suggest on the dependenecy between the database service and the database instance?
srvctl start instance -i db1 will this start service as well for which the above instance is either preferred or available instance? will it start the listener as well?
srvctl stop instance -i db1 will this stop service as well for which the above instance is either preferred or available instance? will it stop the listener as well?
srvctl start service -d db -s dbserve will this start service as well for which the above instance is either preferred or available instance?
srvctl stop servive -d db -s dbserve will this stop service as well for which the above instance is either preferred or available instance?
srvctl start database -d db will it start instance, listener and service as well?
srvctl stop database -d db will it stop instance, listener and service as well?
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 want to install oracle 11.2.0.2 single instance database on AIX 6.1, does oracle recommend separate OS user for grid infrastructure and for oracle install? how many groups I need to have for these users like oinstall, dba etc?
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 using Oracle RAC 11.2.0.3 as primary database, we are going to start using Oracle data guard. So I am designing my infrastructure and planing to use Oracle 11.2.0.3 Single instance as my physical stand by database.
My question is it feasible to have my standby database as single instance while the primary is RAC? is it feasible to build my Oracle single instance standby database from the RMAN backup of the RAC primary database? Is there any restrictions (or any points to be taken into consideration) since my primary database is RAC while the physical standby is Oracle single instance?
in the below link
[URL].......
it was mentioned that primary can be RAC or single and same for standby, but my question is it feasible to have primary as RAC while standby as single instance? or it should be like each others?
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.
I have 11gR2 GI installed on two nodes. I am trying to convert a 10g single instance (uses ASM) database to RAC and getting this error. I am trying using 12c as well as manually by using rconfig.
[main] [21:19:15:145] [ASMInstance.initialize:135] First record =[Ljava.lang.String;@958bb8 java.lang.NullPointerException at oracle.sysman.assistants.rconfig.engine.ASMInstance.initialize(ASMInstance.java:153) at oracle.sysman.assistants.rconfig.engine.Step.execute(Step.java:283)
We've been administering a multiple instance production dB server with 3 different versions of Oracle installed.Currently, each of Oracle version had corresponding listener.Oracle 9i had 2 instances, 10g 6 instances & 11g 2 instances also.how I can integrate this 3 listeners into 1.
We have to perform migration for our RAC database to new SAN that is at new data centre. Since OS is IBM AIX, we can take backup from mksysb for VG and and storage will migrate data from OLD SAN to NEW SAN.
But even we restore VG and SAN data but since our old SAN is emc and new SAN is hitachi, so disk path for all the asm disk group will be changed.
So is there will be any way to rename this disk path for disk group..
We have oracle database 10g(10.2.0.4) running on AIX 5.1. we have installed 2-node RAC on another server AIX 6.1 . Now we want to migrate our single node database to new 2-node rac environment. how we can move/migrate/cluster-aware our single node database to 2-node rac?
We have a RAC in a test environment.It's 2 nodes connecting to an IBM DS3512. The DS3512 has one pool of 8 hard disks (RAID10) which has been then sliced into logical drives:
2 x 1GB then 2 * 400GB
I have been tasked with changing the current configuration as follow:
2 pools of 4HDs in a RAID10 configuration
Then from the first pool: 2 * 1GB 1 * 398GB
from 2nd pool: 1 * 400GB
What I intend to do: 1) shutdown SQL> shutdown immediate; ./srvctl crs stop 2) backup dd if=votingdisk of=voting_disk_backup I already got backups of OCR in $CRS_HOME/cdata/crs/ 3) Perform changes on SAN 4) recreate ocfs2 partitions 5) mount the disks to their folder. 6) recovery recover voting from backup recover ocr from backup 7) Turn service on again ./srvctl crs start SQL> startup;
Would this scenario work. There can be some glitches like the disk names changing after the reconfiguration but I only need to modify fstab for that.

I am planning a single instance database using Oracle 11gR2 Enterprise. The instance will run on OEL 5.5 which is on VMWare ESX 3. All disk space will be provisioned as VMDKs. The physical disk comes from a NetApp 7 controlled SAN with multiple disk arrays (one fast disk array and one slower disk array) using NetApp's RAID-DP (RAID-6).
Is there any benefit to using ASM in this single instance configuration ? It seems the data is already being striped, balanced, deduped, and (somewhat) protected by ESX, NetApp, and RAID-DP. NetApp SnapShot provides additional back-up options.
I am thinking without ASM, I could have one 1 TB LUN, say /u01, for the binaries, data files, and management files on the fast disk array and one 1 TB LUN, say /r01, for the flashback recovery area and all other recovery related files on the slower disk array. With autosize capabilities, any of the files can expand as needed up to the 1 TB capacity. 1 TB per disk array is the resource allocation for this instance.
With ASM, on the fast disk array I would have one 32 GB LUN for binaries and other files which must be outside of Oracle's CFS under ASM and then four 248 GB LUNs to create the ASM disk group DATA. On the slower disk array I would have four 256 GB LUNs to create the ASM disk group FRA.
Initial situation: Oracle 10g database single instance on Windows 2008 (datafile within NTFS partition) Final situation: same database upgraded to Oracle 11g r2 on a two nodes RAC on Windows 2008 (datafile within ASM)
In your opinion, is this the best way to achieve the job ?
1) on the two nodes install grid 11gr2, asm, rdbms 11g r2 (SE) 2) export full from 10g 3) create a new empty 11g r2 database in the RAC 11g r2 infrastructure with the same tablespace layout of 10g database 4) import full from 10g to 11g r2
We have an existing RAC on our Data Center and We have an IBM AIX that is designed to run a Synchronous Peer to Peer Remote copy(PPRC) that used to copy data to a remote site for Disaster Recovery Purposes.
Scenario will be,
Since that our Server from the DR site have a PPRC capability it used a remote copy of our ASM-RAC (from our Data center) as storage. Is it possible that we install a Single Instance to our DR-Site and used the copy of our ASM-RAC as storage?
i have created an another instance on a single machine i got error when starting up a new one - error starting up database in exclusive mode so i shutdown older database instance , to start new one now is it possible to run both instance parallel?
SO....: Win 7 64bits DB....: Oracle 11.2.0.3 EE 64 bits
In my notebook, i have 2 instances (orateste and ora11). They are all for testing purpose. I don't know what happened but, a problem in a partition of my SO made the Oracle software unavailable. I cannot start instance orateste. Even the windows service related to the instance have disappeared from services.msc. What i want to do is to restore only one tablespace from instance orateste to ora11. I have a full rman database backup from D-1.
1) Restore the entire database (orateste - 11.2.0.1) to ora11(11.2.0.3)?
2) Is there a way to restore only one tablespace, between instances and versions?
There is a Single Instance production server Oracle 9iR2 [9.2.0.8] OS HP-UX PARISC 11i v1 to RAC.
Now we want to migration this server with minimum downtime to Oracle 11gR2 [11.2.0.2] in RAC environment OS HP-UX 11i v3 Itanium DOwn time must be minimum. what will be the procedure ?
Brand new box, and I installed 11.1.0.6 (software only)
I have a brand new box set-up for a single-instance standby database, and I have installed 11.1.0.6 software only.
Do I need to patch 11.1.0.6 to 11.1.0.7 before I send a copy of the primary over to be set-up as a standby? If so, how do I patch 11.1.0.6 without having a local database in place as this server will only be used for a standby? Can patching the oracle_home only be done?
As you see in the following MY_DB_URL there are two hosts for one SID. This is works perfectly for oracle driver. When one of them is gone down, connection establishes with the other.
But i have a problem. Our partner uses Golden Gate product, and they said that they must install two different oracle with two different SID names. (For Example one of them is SIDNAME_1 the other is SIDNAME_2) So i can't use this URL in my application.
Is there a way to define a DB connection URL for two different SID names in a single URL?
