BECAUSE a node: downtime after HW-power outage?

Hello
A CCR node seems to be a good alternative to a "regular" CARS
Since we have no experience with a CCR node we are currently available literature and try to get a picture of the advantages/disadvantages.
An important point is the question "what exactly happens when a HW failure or outage occurs? It is my understanding - and what Oracle has documented - providing the Oracle Clusterware failover protection for Oracle RAC one node. If the node fails, Oracle Clusterware automatically detect the failure and restart the Oracle RAC database a node on another server in the pool.
In our case, we would have the active node in Datacenter 1, the passive node in the data center 2. So if the node in Datacenter 1 fails, the database should start on node 2 data center.

Now my questions are:
-who really automatically will be?
-What happens to the sessions that have been connected to the database before the HW failure?
-is it possible to determine how long will take this failover?

I'm sure someone has already tested this situation - any help will be appreciated.

Hello

Now my questions are:
-who really automatically will be?

Yes, automatic and transparent

-What happens to the sessions that have been connected to the database before the HW failure?

Depends on if you use emotive connection will be redirected to another node, if you have cold failover, the client will be a short downtime.

-is it possible to determine how long will take this failover?

Dependent failure, but normal (could failover) is on range from 1 to 3 minutes, using (emotive - Hot failover) without interruption.

Maybe this can clarify your questions.

Ask any question.

Kind regards

PS: Ignore use of emotive if you have 'downtime after HW-break. " Consider only cold failover.

  • How to restore user account missing when the connection after that power outage occurred?

    Windows XP Media Center edition PC was carried out at the time of the power failure, which lasted about 2 hours.  When turned back on, it was missing the user account on the XP login screen.  However, after logging another user, all the files seem to be present, but the system restore will return to another point, and the same username cannot be recreated (it says it is already used).  How can the user be restored?  Thank you!

    I fixed it!  I copied a solution to another user in the forum:

    1. click on the Start button.
    2. go to control panel and choose switch to Classic view (if not to this point of view).
    3. double-click on Administrative Tools.
    4. double-click on computer management.
    5. on the left, click area to expand local users and groups.

    6. click on groups.

    7 double-click on administrators.

    8. click the Add button to add the user missing to the list.

    It restored the user to the logon screen.

  • Border in black screen HP Mini 210, screen shifted downwards - problem after power outage

    HP Mini 210-1000 actually it's HP Mini 210-1060 EV PC

    Some specifications:

    Display: 25.6 cm (10.1 ") diagonal WSVGA LED HP BrightView Infinity Widescreen Display (1024 x 600) SUBMISSION

    Battery has been dead for a long time.

    My display drivers and BIOS have been recently updated from the HP website.

    After a power failure and a reboot, the screen looks weird. It was moved about an inch down with a black border at the top, on which the mouse won't and the task bar is not visible, as is the bottom of the screen.

    When I go to the screen resolution in Windows by right-clicking on the desktop resolution is set at 1024 x 768, when I click on advanced settings, the monitor tab, monitor is set as a Monitor (1024 x 768 60 Hz) generic Non-PnP.

    When I change to 1024 x 600 it seems blurred and stretched vertically, but the screen is always shifted down with black border on top.

    When I get the Intel graphics settings I can make the same changes as in the dialog Windows (640 x 480, 800 x 600, 1024 x 600, 1024 x 768).

    In image format Options when I select full-screen (non-frontiere) the black border is fixed but always tense vertical screen but the screen is cut down with no visible taskbar.

    Graphics driver reinstalled so that some Type Monitor of windows drivers, nothing changes.

    When I turn on the laptop, the screen HP Quickweb appears also as a 1024 x 600 stretched vertically without black border at the top but will disable the display down.

    It seems that Windows and Hp Quickweb see at 1024 x 768 60 Hz display after the power failure.

    Before that, I had installed Windows updates, but nothing on the display drivers.

    I only got a point system restore leave on earlier that day (very low disk space?) but that did nothing.

    Guess it is a registry/driver issue since no pixel is bad and the black border on top is set in image format Options when I select full-screen (sans-bordure). Any suggestions please?

  • Satellite A10 dies after the power LED blink

    Hello

    I have a problem with the power supply of my Toshiba Satellite A10. Sometimes, after the computer sat for some time, I have a problem with the power. The "plugged power cable" - LED will start to blink and shortly after, the computer just dies.

    It can also have the time to go into a lower energy state before he does. When it happened once, it will most likely happen also when I restart the computer, but after a much shorter time. WXP won't even have time to start. If I stop to select the source of start-up, the problem will occur anyway, this isn't the software. It should also be noticed that when the computer is not turned off, the 'smart power' - is on correctly.

    I know that my battery is not very good. Completely loaded, the computer can run for maybe 3 minutes with only the battery. I know that I must have a battery connected, even if I use the power cable, but this occurs even when the mine problem. The battery would be pretty bad not even allow me to use the computer with a cable?

    It should be added, that sometimes I can use the computer for long periods of time without this problem to happen. I also have a problem with the battery not being not properly in physical contact with the pins of the computer, but this isn't the problem here, because I have the same problem with the battery removed and me holding the battery in place.

    Thank you for your help.

    Hello

    You description is very long and detailed and it of still not easy to say what's wrong.
    Usually, the DC-In witness lights up green when DC is provided FRO the AC current. If the output voltage of the adapter is abnormal or if power outages, this indicator flashes orange.

    So I think that is your AC adapter malfunctions or there is something wrong with the electronic power supply on the motherboard.

    Good luck with it.

    Download the ISO on the provided link and do a repair of the disc.

    Go to your Bios/Setup, or the Boot Menu at startup and change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order, then reboot with the disk in the drive.

    At the startup/power on you should see at the bottom of the screen either F2 or DELETE, go to Setup/Bios or F12 for the Boot Menu.

    When you have changed that, insert the Bootable disk you did in the drive and reboot.

  • We had a power outage, when I tried to re start my computer that I seem to be in a loop

    Often, a power failure will result in the corruption of the hard drive that can prevent your computer from starting properly.  Often, simply perform a 'chkdsk' with the /f or/r (chkdsk C: f) option on the hard drive will fix the problem.  Given that your machine does not start, you must run Chkdsk from the Recovery Console or start your machine from a CD for example bootable BartPE or Ultimate Boot CD for Windows and perform the chkdsk operation

  • After a power cut my PC is in a loop in the start windows normally, safe mode, last known good configuration screen

    After a power failure when I start my PC, it gets to the screen... "We apologize for the inconvenience, but windows did not start successfully... When I try to reboot in one of the 5 modes to start normally, safe mode, safe mode with command prompt SafeMode with network, last known Noah correct configuration of their work and the loops of the computer to this sreen repeatedly.

    KB307545 is a very bad idea to begin with - especially after a power failure (and it's usually just a very bad idea).  You don't describe symptoms suggestive of a need to run the KB307545, but, I'm not a Microsoft Support engineer so don't hesitate if you are forced to do, and I wish you good luck.

    What you need to do, is start in the XP Recovery Console and run chkdsk/r first.  Is is possible that the blackout damaged your NTFS file system and a chkdsk/r is to clean it.

    Provide information on your system, the better you can:

    What is your system brand and model?

    What is your Version of XP and the Service Pack?

    Describe your current antivirus and software anti malware situation: McAfee, Symantec, Norton, Spybot, AVG, Avira!, MSE, Panda, Trend Micro, CA, Defender, ZoneAlarm, PC Tools, Comodo, etc..

    The question was preceded by a loss of power, aborted reboot or abnormal termination?  (this includes the plug pulling, buttons power, remove the battery, etc.)

    The afflicted system has a working CD/DVD (internal or external) drive?

    You have a true bootable XP installation CD (it is not the same as any recovery CD provided with your system)?

    Sometimes, when XP has a problem starting or falls down and tries to start again, it will give you a "short" menu of boot options and none of them will appear to be good to get your system going again.  You have tried them all!

    The options are similar to the Advanced Boot Options menu XP, but the only option that you need (disable automatic error system reboot) are not offered, because XP went too far during the boot process and offers a limited number of boot options.

    If this is the case, you must call Options menu advanced boot yourself until you do not see the option:

    Disable the automatic restart in the event of system failure

    When you get the XP Advanced Options correct start menu you want to see, he has options on it like these:

    Safe mode
    Safe mode with networking
    Safe mode with command prompt

    Enable Boot logging
    Enable VGA mode
    Last good Configuration known (your most recent settings that worked)
    Directory Services Restore Mode (Windows domain controllers only)
    Debug mode
    Disable the automatic restart in the event of system failure

    Start Windows normally
    Reset
    Return to OS Choices Menu

    You need to choose in this menu is the option:

    Disable the automatic restart in the event of system failure

    Then if XP does not start normally, you will see an error screen with information and clues about the problem and then you can decide what to do next.

    If you do not see the automatic restart on system failure option turn it off, you must reset your system and start typing the key F8 on the keyboard until you see her disable automatic restart on system failure option.

    If you miss the window of opportunity F8, you must try again and start tapping the F8 key with more urgency (earlier and more frequently) until you see disable automatic restart on system failure, and then select.

    You must keep trying the F8 menu until you see disable automatic restart on system failure option, and select it.

    If your system has a Blue Screen of Death (BSOD), we need to know what the screen says:

    Here's a BSOD example showing information you provide:

    http://TechRepublic.com.com/i/tr/downloads/images/bsod_a.jpg

    Send for the nose and the Red arrows (3 to 4 lines total).

    Send all * line STOP message since there are clues in the 4 parameters.

    If it looks like there is some kind of name listed in the STOP message file, send this line also.

    Ignore the boring text unless it seems important to you.  We know what a BSOD looks like, we need to know what your BSOD looks like.

    Answering queries and results report of the disable automatic restart on system failure screen and you can decide what to do next.

    See what the BSOD said would be interesting, but I would still recommend that you run chkdsk /r from the XP Recovery Console to make sure your file system is not damaged.

    Answer the questions and we can see what to do next.

    If you have not saved your data and you want to start the computer with Linux Livecd such as Knoppix and copy your data files on an external hard drive. It is a precautionary measure before the step follows because things happens. ;-)

    Then do a repair installation.

    If the repair installation does not work, test the equipment to ensure that none have been damaged during the blackout and then do a clean install of Windows.

    If all goes well, no equipment was damaged during the shutdown. Consider buying a power supply (battery backup). APC and Belkin are good; for a computer, simply spend about $60. MS - MVP - Elephant Boy computers - don't panic!
