VIP for Oracle 10g R2 RAC

Hi All,
I have a doubt, We are installing 10g R2 2-node RAC on RHEL4 U4. Can we have same IP address for VIP for both the nodes?
Thanks,
Praveen.

Thanks for the response..
Ok, i'll have unique IP addresses for VIP.
Thanks
Praveen

1.) For some reason I cannot get the mappings to work correctly, I have rebooted the server and tried a number of different changes in the rules script. But for the life of me I cannot get it work.
I noticed when I rebooted the server that it failed to execute the iscsidev. When I manually run the shell script with a parameter it produces output
Can anyone help me to get this up and running?
2.) My QNAP Nas doesnt seem to publish iSCSI targets to only one NIC. I think this is down to the firmware/feature not being available. When I discover targets I get the following

Suitable Processor for Oracle 10g

Hi All ,
Currently, Our Oracle 10g with RAC (Real Application Cluster) is running in the Server Sun Fire V240 (SUNW,UltraSPARC-IIIi) with 4GB of RAM.
We have an idea to upgrade the processor. Please give me your suggestion, which processor is best for Oracle 10G with RAC.
I am awaiting for your response.
Regards,
R. Rajesh Kannan.

It would depend on the load. How many people using it, and what are they all doing.

Enable autoarchiving for Oracle 10g RAC db

Hello
What are the steps to enable autoarchiving for Oracle 10g cluster database?
It is currentrly in noarchivelog mode.
Thank you,
Yelena

Hi.
I think that this has been improved in 10g, so that we can do an exclusive mount on any database in a RAC without setting cluster_database to false. Also the parameter log_archive_start has been depreciated so the steps is simply (assuming that you by default wants to use db_recovery_file_dest to store archived redo logs)
1) Shutdown immediate (instance 1)
2) Startup mount
3) Alter database archivelog
4) Alter database open
Repeat this sequence for all nodes in the RAC.
And the best is to leave the log_archive_format by it's default value, to ensure that the incarnation of the database is represented in the archive log name.
(On 10g, backupsets and archivelogs are usable beyond different reincarnation of a database, so there is a good change that S% or s% will repeat itself after an open resetlogs).
Hopes this might help you.
Good Luck

also before you do what is suggested on the url posted by Mufalani,
it seems that you should do the following:
Check existence of udev raw mapping rule file /etc/udev/rules.d/60-raw.rules
On RH/EL5, udev raw mapping rule file /etc/udev/rules.d/60-raw.rules should exist by default as part of the util-linux package, for example:
# ls /etc/udev/rules.d/60-raw.rules
/etc/udev/rules.d/60-raw.rulesCreate a custom udev raw mapping rule file, /etc/udev/rules.d/61-oracleraw.rules say, for example:
# touch /etc/udev/rules.d/61-oracleraw.rules3b. Add udev raw binding rules to /etc/udev/rules.d/61-oracleraw.rules file
Add the udev raw binding rules to the /etc/udev/rules.d/61-oracleraw.rules file, for example:
# cat /etc/udev/rules.d/61-oracleraw.rules

How to upgade Oracle from 9.2 on SUN to Oracle 10g R2 RAC on Oracle EL4

Hi all,
I have production database Oracle 9i EE Release 9.2.0.5.0 - 64bit on SunOS 5.9 cca 100GB. I would like to upgrade Oracle 10g Relase2 RAC with 2 nodes on Oracle Enterprise Linux. Database availability is 24x7 and system breakdown must be minimal. Upgrade could be done in several independent steps. What is the best form of upgrade realisation?
Thx for some idea
Libor Veverka
[email protected]

My 2 cents:
1. de-RAC 9i on solaris
2. upgrade to 10g on solaris (why? take advantage of datapump, much faster than exp/imp)

Error while creating datasource userdsn for oracle 10g Errorcode (998)

while creating datasource userdsn for oracle 10g i am getting error "The setup routines for the oracle in OraDb10g_home1 odbc driver could not be loaded due to system error code 998" please give reply soon

Thanks for your reply , Steve.
I noticed that there is a default datasouce on the EM with the following parameters:
<data-source
          class="com.evermind.sql.DriverManagerDataSource"
          name="OracleDS"
          location="jdbc/OracleCoreDS"
          xa-location="jdbc/xa/OracleXADS"
          ejb-location="jdbc/OracleDS"
          connection-driver="oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver"
          username="scott"
          password="->pwForScott"
          url="jdbc:oracle:thin:@localhost:1521:oracle"
          inactivity-timeout="30"
     />
The location and xa-location attributes that I use for my "test" data source are the same as the default one. So, could this be the issue?
What should be the values for location and xa-location attributes from my "test" data source?
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Shyam

During the installation of grid infra(cluster) for Oracle 11.2 RAC one.

Good Day All, and thanks in advance…
During the installation of grid infrastructure(cluster) for Oracle 11.2 RAC One Node on AIX6.1 ( PROD) , ASM used. I am getting below errors when executing ./root.sh
Upon investigation ,I managed to get note: 1068212.1 from the support oracle site ( see below for details) . I might be hitting Unpublished bug 8670579. I also logged Severity 2 SR with Oracle support to get the bug/patch fix and no one has attended the call.
This might be configuration issue or otherwise , if you have experienced the same issue please assist ? ( if you need more logfiles please feel free to request)….
I ran the Cluster Verify Check – all passed.
Many Thanks

Hi,
We are also trying to install 11.2.0.2 Grid infrastructure for Oracle RAC One Node on AIX 6.1. We did a POC in our lab environment and after much struggle got that working. Now we are building 4 clusters in the production environment and the first cluster installation failed while running root.sh on node2. We already have a Sev1 ticket open with Oracle Support but have not heard anything.
Here is root.sh output from node2. The two node names are p01dou416 and p01dou417.
CRS-4402: The CSS daemon was started in exclusive mode but found an active CSS daemon on node p01dou416, number 1, and is terminating
An active cluster was found during exclusive startup, restarting to join the cluster

Oracle gateway for Oracle 10g DB on Windows 64 bit server

Is there any place that I can find Oracle dateway for Oracle 10g DB on Windows 64 bit server? I can only find Gateway for Oracle 11g on Windows 32 bit server. Please help me to identify this. Thanks.

yingkuan:
Thanks a lot. The link tells the details. It seems that Oracle has not release Gateway for Oracle database 10.2.0.x on Windows 64 bit server. Probably they don't do it.
So under this circumstance, if I want to install Gateway (32 bit) on Oracle 10.2.0.3 DB on Windows 64 bit server for Teradata, I probably have to install Gateway software in another Oracle Home, then configure it right. Please give more advice on this. 32 bit Gateway will work for 64 bit database?

Long-term retention backup strategy for Oracle 10g

Hello,
I need design a Archivelog, Level 0 and Level 1 long-term retention backup strategy for Oracle 10g, It must be based in Rman with tapes.
¿Somebody could tell me what it's the best option to configure long-term retention backups in Oracle?, "CONFIGURE RETENTION POLICY TO RECOVERY WINDOW OF 1825 DAYS;" It's posibble ?
Regards and thanks in advance

Hello;
RECOVERY WINDOW is an integer so yes its possible. Does it make sense?
Later My bad, this is Oracle 11 only ( the gavinsoorma link ) . Getting harder and harder to think about 10. Don't think I would use RECOVERY WINDOW.
I would let the tape backup system handle the retention of your rman backups.
Using crosscheck and delete expired commands you can keep the catalog current with the available backups on tape.

Keeping a Long-Term Backup: Example

http://web.njit.edu/info/oracle/DOC/backup.102/b14191/advmaint005.htm
Oracle 11
If you want to keep 5 years worth of backups I might just use KEEP specific date using the UNTIL TIME clause :
keep until time 'sysdate+1825'More info :
RMAN KEEP FOREVER, KEEP UNTIL TIME and FORCE commands

Note 830576 - Parameter recommendations for Oracle 10g

hi all DBA experts.
I am not good familiar with Oracle database while i read a Note 830576 - Parameter recommendations for Oracle 10g. in which SAP General Recommendation:
You should delete obsolete initialization parameters from the profile.
To determine which obsolete parameters are currently set, proceed as follows:
SQL> SELECT NAME FROM V$OBSOLETE_PARAMETER WHERE ISSPECIFIED = 'TRUE';
when i execute above command then result is no rows selected
while there are many parameters in above SAP Note which are already obsolete and not set in initSID.ora file.
for exp. the parameter OPTIMIZER_INDEX_COST_ADJ is showing
#### OPTIMIZER MODE
#optimizer_index_cost_adj = 10
as you know that this parameter is very important regarding System Performance.
now please guide me . I have to set these parameter or no need while there is not showing any parameters against obsolete command.
waiting you valuable reply.
Regards,

hi both,
thanks for knowledge sharing with me other SDN users,
Dear Orkun,
Ok. At this stage, I can recommend you that apply what they have suggested,
in the message. So, you already did a part of it by configuring
Oracle parameters, already.

could not locate the setup or translator libraryThe symptom described is typical of an incorrect system env PATH setting (used by the data source admin tool), compared to that of the Oracle Home (specifically, path $OH/bin). The odbc driver config routine will search directories listed in PATH variable for necessary libraries (Client dll's). If some library fails to load (from e.g. oraoci*.dll or oraclient10.dll) it will probably error out, as in your case.
Are you creating the odbc dsn on the databse server host or on some other machine? I.e. are you using the db host as a client or not?
