11g Question: Stand alone database vs single node cluster

We are about to create a new 11.2.0.3 database that will eventually become a 11.2.0.3 in cluster database. Our host servers are hardware IBM pSeries AIX 6.1 running. We will use just Oracle Clusterware and not IBM HACMP. We also plan to use ASM for database storage. The plan is ultimately to have a 2 or a 3-node cluster, but currently, we have only an AIX server available to us.

My question concerns our initial approach to the installation.

It is preferable to install the Oracle database as a stand-alone database first and then convert the database to a RAC cluster as soon as we have the material for the second node? Or would it be better to create the cluster with a single node and install and configure grid Clusterware for a single node cluster and then add the second node when the material becomes available?

I apologize if my explanation is not very clear. Any notice will be considered and appreciated. Thank you.

If you are planning to ACTIVE/PASSIVE here database my option:
{message: id = 10138477}

If you are planning in the future use a RAC database:
{message: id = 10142640}

If you plan use CARS in the future, you can install Oracle Clusterware without worry about licenses.
Oracle Clusterware can serve to protect any application (reboot or otherwise on the application failure), free of charge, if one or more of the following conditions are met:

  • At least one of the servers in the cluster is allowed for the Oracle database (SE or EE)
    http://docs.Oracle.com/CD/E11882_01/license.112/e10594/editions.htm#CJAHFHBJ

    If you ARE database Oracle or EA (i.e., not one SE), you can install the product Oracle Clusterware and Oracle RAC (EE to buy the RAC Option) in a node later you can stretch clusterware adding additional nodes, and more database instance.

    You do not need to create a RAC database, you can create a single database (i.e. Non-RAC) on OH software Oracle RAC using DBCA.

    Although I prefer that you create a database of CAR Policy-Managed database... which makes the dynamics and the automatic (i.e. managed by Clusterware) creation/deletion of instances. You will use a POOL with a knot... later you can add more nodes in that POOL... Oracle Clusterware/PAP automatically create undo/redo/instances on the new nodes added to this POOL.
    All this is transparent to your customers of Oracle.

    Oracle Grid Infrastructure for a stand-alone server (Oracle Restart) is an option only if you plan used to one node. If you are using more than one node... Start with Oracle Grid Infrastructure for a Cluster (Oracle Clusterware).

    Hope this helps,

    • DataGuard (activate a physical standby as a stand-alone database database)?

      Hi all

      Can I please ask advice on how it would activate a physical database ensures for 11.2.0.4?

      Note - I do not want to return the "standby" to watch again...

      Note 1 – I don't have (and don't use flashback technology to do this) - so I can't use a watch "snapshot"...

      Note 2 - the 'primary' current cannot be touched.

      Something like below?

      Repeat stop applies to pending

      SQL > alter database recover managed standby database cancel;

      Stop redo pending transaction logs.

      PRIMARY

      SQL > ALTER SYSTEM SET LOG_ARCHIVE_DEST_STATE_2 = DELAY;

      Activate and open the database physical sleep.

      Physical STANDBY

      SQL > ALTER DATABASE ENABLE PENDING DATA base;

      SQL > STARTUP MOUNT FORCE;

      SQL > alter database base_de_donnees ensures together to improve performance;

      SQL > ALTER DATABASE OPEN;

      Concerning

      It wouldn't affect Production (primary). It's just the steps of failover.

      The same applies to the role transition, but in a role transition, you must first pass at the primary level of Eve and the day before, you must run the digital switchover to make primary.

      You could refer to this https://docs.oracle.com/cd/E11882_01/server.112/e41134/role_management.htm#SBYDB4769 you would get to the difference of the steps for the passage and failover.

    • Oracle Database Express Edition used in a stand-alone database

      I have developed databases for years in access. I had a lot of people want me to databases for them. I don't want to make databases in access and then have to worry about sending a database to a different State and then find out that the user has a different version of access installed and it does not work properly.

      Can I use Oracle database Express edition to create a database with a front end that I can send to others and they can install on their computer and run it? Or do need to install the full Oracle Express? In other words, is there like a version of the Runtime?

      user13756579 wrote:
      I saw that you had to install twice last night, messed up my password. The only thing that that worries me is the database always current running on the user's computer, when well even that they could not use the database for months at a time. These databases are of small databases to keep the data of the members of the group. That is to say. name, address, phone number, personal information and perhaps a scanned document or two.

      I have looked at other database programs, but won't put a lot of money if I could develop only 3-5 small databases annually.

      You can develop your application in such a manner, that it will start service Oracle XE and stop it at the exit. Set the service to start manually. That's all.

      That's if you want all references of this machine 'dbhost' or 'dbhost.mydom.com' to resolve to address IP 192.168.1.101 and all references of this machine to 'dbhost2' or 'dbhost2pc.mydom.com' to resolve the IP 192.168.1.100.

      Is it mandatory to have the first line with "127.0.0.1..."?

      No, it can be anywhere in the hosts file. Strictly speaking, it is not yet mandatory to have at all, but as the poster said, if you delete it, some features may be lost.

      All net communications should go down to an IP address. The hosts file is nothing else that a mechanism to map a name to IP address. This allows you to return a destination by name, and really, this name can be anything you want. Resolving to 127.0.0.1 ' localhost' is a universal standard which depend on some process.

    • Another issue duplicate RMAN - RAC database to single instance

      Hello

      I have a problem with RMAN duplicate procedure and hoped that someone can help you.

      I would like to create a duplicate of our data base RAC production on a separate and autonomous, database on another site server. This duplicate will be used to execute queries to another business unit that I don't want to have access to our database of intensive production.

      My procedure goes like this:

      1. create a (not ASM) disk based backup data files and recovery logs archived:

      'run {} '.
      allocate channel d1 type disk;
      backup format ' / u02/stage/df_t%t_s%s_p%p' database more entered archivelog delete;
      output channel d1;
      }"

      2 tar and scp those files to the same location on the standalone database server.

      3. in the meantime, work that's happened on the basis of data production and other archived redo logs have been generated. I don't really care about these papers for the purposes of the duplicate however, I just want to replicate to the point of the last backup. I have to do this, run the following SQL to determine the sequence number should I be duplicating up to:

      "Select max(sequence#) thread # v $ archived_log, whereas the deleted = 'YES' group by thread #;"

      4 duplicate the production to the stand-alone database database (SQL Net work orders).

      'run {} '.
      until the sequence (the value returned by the SQL statement above);
      duplicate target database xxx;
      }"

      However, my problem because I don't know how to handle the fact that he has two sons. I understand that each thread relates to one of the CARS, I don't know which one to specify the copy. We have a service of data that the client application connects through, and that the service runs on any of the bodies. I should just care about newspapers in the instance where the service is running?

      AM I even approach that this is the right way?

      I look forward to any help that people may be able to offer.

      Kind regards

      You must use the VALUE until and specify the sequence with the next lowest change, or RMAN will search for the next log in this thread.

      for example, if you specify until the thread in the sequence 9750 1; RMAN will search journal 7933 on thread2 to catch the 1 wire SNA 569259816.
      Specify the set as a thread in 7933 2 sequence; and two copies must go ok!

      Hello

      Yes. I recommend you use DBCA to create a database.
      Start DBCA on node where the database will be created, and then choose the option "Single Oracle Database Instance". I have no course if the database is automatically added on rock, but I think so. (pretty obvious)

      If you created the database manually (IE without DBCA) then you must add the OCR database using "srvctl.

      $ srvctl add database -d   -o  -c    -x    -p  
      
      Where:
          -d       Unique name for the database
          -o          ORACLE_HOME path
          -c                 Type of database: RAC One Node, RAC, or Single Instance
          -x            Node name. -x option is specified for single-instance databases

      I use stand-alone device simulators (not of JDE or Eclipse according to) to test an application on multiple platforms.

However, for these simulators autonomous, that I can't find anything like that under the folder, they were installed in. I tried to reset, and I tried to uninstall and reinstall the Simulator itself, and yet the data is * really * persistent - won't go away. Of course it's stored somewhere else.

      Vista virtualizes the app directory in "Program Files" when an application tries to write.

      You can find the files in your Users in AppData directory.

      Click on the C: drive in Explorer, and then look for *.dmp.

      It's probably something like c:\Users\jaybb\AppData\Local\VirtualStore\Program Files\...etc...
