• 10g R2 no RAC-database unique Instance to upgrade to 11g R2-2 node RAC database

  Hi all

  I have a requirement for my client.

  We have a three databases with replication between them activated by MV & MV connects to the 10 g R2 database.

  This must be upgraded to Database 11g R2 with a 2 RAC node.

  Please tell us how to get started and go.

  Also please notify once upgraded to database 11g R2, how replication can be achieved.

  Thank you

  > We have to first upgrade to 11 g R2 Instance unique and then move on RAC - node 2

  You must install the grid Infrastructure for Cluster and RAC database software in the new cluster.

  Then upgrade the database as a single instance database.

  Then, convert it to the RAC

  See http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E11882_01/rac.112/e17264/install_rac.htm#TDPRC185 for the conversion of the measures.

• How do I add the new database to RAC 10 g 1

  Hello, guys!

  I'll migrage RAC 2 - nodes to a new hardware (virtual machine is), but I don't know how to do this.

  Guys, please, can you me the migration steps?

  I was thinking about this:

  (1) I install clusterware on 2 new nodes.

  (2) restore database backup rman (production system)

  (3) is not sure how to register restored the database on the new cluster

  Thanks in advance.

  You must first reconfigure init.ora (for all instances) with the new configuration, as remote_listener local_listener, instance_number cluster_database...

  After that, you must save the database and everything what you bodies

  srvctl add database d o Pei

  srvctl add instance d -i - n

  srvctl add instance d -i - n

• Migration Oracle RAC to the new data center

  Hi all

  We are 'legacy' Oracle 11 G RAC cluster from another company and I am looking for a way to migrate with the minimum of downtime. Our team has no CARS, nor database administrator Oracle also experience.

  We intend to test the migration by cloning the environment a few weeks before and just see if everything is OK.

  Question is, what is the best way to migrate this RAC cluster and it's data to a new data center? Reinstallation of the operating system (Linux) and recreate the RAC cluster are not an option I want to examine.

  For example, in the land of SQL Server, we can use sending newspapers or replication to keep a copy of the database in the new data center as close as possible direct database (data-wise). Date of commissioning, we stop the direct instance, run last restore log or something else, then set up the databases on the new data center.

  Thanks in advance.

  Data Guard. It is the name of "log shipping" feature Oracle. It's probably closer to always on SQL Server availability groups, except that the Oracle database is a large group.

  I speak not Active Data Guard which is an extra cost that gives options on top of Data Guard.

  HTH,

• Want to migrate the database (4node RAC) size of 4 TB of 10.2.0.5 at 11.2.0.4 on the new servers where the new type servers Primary (4 nodes) and Eve (4 nodes).

  Want to migrate the database (4node RAC) 4 TB size of 10.2.0.5(8 rompt = 4 prim/4 veille) to 11.2.0.4 on the new servers where the new type servers Primary (4 nodes) and Eve (4 nodes).  So with minimum downtime I have restore and recover again on 11.2.0.4 server must then clone that to create the day before.   Here, my question is can I take 0 backupp level before hand and restore on target (new) then primary at the time to leave the downtime take backup of level 1 of 10g and then retrieve it on 11g (new server) after successful recovery I'll perform clone to form eve of database on the new server. does this strategy work? If it works, can someone suggest me steps how can I need recover with backup after restoring the backup of level 0 on 11g. Like should I upgrade before you retrieve it with level 1 backup or I can update and then recover with the level 1 backup from the old server to the new server.

  Here is former servers of RHEL 5 version and new servers are RHEL 6 release.

• Install RAC 11 GR 2 and apply the patches with the new Option of software updates YES

  Anyone tried the installation with the new Option of software updates?
  
  I'm going to install grid RAC 11 GR 2 and I intend to do the following steps:
  (1) install the Oracle Grid Infrastructure 11.2.0.2 patch group
  (2) make all configurations with YES
  (3) create ASM disks
  (4) install Oracle Database 11.2.0.2 software only
  (5) apply recommended patches 11.2.0.2.2 Oracle (12311357) and 12431716. (Ref. MOS doc [756671.1 ID])
  (6) create the RAC (advanced option) with DBCA database
  
  With these steps:
  Grid and ASM disks would be configured without the recommended patches, but the database will be created with applied patches.
  
  I would not do a "Software only" install IM and then apply the patches because later I would have to manually do all the configuration steps.
  
  If I use the Option of YES software updates to apply patches, YES makes the adjustment, and then I would set up the GRID with YES?
  
  Quote from Oracle® Setup Guide Network Infrastructure 11 g Release 2 (11.2) for Linux - E17212 number of part-11:

• Configuration of the laptop for R12 with node 2 11g RAC database

  Hi all
  
  I plan to buy a new computer dell laptop XPS to install Oracle Apps R12 with node 2 11g RAC DB by creating virtual machines.
  
  Configuration:
  

  generation of Intel processor i5-2410 2 (2.3 GHz, core 2, 3 MB cache)
  8 GB RAM DDR3
  750 GB HARD drive

  this configuration will be sufficient for the highest installation? RAM? Processor?
  
  I've read a few threads over on this forum where people have recommended for installation of single application (11i or R12), this kind of configuration can be enough.
  
  Please answer.
  
  Thanks in advance.

  This configuration will be sufficient for the highest installation? RAM? Processor?

  You need at least 4 GB for installation on a single node R12. So, if you plan to have 3 VMs (1 application node) and 2 RAC nodes or 4 virtual machines (2 application and 2 RAC nodes), then I suggest that you add more memory. However, your RAM should work, but don't expect (if you go with 3 VMs) but do not expect the performance to be perfect.

• Oracle 10g RAC + ASM + Data Guard: Question on the new disk group.

  Hello
  
  One of our clients is to have Oracle 10 g RAC + ASM + Data Guard. Database is the disk DATA_DG1 group and FRA is on FLASH_DG1. Data Guard is a single instance on ASM.
  
  To add more space, we can create another disc of the Group DATA_DG2 on Prod ASM and Data Guard ASM env, replication continues without any problem. Will be archiving logs shipped to the second disk DATA_DG2 group and applied without any configuration changes?
  
  Rgds,

  Yes, it sounds great.

  You should be fine with the implementation of these measures and the dataguard should continue on as usual.

  Just make sure that you are dealing with a physical standby that has not the conerts file name defined.

• Oracle 10g RAC, add node - no jobs for the new server

  Dear all,
  
  We want to add a new node (say node5) to our current RAC 10 g 2 (on Solaris 5.9 operating system). While trying to set up ssh as detailed in the http://download-uk.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/install.102/b14205/presolar.htm#BABJBAEB documentation, I found that node5 is able to ssh to all other RAC nodes, but none of the existing nodes is able to ssh without password node5. Further investigation shows that node5 cannot do a ssh to himself without a password.
  
  Can you please help me to solve this problem.
  
  Thank you

  Another point was found:

  Check the permissions of directory on X11R6. They should be 700. Set them accordingly and try again.
  I had the problem without password ssh was not possible until this that/home/oracle has been set at 700.

  Also check your system log file (/ var/log/messages) to find errors SSH.

• Group ID is different in the then 11203 upgrade RAC node

  Hello

  DBA is the main group in all 3 nodes but whose different group ID. cluvrfy shows that the IDs are different between the nodes.

  Different group on 3 nodes IDS will cause no problems during the upgrade? Let him know I'm stuck to the top in the middle of the upgrade.

  Thank you

  NR

  oinstall group of stock oracle should be the main group for oracle (and network user if you are the separation of the roles nuer)

  Yes, the group ID and user ID must be the same on all nodes. It was a sine qua non the same for Cluster 10.2 Installation.

• Help, please! I can't select the shape I drew with the pentool again... I have the selected layer, but there is no sign of my new shape in my path Panel?  I have been sitting here for days literally and simply cannot make it appear the race that I created

  HI - can help I'm going crazy! !

  I drew a shape with the tool pen (which took me Age..) and I go back an image that I imported, I cannot select once again it.  I can see it in red, but I'm not able to select once again it.  I have the selected layer, but there is no sign of it in my Panel of traces at all.  I tried clicking on the direct Selection tool (about 100 times), I tried the Brush tool.  I've tried everything.  The same thing happened to me the other day...    Please can someone help!  Tania

  It's the plug technique on the subject:

  Using Photoshop | Manage paths

  It contains this point under manage paths:

  When using a shape or pen tool to create a work path, the new path appears as the work path in the tracks Panel. The work path is temporary; You must save it to avoid losing its contents.

  OK, the red, you mentioned is a Stoke you added. Then quick mask is not involved.

• 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.

  See you soon,.

• Oracle RAC 11 g 2

  Dear gurus,

  I'm relatively new to the RAC clusters and hoped someone could help me out here...

  We have an oracle 11 GR 2 CARS running on a cluster of 3 nodes (all in a case, Cluster of interconnection running on infiniband switches).

  We want to replace the machines running with new ones, also replacing the infiniband with switches passthrough.

  My plan was as follows

  step 1 - MAJ running cluster interconnect with ethernet interface and unloading of infiniband switches

  step 2 - Add the oracle software prepared new nodes or machines to the cluster running

  step 3 - remove the old machines in the cluster (script deletenode)

  Step 4: install switches passthrough and passthrough interface connecting pole shift.

  Is this plan ok? Perhaps a better approach is also possible?

  I also have a few questions for RAC...

  1. travel of the current cluster interconnect with local Interface... I have in total, 2 Ethernet ports per blade both in a single bonded interface, the public network of oracle running here... Can I move the cluster of interconnection on the same servile interface? or am I forced to have another Ethernet port?

  2. everything in preparing the new machines to add to the cluster running, I have to have the SAME GRID and DB version? Or only the same version of GRID?

  -the current versions are 11.2.0.1 for grid and DB. Can I add this group machines that have the same version of grid (11.2.0.1) but a more recent version of the db (11.2.0.3)?

  Thank you

  Hello

  You don't need a separate option for dataguard.  If you use Oracle Enterprise Edition, you can use the free dataguard feature.

  http://docs.Oracle.com/CD/B28359_01/server.111/b28294/standby.htm#i72073

  Oracle Data Guard is available only as a feature of Oracle Database Enterprise Edition. It is not available with Oracle database Standard edition.

  I would not have thought that the GI version would be useful to the dataguard.

  As long you run IG at 11.2.0.3 and the BDD to 11.2.0.1, you should be fine.  You can't physical datagurd through different versions.

  http://docs.Oracle.com/CD/E11882_01/server.112/e10700/standby.htm#i72053

  The same version of Oracle Database Enterprise Edition must be installed on the database and all data pending

  Is it possible to convert this database to a cluster RAC 11g on the existing server, or what I need to first install the Clusterware grid and then migrate the database to the new cluster?

  If the cluster and the cluster software are not present, these components must be installed and configured.
  The Oracle RAC option must be added by using the Oracle Universal Installer, making it necessary to the existing DB instance must be stopped. Consider that the disks are already in stock, otherwise data (database) must be migrated to the storage.
  There is no necessary changes on the user data in the database.
