• Start & stop an instance RAC

  Hello

  I just created a 2 node 11 GR 2 database RAC, traditionally from databases not CARS I would just use sqlplus to start / stop the instance

  Q1. What is the recommended way to start / stop an instance in a RAC environment? Do you use a cluster to do command, or is sqlplus is acceptable?

  Q2. If you use sqlplus and more to stop an instance on a node, I presume that the cluster services is NOT as a failure and so don't try to restart the instance?

  Q3. similiarly what is the best way to start / stop a listener on a particular node?

  any help appreciated

  Jim

  Hello Jim,

  Q1. What is the problem with the status not reflected in the output of clusterware resource? Is it to do with the ability of Services to acknowledge a failure and restart the CLuster service?

  Response: The resource database is not parsed by SIR and if the database suddenly stops then none will try to restart the same.

  Q2. Regarding the automatic closing of a database in a CCR environment (as opposed to the manual method which I asked on-) if I simply turn off the cluster nodes of my will which in turn stops the Instances and close the database RAC itself (when the last Instance is closed)?

  For even if I turn on my knots, the first node start cluster, its instance and open the database?

  Answer: well, if you turn off your server then of course the database and stop anything else running on the server. When the server is under tension and if crs autostart is enabled then the clusterware stack will come with the server

  Q3. What is the difference between a Service and a resource of the cluster? Are the database, earphone etc services or resources? I'm just trying to understand why SVRCTL is used to manipulate the database and listener and not say CRSCTL?

  Answer: You can configure a service which is part of tree resources of database and the resource database is a parent for the same thing. Services are used to connect to the database. Database, (if added) services, asm, listener, scan etc are all the resources of the clusterware, which are monitored by the clusterware.

  You can refer to the Oracle documentation, which will give you more insight on these details

  When I have a parameter not valid, the I often resolve when the database does not open is to simply create a pfile the spfile file:

  sqlplus

  Connect / as sysdba

  create pfile='/home/oracle/pfile.txt 'to spfile='/u01/app/oracle/product/12.1.0.2/dbs/spfileorcl.ora ';

  Then use a text editor to fix the value of the parameter. When done, save the changes. Then create spfile from pfile this and you should be able to start the instance.

  create spfile='/u01/app/oracle/product/12.1.0.2/dbs/spfileorcl.ora 'to pfile='/home/oracle/pfile.txt ';

  startup

  I followed Note + ' Business Continuity for Oracle Applications Release 12 on Release 10 gr 2 - Single Instance Database and RAC [452056.1 ID]. +.

I have already mentioned Note: + troubleshooting when srvctl cannot start the RAC instance, but sqlplus can start [ID 844272.1] + and tried to solve the problem but without success.
  
  , I opened SR but still, the problem is not resolved. Are there steps I need to do that is not mentioned in Note 452056.1.

• Using Reporting SERVICES report server cannot open a connection to the report server database in SQL server 2008 R2 sp1

  Hello

  I'm running Reporting SERVICES Version 2007.0100.1600.022 ((SQL_PreRelease). 080709-1414 in Visual Studio 2008 with Microsoft SQL Server 2008 R2 Express Edition with Advanced Services (64-bit) on Windows NT 6.1 SP1.)
  Everything seems to work fine except that I can't deploy: "the report server cannot open a connection to the report server database."
  Connection test ReportServer as OK in the Configuration service report manager and Visual Studio. Run reports in Visual Studio against ReportServer and my other databases.  Deployment fails on a report of VM. Remote access is enabled in the firewall, pipes is enabled in configuration Manager SQL server, the permissions for all access in Windows.
  The error in the log file of report Service:
  Library! WindowsService_1! 12ac! 09/23/2012-21: 05:12: e ERROR: ServiceStartThread: Exception caught during the startup of service.

  Any ideas?
  Thank you.
  -Phil

  Just, I solved the problem I had.

  It turns out, there, there were two questions... first concealing the second.

  SQL Web browser has not been activated.  solution: in properties SQL server configuration manager, transformed the startup to automatic mode and activated the service.

  Microsoft Visual Studio project property targetdatasourcefolder had a server name that precedes the name of the folder. Removed the name of the server.  This works.

  Everything unfolds right now.

• Cannot open 2 Virtual Machines at the same time to access the same database

  People,
  
  Hello.
  I'm installing RAC Oracle Database 11 g 2 system with 2 Virtual Machines (rac1 and rac2) on top 3 VMPlayer.
  
  The VM rac1 and rac2 when one of them is stopped.
  Their locations are F:\VM_RAC\rac1 and F:\VM_RAC\rac2.
  
  
  I opened rac1 rac2 is running. But this error message appears:
  
  Error: "cannot open F:\VM_RAC\sharerac\asm1.vmdk drive or one instant records, that depends. Reason: cannot lock the file. »
  
  
  While rac1 running, I opened rac2. But this error message appears:
  
  Error: "cannot open F:\VM_RAC\sharerac\asm1.vmdk drive or one instant records, that depends. Reason: cannot lock the file. »
  
  
  2 error messages are the same. This means that I can not open 2and rac1 rac2 VMs at the same time. When we run RAC system, must open 2 "machines" or machines to more than 2 at the same time, so that all machines can access the same database server.
  
  My question is:
  
  Can all folk tell me how have rac1 and rac2 run at the same time?
  
  Thank you.

  Unfortunately no, Oracle RAC requires that all nodes can visit the same set of shared disks. If your database resides within the DSO, each instance ASM (one per node) must also see the same set of disks to ASM diskgroup containing the data of the database files.

• Cannot start Microsoft Outlook. Cannot open the Outlook window.

  I tried running Outlook.exe / resetnavpane because I see it worked for a ton of people - but I got the error message "cannot start Microsoft Office Outlook.  The command line argument is not valid.  Check the switch you are using.

  This is almost always due to:

  1. you have an older version of Outlook that does not have command line switch.  What version of Outlook you have?
  2. you have not put a space between "Outlook.exe" and "/ resetnavpane.

  Cannot start Microsoft Office Outlook. Cannot open the Outlook window.

• After the recovery cannot open database

  Thank you, Sai

  It seems to me that you would need to downgrade your DB to do this, since you move of 11.2.0.2 to 11.2.0.1.

  If possible, you should update your 11.2.0.1 11.2.0.2, re-attempt to restore server.
