When installing clusterware, shared storage trouble

I was trying to install clusterware. When I typed location of OCR, I got error below:
Oracle Cluster Registry (OCR) is not shared across all the nodes in the cluster
Then, I found I can not mount ocfs2 on both nodes at the same time. But I can mount it on any one of nodes if it is umounted on the other one.
Can you anyone give me a hand?
Environment is as following:
- OS: Oracle Linux 5 (update 4)
- Openfiler 3 + ocfs2
- Oracle 10gR2

  • Error when install clusterware

    Dear gurus,
    i try to install RAC server using nfs server. i'm using 3 servers, 2 nodes and 1 nfs. OS using RHEL 4.5. and Oracle Server 10.2.0.1 patch set 10.2.0.3.
    i gave the two nodes names deployment and deployment2. for nfs i gave it name nfs.
    i created two directories on nfs /share1 and /share2 on nfs. then i mounted both directories into those 2 nodes as /racsoft for /share1 and /racdata for /share2.
    i installed the clusterware first, but i got error when Configuration Assistants, these are error messages from installActions.log :

    Please help what should i do ?
    Many Thanks

    I have the same error while installing clusterware for 11g RAC. The result of cluster verification utilty (runcluvfy) is ok except one warning..
    WARNING
    "Could not find a suitable set of interfaces for VIPs"
    But if I am continuing with the clusterware installation,
    "Oracle notification server configuration assistant failed message" is comming..
    Please provide solution if you have solved the same issue...
    Thanks in advance....

  • Problem of using OCFS2 as shared storage to install RAC 10g on VMware

    Hi, all
    I am installing a RAC 10g cluster with two linux nodes on VMware. I created a shared 5G disk for the two nodes as shared storage partition. By using OCFS2 tools, i formatted this shared storage partition and successfully auto mounted it on both nodes.
    Before installing, i use the command "runcluvfy.sh stage -pre crsinst -n node1,node2" to determine the installation prerequisites. Everything is ok except an error "Could not find a suitable set of interfaces for VIPs.". By searching the web, i found this error could be safely ignored.
    The OCFS2 works well on both nodes, i formatted the shared partition as ocfs2 file system and configure o2bc to auto start ocfs service. I mounted the shared disk on both nodes at /ocfs directory. By adding an entry into both nodes' /etc/fstab, this partition can be auto mounted at system boots. I could access files in shared partition on both nodes.
    My problem is that, when installing clusterware, at the stage "Specify Oracle Cluster Registry", I enter "/ocfs/OCRFILE" for Specify OCR Location and "/ocfs/OCRFILE_Mirror" for Specify OCR Mirror Location. But got an error as following:
    ----- Error Message ----
    The location /ocfs/OCRFILE, entered for the Oracle Cluster Registry(OCR) is not shared across all the nodes in the cluster. Specify a shared raw partition or cluster file system that is visible by the same name on all nodes of the cluster.
    ------ Error Message ---
    I don't know why the OUI can't recognize /ocfs as shared partition. On both nodes, using command "mounted.ocfs2 -f", i can get the result:
    Device FS Nodes
    /dev/sdb1 ocfs2 node1, node2
    What's the possible wrong? Any help is appreciated!
    Addition information:
    1) uname -r
    2.6.9-42.0.0.0.1.EL
    2) Permission of shared partition
    $ls -ld /ocfs/

    Hello
    I am not sure how far this following solution is relevant to your problem (regardless when it was originally posted - may help someone who is reading this thread), here is what I faced and here is how I fixed it:
    I was setting up RAC using VMWare. I prepared rac1 [installed OS, configured disks, users, etc] and the made a copy of it as rac2. So far so good. When, as per the guide I was following for RAC configuration, I started OCFS2 configuration, faced the following error on RAC2 when I tried to mount the /dev/adb1:
    ===================================================
    [Root @ *rac2* ~] # mount - t ocfs2 - o datavolume, nointr / dev / sdb1 / ocfs
    ocfs2_hb_ctl: OCFS2 DIRECTORY corrupted WHILE reading uuid ocfs2_hb_ctl: OCFS2 DIRECTORY corrupted WHILE reading uuid
    mount.ocfs2: Error WHEN attempting TO run / sbin / ocfs2_hb_ctl: "Operation not permitted" mount.ocfs2: Error WHEN attempting TO run / sbin / ocfs2_hb_ctl: "Operation not permitted"
    ===================================================
    After a lot of "googling around", I finally bumped into a page, the kind person who posted the solution said [in my words below and more detailed ]:
    o shutdown both rac1 and rac2
    o in VMWare, "edit virtual machine settings" for rac1
    o remove the disk [make sure you drop the correct one]
    o recreate it and select *"allocate all disk space now"* [with same name and in the same directory where it was before]
    o start rac1 and login as *"root"* and *"fdisk /dev/sdb"* [or whichever is/was your disk where you r installing ocfs2]
    Once done, repeat the steps for configuring OCFS2. I was successfully able to mount the disk on both machines.
    All this problem was apparently caused by not choosing "allocate all disk space now" option while creating the disk to be used for OCFS2.
    If you still have any questions or problem, email me at [email protected] and I'll try to get back to you at my earliest.
    Good luck!

    Hi John.
    How are you invoking VIPCA after the fact?
    - From the command linke with the same parameters as above ( the -silent option should be
    removed)
    or
    - from the command line without any parameters?
    If you have not tried to invoke vipca.bat without parameters please do so and enter the required i
    nformation when prompted.

    hi
    by the way, i am following Part Number B14207-01. Oracle® Database Oracle Clusterware and Oracle Real
    Application Clusters Installation Guide
    10g Release 2 (10.2) for Microsoft Windows
    i am upto section 4 Installing Oracle Clusterware on Windows-Based Systems.
    this is where i did as stated, Using Oracle Universal Installer to Install Oracle Clusterware on Windows
    then at step 9, When you click Finish, the OUI installs the OCFS and Oracle Clusterware software on the local node and
    validates the installation again. The OUI will also create any required OCFS
    file systems. After validating the installation, the OUI completes the Oracle
    Clusterware software installation and configuration on the remote nodes.
    this is where the configuration assistant fails, with the :
    Output generated from configuration assistant "Virtual Private IP Configuration Assistant":
    Command = C:\WINDOWS\system32\cmd /c call c:\oracle\product\10.2.0\crs/bin/vipca.bat
    -silent -nodelist "whdc-wms-srv-1,whdc-wms-srv-2" -nodevips

    Configuration assistant "Virtual Private IP Configuration Assistant" failed
    , and then when you try to vipca.bat manually, you get :
    C:\oracle\product\10.2.0\crs\BIN>vipca
    Exception in thread "main"

    NOT YET FORWARDED TO OUR INTERNAL SYSTEMS :
    New info : [email protected]
    hi xxxxxx
    also noted that even after the 1st attempt to install clusterware the path is as follows :
    PATH=C:\WINDOWS\system32;C:\WINDOWS;C:\WINDOWS\System32\Wbem
    not sure when there is no change to the path as a result of the oracle install, as there is a JRE and jlib folder under the oracle home : C:\oracle\product\10.2.0\crs\jlib

    1st question is you have contradictory statements in your tar. 1) you say no vendor clusterware and the you say you have windows 2003 clusterware installed and configured.
    Why are you installing both?
    Although I don;t think that is the problem here, I wonder why anyone would want to run 2 independent cluster software on same servers.
    Now the output from the installer has whdc-wms-srv-2-vip output from cluvfy shows suitable interface as whdc-wms-srv-1 HEARTBEAT 10.10.10.11:10.10.10.10
    whdc-wms-srv-2 HEARTBEAT 10.10.10.11:10.10.10.11
    whdc-wms-srv-2-vip what you entered to installer does not match what is available!

  • Shared Storage Check

    Hi all,
    We are planning to add a node to our existing RAC deployment (Database: 10gr2 and Sun Solaris 5.9 OS). Currently the shared storage is IBM SAN.
    When i run shared storage check using cluvfy, it fails to detect any shared storage. Given that i can ignore this error message (since cluvfy doesn't work wth SAN i beleive), how can i check whether the storage is shared or not?
    Note
    When i see partition table from both servers, it looks same (for the SAN drive, of course) but the name/label of the storages are different (For example: In existing node it show c6t0d0 but in the new node, which is to be added, it shows something different. Is it ok?).
    regards,
    Muhammad Riaz

    Never mind. I found solution from http://www.idevelopment.info.
    (1) Create following directory structure on second node (same as first node) with the same permissions on existins node:
    /asmdisks
    - crs
    -disk1
    -disk2
    - vote
    (2) use ls -lL /dev/rdsk/<Disk> to find out major and minor ids of shared disk and attach those ids to relveant direcotries above using mknod command:
    # ls -lL /dev/rdsk/c4t0d0*

  • How to change permissions on shared storage to install Oracle RAC on vmware

    Hello:
    - I am trying to install Oracle RAC using vmware.
    - But when I try to change permissions for the shared storage,
    the owner and group of the shared storage does not change.
    - Has some else installed Oracle RAC onto vmware ?
    - I am using Oracle RAC 10.2.0, solaris 5.10 x86
    Thanks

  • While installing Clusterware cannot see raw shared partitions

    I have made 4 extended logical drives from EMC shared storage to be visible from my two nodes on 64bit windows 2003 server. During Clusterware installation while selecting the disks for OCR and Voting file, I cannot see the raw shared volumes.
    The following is the output of cluvfy utility for component shared storage accessibility,
    # runcluvfy.exe comp ssa -n node1,node2
    Verifying shared storage accessibility
    Checking shared storage accessibility...
    Shared storage check failed on nodes "node2,node1".
    Verification of shared storage accessibility was unsuccessful on all the nodes.
    I also get exectask.exe encounter a problem and needed to close meassage aswell.
    [email protected]

    The issue is resolved. I formatted the shared disks with NTFS file system. Then deleted the partition and recreated extended logical volumes and now the shared storage is accessible from the clusterware instalation for the selection of ocr and voting files.
    #cluvfy comp ssa -n node1,node2
    The above command on 64bit win2003 servers gives error. This is due to bug 6007675. Base Bug number is 4714708. So the solution is to continue with the installation and ignore the error message.

    I have a Lucid 2 LG.  I have been having trouble with insuffient storage.  I have a 8G phone and have spent hours with Tier 2 tech trying to move info from the internal storage to the SD card with no luck,  When I go to storage in the settings it states that over 4 gigs is for Misc?  System data takes up over 4 gigs.  No one can tell me what system data consist of.  So My question is does anyone know what system data is?  I am assuming I have a 8 gigphone but can only use 4 gigs???

    System data is the OS or operating system.  That is where the recovery stays separated from the rest of the storage so that it doesn't get corrupted.  It is not accessible and non-movable.

    crs is not started in any of the nodes. I would like to know if anybody faced this kind of a problem when using QFS on diskgroup. When one disk is failed, the oracle is not supposed to go offline as the other disk is working, and also my qfs configuration is to mirror these two disks !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    Many thanks in advance
    Ushas Symon

    I'm not sure why you say QFS is mirroring these disks!?!? Shared QFS has no inherent mirroring capability. It relies on the underlying volume manager (VM) or array to do that for it. If you need to mirror you storage, you do it at the VM level by creating a mirrored metadevice.
