Your Node1 VIP was migrated to Node2 due to a failure of some kind. The VIP does not always come back automatically:

Oracle 10gR2 RAC Installation in RedHat 5 Linux Using VMware.
Important points to install 10gR2 oracle RAC in linux5.
1.LINUX 5(Redhat 5) doesn't have /etc/sysconfig/rawdevices file. so we have to configure it.
2. Edit the /etc/redhat-release version to redhat-4 and and to invoke the runInstaller use the command
$runInstaller -ignoreSysPrereqs. //this will bypass the os check //
3. Next during clusterware installation at the end of root.sh in node 2 end with error message.So we have adjust the parameters in vipca and srvctl files.
4. vipca will fail to run. so we have to adjust some parameters and configure it manually.
refer the link, it will be useful to you to complete your installation.

Issues With CS4 Installation on Win 8?

I purchased CS4 (Web Premium) on disc several years ago, and it has been working fine on my Win XP computer ever since. The Adobe software has all the current updates, though I am using the CS4 version of Acrobat Pro (9.xx) rather than a more recent (free) version of Reader.,
Unfortunately, my computer's hard drive has fried, and I just purchased a new Windows 8 machine, which will arrive shortly. I am trying to determine:
1. Are there any general issues with CS4 installation on Win 8 that I should know about in advance?
2. Are there specific procedures (de-activation?) that I need to follow BEFORE attempting the installation on the new computer?
3. Other than specific user issues, are there problems with CS4 versus Windows 8 that I would not encounter with Windows 7.
I enhance photos and create web sites for a living, so the CS4 installation is mission-critical. I am hoping I did not make a mistake in ordering a Win 8 machine...
Thanks for any and all insights.

OK, fair enough. Maybe someone who has actually experienced this situation (CS4 --> Win 8 machine) might see this and offer some tips to avoid hassles. But I will try the install as soon as I get the new machine and post any ensuing issues/problems here.
As for de-activation of the previous installation on the XP machine, that is now impossible, as the hard-drive is fried. Unless there is a way to de-activate an installation some other way (without actually opening the programs). That said, I AM able to access files on the fried harddrive, so if there is a specific file that controls de-activation, I could access it on the old machine. However, I may not be able to actually RUN said file on that machine, but can copy it to a stick and move it elsewhere. So, any thoughts on deactivation of an installation on a deceased computer?

Clusterware installation 10.2.0.1

Hi!
I have trouble with clusterware installation.
I use two VM's with Centos 5.3
./vipca
/u01/app/oracle/product/10.2.0/crs/jdk/jre//bin/java: error while loading shared libraries: libpthread.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
Then I marked out this lines in vipca -->
#Remove this workaround when the bug 3937317 is fixed
# arch=`uname -m`
# if [ "$arch" = "i686" -o "$arch" = "ia64" ]
# then
# LD_ASSUME_KERNEL=2.4.19
# export LD_ASSUME_KERNEL
# fi
#End workaround
Now I got this problem:
./vipca
PRKH-1010 : Unable to communicate with CRS services.

[Communications Error(Native: prsr_initCLSS:[3])]

How do I fix my problem?

I get Exit code 15 issue on CS installation, should I use the CS6 Cleaner Tool?

Upon startup the CS6 Beta would pop up the error that the sniffer_gpu.exe stopped working, and would not open. I updated my graphics card drivers suspecting an OpenGL issue, but that didn't solve my problem.
I then uninstalled CS6 via the control panel, and attempted to reinstall hoping that would fix things, but 2% into the process the installation fails with the following error: Inconsistency in the installer database - please restart your computer and install again.
There is a link to an error summary file, which reads:
Exit Code: 15
-------------------------------------- Summary --------------------------------------
- 0 fatal error(s), 0 error(s), 0 warning(s)
I have restarted and retried the process several times after cleaning the registry with the same results.
Does the normal Creative Suite Cleaner work for this release? I haven't run it to find out as I have CS5.5 installed, and would rather not screw that one up as well.
Thanks for any help I can get.
Regards,
Joel

Hi,
We are tracking this issue at: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/978912?tstart=30.
I will lock this particular thread and forward your issue to the installation guys . They will check the link above for your information and get back to you there.
I suggest you copy your issue there and an intstallation expert can help determine if the cleanter tool is appropriate for your situation.
Please note whether it is a MAC or PC and what OS you are running.
Thanks and sorry you are having issues.

Silent Clusterware Installation Question

Hello -
I am attempting to run a silent installation of Clusterware. I am installing on Linux, and here is part of my script:
/oracle_software/11g_clusterware/clusterware/runInstaller -silent -responseFile \
$ORA_SCRIPTS/RAC_installation_pckg/crs.rsp
However, I want the above process to finish in the script before going to the part of my script that runs the root commands for the installation. Currrently, the call to the command itself completes, and then the script goes to the part to run the root commands, while the above installation is still running. How can I get it to only call the root commands after the Clusterware installation has completed? Can I make use of wait command in my Linux script?
Any help or insight is greatyly appreciated!
Thanks,
Mike

Clusterware Installation - Clock Skew and Packages Issue?

Hi,
Can someone share how to resolve installation issues in Clusterware10.2,
rac1 - VM Centos4.7, 512 RAM
rac2 - VM Centos4.7, 512 RAM
Both VMs are located on Windows XP physical box.
1. error while copying directory /u01/crs/oracle/product/10.2.0/crs with exclude file list 'null' to node 'rac2'. [PRKC-1002: All submitted commands did not execute successfully.
- when I check the log, time stamp in rac2 is 'x' in the future, where x = variable, 2 sec, 100 sec etc.
What is the allowable clock skew between 2 nodes?
2. My cluvfy output command failed due to not exact packages,
Ex. compat-gcc-7.3-2.96.128
actual package, using command ( rpm -qa compat-gcc*)
- compat-gcc-32-c++-3.2.3-47.3
compat-gcc-32-3.2.3-47.3
Can we proceed to installation with not exact package version?
3. During installation, all configuration assistant failed. Any idea why this is happening? My cluvfy output is shown below.
Thanks..

System requirement failed for 'crs'
Pre-check for cluster services setup was unsuccessful on all the nodes.

Hi
answer q1
This error because your second node time was greater than node one, this is causing OUI failed in running tar command on second node.
you need to set node 2 time slighter less or equal to node 1 time
answer q2
yes we can proceed installation with package greater or equal than required
answer q3
it seems your VMs memory allocation were to small (512MB). I don't think that would be enough to installing rac.
and try to install required packages

11i Clusterware installation issue

Hello,
I'm having issue trying to install the 11i clusterware on OEL 5 with firewire. When I tried to install the clusterware via OUI, I ketp getting the following errors: ("The following node names are invalid, as they do not resolve to a valid IP address: linux1-vip). That's my virtual address. Everything appears to be in order, the runcluvfy.sh returned no errors. ssh are configured correctly, asm etc...are in place. I what I'm missing here?
Thanks,
Keo

Correction, I meant 11g...
Yes, everything is there in the /etc/hosts file. I read some where that I might need a NDS server according to Note:264847.1 "How to Configure Virtual IPs for 10g RAC".
But my question is that why would OUI install process care about vip at this point. VIPCA won't come into play until root.sh is called which later down the install process.

I am hoping someone could shed some light on an issue I appear to have regarding the installation of 11gR2 Clusterware.   The main issue is that I have a host-vip.subdomain that fails to startup on installation. This is my 3rd cluster in my environment; the other 2 installed/configured ..fine.   This install fails because the host-vip.subdomain does not resolve with its own GNS service.
Further investigation lead me down a path involving my other clusters.   I found in my DNS server /var/log/messages file that the host-vip.subdomain was trying to resolve to host-vip.subdmain.subdomain_clust1 on IP xx.xxx.130.20.   However, this cluster's GNS service is listening on xx.xxx.130.22
More detail on the environment:
I currently have in production, two 2-node clusters.   Not RAC..just 2-node linux clusters; On the production clusters, I do have a single-instance database running in a 'warm failover' configuration.   I do use SCAN to access each of the database on their respective clusters.
I am using GNS and DHCP (obviously) to generate the VIPs for each cluster.    Cluster1 GNS IP - xx.xxx.130.20 ; Cluster2 GNS IP xx.xxx.130.21.   Both are configured in DNS and resolve the SCAN address to each of the VIPs on that server.
When testing SCAN access to the database, I noticed that a tnsping DB1 - which uses SCAN-name1.subdomain1 connects fine.   Also, tnsping to DB2 using SCAN-name2.subdomain2 connects fine as well.
However, the weird part is that if I use each others subdomain..they still connect ...ie....tnsping DB1 using SCAN-name1.subdomain2 ...still connects to DB1.. albeit , it takes about 10x longer to get a response.
This has lead me to the idea that since GNS is basically a mDNS service, broadcasting on the subnet .130...could it be possible that ANY GNS service on that subnet could resolve a name lookup request for any other GNS on the same subnet , and during installation of a new server, cause a new VIP to go to the wrong GNS service ?
So, my question is this : Is there any requirement I may have missed that state multiple Clusters using GNS / SCAN MUST BE on different subnets, as to not interfere with each other's lookup requests ?
Any info would be helpful

Was able to override the multicast address thru the command line and have just P1 work with
the following overrides.
-Dtangosol.coherence.clusteraddress=P1Cluster -Dtangosol.coherence.clusterport=11111
where p1Cluster=224.2.1.99 (say)

Strange issue during Clustware installation !!

Hello everyone !!
I have come across a very strange problem.. During CRS installation when i come to Cluster configuration it does not show me any public/private/virtual interface name , on top of it ..Add/delete/edit buttons are disabled..
What could be the reason ? I am thinking to something to do with IP address...
Below is the hosts file.. (though 10 network segment is private bt i have done a configuration which utlizes 10 segment in HP-UX).
Environment is : Oracle 10g With Clusterware 10g R2
OS : AIX 5.3
Any suggestions please ?

Hosts file looks like..

Hi,
it looks like, that your "shared device" you are using is not really shared.
The second node does "create an ASM diskgroup" and create OCR and Voting disks. If this indeed would be a shared device, he should have recognized, that your disk is shared.
So as a result your VMware configuration must be wrong, and the disk you presented as shared disk is not really shared.
Which VMWare version did you use? It will not work correctly with the workstation or player edition, since shared disks are only really working with the server version.
If you indeed using the server, could you paste your vm configurations?
Furthermore I recommend using Virtual Box. There is a nice how-to:

The following nodes do not appear to be reachable
rac1-vip
rac2-vip
Please check that nodes in the list are up and reachable
while i can ping rac1-vip.beaconhouse.edu.pk and rac2-vip.beaconhouse.edu.pk from both nodes and also the underlying IPs of these names.
