Doubts about RAC infrastructure with a disk array

Hello everyone,

I am writing because we have a doubt about the correct infrastructure to implement RAC.

Please, let me first explain the current design we use for storage Oracle DB. Currently, we are conducting multiple instances in multiple servers, all connected to a SAN disk storage array. As we know that it is a single point of failure so we have redundant controlfiles, archiveds and Orde in the table and in the internal drive of each server, in which case table has completely failed us 'just' need to recover cold backup nightly, applied hoops and Oder and everything is ok. This is possible because we have autonomous bodies and we can assume that this downtime of 1 hour.

Now, we want to use these servers and implementing this table to a RAC solution and we know that this table is our only point of failure and wonder if it is possible to have a RAC multi-user solution (not AS a node) with controlfiles/archs/oder redundant internal drives. Is it possible to have each written full node RAC controlfiles/archs/oder in drives internal and applies these files systematically when the ASM filesystem used for CARS is restorations (i.e. with a softlink in an internal drive and using a single node)? Maybe the recommended solution is to have a second table to avoid this single point of failure?

Thank you very much!

Fix. It is the right solution.

In this case, you can also decide to simply use the distribution on both tables and mirror of the array1 array2 on table data using the ASM redundancy options.

Keep in mind that the redundancy is also necessary for connectivity. If you need at least 2 switches to connect on two tables and two HBA ports on each server, 2 fibers running, one to each switch. You will need driver multichannel s/w on the server to deal with the multiple I/O paths for storing same lun.

Similarly, you will need to repeat this step for your Interconnect. 2 private switches, 2 cards on each server which are pasted. Connect then these 2 network cards on the 2 switches, one NETWORK card per switch.

Also, don't forget to spare parts. Spare switches (one for the storage and interconnection). Spare cables - fiber and everything that is used for the interconnection.

Bottom line - not a cheap to have a redundancy solution. What we can do is to combine the layer of Protocol/connection of storage with the interconnection layer and run both on the same architecture. Oracle database machine and Exadata storage to servers. You can run your storage Protocol (e.g. PRSS) and your Protocol (TCP or RDS) interconnection on the same 40 GB Infiniband infrastructure.

As well as 2 switches Infiniband are needed for redundancy, plus 1 spare. With each server running a dual port HCA and one cable for each of these 2 switches.

  • Reinstallation of Oracle 11 g 2 RAC grid problem - ASM disk group

    People,

    Hello.

    I want to install Oracle 11 g RAC 2 with 2 Virtual Machines (rac1 and rac2 which BONES are Oracle Linux 5.6) in VMPlayer.

    I was installing Infrastructure of grid using runInstaller in the first rac1 VM from step 1 to step 9/10.

    On 9/10 in the wizard step, by chance, I touch the mouse, and the wizard disappeared.

    The grid in the 2 VMs installation directory is the same: / u01

    I have to make sure that everything is correct, delete the directory/U01 to 2 virtual machines and install again the grid in rac1.

    I realized that this is not the right way to remove/U01. The right way is to follow the tutorial
    http://docs.Oracle.com/CD/E11882_01/install.112/e22489/rem_orcl.htm#CBHEFHAC

    But I have deleted/U01 and must correct one by one. I reinstall the grid and get the error message in step 5 of 9 as follows:

    [INS - 30516] Please specify unique disk groups.
    [INS-3050] ASM disk group empty.
    Cause - the installer has detected the name of Group of disk already exists on the system.
    Action - specify the different disk group.

    In the wizard, the old disk group name is 'DATA' and his candidate records (5 ASMDISKs) are gone. I try to use another name "DATA2", but no ASMDISKs are "candidate records. For "All discs", it is impossible to select all ASMDISKs.

    I want to use the same disk group ASM 'DATA' and do not want to create a new disk group.

    My question is:

    How to make previous ASM disks and his group of 'DATA' therefore "Candidate records" who can use again?


    Thank you.

  • Doubts about Weblogic Cluster and application deployment

    Hi all

    WebLogic...: 12.1.2

    ... OS: AIX 7.1

    We intend to create a Weblogic cluster at 2 knots in different sites to comply with the requirements of the customer HA. With this in mind im a few doubts began to rise:

    (1) this solution will have a server in site A Weblogic and an another Weblogic Server on site B, and we will create a Weblogic cluster with these 2 servers. It is equivalent to an Oracle extended RAC, but with Weblogic. Our link between sites is extremely fast, dedicated, with a latency of less than 5 ms. Is it possible and cost-effective to build such a solution?

    (2) regarding the deployment of the application, I would like to know if it is possible to deploy an application on Weblogic Server just on node A, and this application is automatically replicated on the Weblogic Server in site B? As far as I know, I have to deploy the application on both Weblogic servers manually.

    Thanks for the patience and attention.

    I run root.sh on the second node only after finished on the first node.

    In terms of VMware configuration, I've marked the disk.locking = "FALSE".

    It is obvious that the diskgroup CRS would be already mounted by the first node. DiskGroup "CRS" already mounted in a different namespace locking

    There is a that lock_name_space initialization parameter related to this, but that should be resolved by the YES itself the installation of clusterware/asm.

    Any help is welcome.

    Let know what would help more information

    stupid stupid control...

    had set ORACLE_SID as + ASM1 on both nodes.

    Set to + ASM2 on the second node and ran new facility...

    went like a breeze...

    I heard that it can also happen if the sys-network-config is not set correctly.

    for example. both machines using the same name, say rac1... NOT TESTED...

    It is very easy to miss one or two things with the help of VMware machine cloning.

    I have a list of such things

  • How to create RAID 5 with 6 disks?

    I'm new to vmware. My machine is currently running ESXi 4.1 but the RAID set up gives me no more disk space I was advice to remake the structure of the disc physically to have all 6 disks in RAID 5 and then reinstall ESXi. I'm doing, but I need a direction how to create RAID 5 with 6 disks. Can someone please help with this?

    Thank you

    SD

    Assuming you are using the integrated Smart Array 6i controller it should without a problem. If you can get into the BIOS of conreollers, you can also boot from Smartstart CD and use the ACU (Array Configuration Utility). The ACU has the advantage that you can split the RAID in several logical drives. I usually create a small logical volume (~ 10GB) for the installation of the hypervisor (ESXi) and another large logical volume to the VMFS data store.

  • Doubts about licenses

    Hi all

    I have a few doubts about the price of licenses.

    I understand, I can deploy an APEX Server 11g XE free of charge, but what happens, if I want to install, a version no XE?

    Imagine a billing application, for 10 users, and I will assume that a Standard is sufficient. With the help of [this price list | http://www.oracle.com/us/corporate/pricing/technology-price-list-070617.pdf], how much exactly will cost?

    I understand I can get a license by user or server, or I have to license user and server too?

    Kind regards.

  • Photos of virtual machines with multiple disks on different LUNS - Question

    I have some questions on how to manage the snapshots of virtual machines with multiple disks on different LUNS.  First of all, the LUNS are VMFS.  We are just starting to add virtual machines with dedicated for data storage format VMFS LUNS.  I don't think an extra space must be made for snapshots, as well as at least 100 GB LUN is required to store the data, and then say, add about 25 to 50% of this amount?  Set the 100 GB vmdk file but have the GB from 25 to 50 additional disk space for snapshots, if necessary (rather than just to get a unit number logic needed 100 GB of data and devote all of the 100 GB to the vmdk file).  In addition, if a virtual machine has several files vmdk on different LUNS, which will be a problem to take a snapshot, and is it possible to do just a snapshot of a disk of a virtual computer (as the volume of the BONE)?

    Thanks for any help.

    Snapshot files are created in the home folder of the VM by default for all virtual disks, no matter on what data store they are. You must make sure you have enough free disk space on the data store for snapshots.

    If you want to exclude a virtual disks of taking snapshots, you can set it to 'Independent' - 'Persistent' machine virtual settings to the HARD drive.

    I am looking to buy a Tecra M4. Toshiba provide a "correct" restoration method I have no problems with restore disks, but have had problems with windows restore sometimes. They provide a factory restore disc or I have to look at the creation of a Ghost disk.

    I need to know just if I can start lookging for a good approx. ghosting before buying.

    Thanks for any help in advance.

    Hi Robert,.

    Portable Toshiba computers are sold with an OEM "bundle" of the software. This means that you will receive either a CD/DVD that contains an image that can be restored to the full version of the software, or a file preloaded on your laptop from which you can create your own drive can be restored.

    This disk can only be used to completely restore your system to its original factory condition, and you cannot use it to selectively restore files or individual components.

    You can also receive a tools and Utilities CD/DVD that contains specific Toshiba provided to public services.

    If you want to create your own backup copy of your data/system files, then you will need to invest in one of the packages commercial (I use Acronis True Image myself) as well as an appropriate external environment (I use a USB hard drive).
