I would like to use Oracle Grid Infrastructure to protect a single-instance database.
I found these docs:
[URL]
I was unable to find a similar document for GI 11.2 . Do you know if such a document exists?
At the moment I only know that the GI is free if used for an Oracle Product, but I am not shure whether it can be used to protext external applications or single-instance databases
i have installed grid(crs+asm) on my two linux node(Enterprise linux 5) setup, using openfiler(SAN) , i have configure grid Home like ORACLE_ HOME=/ u01/ home/app/11.2.0/grid.
1) i don't get any instance specific asm parameter file like init+ASM1.ora instead of that i got ab_+ASM1.dat, hc_+ASM1.dat, init.ora, orapw+ASM four files, do i need to create ASM instance specific parameter manually to create diskgroup in the same location,
2) +DATA diskgroup has been created while grid installation, but when i try to create database, its giving me error diskgroup +DATA doesn't exit or not mount, but when i check it shows me mount like below $cd $ORACLE_HOME/dbs (here oracle home is grid home)$export ORACLE_SID=+ASM1$sqlplus / as sysdba>select name,state from v$asm_diskgroup; name state DATA Mounted even i cant able to dismount diskgroup DATA, it throws an error insufficient privilege.
3) After grid installation how can one create diskgroup i mean what needs to exported as ORACLE_SID like in 10g we have $export ORACLE_SID=+ASM1 then creat diskgroup.
I'm trying to test moving a single instance 11202 database to single instance w/ grid infra.
Here is what I've done:
1. Install a database (11202), single instance and create a database
2. Install Grid Software only (user: grid)
3. start the cluster
4. "srvctl add database -d orclsidb -o $ORACLE_HOME" to register the database with grid.
4.1> I was able to start/stop the database with srvctl command here onwards
5. configure disks using asmlib and start the asm
6. "srvctl add asm" to register asm with grid.
7. PROBLEM ... when I try to "backup as copy database format '+ASM_DATA_DG';" from oracle user it errors out as below:
RMAN> backup as copy database format '+ASM_DATA_DG';

We have a two node 11.2.0.3 Grid Infra cluster running on SLES11 Linux. Everything is ok with the SCAN and standard listeners.
However we have a listener running on each node which is used by Oracle Gateway. These listeners were created manually using info provided by Oracle (i.e. definition copied to $ORACLE_HOME/network/admin/listener.ora and started using lsnrctl). This all works.
These listeners are currently not managed by Grid Infra. We would like them to be.
I thought this was easy enough using srvctl to register them with Grid Infra using...
srvctl add listener -n mynode1 -l LISTENER_MYNODE1_GW -o $ORACLE_HOME -p 1529
srvctl add listener -n mynode2 -l LISTENER_MYNODE2_GW -o $ORACLE_HOME -p 1529
These commands worked but did give a warning stating that the -n flag is deprecated and will be ignored.
This has left us with the following listener config....
grid@MYNODE1:~> srvctl status listener -n mynode1 | grep mynode
Listener LISTENER_MYNODE1_GW is enabled on node(s): mynode1
Listener LISTENER_MYNODE1_GW is not running on node(s): mynode1
Listener LISTENER_MYNODE2_GW is enabled on node(s): mynode1
Listener LISTENER_MYNODE2_GW is not running on node(s): mynode1
grid@MYNODE1:~> srvctl status listener -n mynode 2 | grep mynode
Listener LISTENER_MYNODE1_GW is enabled on node(s): mynode2
Listener LISTENER_MYNODE1_GW is not running on node(s): mynode2
Listener LISTENER_MYNODE2_GW is enabled on node(s): mynode2
Listener LISTENER_MYNODE2_GW is not running on node(s): mynode2
You can see that Grid Infra knows about the listeners but they are available on both nodes. What we would like is a result like the following example....
grid@MYNODE1:~> srvctl status listener -n mynode1 | grep mynode
Listener LISTENER_MYNODE1_GW is enabled on node(s): mynode1
Listener LISTENER_MYNODE1_GW is not running on node(s): mynode1
grid@MYNODE1:~> srvctl status listener -n mynode 2 | grep mynode
Listener LISTENER_MYNODE2_GW is enabled on node(s): mynode2
Listener LISTENER_MYNODE2_GW is not running on node(s): mynode2
i.e one listener registered with just the node it is running on. This used to be possible with using the -n flag but no longer works.

I'm installing Oracle Grid 11gr2 on windows 2003 server. I installed successfully without domain controller. But when i try to install with Active Domain controller i faced following error
INS-20802 Grid Infrastructure Failed
Cause:Plugin failed
I am configuring Grid Infrastructure 11g2 on node A, one of two cluster nodes, and getting the following message:
[INS-40916] Single-instance versions of Cluster Synchronization Services (CSS) are detected.
I executed runInstaller and installed software-only on both A and B nodes. It apparently the other node has already CSS instance running, and maybe caused by the installation.I remove the software from A first?
How do I stop CSS on the node A, and let the configuratoin to continue on this node B
I am trying to design a database consolidation high-availability cluster for Oracle 11g R2 64-bit Enterprise Edition (X86-64) on Oracle Linux 6.x UEK, using Oracle 11.2.0.3 (the latest as of Aug 2012).
We don't need RAC Multi-Node now or in foreseeable future because none of the databases we run break the capacity of a single node. Likewise, we don't need to use Oracle VM to virtualise the database instances.
We plan to use SGA and PGA memory management to run multiple instances on same hardware operating on a single Linux 64-bit O/S image.Does it sound ok so far?
Two or three of 4-socket, 40-core Intel 64-bit servers with 512GB of RAM each (relatively cheap at today's HW commodity prices) will be sufficient to run all Oracle databases we have on Linux 64-bit.So the two HA options that I know of are:
(1) use Oracle Clusterware/Grid/ASM to provide for instance failover
(2) use Oracle RAC One Node on top of Clusterware/Grid/ASM
As I understand it RAC One Node is significantly more expensive than the "free" Oracle Clusterware/ASM/Grid (since we own Oracle 11.2.0.3 Enterprise Licences already). So why should my employer pay for RAC One Node licence given they already own Single Instance Fail-Over and Restart protection from Clusterware/Grid/ASM ?
I also read that Data Guard 11.2 may not be supported with RAC One Node on 11.2? True? Will same Data Guard 11.2 work with a Single-Instance Failover running on Clusterware/Grid/ASM ?
-Who is running RAC One Node? Why?
-Who is running Single Instance Failover with Clusterware? Why?
-Who is using Data Guard with either of the above?

I got huge problem trying to install grid infrastructure and oracle db. Separately oracle db works fine and installation is going without any problems as for grid not so much.
i got vmware host 4.1 with several vm's on top. One of them i openfiler which gives 2 luns for installation. Two other vm's are host of windows 2008r2(comes only 64bits i know that many of you know but just to be clear). Those two windows should be connected in oracle cluster and should have one oracle db afterwards. I have already AD domain, free disks and all required staff arranged and prepared.
I wont bodder you ppl about previous problems but current one is that i have no clue what's going wrong. I got two logs file which i paste below but there's no error message just some warning which isn't described even properly as for me.

I have run the cluvfy.bat prior to grid software install and passed very well. When i tried to install Grid Software,at prerequisites i got error as "node connectivity".
Even i ignored this error and run the finish.After moving grid software to remote nodes ,it throws error as " [INS-20802] Grid Infrastructure Configuration failed ".
It specified one log,which i am attaching here. In network side ,the ping is ok to all the nodes.

i am trying to install 2 node RAC on Oracle VMs. Before the installation during the -preinst check there were few issues which were resolved (ex user equivalence). After that during the installation process of the Grid it failed at step "Configure Oracle Grid Infrastructure for a cluster". After it failed at this step, subsequent steps too failed which I asked OUI to ignore and then I ran both the post installation scripts. And then ran post crsinst which failed.

I have some confusions regarding to 11gR2 RAC installation:
- Is Grid Infrastructure only the solution to install Clusterware Application 11gR2? My requirement is to install only the Cluster ware Software for 11gR2 (For 11gR1 we have "linux.x64_11gR1_clusterware.zip") using ocfs2 file system, Archive Mode not enabled.
I am in process of installing Oracle 11g R2 Grid Infrastructure on 2-node virtual RAC. All went very well until the Grid Installation stuck on 65%. It is saying copying file on remote node ('Copying Oracle Home '/u01/app/11.2.0/grid' to remote nodes 'cxm-vl-rman02'). From the logs it is difficult to figure out where the bottlenecks lies.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI've noticed that the backup files produced by RMAN (Database is 11.2.0.2.0 Enterprise Edition) )on a RHEL5.5. server which is running ASM have group permissions assigned to ASMADMIN (so the file permissions are assigned to ORACLE:ASMADMIN) as opposed to OINSTALL or any other group.
While this is not an issue (it's not currently impacting us in any way) I'm curious as to how and why this happens. I suspect it is related to the fact that the oracle executable has these permissions also but I can't find any material to confirm my suspicion.
GRID version: 11.2.0.3 , 11.2.0.2
Platform : AIX 6.1
We install grid using Grid Installer GUI. When doing a fresh installation of Grid Infrastructure 11.2.0.2 or 11.2.0.3 in a new server , I want to apply its latest PSU as well. When should I do this PSU patching ?
A. Should I apply the GI PSU after the entire Grid installation is successfully completed ?
or
B. Should I apply the GI PSU just before running the root.sh ?
i.e. when the installer prompts you to run root.sh (see the screenshot below)
[URL].........
At this stage(before running root.sh) the GI binaries are in place . So , I can apply the PSU on these binaries? Right?Should I follow option A or B above ?

The primary database can be either a single-instance Oracle database or an Oracle Real Application Clusters (RAC) database. Similar to a primary database, a standby database can be either a single-instance Oracle database or an Oracle RAC database.
