Will VIP Failover To Second Node
Jun 27, 2012
What is expected behavior for VIP on Linux servers? ( 2-node RAC)
1.When entire RAC stack is running, and one node is rebooted or crashed? Will VIP fail over to second node?
2.When one node RAC stack is contained (crsctl stop crs), shutting down RAC stack on remaining node? What happens to the VIP and Scan IP?
3.When RAC stacks are down on both nodes, one node has VIP on (eth0:1), reboot this node. What happens to the VIP?
We see some behavior in scenario 3, but don't know why the VIP was moved to second node as all Oracle processes are down.

I am trying to design a database consolidation high-availability cluster for Oracle 11g R2 64-bit Enterprise Edition (X86-64) on Oracle Linux 6.x UEK, using Oracle 11.2.0.3 (the latest as of Aug 2012).
We don't need RAC Multi-Node now or in foreseeable future because none of the databases we run break the capacity of a single node. Likewise, we don't need to use Oracle VM to virtualise the database instances.
We plan to use SGA and PGA memory management to run multiple instances on same hardware operating on a single Linux 64-bit O/S image.Does it sound ok so far?
Two or three of 4-socket, 40-core Intel 64-bit servers with 512GB of RAM each (relatively cheap at today's HW commodity prices) will be sufficient to run all Oracle databases we have on Linux 64-bit.So the two HA options that I know of are:
(1) use Oracle Clusterware/Grid/ASM to provide for instance failover
(2) use Oracle RAC One Node on top of Clusterware/Grid/ASM
As I understand it RAC One Node is significantly more expensive than the "free" Oracle Clusterware/ASM/Grid (since we own Oracle 11.2.0.3 Enterprise Licences already). So why should my employer pay for RAC One Node licence given they already own Single Instance Fail-Over and Restart protection from Clusterware/Grid/ASM ?
I also read that Data Guard 11.2 may not be supported with RAC One Node on 11.2? True? Will same Data Guard 11.2 work with a Single-Instance Failover running on Clusterware/Grid/ASM ?
-Who is running RAC One Node? Why?
-Who is running Single Instance Failover with Clusterware? Why?
-Who is using Data Guard with either of the above?

In my production -- we have 3 nodes Primary RAC with 2 Nodes Physical secondary Standby RAC. Due to some reason we will have to failover means 3 nodes Primary Standby RAC to 2 Nodes secondary physical Standby RAC. share Steps for Failover ( not switchover) from 3 Nodes Primary RAC to 2 Nodes Physical Standby RAC. I know this is generic and can be find from google but issue is how can failover from 3 nodes primary standby rac to 2 nodes secondary physical standby rac.

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 believe, in a multiple RAC Physical Standby nodes only one node applies the archivelogs to the standby database. How you can find which node is the APPLY NODE using a SQL query?
I know you can veiw this information by querying the standby configuration using DGMGRL but how would you find out this information from a remote client using SQLPlus/PLSQL?

I am installing Oracle 10g Clusterware in RHEL 5 Server. When i run root.sh in the second node the last step Running vipca(silent) for configuring nodeapps failed. Then i run VIPCA manually in second node and configured vip configuration successfully,but when i checked the post-checks for cluster services the Checking existence of VIP node application,Checking existence of ONS node application and Checking existence of GSD node application in second node failed. I am able to ping both the servers one another with vip name successfully and the CSS,CRS and EVM appears healthy in both nodes. 1. Does the vip configuration is proper? If no what is causing this error and how to rectify it? Find the output below

I would like get more details about single node RAC.. What is single Node RAC?..
1). just configure only one server instead of two node... same RAC installation.. cluster installation and shared disk configuration in single server itself.. in future we can add node to this ...
2). in 11gR2 having new feature Single Node RAC.. Multiple instances running on same node and configure using Cluster...
is there any advantage using single node rac(other than online upgrade to full RAC).

I'm trying to add the third node to my existing two node cluster. In fact i succeded adding the node but i have the following problem:
-when i start node 1 and 2, everything is ok, but on node 3 startup one of the other nodes fails
-this happens in any combination: start 1 and 3, everything is ok. when i start node 2, node 3 fails
The asm configuration (disks, permissions, etc) is the same on all three nodes.find below the asm and crsd log details from the failure time:

I am very new to data guard...I have a primary and a physical standby database...If the primary got crashed, are the users directly switched to physical standyby (is it automated) or the DBA has to manually do the fail over or switch over....is it the same concept as in RAC like TAF....How can the DBA know that the users are disconnected from the database.....explain with some steps...
the version is 10.2.0...

configure correctly my application, Oracle is version 11R1
My physical configuration is :
Site 1 (main building)
database on cluster : server1, server2
database : BASE1 available
Site2 (Backup Site)
database on cluster : server3, server4
database : DGBASE1 not available for users (dataguard)
I want to acces BASE1 first in load balancing server1,2 (normal usage) and DGBASE1 in load balancing server3,4 in case of failover after 5 retries of 10 secondes (in case of main buiding out of order, DGBASE1 will be available for users)
This is my actual setup :
(DESCRIPTION_LIST=(FAILOVER=ON)
(DESCRIPTION=
(ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=TCP)(HOST=server1)(PORT=1234))
[Code]....
My trouble is that with this configuration, access it randomly BASE1 or DGBASE1 but DGBASE1 is not available for users then I have failure
What could be the right configuration to obtain BASE1 first in load balancing (normal usage) and DGBASE1 in load balancing in case of failover of the BASE1 after 5 retries of 10 secondes ?

I can see that some failover events etc aren't supported (Differences between the ODP.NET Managed Driver and Unmanaged Driver), but is failover supported at all? I don't need to get notified, just to get the failover (clustered node switching) working. Is it supported in the managed driver?

CentOS 6.4 64bits Oracle......: 11.2.0.4 64bits
I am running some small tests here in my test env, using dataguard. I have configured the Primary and Standby with Maximum Availability... they're running just fine. Now i want to execute a failover test (i have already ran a Switchover test with the Broker successfully).
My question is very simple, at my point of view: What are the required steps to execute a successful manual failover? For example, i have my env as follows:
- Primary: prim1
- Standby: stdb1
Suppose that the primary database crashes in an unrecoverable way... is this case a manual failover would be necessary.
To do so, i would have to execute the following command, in my Standby database:
-- stdb1 is the standby database... DGMGRL> failover to stdb1
The above command is correct? Are there any required configurations after the failover? I read the Oracle Docs, and it says

if it is possible to create a failover setup without RAC and DG...For example:
I have 11.2.0.2 database (with EBS 12.1.3) on dbnode1...I would like to create another node to failover my primary datbas in case of any failure.
Steps i will follow:
1: creat dbnode2
2: install same os as dbnode1
3: install same oracle as dbnode1
4: share dbnode2
database between dbnode1
and dbnode2
Now, if hardware fails on dbnode1, can i manually failover and start my database on dbnode2?
I know we can do with RAC and DG,BUT without RAC and DG If not possible..

How connect-time failover is setup.
I am following lab instruction from my Oracle Admin Workshop book. The exercise is to create a 2nd listener to support connect-time failover. I have two listeners up and running. I connected the second listener using Static Database Registration in OEM, and then I started it.
When I looked in the listener.ora file, I was expecting to find the entries for FAILOVER=TRUE but it is not there. Both listeners are designed to connect to the same instance 'orcl'.
My questions:
1) Is the FAILOVER entry supposed to be done automatically when the second listener is created ? or is it always a manual entry ?
2) How can I test that it is working ?

My Data Guard 's Enviroment:
Primary: 11.1.0.7 RAC 2 Nodes
Standby: 11.1.0.7 Single Instance
I want to implement Fast-Start Failover at my enviroment. Reading requirements, I found that Oracle Flashback is needed (I don't use Flashback on my databases).
Best Practices recommends 60 min (1 hr) for DB_FLASHBACK_RETENTION_TARGET if I just want to use Flashback to fast-start failover.
My questions:
What 's better, setup up flash recovery area on ASM or O.S. filesystem?
What is the recommended size for flash recovery area?

I have this box that runs a dataguard observer in a test lab.
Is there a way to configure connect time failover and connection timeout in the connect identifier used by DGMGRL? It does not seem to respect the parameters I supply.
This is what I used for TNSNAMES connection string:
DB=
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS_LIST =
(FAILOVER=ON)
[Code].....
When the hosts are up, if the instance is not running, I really get a quick reply from DGMGRL. However, when some host is not available, it can take quite a while to get an answer, minutes..
=
I though I could use
(TYPE=select)
(METHOD=basic)
(RETRIES=5)
#(DELAY=1) # defaults to 1 when retries is set
in the connect_data section, but this does not seem to have an effect
=
I also tried ' (CONNECT_TIMEOUT=5)' in the ADDRESS_LIST section
=
So assuming that Oracle NET services are not available on the hosts. What can I use to make 'dgmgrl' report that it can't connect to the host quickly ? Should I look into the TCP timeout parameters ?

I want to apply patch for the 3 node rac database. I am going to use rolling upgrade, one node at a time. For this i need to stop all the instances or any processes running out of $ORACLE_HOME. I will use srvctl stop home command. My concern is:
1) with the srvctl stop home command how the instances shutdowns, either shutdown immediate or shutdown abort.
2) if applications are connected to the shutdown node, will the sessions fail over to surviving nodes?
3) If it is shutdown abort, how session failover?how about long running queries ? will they also fail-over?

I have a situation where I want to configure primary database (11.2) with 2 remote destinations. dest_2 is the default and points to a standby on host_2. However, I also want the primary db to continue transporting redo to dest_3 on node_3 when node_2 is taken down (planned or unplanned).
1) Configure the ALTERNATE attribute of dest_2 to point to dest_3.
2) Configure tnsnames client-side failover on primary host to point to 2 nodes (node_2 and node_3).

Dataguard and RMAN.
Got Active DataGuard on a primary database, quite nicely sending its archive logs to its secondary. I can quite happily use the Broker and switchover between them.
Now if I take RMAN backups of the primary database, if I have to failover to the secondary, I'm gonna loose all those backups.
Well, I can restore the whole database to the backup, cos I can restore the control file, from the backuip and therefore I can restore the whole db.
But if I want to restore to a tablespace, I wont be able to , cos the db_unique_names names are different, and the DB ID's will be different.
Same goes if I use a recovery catalog....
so how do I failover/switchover without loosing my previous rman backups ??

working on setting up connection between a Windows 2008 server and a pair of Oracle 11g DBs in a RAC Cluster. One Database (let's say DatabaseA) is in one data center, and the other (DatabaseB) is an a secondary, backup database. The RAC Cluster is all set up, working fine, etc. However, I Need to set up the machine.config file on my Windows Server, to go only connect to DatabaseA, unless it fails, in which case, we want it to connect to DatabaseB. Think we could do this if the host app server was Linux/Unix, but it is windows, and I just don't have the background as to the parameters to set up in the machine.config file. They are similar, but different, and we want a very specific behavior (use DatabaseA, unless fails, then DatabaseB). Application is .NET 4.0 app.
