Public VIP Address: An interface that can be used for communication with components external to Oracle RAC instances, such as Oracle Net and Virtual Internet Protocol (VIP) addresses. We can change VIP with any outage. Advanced Queuing Using Oracle's Advanced Queuing with JMS - Advanced Queuing Working Example - Advanced Queuing Working Example - (PL/SQL Scripts with Detail) Introducing Oracle Advanced.
Installing 1. 1g RAC on Linux VM: Install Oracle Clusterware. Previous: Copy/clone this virtual machine to create second node and modify host details. The clusterware or database installation needs to be started only on one node since it will propagate the files to remote node automatically during the installation. If you have the setup files on your host machine, you can share the setup folder to the VM using VMWare or Oracle Virtual. Box shared folder option. Following screen shows how to share a folder to VM using VMWare.
This can be done even when the VM is online. The files which you share using above option will be available by default at /mnt/hgfs/ directory under Linux. Now let us start the Oracle Clusterware installation. Login with oracle user (grid owner). You can change the values as you want but make sure to use same values as you entered if required in other screens.
Cluster Name: dbhost- cluster. SCAN Name: dbhost- scan. SCAN Port: 1. 52. It will validate the name entered for SCAN. Since we have started installation on node. Now we need to manually add another node in the cluster.
Click Add. Enter hostname and VIP name for second node. Click Ok. Now both nodes will appear on the screen. Make sure to select both values and then click Next. It will do various tests including ssh connectivity, node readiness, user equivalence and check for existing public/private interfaces on the hosts. It will detect eth. This is exactly what we want. If not detected automatically, set as above and click Next.
VMware Virtual SAN is a radically simple, enterprise-class shared storage solution for hyper-converged infrastructure optimized for today’s all-flash performance. Create software-defined shared storage for virtual machines. Download the pdf version of the article here. Introduction: This is a series of articles which contains several important enhancements to Automatic Storage Management in Oracle 11gR2. In this part1, we are going to prepare.
Select Shared File system and click Next. Important Note: Since having normal redundancy increases the load on VM to make sure NFS communicates and keeps all these files in sync all the time, we might face issues during normal run of the Oracle RAC. So please select EXTERNAL REDUNDANCY which means that you are going to mirror this disk using external methods. Though we are not using any external mirroring here but still for the non- production and learning purpose we can take this risk. Enter following value in External Redundancy box. Click Next/u. 01/storage/ocr.

Click Next/u. 01/storage/vdsk. Select Do not use IPMI and click Next. We have selected dba for all the above groups, you can choose different if you wish to. Click Next. If you chose dba as all above groups, you might see above message box, click Yes.
Enter following values and click Next. Oracle Base: /app/oracle. Software Location: /app/1. Enter /app/ora. Inventory for the Inventory location.
Click Next. You might see above failed pre- requisites. We have specifically not applied the above pre- reqs just to show you that now Oracle will generate a script to fix all required pre- reqs in this screen where the value in column “Fixable” is Yes. Regarding physical memory and swap, we can ignore these.
Click on “Fix and Check Again” to generate the fix script. It will show above screen with location of runfixup.
Check Ignore All. Click Next. Review the summary and click Finish to begin installation.
If you wish you can save the response file as follows before clicking on finish. After installation is finished on node 1, it will propagate the files on node 2. After which it will need to run some scripts as root user. Run first script on both nodes and then second script on both nodes. ONLINE 9. 1ce. 08c. ONLINE 4. 4f. 4d. ONLINE 6. 0b. 10b.

Click Next. Click Close to finish the installation. Verify that the cluster services are started properly on both nodes. Create Virtual Machine and install 6.

Setup shared file system and other pre- requisites. Install Oracle Clusterware. Install Oracle Database software and create RAC database.
