RAC/ASM Clusterware Installation :: Adding New OCFS Disk To Oracle Cluster On Windows
Oct 17, 2013
We have 2 servers running Oracle 11gR2 Window server 2008 64 bit RAC. Today I add new shared disk visible from both servers. All our data placed on ASM partitions, but we need Windows volume for exchanging some data between servers & users;Actions:then i have prepare disk on shared storage from 1st node, run diskmfmt.msc & rescan disks when windows recognizes new hdd, initialize it.create an Extended partition & Logical drive & Assign drive letter. from another nodes, make sure no drive letter is assigned.
Sometimes Windows automatically assign drive letter. If drive letter is assigned, right click & Change drive letter & Remove. from 1st node, format this logical drive using ocfsFormat.exe after execute below scripts i have face some issues
E:app11.2.0gridcfs>ocfsformat /m P: /c 1024 /v DATA /f /d /aReg Get Cluster Name(): Reg Query ValueEx for CFS_CLUSTER_NAME failed with error 203
This indicates that the Cluster Name has not been configured on this node for OCFSThe volume formatted in this condition will be seen by all nodes running OCFS.

current environment
Oracle VM 2 Node RAC cluster
Oracle 11G 11.2.0.3.0
Oracle 11g rel 2 GI
on current 2 node cluster we have GI and RAC db configured Nodes: vmorarac1,vmorarac2
we shutdown vmorarac1 to clone it to vmorarac5
on new node I have changed the hostname to vmorarac5 In /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 change ip to new ip and same for /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth1 152.144.199.210,152.144.199.211
mad echanges to /etc/hosts on vmorarac1/2 for 2 new IP address assigned to vmorarac5
152.144.199.171 vmorarac1.pbi.global.pvt vmorarac1
192.168.2.30 vmorarac1-priv.pbi.global.pvt vmorarac1-priv
152.144.199.184 vmorarac1-vip.pbi.global.pvt vmorarac1-vip
[Code]....
Query is is that all ok to reboot the new node to reflect changes as below and change the hostname to vmorarac2
152.144.199.210 vmorarac2.pbi.global.pvt vmorarac2
192.168.2.32 vmorarac2-priv.pbi.global.pvt vmorarac2-priv
152.144.199.211 vmorarac2-vip.pbi.global.pvt vmorarac2-vip
hostname change in /etc/sysconfig/network
On new node vmorarac5, there is alreay software for RAC DB and GUI cloned from vmorarac1
addnode.sh is used to add existing node, but as part of pre-requisite configuratoin is there any config step missing

I am having 2 data centers within 1/2 km distance. And we kept each vote disk in once site. In case of site failure, the cluster needs a 3rd set. We don't have 3rd site.
Last open world, Oracle announced that oracle storage on cloud as announced. If I get the small space on the cloud, can i put my 3rd vote disk on the cloud?

I am using newstart cluster software. currently I have two blade servers in my system and I have configured cluster as well. right now I have one issue. I am using the ip address of 10.34.14.0/28 network for cluster but this can not be accessed from all network so I want to use different range of IP of 10.68.1.0/28 network in the same blade servers. Can I configure two different floating (cluster) IP? the first IP range is for signalling and second IP range 10.68.1.0/28 network is for OMM. I need to use both IP in two blade servers.

I'm a long time Oracle DBA but have only recently started with RAC and have never done any patching or upgrades in a RAC environment.
My environment consists of a 2 node RAC cluster, and 2 physical standbys at separate remote locations.
The database, GI, ASM, and clusterware are all at version 11.2.0.1.
I want to upgrade all components to the latest patchset which is 11.2.0.3. Eventually I also want to apply the latest PSU.
Can I do this without down time? It is a mission critical database where downtime could conceivably endanger lives. If it can't be done with zero downtime, then downtime must be kept to an absolute minimum (minutes, not hours).
I suspect the clusterware needs to be patched first and I do not know whether I can do it on one node at a time.

I have a small problem resizing an ASM disk group . I've had a lun with size 50G and added on it an asm disk called LUN1D1. Then I have created a DISK GROUP called data1 (external) witch contain LUN1D1. DATA1 was then made asm volume. So I have an asm volume with size 50G and I need it to be 100G.
Now I have increased the size of the lun with 50G (100G in total). I have rescanned the LUN and os see the new size. The problem is I can not re size DISK GROUP data1 or disk LUN1D1.

I've installed GI 11.2.0.3 on AIX 7.1.And today I noticed strange ASM's behavior:
-bash-3.2$ getconf DISK_SIZE /dev/rhdisk2
*2285768*
-bash-3.2$ asmcmd
ASMCMD> lsdsk -k
Total_MB Free_MB OS_MB Name Failgroup Failgroup_Type Library Label UDID Product Redund Path
*188616* 68204 *188616* DATA_0000 DATA_0000 REGULAR System UNKNOWN /dev/rhdisk2
I guessed that was because of LUN size (it was exceed 2 TB)After that I dinamically shrinked LUN size on our external storage, rebooted and perfomed cfgmgr command on both nodes. But I still have no enough free space.
-bash-3.2$ getconf DISK_SIZE /dev/rhdisk2
*1992294*
-bash-3.2$ asmcmd
ASMCMD> lsdsk -k

im having problems with CRS in a Rac installation. Because of this i cant start the database.I installed Oracle Rac 11.2.0.1 with ASM in a Red Hat 5.8 linux server. Everything was ok until a server reboot. I have 2 nodes, nodo1 and nodo2. Both got rebooted and after that im not able to start the cluster.
All the other resources seem to be just fine .
At nodo1:
[root@nodo1 oracle]# crsctl start cluster -all
CRS-2672: Attempting to start 'ora.cssdmonitor' on 'nodo1'

I have been asked to look at making an existing Oracle server resilant. The technology I need to use are:
- Windows 2008 R2 Enterprise SP2
- Microsoft Cluster Services
- Oracle Enterprise 11g release 2
- Oracle Fail-Safe (latest version available)
Unfortunately ApEX 4.1 and Mod_plsql are install on the existing stand-alone server. I'm afraid i know very little about Oracle and ApEX but i need to make a design decision and check fiesablilty.
I believe the HTTP service and Mod_plsql can be moved to a independant server which should work but ApEX itself must remian on the database server (i'm told).Will ApEX work in a MSCS setup? I can only find references to RAC support, RAC is out of scope.

We have a Production Oracle 10g R2 RAC on HP-UX v2 IA64 servers.We have Two Disk Groups one for Archive (ARC_DISK - 100 GB) and other for Database(DATA_DISK - 1 TB]. We wanted to add more space to the DATA_DISK disk group.Unix admin configured 200 GB from SAN and changed the ownership of the Disk to oracle and permissions to 775 on 1st Node.I opended DBCA from 1st Node and was able to see the disk in 'Show Candidate'.
I added this disk to the DATA_DISK disk group and clicked OK but got ORA- error with some message like some operations could not be performed. I exited DBCA.We realized that we had forgotten to change the ownerhip and permission from the 2nd Node.Unix admin changed the ownership of the Disk to oracle and permissions to 775 on the 2nd Node.
I opened DBCA again from 1st Node and selected the DATA_DISK disk group but could not find the Disk in 'Show Candiate' open. I clicked on 'Show All' and this disk was shown with Header_Status - MEMBER but not allocated to DATA_DISKGROUP. When I clicked the 'Show Member' option, this disk is not shown for DATA_DISK disk group. I exited DBCA at this point.As this is a critcal Production database I didnt proceed any further and exited DBCA.
Now I need to add this Disk to the DATA_DISK disk group but not sure which option to select. I got one reply from another forum to run DBCA select the DATA_DISK Disk Group and then click 'Show All' and select this Disk (which already has MEMBER as Header Status) and select Force Option and click OK to continue.

Where to take and how to find the latest versions of patches GI Patch Set Update for Windows?
For a DB there is article "*ALERT: Oracle 11g Release 2 (11.2) Support Status and Alerts [ID 880782.1]*". I am signed on notification messages by mail. When article *880782.1* changes, to me the notification message comes. From *880782.1* it is possible to pass in article "*Oracle Database, Networking and Grid Agent Patches for Microsoft Platforms [ID 161549.1]*". Here there are links to the latest versions of patches.
The latest versions for GI Patch Set Update it is possible to look in article "*Oracle Recommended Patches - Oracle Database [ID 756671.1]*" but here is not present Windows platform.
1). Where to take and how to find the latest versions of patches GI Patch Set Update for Windows?
2). Whether It is possible GI Patch Set Update for Windows to find by means of searching on tab MOS "*Patches & Updates*"?

I have a RAC working with SAN raw devices presented to ASM and working fine. My situation has changed since the installation of the RAC. Now I need a shared storage (with a filesystem) to upload some files (so DB can read these as external tables) for this I have used OCFS2.
As you can see I have Oracle RAC on raw ASM + shared storage on OCFS2 and for the time been all seems to be well and working perfectly. Can these coexist with out effecting the other?

I would like to build a 2-node cluster without RAC. I desire to operate 2 Oracle database instances for use by 2 separate applications. I plan to run Linux. I would like node1 to act as the primary server for the databases in application1 and node2 to act as the failover server for the databases in application1. Conversely, I want node2 to act as the primary server for databases in application2 and node1 to act as the failover server for databases in application2. Can Oracle SE and Oracle Clusterware be configured in this this way?

My application consists of Oracle RAC and Oracle Enterprise Manage (OEM) on same two nodes. I am exploring the idea of utilizing Oracle Clusterware (which is already installed with Oracle RAC) to support OEM in active passive mode.
Here is the scenario.
Node A running Solaris 10.9 on SPARC and Node B running Solaris 10.9 on SPARC.
Node A and Node B are both Oracle RAC Nodes ( Active Active ) which use Shared Storage for Oracle using ASM.
Node A and Node B will run Oracle Enterprise Manager (OEM) Application in active passive scenario which will be using Oracle RAC for its database. So, both Oracle RAC and OEM are sharing same server A and B for its clusters.
Now, OEM application need a third party clusterware to fail it over. It needs clusterware to provide floating VIP and shared folder of the size of 20GB which will keep software libraries. If node A goes down, node B have access to same libraries and will come up as active.
Do you know if oracle clusterware which comes with Oracle RAC can support OEM for failing over i.e. it can provide floating VIP and shared file system?

Have doubt on installation of clusterware or grid infrastructure first .?I think grid infrastructure covers clusterware and ASM both and then oracle 11g software to be installed. But how to download grid insfrastructure software. Will it come with oracle 11g software..? or need to download it seperately.? Because when i try to download oracle RAC 11g which gives link to download the 11g software not grid.

I have 2 servers both having windows server 2008 64 bit as operating system installed on both I need to install oracle clusterware 11g r1 on both servers with clustering on external storage. I have configured the network(private,public and virtual) for both servers and have started the installation.
In the installation of oracle I add both servers but then I reach to a point where they ask me for voting disk or ocr disk in the cluster configuration storage but no disk is present how can i create ocr disk or voting disk on windows server 2008? And the external storage should I buy a special type of storage that supports clustering to continue my work?
