Owned_Paths parameter are the paths (or mountpoints) the legato client will be able to backup from.
    To configure a legato client in the Networker console (and to be managed as a cluster client) you need to declare the in the Owned_Paths the paths you want to save.
    The savesets paths can be a directory under the Owned_Paths.
