What distro linux is supported from ORACLE RAC?

Hi,
what distro linux is supported from ORACLE RAC?
Debian, Red Hat Enterprise, Suse, CentOS?
Thank you.
AV

Which version of RAC?
Also, what kind of processors will you be using?
The easiest way to find out what you need is on the 'Certify' tab on Metalink. It can tell you exactly what you need to know with only a few clicks of the mouse.

  • What exactly is a Livecache and how different is it from Oracle RAC?

    What exactly is Livecache and how different is it from Oracle RAC since livecache is used for high availability? and should Livecahe be used only with MAXDB?

    As per my knowledge this both are completly different concepts and have different use.
    SAP Livecache is used in SAP SCM/APO to increase speed of processing by using main memeory
    Whereas Oracle RAC is used for HA and scalability.

  • FDM is not supported on Oracle RAC?  Why not?

    [http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E12825_01/epm.111/fdm_11113_readme.pdf|http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E12825_01/epm.111/fdm_11113_readme.pdf] We are in the process of implementing Oracle Hyperion Financial Data Quality Management (FDM) version 11.1.1.3 as part of our Hyperion Essbase BI environment. I read over the documentation prior to building the databases, but apparently I missed an important bit of information. It seems that FDM is not supported on Oracle RAC. I just noticed this under in the "Known Issues" section of the FDM 11.1.1.3 release notes, and that was only one sentence. The release notes do not explain why this is the case.
    - Does anyone know why FDM release 11.1.1.3 is not supported for Oracle RAC?
    - Has this always been the case?
    - Can a single node database, running on an Oracle 10.2.0.4 two node RAC environment, be used instead of building a separate, stand-alone database?
    Link to readme document. The reference to RAC support, or non-support, is on page 6:

  • Linux set up for Oracle RAC (real application cluster)

    Hi Guys,
    I m wrkig as Oracle DBA.
    Very curious to know the initials for RAC set up at OS level.
    Can anyone provide his/her usefull guidelines for the same.
    Although I know all steps at OS level also, but didn't did the set up of before Oracle RAC installation.
    Want to increase knowlegde on like:
    --how we sahre storage.
    --how we set up network (private & virtual IP) and how can check working of NIC's.
    --and other required things.
    Will appreciate ur help and if someone want to share his/her personal experience.
    Thx in advance.

    Want to increase knowlegde on like:Here are very basic answers to very complex questions - from a pure Linux perspective running an Open Source stack and untainted kernel.
    --how we sahre storage.Using multipath - this should ship with most 2.6 kernels. The kernel sees the shared storage LUNs as scsi devices - multipath does the rest. (and ASM can directly use a multipath device).
    On a physical layer. Typical setup (on a RAC node) is using a HBA PCI card that runs fibre connections into a SAN switch. You can also use Infiniband (IB) as the I/O layer (as Oracle's Exadata database machine does). In this case the servers will use HCA PCI cards, run IB cables into the switch, and so will the storage array run an IB cable into the switch.
    --how we set up network (private & virtual IP) and how can check working of NIC's.Depends on the achitecture choses as Interconnect. Typical choices are GigE or Infiniband (IB). Oracle's Exadata database machine (RAC) uses IB as already mentioned. (and is also our preferred Interconnect technology)
    With IB you would use the OFED driver stack and have a range of ib.. commands available. These can be used to configure IP over IB (IPoIB) for use as an IP-based Interconnect, bonding of NICs, check a port's status, and so on.
    --and other required things.As both Daniel and Hans indicated.. you are asking quite complex questions that require a manual (if not several) to be written in response. So best to refer to the manuals and OTN material available.
    Also, if you and your company are serious about using RAC, then you should make use of Oracle's RAC Assurance group to assist you. They will provide you with starter kit information for the o/s selected. They will check every single configuration parameter afterwards and deliver a comprehensive report on what's wrong, what works and what doesn't. With recommended changes that need to be done.

  • Oracle Upgrade from Oracle RAC 9.2.0.6 to Oracle 10.2.0.4

    Hi All,
    Currently, we are running 4 node Oracle RAC environment with below mentioned configuration.
    OS: Sun Solaris 5.9
    Hardware: Sun E2900
    Oracle Version: 9.2.0.6
    Veritas Cluster Server: 4.1
    We want to upgrade Oracle version to 10g, and currently analyzing the options to perform this. The current database size is 1TB appx and we want to spend minimum application shutdown time running on this database.
    As part of upgrade, we also need to upgrade Veritas Cluster Server from 4.1 to 5.1 to support Oracle 10g. It would be great help,, if someone can pass some guideline to perform this task.
    We are currently thinking about piecemeal approach, where we can upgrade each node individually and then put them back to cluster. There are some complexities involved, and its really high risk approach.
    Thanks a lot in advance for help
    Regards,
    Manoj

    Orcale 10g RAC requires you to install Oracle Clusterware. Oracle Supports running it along side a 3rd party clustering software. Not sure why you're so anxious to upgrade Veritas Clusterware when it will be trivial on the 10g db hosts.

  • Linux distributions supported on Oracle 8i and 9i

    Hello,
    Can you please provide me with the web page which compiles certification information on Linux distributions for 8i and 9i, I cannot seem to find a page which does such a compilation.
    Also, this is to the responder - do you work for Oracle?
    Thanks in advance.

    Yeah I saw that but...
    Which version of Oracle can I install?
    I have RH 9.0 basic version ($30.00 from best buy).
    I am interested in learning Oracle with Linux for my own personal use at home.
    ie
    I used to have Oracle Personal 8i on my Windows 98 SE machine. Now I see Oracle Server for RH AS 9.0 (or something) and no Oracle 9i or 8i for RH 9.0 most basic edition.
    Sorry... Linux begginner and I forgot my version of RH 9.0.
    I am a C++ developer on Windows and use the OCI 7 and 8 wih MSVC 6.0 (at work). I would like to use same OCI wrapper with C at home on Linux.
    Thanks

  • Instant client support for oracle rac ?

    My questions is does instant client support rac ?
    example : tnsnames.ora
    RAC =
    (DESCRIPTION =
    (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = DB1-VIP)(PORT = 1521))
    (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = DB2-VIP)(PORT = 1521))
    (LOAD_BALANCE = yes)
    (CONNECT_DATA =
    (SERVER = DEDICATED)
    (SERVICE_NAME = RAC)
    (FAILOVER_MODE =
    (TYPE = SELECT)
    (METHOD = BASIC)
    (RETRIES = 180)
    (DELAY = 5)
    )

    If you are asking if Instant Client can connect to a RAC cluster, the answer is yes. There is no functional difference between a full client and Instant Client. I hope that helps!

  • Oracle RAC one node

    why Oracle introduced Oracle RAC one node in 11gR2?
    I have gone through oracle documents on oracle rac one node, but i couldn't find much added advantage than instance failover. We have already some technologies like datagaurd and some third party softwares for instance failover.
    Then why oracle introduced this RAC one node in the new release i.e 11gR2?
    What exactly oracle wants to provide from oracle RAC one node?
    Thanks...
    Bharath

    Why RAC one node?
    Oracle RAC one node is a single instance of Oracle RAC that runs on the node in a cluster. The benefit of the RAC one node option is that it allows you to consolidate many databases into one cluster without a lot of overhead, while also providing high availbilty benefits of failover protection, as well as for Online rolling patch application and rolling upgrades for the Oracle clusterware.
    Another aspect of RAC one node allows you to limit th CPU utilization of individual database instances within the cluster through a feature called resource manager instance caging, which gives you the ability to dynamilcally change the limit as required.
    Furhtermore , with RAC one node there is no limitation for server scalabilty such that if applications outgrow the current resources than a single node can supply, you can then upgrade the applications online to Oracle RAC.
    In tthe event that the node which is runnig Oracle RAc one node becomes saturated and out of resources, you can migrate the instance to another node in the cluster using Oracle rac one node and another new utilty called OMOTION feature.OMOTION feature for Oracle RAC 11g R2 rac allows you to migrate a running instance to another server without downtime or distrubtion in service for your enviornment.
    Hope you're understand.

  • BusinessObjects Metadata Repository and Oracle RAC

    What are the implications of having the BusinessObjects Metadata Repository reside in an Oracle RAC Database?  Is it doable?

    Yes, you can install BO repository on Oracle RA.Cluster.
    Make Sure with support is Oracle RAC 11g R2 is feasible or not. Till 11G R1 it was working fine.

  • Weblogic 9.2/10.3 Connecting to Oracle RAC

    What is the best way to connect to Oracle RAC from Weblogic? I am looking to do load balancing and no XA transaction. According to the Weblogic documentation, the recommended approach is to use multipool with each pool pointing to a specific listener. It is also recommended that the remote listner on Oracle Net Service. However, according to the Oracle RAC doc, it is recommended that we perform both client side and server side load balancing. So here is the question:
    To connect to Weblogic from Oracle RAC doing load balancing and no XA, what is the best approach? Multipool or a single pool with FCF enabled?

    I think driver level load balancing in such configuration has not been tested by weblogic and not guaranteed to work. There may be other implications.(which I am not aware :) )
    The JDBC forum can be helpful :- WebLogic Server - JDBC

  • Oracle Rac on Solaris Containers

    We are planning to implement Oracle 11G RAC on Solaris 10 using non-global zone. RAC is now officially certified on Solaris containers.
    But we are still investigating whether zone Cluster (Using Solaris Cluster) is the prerequisite to have Oracle RAC on Solaris non-global zone.
    This oracle document *(Supported Virtualization and Partitioning Technologies for Oracle Database and RAC Product Releases [ID 1173831.1])* stated that:
    _"*Oracle Solaris Containers are supported with Oracle RAC 10gR2 and 11gR1 (with Oracle Solaris Cluster on SPARC64). Solaris version 10 Update 7 or later (patches 141444-09, 143055-01, 142900-06, 143137-04 "md patch") with Oracle Solaris Cluster 3.3 and 3.2u2 patched to 126106-39 or later."*_
    Does it mean that Oracle RAC is supported on Solaris Container only with Solaris Cluster?
    In other word does Oracle RAC is supported on Solaris Non-Global zones without using Solaris Cluster?

    It was my understanding too. Do you have any source document where it is specifically noted that solaris cluster(Zone Cluster) is needed for RAC?
    Please check this document www.oracle.com/technetwork/articles/systems-hardware-architecture/deploying-rac-in-containers-168438.pdf, nowhere it is said that Solaris Cluster is needed.

  • Distributed Transaction Processing Services in Oracle RAC 11.2

    Hi,
    Do we have to set the DTP parameter to TRUE for workload services that are going to be used for distributed transaction processing?
    Something like this ...
    srvctl modify service -d crm -s xa_01.service.us.oracle.com -x TRUE
    Oracle 11.2 document is not very clear on this requirement. At one stage it says...
    "Tightly coupled XA transactions no longer require the special type of singleton services (that is, Oracle Distributed Transaction Processing (DTP) services) to be deployed on Oracle RAC database. XA transactions are transparently supported on Oracle RAC databases with any type of services configuration."
    But at the end of the same section...
    "An external transaction manager, such as OraMTS, coordinates DTP/XA transactions. However, an internal Oracle transaction manager coordinates distributed SQL transactions. Both DTP/XA and distributed SQL transactions must use the DTP service in Oracle RAC."
    So do we have to use DTP services with RAC or not?
    Thanks,
    -Sanjeev
    Edited by: user12219014 on 28 Jan, 2011 8:04 PM

    Hi Sanjeev,
    I have some critical applications using Tuxedo on 10gR1/R2 RAC databases and there is no doubt to have with this versions.
    Starting with 11gR1 it seems the main limitation is over...but there are still limitations ! To be honest I will keep the DTP parameter to true after the migration in 11.2 to avoid any problem. It is still recommended even if not mandatory :
    To provide improved application performance with distributed transaction processing in Oracle RAC, you may want to take advantage of DTP services. Using DTP services, you can direct all branches of a distributed transaction to a single instance in the cluster. To load balance across the cluster, it is better to have several groups of smaller application servers with each group directing its transactions to a single service, or set of services, than to have one or two larger application servers.
    Also check note 462060.1.
    Best regards
