Weird - can connect to both instances - but not to main SID

As a newbie to RAC I got stuck...
after installation of grid, db SW and a sample DB "QRC" with dbca I can connect to both instances QRC1 and QRC2,
but not to QRC - here sqlplus tells me "connected to an idle instance"
What did I mix up??

The Oracle System ID (SID) is used to uniquely identify a particular database on a system. For this reason, one cannot have more than one database with the same SID on a host.
When using RAC, all instances belonging to the same database must have unique SID's even using different hosts.
So, you must set ORACLE_SID to QRC1 where Instance 1 is running or QRC2 where Instance 2 is running.
To know where instance number is running you can get this info following steps below:
$GRID_HOME/bin/olsnodes -n
lnxora01 1
lnxora02 2In example above all instance created by DBCA on lnxora01 will have prefix 1 (e.g db QRC will have QRC1) and on lnxora02 will have prefix 2. (it's not a rule, because I can set manually the number of instance as I wish)
Or exists another way to find it: (on local node)
ps -ef |grep pmon
ora_pmon_QRC1 So, to connect just set right ORACLE_SID
eg:
export ORACLE_SID=QRC1

Can connect to wireless router but not to the internet

Please Help, I have a WRT150N and I can connect to my wireless router by it will not connect to the internet from there, even though the internet, wireless, and security lights are lit up. If I plug a cord into the back of the router and then into my computer, I can connect to the internet, but once I disconnect the cable, I can still find and connect to my wireless router, but it will not connect to the internet from here. Under access it says "Local Only", I have the security type set to "Shared" under the security properties, and set to "WEP" with WEP key #1 entered. I have spent about 4 hours working on this problem now and could really use some help. Thanks.

Type ipconfig /all in command prompt(cmd.exe) to see whether it displays valid and correct IP, netmask, gateway and DNS info. If not, take a look on these cannot connect to wireless network problem and using ping to troubleshoot network problem articles to get more ideas. Hope it helps..

TNS error ORA-12154 : can connect to one server but not to another.

Hello,
I have a Forms 6.0 application running on a Solaris box. It connects
fine to an Oracle 9.0 server but fails with ORA-12154 when trying to
connect to Oracle 10g running on a different server.
'sqlplus' can connect fine to both servers .
'tnsping'result is succesful from the Solaris client to both servers.

As you can see, I have tried adding an alias for the default domain
name suffix '.qonnectis.com' in the tnsnames.ora files on the solaris
client and on the new 10g server.
Just to add to the fun, the 'new' server running Ora 10g CANNOT connect
to the old server running Ora 9:
sqlplus user/pass@nn_qq3
sqlplus user/pass@nn_qq3.qonnectis.com both fail.
While the old 9.0 server CAN connect to the new 10g one:
sqlplus user/[email protected] succeeds.
Sorry this is such a mess. TBH I find this whole area extremely
confusing.
All suggestions welcome. Unfortunately I am away on holiday next week
but will follow up any leads when I get back.
thanks!

I can connect iPod to charger, but not computer? No symbols or anything.

I have a huge problem with my video iPod. I can connect it to the charger, no problem. But when it comes to connect it to my PC, it just will not read it at all. Usually it dignifies being connected by showing the "do not disconnect" symbol. But now it just will not read at all and shows no other symbols on the iPod. I have tried everything I can on both the PC and iPod but nothing works.
Please help, me being the idiot I am, I have important uni files on the iPod that I need asap.

updated ipad just after and now it will not do anything and can't get it to appear in itunes.
Might need to restart or reinstall the AMDS.

Why can't I connect to my shared computers for file sharing;I have 3 Macs and I can connect the other 2 but not my new Macbook air.

I have a black Macbook 4,1 running 10.7.5, an iMac 11,3 running 10.7.5 and a new Macbook Air 6,2 running 10.9.5., I have file sharing turned on on all machines. All machines are visible and I can connect all machines except for the Macbook Air. The Macbook air can see the other 2 Macs but does not connect to either of them or even give me the option to connect as a guest or a registered user. The other Macs connect to the Macbook Air but it will not connect with them. Any help is appreciated. Thank You.

Can connect on one Mac but not other Mac, PC

I just moved and I had no problem connecting my Powerbook,iMac, and PC with my Airport Express in my last house. I have the same cable provider (Charter) and can connect my Powerbook in my new house. However, I have a iMac too with an Airport card and my girlfriend has a PC and both can't connect to the AE. They both see it but can't connect to the internet. I had no problem in my last house with any of the 3. Can anyone help? thanks

I don't mean to hijack, but I have very similar problems. My AE is flashing amber, but my 15"PB is online no problem. My roommates both have pcs, and neither can get internet from the AE, but they can connect and authenticate the WEP. When I choose to distribute using 192... (or the other number schemes) the internet stops for everyone, including my PB and the AE assigns an ip of 192.168.1.1 to itself (when working for PB:169:254:128:58). I am in San Diego, CA using Warner (I believe just a DHCP provider, no special instructions when they installed it 3 days ago)
Thanks for any help, and hope this helps chris too

IPhone 4 & iPod Touch can connect to Time Capsule, but not Internet

My family and I have an iPhone 4, iPhone 3G & iPod Touch. Our WiFi comes from a Time Capsule. My Macbook Pro can connect to the WiFi and get online, but the iPod & iPhones can only connect to the Wifi, not actually get online.
We some issues with our ISP last week, which took some time and some messing with the settings on Time Capsule to resolve. At one point, Airport Utility asked me if I'd like to switch to bridge mode...I'm not sure if that ever happened or not, to be honest, and don't know how to see if I'm in bridge mode or not (or even what that means, really).
With my iPhone 4, I can successfully connect to the wireless network, but the icon in the top left of the screen stays on 3G (unless my service drops in my house, in which case it shows the WiFi icon but won't let me connect via Safari or any other apps).
With the iPhone 3G, it does connect, but doesn't ever show the WiFi icon.
With the iPod, it says it connects, but doesn't ever show the WiFi icon. I get the error "Safari cannot open the page. The error was: Operation coudl not be completed. Invalid argument."
Does anyone have any idea what I could do to resolve this?

I fixed this on my own. How did I do it?
1. Reset Time Capsule to factory settings (via Airport Utility)
2. Renamed my WiFi network
3. Restarted my router
Everything's fixed. I've seen this problem all over the Web but no solutions, so hopefully this will help someone.

My PC is connected to my airport by Ethernet. I can connect to the network, but not the internet. My wireless devices can access the internet

My PC is connected to AirPort Extreme by ethernet, I can access the network, but not the internet. The wireless devices on the extreme can access the internet

Hey DM,
Is the Wireless(WL) router signal coming through the wired-router?
My ISP requires that my Wireless Router is identified from their end. I use AirPort Express, so they need its MAC address from the router. Without that, my network will show up, but my ISP doesn't recognize it and won't allow it to route he internet. I don't know your exact situation though.
Can other wireless computers access the internet? If they can through the WL router, then it might be the MacBook. If they can't, then you might want to contact your ISP and ask if they can see your wireless router?
Let us know.

Can connect to Airport Express but not to the internet

Please help
My Airport Express shows the solid green light. I am also able to connect to it and use AirTunes on my HiFi.
However I cant connect to the internet. If I plug in my laptop to the router directly the internet works fine. So it is not a router problem.
Any idea?

After following your instruction, I am not able to connect to the airport express anymore. I can still see the network but it is somehow unable to read the IP address.
When I try to get to the Airport utility it shows the base station but do not let me get into the configuration and shows an error message -4.
The only option I have then is to reset the AE

Can connect to wireless network but not to internet

Ok, so I bought a new AEBS and have finally managed to get it set up with my cable modem, and with security on so that the light is green, and not amber... the only problem now is that although I can connect to the wireless network that i have created using the base station, I cannot connect to the internet through it using my MacBook.
I don't have problem connecting my iMac to the net wirelessly using the base unit so am confused.
Anyone got any ideas?

It is described on Page 51 of "Designing AirPort Extreme 802.11n Networks" (http://manuals.info.apple.com/en/DesigningAirPortExtreme802.11nNetworks.pdf).

Can connect to Mac users, but not Windows.

I have been able to connect to other Mac users signed onto AIM accounts in iChat, but not Windows users signed onto AIM. Help with this problem would be greatly appreciated, as I am at college and away from all my loved ones, and desperately want to chat with them.

Hi,
I am sorry that only 2 hours and 15 minutes left you disappointed.
Some things to consider.
1) they have to be on XP.
2) they have to be using AIM 5.9 or Trillian Pro
3) if they use AIM 5.9 they have to Tune the Camera and Mic to the Application. See message 570 in that link (Access to these preferences in in the My AIM menu now or use F3)
4) Whichever App they use it has to be Enabled through the XP firewall. IF at Service Pack 2 they need these instructions an earlier version of XP has to have the Firewall disabled.
Longer version http://www.ralphjohnsuk.dsl.pipex.com/page12.html
Detailed version
http://www.mvldesign.com/videoconferencetutorial.html
The ports that iChat uses have to be opened at your end although it sounds like they are.
The port for AIM/Trillian have to opened in their modem at their end.

Both can connect to test sites but not videochat with each other

I am using a 2GHz PPC iMac on 10.4.6 with external iSight. I can see the Apple ad from one of the test sites. My wife is using a G4 PowerBook running the latest Panther OS with external iSight. She is in a hotel but can also see the Apple ad from the test site. When she was home, we could videochat over Bonjour.
But, while she is in the hotel out of town, we couldn't videochat with each other. Whether one initiated or the other did, we both get the "XXX failed to respond" message even though we obviously did accept the videocall.
If we both can videochat with the test sites, how come we cannot videochat with each other?
Given the above, I hope some experts can rule out a bunch of stuff and let me know the finite (and small) set of potential reasons affecting our situation so that I can work on resolving this efficiently.
What could be the likely problem?
On my side, I use an Apple AEBS that uses DHCP and NAT but my iMac is manually set to 10.0.1.201. I have set the ports in Firewall but even when I turned off Firewall it did not work.
Any help is much appreciated.

Hi Heng-Yee Yong,
The test sites are most likely set to have the ports open by UPnP which does not use NAT.
If you modem is routing and is using Port Forwarding and the Airport is as well then you have two lots of NAT going on at your end.
I would Open Airport Admin Utilty (Applications/Utilities) and log on to the Airport
Go to the Network tab.
Deselect Distributing Addresses which wll trun off NAT in the Airport and make it a Wireless access device.
This means your computer will have to take an IP form the Modem.
This may not be rquired if the modem id is Bridge mode itself as this measn it is not routing and all port will be open without the use of NAT.
This App can help identify if NAT is a problem
http://bleu.west.spy.net/~dustin/projects/natcheck.xtp
Or at least whether you have Consistent NAT or not.

ARD3.1, can connect on local net, but not out to home over internet

I'm stumped on this one,
Checked my Port Forwarding on Router (Netgear R614)
checked my firewall settings, all ports properly forwarded
both client and admin are running ARD 3.1
if I'm on the local network, the admin will connect
to the client either through Bonjour or Local Network.
But if you try and connect via Internet WEb address,
as published on whatismyip.com, an error stating that it cannot
connect is given.
any help much appreciated.

I too am having this same problem. Host computer is running ARD 3.1, with verizon dsl, no firewall, no router. Client computer is running ARC 3.1 with verizon dsl, no firewall, no router. It worked at home when both computers were on the same intranet, but now that they are on the internet, I can not get a connection.
When I initiate observe or control, I get "Connecting to "pool-72-82-XXX-XXX.cmdnnj.east.verizon.net". Then it times out with "connection failed to...". I tried pinging the address and get a return. Not sure what to do. If I still have to enable port forwarding or opening ports, I have found instructions in other posts. But I figured since I did not have a firewall or router active, at least during the test phase, I shouldn't need to open any ports. Any guidance would be appreciated. Sorry to step on the OP, but a question was posed to him and he did not reply yet.

Can connect to iTunes radio, but not to internet and email

I connect to the internet with the Airport Extreme card in my iMac, via a Linksys wireless router, connected to a Motorola cable modem. I have to unplug and re-plug in the modem several times a day, because I can't get online with Safari, nor can I get/send email. What's weird is that I have a full signal on the Airport, and the Status pane in Network prefs says, "You are connected to the Internet via Airport." Also, I am often listening to an iTunes radio station without interruption when this happens. Just today, I left iTunes radio playing while I went a away for a couple hours (for the cat, dontcha know). When I got back, the radio was still going, but I couldn't get online.
I have contacted my ISP, and nothing seems to be wrong from their end. Network diagnostics cannot fix the problem. I am in a rural area with no neighbors that would have any networks interfering, and my modem and router are away from the TV and other electronics.
Any ideas? Should I get an Airport base station? Are there any settings on the Mac which would keep the internet connected? My location is et to automatic.

if you are able to go online with wired connection ..... access router setup page .... configure the wireless settings .... such as SSID & wireless security ....
Click save settings ... on the wireless computers .... try to connect to the wireless network ... if you are using security make sure to use correct key ....
See if it works ....

Weird - can connect to both instances - but not to main SID
