RAC/ASM Clusterware Installation :: Oracle Client Need To Upgrade
Mar 19, 2013
We are in process of upgrading 10g (RAC) database to 11g(RAC), does the oracle client software must also be upgraded to 11g or the 10g client can be used for 11g database connectivity, since there are thousands of end users it is very difficult to upgrade all the clients.What is the best approach for client software?
Is it possible to upgrade GI 11.2.0.1 Enterprise Edition version to 11.2.0.3 STANDARD EDITION?
We have 2 Node RAC with 10.2 DB SE. Last time I think by mistake or not knowing the licensing information GI was upgraded to EE 11.2.0.1 by somebody or may be whatever version of GI is used, it has nothing to do with the license?
I have heard that I can upgrade Grid Infrastructure, but to Standard Edition. Does GI also comes with SE and also just want to know that can I perform this upgrade?
I want to upgrade (out of place) Grid Infrastructure to latest version of 11.2.0.3 and then PSU on top of that.
GI HOME and DB HOME are separated. Database I want to upgrade later on, not with this clusterware upgrade. I have download p10404530_112030_Linux-x86-64_3of7.zip from MOS for upgrading GI.
grid@db1p [rec]: /home/grid > crsctl query crs softwareversion Oracle Clusterware version on node [db1p] is [11.2.0.1.0] grid@db1p [rec]: /home/grid > crsctl query crs activeversion Oracle Clusterware active version on the cluster is [11.2.0.1.0]grid@db1px [ec]: /home/grid > sqlplus / as sysasm
[code]....
1) Is this the correct p10404530_112030_Linux-x86-64_3of7.zip to upgrade GI from 11.2.0.1 to 11.2.03?
2) Do I need a COMPLETE DOWNTIME to upgrade GI on 2 node RAC where DB is STANDARD EDITION but Clusterware is 11.2 as you have seen above..
3) Will this ASM version will also be upgraded along with GI upgrade installer or it must be upgrades separately after GI Upgrade?
We try to upgrade the 10g to 11g oracle instance and asm instance.Below steps we r done;
1)First we are install the 11.2.0.3 database and grid infrastructure in separate home.
2)after that i try to upgrade asm instance so i drop old 10g asm localconfig cd $ORACLE10g_HOME./localconfig deletecd $ORACLE11g_HOME./localconfig add but here i can not find localconfig Note:database and grid installed without error....
3)Even we are try dbua but it run 10g dbua we are not able to run dbua for 11g
4)inventory is corrupted how to recreate inventory
5)provide the steps for upgrade 10g asm to 11g asm
I am trying to install Oracle RAC installation w/ guest OS OracleLinux6 on Virtualbox/Mac OS.But getting problem to set network & ip setting and yum is not able to reach oracle repository.
if anyone tried installing Oracle RAC installation w/ guest OS OracleLinux6 on Virtualbox on intel based Mac OS.
I am getting "ORA-03114: not connected to ORACLE" while installing "Oracle Database 11GR2" on "Oracle RAC 11R2" cluster setup. I am getting this error at the time of "Oracle Database Configuration Assistant" configuration reaches till 39% on HP-UX 11.31 IA64 platform.
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?
Am planning to install oracle RAC 11g on linux server. 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 been reading a lot of documentation regarding oracle services and I have an ok understanding of how they work. However, I have a general question regarding configuring services using Oracle RAC. For instance, if I have a 2 node oracle 11GR2 RAC on a Linux Redhat server. I have an application that connects to a service I have created. I create the service as follows.
srvctl add service -d ORCL_RAC -s APP_SERVICE -r ORCL_RAC1,ORCL_RAC2
1) When I do a 'srvctl status service -d ORCL_RAC', should I see the service running on both nodes of the RAC? Or does it run only one node, then it will fail over to the other when needed? 2) If I have a RAC environment where I see two services created (RAC_SRV1 and RAC_SRV2). I see that RAC_SRV1 is only running on node1 and RAC_SRV2 is only running on node2. There are two applications sharing the same database, one application is using RAC_SRV1 and the other application is using RAC_SRV2. Am I correct in thinking that there is no failover available here? If node1 goes down, the application connecting to RAC_SRV1 will not be able to connect to node2 right? 3) In the case of the scenario in question 2 above, would it be best practise to simply create one service and have both applications connecting to the one service? Could I configure the one service to point connections from one application to node1 and connections from the other application to node2?
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
I would like to know that when the private network in oracle rac down, which is the preferable node in the cluster (cluster of 2 nodes) to takeover the cluster.
Can I set/get the failover policy to point to one node in the cluster?
I want to install an active / passive Oracle Configuration for our new 11gR2 system. We do not want to go full blown RAC as yet. We already have an 11gR2 instance that I plan to CLONE to the production server(s).
So. detail the steps that I need to follow .
i.e. configure the 2 servers (VIFs/Interconnects) Install GRID/CRS Clone over the database (do I do this as a SINGLE NODE RAC?)
After installing a 4 node cluster 11.2.0.3 with 16 CPU's (4 on each node) on IBM 795 with aix 6.1 each server is using 0.5 CPU with no user load on the system. Running SIHA on one server typically uses 0.05 CPU with no user load on the system.
I am trying to install Oracle Database 11gR2 database on Oracle Grid 11gR2. I successfully installed Grid without errors. However, when installing the database, I got an OLR Integrity error during the prerequisit Check
OLR Integrity - This test checks the integrity of OLR on the local node. Expected Value : n/a Actual Value : n/a List of errors: - Permissons of file "/u01/app/oracle/product/11.2.0/grid/cdata/localhost/localhost.olr" did not match the expected value. [Expected = "0600"; Found = "0660"] - Cause: Cause of Problem Not Available - Action: User Action Not Available.
In our current setup we have RAC on standard edition and client is now planning to go for Enterprise Edition but not yet decide because of cost. Is there any difference between Grid Infrastructure 11gR3 Enterprise edition and Standard Edition ?
They told me to first install Enterprise Edition and then will move to Standard Edition if they can't get the EE license so in that case do i have to re-install Grid infrastructure for standard edition?
I am trying to setup my environment to prepare for hands on DBA exercises from an OCM handbook for 10g -OCM:Oracle Database 10g Administrator Certified Master Exam Guide
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.
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.
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).
There is a lot of output but these seem to be the key problems: [1852@PRDAT217] [Worker 3] [ 2013-10-01 14:44:45.190 BST ] [WindowsSystem.deleteService:876] _WS_ deleteService2: node PRDAT217 Service OracleRemExecService result: 0|Access is denied.[1852@PRDAT217] [Worker 3] [ 2013-10-01 14:44:45.190 BST ] [NativeResult.<init>:91] NativeResult: The String obtained is0|Access is denied.[1852@PRDAT217] [Worker 3] [ 2013-10-01 14:44:45.190 BST ] [NativeResult.<init>:99] The status string is: 0[1852@PRDAT217] [Worker 3] [ 2013-10-01 14:44:45.190 BST ] [NativeResult.<init>:112]
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 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?
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.
Trying to upgrade APEX within an Oracle XE database installation on Windows 7. The version of APEX that came with Oracle XE is 4.0.2. Trying to upgrade to 4.1.1 and, from the SQL*Plus command-line (ie. the 'Run SQL Command' tool which comes with Oracle XE), I try to run @apexins.sql.
It starts to run momentarily, then the MS-DOS windows just closes. Can not find any install log to determine the cause.
I rarely do client installs. I have not downloaded upgrades on a couple of years. I have been doing other stuff and oracle supports patching page has changed.
Need to install 11.2 on HP Itanium 64 bit. I can get 11.2.0.1 from otn.oracle.com.
1. I downloaded the 11.2.0.1 client from otn. I want to see if there is an 11.2.0.2 or 11.2.0.3 patch on Oracle support. I can only find upgrades that are specifically for the databsae server. Do I use this? See below for the notes I used so far. Note: Oracle Database Upgrade Path Reference List [ID 730365.1]
Which leads me to the following patch below. However, this download is much larger than the client download on otn. It also says 'database server' and does not break out to 'database client'.So not sure if this is what I use to patch the client or not. This upgrade is also much larger than the straight client download. So not sure if this is what I use to just upgrade the client.
Patch:10404530 Description 11.2.0.3.0 PATCH SET FOR ORACLE DATABASE SERVER Product Oracle Database Family
This upgrade seems to be for the whole database and not just for the client install.
2. Do you apply PSU's to the client? I see them listed for the 'database'. Not sure if you apply to a separate client install. 3. We use the proC pre-compiler. When I look in the instant client download section, I see a seperate section for the proC pre-compiler download. I don't see that for the full blown client. Does the regular client download include the proC pre-compiler?
