Oracle RAC

Hello

We have an Oracle RAC (11.1.0.7) with two active nodes on AIX 5. We plan to build a third node, working as a passive node.

This is may be possible?

Thank you!

Hello

Yes, you can add the third node to the cluster and keep it operational without any purpose. As Richard-1 mentioned, it is best to offer 3-node RAC and extend services through them. Unless you want a kind of DR? Having said that what you try to achieve?

Kind regards

  • Turning to Oracle RAC to the only Oracle database

    Hi all

    We are responsible for "make a copy" of Oracle RAC database a customer and our plan is to finish with the FCAC and allows you to host a new unique Oracle database. Very few of us familiar with CARS and looking for suggestions on how to do it (without affecting the source JAR).

    Can take a full expdb of the source database and simply use impdp to import into the standalone database server?

    Comments/suggestions appreciated.

    Thanks in advance.

    Can take a full expdb of the source database and simply use impdp to import into the standalone database server?

    It is an option. Data pump does not care if the source and/or destination is CARS or a mix. If the database is too large, it can take a lot of time to complete.

    Another option is to use the DOUBLE of RMAN feature. And another option is to restore the database from a backup.

  • Redo command of journal online in Oracle RAC

    Dear,

    If I have 2 Oracle RAC nodes:

    Node 1:2 Online Redo log groups (Group 1 and group 2) - each Member of a group

    Node 2:2 Online Redo log groups (Group 3 and group 4) - each Member of a group

    Would like to know when the switch occurs on the redo log groups, it moves the Group 1 to group 2, then return in the Group 1... or

    Group 1 to group 2, and group 3?

    Concerning

    Claude

    Each Instance has a Thread.  So the Instance on node 1 has 1 wire that consists of groups 1 and 2.  Redo all written by instance of node 1 will always be to groups 1 and 2 only.  Never to groups 3 and 4 (except if they fell and added to 1 thread)

    Similarly, the instance on node 2 will write for groups 3 and 4 only.

  • Oracle RAC and replacement of equipment

    Hello world

    next year our Oracle RAC (hardware) servers will be is more supported. We have a 2 node RAC (SE) running on Linux 5. For you, what is the strategy easier (and safer) to replace the equipment:

    • Reinstall complete with database exports / imports.
    • Adding new nodes to the cluster with new servers and delete 'old' (but it seems that the same version of operating system is required in accordance with the documentation).
    • Clone of the cluster according to the Oracle documentation on news servers.

    Thank you for all your ideas. I googled a bit, but I've not found much info.

    Carlos.

    • Adding new nodes to the cluster with new servers and delete 'old' (but it seems that the same version of operating system is required in accordance with the documentation).

    It's what I strive for. If your time with new nodes in the cluster is short (less than 24 hours), and you stay on the same distribution (i.e. OL5 to OL7), then several times, this isn't a problem. If you still have concerns and do not feel comfortable with this recommendation, then I'll recommend another avenue. I often used it when I was doing something similar for the production system was too critical to take no risk.

    1. Up new servers in a cluster. You can even start with the version of grid Infrastructure more later/more big who can save a future update maybe you.

      1. It will take a new OCR and voting disk new configuration.
    2. Attach the storage shared on the new cluster. For a short period of time, you will have storage mounted to both old and new.
    3. Install the RDBMS software on the new cluster. Wear on all the config files you might need more... tnsnames.ora, sqlnet.ora, etc..
    4. When you are ready to drop the database on the old cluster, cutting on the new cluster.
    5. Use "srvctl database add" to add the database to the new cluster.
    6. Use 'srvctl add instance' to add the instances to the new cluster.
    7. (Optional but normally a good idea), use 'srvctl add service' to add services to the new cluster.
      1. Steps 5 and 6 above usually use the same name of db, same instance names, same service name.
    8. You now have the database running on the new hardware. Stop the old servers

    The only other sticking point would be handling the SCAN and traditional VIP. When I made this drive, I usually my network guy change the SCAN VIP and traditional dignitaries to be alias in DNS that point to the new VIP.

    If you do your homework and have everything ready to go, the downtime can be less than 15 minutes for this approach.

  • Oracle RAC (physically separate buildings)

    Hello

    I would like to know who already had this experience to prepare an Oracle RAC in separate buildings.

    We have two data centers, and we intend to prepare two separate nodes physically in this building (each node in one building).

    Data centers are in the same city.

    Could this be possible?

    Thank you!

    This looks like an extended cluster, alias "stretched CARS." It's a reasonably normal environment, although there are some considerations. You'll need storage on each side with ASM mirror and a third independent unit (a NFS server is good) for a copy of the file with the right to vote. A 10 GHz ethernet link should be more than enough. If you need assistance configuring her, let me know

  • Issue of INS-35354 when installing Oracle RAC 12 on infrastructure Oracle Grid 12

    Hello

    I am trying to install Oracle RAC 12.1.0.2 one node installation on Windows Server R2 2012, but the installer told me:

    'Valid [INS-35354] the system on which you try to install Oracle RAC One doesn't not part of a cluster.'

    On the same server I have is installed and running Oracle Grid Infrastructure + ASM.

    I don't know what is missing the installation program, which is possible to register? The installation program does not provide which had not passed the specific audit.

    Thanks for the tips

    Georg

    Hello

    A CCR node does not mean that you install the grid infrastructure in a single node and install a base of a RAC data on this node.

    Basically, a concept CAR is similar to active passive clustering to provide high availability. To have a node database RAC upward and launched, you will have to install clusterware on at least two server by selecting the option during the installation of the IM.

    Pls follow the below post for detailed answer

  • Java oracle rac connection using scan url

    Hey,.

    Im trying to connect to an oracle rac using jdbc thin. When I use the analysis as the host

    Like this

    String url = "jdbc:oracle:thin:@// < scan >: port/servicename;

    I get error 1153, connection refused

    but when I use the ip address of the RAC instead of analysis

    the connection is successful

    is the issue at the level of the application? or is the problem with the server

  • Oracle RAC private interconnectivity problem

    Hello

    We set up Oracle RAC on RHEL 6.5.

    Our reference document is "deployment Oracle RAC 11 g R2 Database on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6" verion 1.0 of Red Hat Reference Architecture Series.

    According to the document.

    Two subnets have been used for interconnectivity.

    Two physical switches were used.

    rac.png

    My Question: I see that there is a connection between two switches. What is the purpose of this link?

    Please let me know example of configuration of Private Switch A and Switch B private.

    Thank you.

    Sajeeva.

    Because its use of redundant interconnection function because the function HAIP is officially called would say that networks need to be in different subnets. So, if we ignore the diagram above we'll finish with the following configuration:

    eth1 of each server that is running on the same subnet:

    Server1 - 10.0.1.1

    Server2 - 10.0.1.2

    eth2 of each server that is running on the same subnet:

    Server1 - 10.0.2.1

    Server2 - 10.0.2.2

    FAQ for IP highly available (HAIP) for version 11.2 (Doc ID 1664291.1):

    "Each NIC is defined as a cluster interconnect (using oifcfg setif) on a given node will have a static ip address assigned to it and each cluster NIC interconnection on a given node must be on a single subnet."

    The only advantage I see of HAIP, is that all your interfaces are active at all times where as with collage will be you almost end up with an active/passive configuration.

  • How to apply the PSU on Oracle RAC?

    Hello guys,.

    How about the Oracle RAC database without any stop PSU? (patch only database, not clusterware).

    Lets say I have 2 CCR node on different hosts with separate houses oracle/grid (no shared resources). What are the steps to avoid blackouts? I simply apply the last OPatch on grid/oracle homes, and then generate the oracle user ocm.rsp file and simply run as root: opatch auto/patch/path /-oh oracle_home - ocmrf /path/ocm.rsp and he will do everything for me on this node? then move service on node patched and do the same on another node? Oh, and there will be no interruption of service? Thank you!

    Gytis

    Hello

    Yes, the concept of a rolling patch is that the DB will always be upward, albeit on a node or another (or maybe 2 of 3, etc.)

    Check out this doc, spec 14.2.4 reduce planned downtime Maintenance

    Essentially an instance will come down in time. You can either manually a node patch or another, or well let Oracle patch bearing (but make sure you test it in the configuration of test first, if you have one, or else we put up with the same group of patches just in case).

    The idea is that the VIP relocate Node2, or if you use SCAN apps will detect node1 down.

    If possible, it is good to do this with a team Apps - ask them to move the connection with Betclic / application servers to the next node in the cluster, then the first patch (rolling patch), then exchange all node1 and make the node 2.

    The same steps apply for clusterware.

  • Need to understand the basics of Oracle RAC and grid technology, for training

    I need to understand the infrastructure Oracle RAC and grid, a manager / training perspective.

    I see links here and here , so a few questions:

    -What is the fundamental difference from the layman's point of view (for example, a Manager)?

    -What training options are available for a generic 11g DBA to learn this new technology? I've seen this course from a partner of Oracle ("" courses: Oracle 11 g: RAC and Grid Infrastructure Administration accelerated Release 2 ""), to a boat load of money, during 5 days I think.

    For a very basic definition, ACR is technology that is used by the database and IM is the infrastructure that makes the CAR work. In a response to the forum, this is probably all that can be said about the two. For a very long answer, you should read the links you cited.

    # 2, the course you are looking at is called accelerated because it combines two courses in one week training-RAC (4) and GI (3). So it's a day 7 curriculum that we would do in a 5 day course and who must justify its cost. But let me say, it's a really very good. But on the other side, it can be pretty intimidating to someone who does not already know these technologies. So I suggest that you send your team to each course individually and no doubt after doing some research. They can start to read the following books

    We have an expectation to top event 'parallel log file reading', and other types of waiting as 'log sequential read', 'log file sync '...

    When I check the size of redo log = 50 M, while in the old database oracle 10 g 2 (no CARS), the size of redo log = 150 M.

    So, I want to know if I should increase our redo log in our Oracle RAC database, or not?

    Should be again small use connect oracle RAC, oracle RAC without difference?

  • Change password for an Oracle RAC installation account

    All,

    I'm not an Oracle DBA, but currently I am asked to fill in until a certified Oracle DBA lights.  I work with MS SQL Server and have servers managed for some time.

    That being said, my question is probably a simple.  In the Oracle 11 g RAC 2 installation guide, it tells you * must * use an account that exists on both servers to install.  So far, so good, we have a domain dedicated to this purpose and no other account.  However, due to a recent change in policy, we must also change the password on this account on a regular basis (annual).  My question is, which, if it is, a will this affect on our Oracle RAC database facilities?

    If we simply change the password at the domain level, rather than to check the "must change password at next login", is this cause problems with our data?

    My inclination is no, we have no problems, because current services 'running' Oracle use the local NETWORK SERVICE account that will not be changed, but confirmation of this would be appreciated.

    Environment:

    Operating system: Windows Server 2008 R2 SP2

    Oracle: 11.2.0.2 and 10.2.0.4

    GRID: 11.2.0.2
