RAC/ASM Clusterware Installation :: Pre-installation Check Fails On Local Nodes?
Oct 1, 2013
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 installing Oracle Grid Infratructure 11.2.0.3 on OEL 6.3...I reached the final step, running the root.sh on node 1. It succsessfully started the services but then I got this error:
Failed to create voting files on disk group OCR_VOTING. Change to configuration failed, but was successfully rolled back. CRS-4000: Command Replace failed, or completed with errors.
Voting file add failed Failed to add voting disks at /opt/oracle/11.2.0/grid/crs/install/crsconfig_lib.pm line 6780. +/opt/oracle/11.2.0/grid/perl/bin/perl -I/opt/oracle/11.2.0/grid/perl/lib -I/opt/oracle/11.2.0/grid/crs/install /opt/oracle/11.2.0/grid/crs/install/rootcrs.pl execution failed+
OCR_VOTING Diskgroup is configured using oracleasm:

Here is part of logfile of the root.sh - tool. Meanwhile I tried deinstalling the clusterware and cleaning up, then I verified the server configuration with cluvfy and all was OK.
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 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.
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 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 am installaing oracle RAC 11.2.0.1. After I installed the grid infrastructure, when I ran root.sh, I got below errors;
ASM failed to start. Check /d1/app/grid/cfgtoollogs/asmca/asmca-1109068AM4612.log for details.
Configuration of ASM failed, see logs for details Did not succssfully configure and start ASM CRS-2500: Cannot stop resource 'ora.crsd' as it is not running
I want to install Oracle EE 11gR2 on my Windows 7 Professional 64-bit laptop. Installed memory is 8GB.I need to install 32-bit server since Oracle Warehouse Builder will not run on a 64-bit o/s. Further, I use Toad 9.7.2 which will only recognise client 32-bit.
I had a few failed attempts, especially when the database was being created with the ORA-12560: TNS:protocol adapter error,
So here's what I did:
Changed C:WindowsSystem32driversetchosts so that it contains two lines 127.0.0.1 localhost & ::1 localhost Changed properties of setup.exe in the installation directory to be Windows XP SP2 compatible and run as administrator Selected "install database software only" (so I could figure out at what step the installation fails) Selected "single instance" Selected "Enterprise Edition" Selected oracle base "c:app" (instead of default location c:appd_seng)
Copy of files was completed successfully, log file was created in c:program files(x86)oracleinventorylogs & registry entries were added to "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREWow6432NodeORACLE" (with keys KEY_OraDb11g_home1, ODP.NET & OracleMTSRecoveryService), and the following services were created:
OracleMTSRecoveryService: Started/Automatic OracleOraDb11g_home1ClrAgent: Not started/Manual OracleRemExecService: Started/Disabled
There are no listener.ora & tnsnames.ora yet. Sqlnet.ora is created with the line SQLNET.AUTHENTICATION_SERVICES = (NTS)
Now I went to Start, All Programs, Oracle - OraDb11g_home1, Configuration and Migration Tools, right clicked on "Net Configuration Assistant" and changed the properties to be Windows XP SP2 compatible and run as administrator and ran it. I selected "Listener Configuration", added a listener called LISTENER, TCP protocol, port 1521 and finished. A service called "OracleOraDb11g_home1TNSListener" was created and started in automatic mode. The PATH was updated and listener.ora was created with the lines:

The command completed successfully Now I went to start, all programs, Oracle - OraDb11g_home1, Configuration and Migration Tools, right clicked on "Database Configuration Assistant" and changed the properties to be Windows XP SP2 compatible and run as administrator and ran it.
I chose to create a databaseGeneral purpose Global database name ORCL SID ORCL Chose "Configure Enterprise Manager" & "Configure Database Control for local management" and disabled "Automatic maintenance tasks" Used the same password for all accounts
Selected storage type "File System" & "Use Database File Locations from Template" Unchecked Flash Recovery & Archiving Selected "Sample Schemas", "Typical" memory size (1228MB), "Use Automatic Memory Management" Left sizing/character sets/connection mode as default, and Selected "Generate Database Creation Scripts" in C:appadminORCLscripts (if I choose to Create Database, it fails with TNS Protocol Adapter Error).
I now open ORCL.bat in an editor, go to command prompt, create the directories as per the file, set ORACLE_SID=ORCL & path.
The next step C:appproduct11.2.0dbhome_1inoradim.exe -edit -sid ORCL -startmode auto -srvcstart system give an error "Unable to start service, OS Error 1056" (probably implies services already running), nothing is present in the windows alert logs about this. If I stop the service OracleVssWriterORCL, then this command completes, although no messages are returned.
The next step in the batch file starts sqplus /nolog and calls ORCL.sql.
ORCL.sql accepts passwords for sys, system, sysman & dbsnmp. It then executes host C:appproduct11.2.0dbhome_1inorapwd.exe file=C:appproduct11.2.0dbhome_1databasePWDORCL.ora force=y, which prompts me for the password for sys.
ORCL.sql then calls CloneRmanRestore.sql, which then tries to run connect "SYS"/"&&sysPassword" as SYSDBA
This is when I get the error ORA-12560: TNS:protocol adapter error, which has been haunting me for days.
My gut feel is that the database creation step at sqlplus is unable to recognise the listener...or probably it does not recognise the modified registry location (with Wow6432Node), the file oracle.key in C:appproduct11.2.0dbhome_1BIN shows the string SOFTWAREORACLEKEY_OraDb11g_home1.
I then changed oracle.key to point to SOFTWAREWow6432NodeORACLEKEY_OraDb11g_home1, restarted the listener and ORCL service, but connecting as sys returns the same error.
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?
When I use 'ONSCTL PING' to test the ons status, it says: configure localport and remoteport directives and attempt to start ONS server again.ons is not running.The content of D:app11.2.0gridopmnconfons.config is:
localport=6100 # line added by Agent allowgroup=true usesharedinstall=true remoteport=6200 # line added by Agent nodes=rac1:6200,rac2:6200 # line added by Agent
The content of D:app11.2.0gridopmnconfons.config.rac2 is: localport=6100 # line added by Agent allowgroup=true usesharedinstall=true remoteport=6200 # line added by Agent nodes=rac1:6200,rac2:6200 # line added by Agent
The configuration file is almost the same in rac1.But the output of 'srvctl status nodeapps' is :
ons is enabled ons is running on node1:rac1 ons is running on node2:rac2
tried to mount a big endian asm disk (AIX for example) on little endian env (linux x86)? I have a disk that KFED is able to read but ASM is unable to mount it due to endianess incompatibility.
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 $ORACLE11g_HOME./localconfig add but here i can not find localconfig Note:database and grid installed without error....
3)Even we are try dbua but it run 10g dbua we are not able to run dbua for 11g
4)inventory is corrupted how to recreate inventory
5)provide the steps for upgrade 10g asm to 11g asm
I'm a long time Oracle DBA but have only recently started with RAC and have never done any patching or upgrades in a RAC environment.
My environment consists of a 2 node RAC cluster, and 2 physical standbys at separate remote locations.
The database, GI, ASM, and clusterware are all at version 11.2.0.1.
I want to upgrade all components to the latest patchset which is 11.2.0.3. Eventually I also want to apply the latest PSU.
Can I do this without down time? It is a mission critical database where downtime could conceivably endanger lives. If it can't be done with zero downtime, then downtime must be kept to an absolute minimum (minutes, not hours).
I suspect the clusterware needs to be patched first and I do not know whether I can do it on one node at a time.
I'm installing Oracle RAC 11.2.0.3 on RHEL6.3. Since the asmlib RPMs are not provided any more (for RHEL6) I am now able to use either a whole disk or a partition.
which method is the better one, what are the advantages and disadvantages of these methods?
Is there a difference performance wise if ASM gets two LUNs of 1.7TB (DATA) and 0.6TB (FRA) respectively compared to 17 LUNs of 100GB each (for DATA) and 6 LUNs of 100GB each (for FRA)? Is there a recommended size from Oracle?
We are using Oracle 11g R2 on Windows 2008 R2 Server. I have noticed that there is no Enterprise Manager Installed on test environment ( I haven't did this installation). However I tried to configure the EM by using the following command
emca -config dbcontrol db -repos recreate
but got message that "Database Instance is Unavailable" (while instance is up and running with all listeners)
I checked the sysman directory under "$ORACLE_HOME/hostname_sid/sysman".
how can I configure Enterprise Manager (DB Console) in this scenario ?
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?
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 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.
