• Oracle Grid Infrastructure for a stand-alone server - licensing

  Is a separate license required for the Oracle Network Infrastructure when you use Oracle Grid Infrastructure for a stand-alone Servicer?  I compare it to non-GI installation where the database using cooked file systems for storage, and so only the database is allowed.

  Env:

  
  

  • Oracle 11 g grid infrastructure
  • Standalone database: Oracle 11.2.0.4 64-bit Enterprise Edition

  As other posters have suggested, better check with Oracle.

  in respect of infrastructure of grid / search "components of Oracle Grid Infrastructure.

  It would be useful to check around popularity of ASM / GI on windows. I worked between some flavors of * nix & Windows, ASM is great, but not a huge number of Windows installs that I have come across seem to use it. I'd certainly * nix however if (even if not!) considering the DSO. Sit together much cleaner

  Using RAW could be the problem. I'm not sure someone who has used Virtual Box with raw disks for their RAC testbed. Most people use ASM. I've seen a few people use NFS as well. You'll also want to stay away raw because that which is frowned upon in 11.2. See http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E11882_01/install.112/e41962/whatsnew.htm#RILIN931

  Under the Options deprecated for Oracle RAC 11 g Release 2:

  "Installation of files on raw devices is no longer an option available during installation. You must use a shared file system, or using Oracle Automatic Storage Management. »

  Not even close. Did you google 'dhcp '?
  See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dynamic_Host_Configuration_Protocol

  In short, DHCP is a method by which an IP address is assigned to a computer dynamically - especially at the start of the server, but can also be reset on a running system. Isn't a good thing for a server machine, because the client process will never be able to find it.

  You want your servers to have a fixed IP address.

• 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.

  Hello

  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?

  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,

• Setup of SCANNING using the file/etc/hosts

  DB version: 11 GR 2
  Operating system: Sun Solaris 5.10
  Node 2 Rac
  
  
  I've done all the configuration of connectivity hardware/software/SSH for the installation of RAC. Now I have connected as a user of grid and try to install the clusterware ('Grid Infrastructure')
  
  I have implemented Public IP and IP private for nodes according to the oracle documentation. We do not have DNS for these nodes. So we thought to use the file/etc/hosts.
  

  Node1's: Public IP : 10.80.143.214
  Node1's: Public IP : 10.80.143.215

  Question1.
  When I ping 10.80.143.219, it wrong; which means that this IP address is not allocated (not used by any node), so I tried to add the following entries on the file/etc/hosts of two nodes

  10.80.143.219  danube-scan.scott.com  danube-scan
  10.80.143.219  danube-scan.scott.com
  10.80.143.219  danube-scan  

  None of the above worked, and I kept getting

  INS-40718: Single Client Access Name (SCAN) name:string could not be resolved.

  Can someone show me how as the SCAN entry next to the file/etc/hosts?
  
  Question2:
  The file/etc/hosts, how Setup identifies that a particular entry of the IP and host name is intended for ANALYSIS. If the word "scan" to be present in the SCAN entry?
  
  Question3:
  The grid Setup will prompt you for
  1. name of the cluster
  2 SCAN the name
  3. port SCAN
  
  For a Cluster name. I can give any name that I love. Right?
  
  
  Question4.
  
  SCAN name must belong to a domain of DB as (scott.com as shown above). Cannot create a database RAC 11 GR 2 without belonging to a field of DB?

  Hello

  Try ping this host of the danube-scan in any army, this command must resolve this name in all hosts.

  That is to say: the server does not respond to the PING, but must indicate the IP address.

  Check...

  The 10.80.143.219 IP address must be the same subnet in the public network.

  This section below should be/etc/hosts in all hosts in the cluster.

  the danube - danube-scan scan.scott.com 10.80.143.219

  To configure your host to perform searches in hostname to host files, change the line that starts with hosts: to include the keyword files. For example, if your file /etc/nsswitch.conf hosts line looks like:

  hosts: files dns

  Change it as follows:

  hosts: files dns

  The order of keywords on this line indicates the order in which made Solaris reference the name of services. Keyword files represents the file/etc/hosts.

  Kind regards

  I am running vCAC 6.0, I noticed that on my identity server's host name is not COMPLETE and I also noticed that I have big fingers DNS server settings.  I can fix this in the user interface and I confirmed that the/etc/hosts and /etc/resolv.conf have been updated correctly.

  However, if I reboot the server all restores the original files.  Same thing if I modify the file manually with VI.

  I saw exactly the same thing with vCOPs.

  Any ideas?

• How to include external files when generating Setup for a stand-alone executable file?

  Hello

  I tried to build a standalone executable from my Labview project and I've been able to do successfully.  Now I would like to include a few external .txt files in the installer. These .txt files have parameters and constants that will be used by the program, and my program needs to load / read them during execution.  For now I have to manually copy / paste them into the machine targets, but I really hope that the installer can do it automatically.  In my view, there is a folder "data" in the Setup, and that's where I hope that these .txt files can be added in.

  How can I do? Can anyone give me some suggestions? Thank you!

  So instead of connecting to gnome or kde, you log in vmware player (which is the only application that you start at this session.

  Create a new user. Example: vmplayer

  Next, create a file in this /home/vmplayer/.xsession home directory

  nano /home/vmplayer/.xsession
  

  Add this information in the file.

      #!/usr/bin/env bash
      /usr/bin/icewm &
      sleep 3
      exec /usr/bin/vmplayer -X /home/vmplayer/VirtualMachine/vm.vmx
  

  Now make it executable

  chmod + x .xsession

  Make sure that it is owned by vmplayer

  chown vmplayer.vmplayer /home/vmplayer/.xsession

  This has been discussed in the Format of Linux magazine.
