RAC/ASM Clusterware Installation :: Grid Infrastructure / Don't Get Any Instance Specific ASM Parameter
Oct 3, 2013
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 would like to use Oracle Grid Infrastructure to protect a single-instance database.
I found these docs:

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 am preparing to install grid infrastructure 11.2.0.3 on AIX 6.2 USING AIX LPARS. I am getting the following errors in the output when runningn the following command...
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
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...
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 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 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.
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 ?
I tried to install 11gR2 grid infrastructure for 2 nodes RAC using VMWare as per the instructions provided in the below link.
[URL]
Until 65% installation went fine without any issues but after reaching this step "updating '/u01/app/11.2.0/grid/install/cluster.ini",it starts to hung. In the installation log file, I found these details.
I want to install Oracle Grid software 11g R2. What is the Latest Oracle Grid software 11g R2 version available?Is it 11.2.0.1 or 11.2.0.3?If it is 11.2.0.3, is it available in metalink download, because I see only 11.2.0.1 version in metalink download?
when i install grid,the program stop at "loading setup dirver",this 's the log file.

I need access to the following files gc_10205_part1of2.zip, gc_10205_part2of2.zip for 32 bit linux
Apparently the above along with other Grid software was once attainable from the link below but sometime between this year and the last Oracle decided to remove this and other software from public access. URL.....
I doubt Oracle will hear my plea - educational purposes only - so given I want access to the software only.
I'm doing some testes installing grid 11.2.0.3 32bits software on a OEL6 32bits (virtual box environment). The problem appeared where i ran root.sh script on node 1. The following error appeared to me:

I am running oracle linux 5.7 on VMware Workstation 9 and trying to install Grid 11gr2, during installation my system freezes and I see out of memory errors. Actually Java installer is eating up too much memory over 1gb. Is there a way ? I can limit memory usage by Java process to a certain extent ?
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'm trying to install Grid Infrastructure for Oracle RAC 11g. I followed each step of pre installation tasks, but when I run run Installer it blocks without any error message.

I am trying for 11gR2 3 node RAC ASM on windows 2003-64-bit. I am using one SCAN ip ,placed in /etc/hosts file.I am not using DNS/GNS. Same thing done(/etc/hosts) on other nodes also.
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.
Here i am attaching the error screen shots and error log file.
I have raised SR with Oracle ,but not able to identify the root cause of this problem.I will post the solution once i got from oracle.
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. Pasting below the output of the root.sh script, post crsinst and other checks.

I'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.
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';

I am setting up a RAC cluster in Oracle 11.2.0.3 on two Windows 2008R2 nodes.I have completed all the pre-installation tasks would like to verify this by running:cluvfy comp sys -p database -n allusing the standalone download of cluvfy - I haven't installed any Oracle software as yet. This completes successfully on the remote node but fails on the local node (whichever one I run it from).

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.
We're trying to utilize Oracle RAC 11.2. We want to have two servers in our grid. These two server are installed on a VM using Hyper-V software.
common storage for asm is also developed on a VM using FreeNAS software.Now, when we try to install Grid Infrastructure the disk that is recognized as a extra drive in both servers are disabled and we can't select it as ASM storage. The OS we're using is Windows Server 2008 R2.I have to say the IP requirements are considered and the servers have two IPs.
however the problem we have is when testing a third party supplied application we have evidence of data loss when we crash an instance in the RAC cluster, however this only occurs during approximately 30% of tests, our suspicion is that the application is managing the failover and reapplying only certain types of transaction, the problem is as we have to perform multiple tests to get a reproduction it is immensely time consuming and expensive to test this and the vendor has a tendency to report that the issue is fixed in a patch and then we reproduce the bug during testing.
For a session I can cause it to crash using the oradebug event e.g. alter session set events
'sql_trace[sql: 7h35uxf5uhmm1] RDBMS.crash(0)'
Support have advised that there is no way to cause an instance crash this way, so I am in the process of raising this as a feature request however I would be interested in how other people currently test how third party applications respond to RAC node failures, we currently use a script that executes a kill -STOP to pasue logwriter then sleeps for a short period of time before aborting the database instance, this at least allows us to force a failure during the commit so we are more likely but we can't guarantee that we have tested the exact type of transaction that is causing the problem.
