Oracle 10gR2 RAC Installation in RedHat 5 Linux Using VMware.

Important points to install 10gR2 oracle RAC in linux5.

1.LINUX 5(Redhat 5) doesn't have /etc/sysconfig/rawdevices file. so we
have to configure it.
2. Edit the /etc/redhat-release version to redhat-4 and and to invoke
the runInstaller use the command
$runInstaller -ignoreSysPrereqs. //this will bypass the os check //
3. Next during clusterware installation at the end of root.sh in node 2
end with error message.So we have adjust the parameters in vipca
and srvctl files.
4. vipca will fail to run. so we have to adjust some parameters and
configure it manually.

rest of things are similar like RAC 11gR1 installation in linux5 using VMware.
please refer the documentation installing oracle 11gR1 RAC in LINUX5 using
vmware. if you have any doubts in my installation steps.

step 1: vmware installation

step 2: guest 0S (LINUX 5) INSTALLATION.
step 3: pre installation steps for installing clusterware.
step 4: Install Vmware tools
step 5: creating shared storage.
step 6: clone virtual machine.
step 7: Installing clusterware.
step 8: Installing oracle software.

Step 1.for vmware installation refer below link to install.

vmware_server_installation

Step 2.Guest Operating system installation: Redhat 5 Linux .

note: create tmp and swap with enough space.
Continue through the OEL 5 installation as you would for a normal server. A
general pictorial guide to the installation can be found here . More
specifically, it should be a server installation with a minimum of 2G swap,
firewall and SELinux disabled and the following package groups installed:

• GNOME Desktop Environment

• Editors
• Graphical Internet
• Text-based Internet
• Development Libraries
• Development Tools
• Server Configuration Tools
• Administration Tools
• Base
• System Tools
• X Window System
To be consistent with the rest of the article, the following information should be
set during the installation:
• hostname: rac1.localdomain
• IP Address eth0: 192.168.1.121 (public address)
• Default Gateway eth0: 192.168.1.102
• IP Address eth1: 192.168.2.131 (private address)
• Default Gateway eth1: none
You are free to change the IP addresses to suit your network, but remember to
stay consistent with those adjustments throughout the rest of the article.
Once the basic installation is complete, install the following packages whilst
logged in as the root user.
# From Enterprise Linux 5 Disk 1
cd /media/cdrom/Server

3. Pre Installation steps for installing clusterware and oracle software.

Oracle Installation Prerequisites
Perform the following steps whilst logged into the RAC1 virtual machine as the
root user.

The /etc/hosts file must contain the following information.

127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost

# Public

Add the following lines to the /etc/sysctl.conf file.

kernel.shmmni = 4096
# semaphores: semmsl, semmns, semopm, semmni
kernel.sem = 250 32000 100 128
net.ipv4.ip_local_port_range = 1024 65000
net.core.rmem_default=4194304
net.core.rmem_max=4194304
net.core.wmem_default=262144
net.core.wmem_max=262144

Run the following command to change the current kernel parameters.

/sbin/sysctl -p

Add the following lines to the /etc/security/limits.conf file.

oracle soft nproc 2047

oracle hard nproc 16384
oracle soft nofile 1024
oracle hard nofile 65536

Add the following lines to the /etc/pam.d/login file, if it does not

already exist.

session required pam_limits.so

Disable secure linux by editing the /etc/selinux/config file, making sure the
SELINUX flag is set as follows.

SELINUX=disabled

Create the new groups and users.

groupadd oinstall
groupadd dba
groupadd oper
groupadd asmadmin

useradd -u 500 -g oinstall -G dba,oper,asmadmin oracle

passwd oracle

Create the directories in which the Oracle software will be installed.

mkdir -p /u01/crs/oracle/product/10.2..0/crs
mkdir -p /u01/app/oracle/product/10.2.0/db_1
chown -R oracle:oinstall /u01

Edit the /etc/redhat-release file replacing the current release

information (Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server release 5) with the
following:

redhat-4
eg:
[root@rac1 ~]# vi /etc/redhat-release
redhat-4
Login as the oracle user and add the following lines at the end of
the .bash_profile file.

# Oracle Settings
TMP=/tmp; export TMP
TMPDIR=$TMP; export TMPDIR

ORACLE_HOSTNAME=rac1.localdomain; export ORACLE_HOSTNAME

ORACLE_BASE=/u01/app/oracle; export ORACLE_BASE

Step 4: Installing VMware tools

Login as the root user on the RAC1 virtual machine, then select the "Install
VMware Tools" as shown in below picture.
Once the package is loaded, the CD should unmount automatically. You must
then run the "vmware-config-tools.pl" script as the root user.
# vmware-config-tools.pl

Accept all the default settings and pick the screen resolution of your choice.
Ignore any warnings or errors. The VMware client tools are now installed.
Reboot the server before proceeding. After the reboot, it is possible the monitor
will not be recognised. If this is the case don't panic. Follow the instructions
provided on the screen and reconfigure the monitor setting, which will allow the
XServer to function correctly.
Shut down the RAC1 virtual machine using the following command.
# shutdown -h now

Step 5: CREATE SHARED STORAGE DISKS

creating a shared storage disks

ocr
votingdisk
asm1
asm2
asm3

here is a steps to create a ocr disk of size 1GB. follow the same steps to create
voting disk and asm disks.
select add hardware button and then select HARD DISK.
Click browse button to select the shared storage disk.
create a folder shared for storage storage and select shared and type ocr.

select allocate all disk button.

its very important to select Independent persistent
select virtual device mode scsi1
select optimize for performance

and then click finish after than you can see the new added hard disk
with size 1 gb and its properties.

Repeat the previous hard disk creation steps 4 more times, using the following
values:
 • File Name: votingdisk
Virtual Device Node: SCSI 1:1
Mode: Independent and Persistent
• File Name: asm1
Virtual Device Node: SCSI 1:2
Mode: Independent and Persistent
• File Name: asm2
Virtual Device Node: SCSI 1:3
Mode: Independent and Persistent
• File Name: asm3
Virtual Device Node: SCSI 1:4
Mode: Independent and Persistent
At the end of this process, the virtual machine should look something like the
picture below.

Edit the contents of the "/u01/VM/RAC1/RAC1.vmx" file using a text editor,

making sure the following entries are present. Some of the tries will already be
present, some will not.
disk.locking = "FALSE"
diskLib.dataCacheMaxSize = "0"
diskLib.dataCacheMaxReadAheadSize = "0"
diskLib.dataCacheMinReadAheadSize = "0"
diskLib.dataCachePageSize = "4096"
diskLib.maxUnsyncedWrites = "0"

scsi1.present = "TRUE"
scsi1.virtualDev = "lsilogic"
scsi1.sharedBus = "VIRTUAL"

scsi1:0.present = "TRUE"
scsi1:0.mode = "independent-persistent"
scsi1:0.fileName = "/u01/VM/shared/ocr.vmdk"
 scsi1:0.deviceType = "plainDisk"
scsi1:0.redo = ""

scsi1:1.present = "TRUE"
scsi1:1.mode = "independent-persistent"
scsi1:1.fileName = "/u01/VM/shared/votingdisk.vmdk"
scsi1:1.deviceType = "plainDisk"
scsi1:1.redo = ""

scsi1:2.present = "TRUE"
scsi1:2.mode = "independent-persistent"
scsi1:2.fileName = "/u01/VM/shared/asm1.vmdk"
scsi1:2.deviceType = "plainDisk"
scsi1:2.redo = ""

scsi1:3.present = "TRUE"
scsi1:3.mode = "independent-persistent"
scsi1:3.fileName = "/u01/VM/shared/asm2.vmdk"
scsi1:3.deviceType = "plainDisk"
scsi1:3.redo = ""

scsi1:4.present = "TRUE"
scsi1:4.mode = "independent-persistent"
scsi1:4.fileName = "/u01/VM/shared/asm3.vmdk"
scsi1:4.deviceType = "plainDisk"
scsi1:4.redo = ""

Start the RAC1 virtual machine by clicking the "Power on this virtual machine"
button on the VMware Server Console. When the server has started, log in as
the root user so you can partition the disks. The current disks can be seen by
issueing the following commands.
# cd /dev
# ls sd*
sda sda1 sda2 sdb sdc sdd sde sdf
#

Use the "fdisk" command to partition the disks sdb to sdf. The following output
shows the expected fdisk output for the sdb disk.
# fdisk /dev/sdb
Device contains neither a valid DOS partition table, nor Sun, SGI or OSF disklabel
Building a new DOS disklabel. Changes will remain in memory only,
until you decide to write them. After that, of course, the previous
content won't be recoverable.

The number of cylinders for this disk is set to 1305.

There is nothing wrong with that, but this is larger than 1024,
and could in certain setups cause problems with:
1) software that runs at boot time (e.g., old versions of LILO)
2) booting and partitioning software from other OSs
(e.g., DOS FDISK, OS/2 FDISK)

Step 6: CLONE THE VIRTUAL MACHINE

The current version of VMware Server does not include an option to clone a
virtual machine, but the following steps illustrate how this can be achieved
manually.

Shut down the RAC1 virtual machine using the following command.
# shutdown -h now

Copy the RAC1 virtual machine using the following command.

# cp -R RAC1 RAC2

Edit the contents of the "/u01/VM/RAC2/RAC1.vmx" file, making the following

change.
displayName = "RAC2"

And then follow the steps as below:

Edit the hostname to rac2.localdomain
#vi /etc/sysconfig/network
and
#hostname rac2.localdomain
#vi /etc/hosts
check the public,private and virtuals ips are correctly configured.

Start the RAC1 virtual machine and restart the RAC2 virtual machine. When
both nodes have started, check they can both ping all the public and private IP
addresses using the following commands.
login as oracle user
ping -c 3 rac1
ping -c 3 rac1-priv
ping -c 3 rac2
ping -c 3 rac2-priv

Configure SSH on each node in the cluster. Log in as the "oracle" user and
perform the following tasks on each node.
su - oracle
mkdir ~/.ssh
chmod 700 ~/.ssh
/usr/bin/ssh-keygen -t rsa # Accept the default settings.

The RSA public key is written to the ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub file and the private key to
the ~/.ssh/id_rsa file.

Log in as the "oracle" user on RAC1, generate an "authorized_keys" file on

RAC1 and copy it to RAC2 using the following commands.
su - oracle
cd ~/.ssh
 cat id_rsa.pub >> authorized_keys
scp authorized_keys rac2:/home/oracle/.ssh/

Next, log in as the "oracle" user on RAC2 and perform the following commands.
su - oracle
cd ~/.ssh
cat id_rsa.pub >> authorized_keys
scp authorized_keys rac1:/home/oracle/.ssh/

The "authorized_keys" file on both servers now contains the public keys
generated on all RAC nodes.

To enable SSH user equivalency on the cluster member nodes issue the
following commands on each node.
ssh rac1 date
ssh rac2 date
ssh rac1.localdomain date
ssh rac2.localdomain date
exec /usr/bin/ssh-agent $SHELL
/usr/bin/ssh-add

You should now be able to SSH and SCP between servers without entering
passwords.

Before installing the clusterware, check the prerequisites have been met using
the "runcluvfy.sh" utility in the clusterware root directory.
while running this you will get unsuccessful message no need to worry about
this. ignore this only for vmware setup testing and education purpose, testing
time no need to worry.
/home/oracle/clusterware/cluvfy/runcluvfy.sh stage -pre crsinst -n rac1,rac2 -verbose

Step 7: Installing Clusterware Software

Install the Clusterware Software

Start the RAC1 and RAC2 virtual machines, login to RAC1 as the oracle user and
start the Oracle installer.
$cd clusterware

To install 10gR2, you must first install the base release, which is 10.2.0.1. As
these version of OS are newer, you should use the following command to
invoke the installer:
$ runInstaller -ignoreSysPrereqs // This will bypass the OS check //
note: Edit the /etc/redhat-release file replacing the current release information
(Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server release 5 ) with the following:
redhat-4

./runInstaller -ignoreSysPrereqs
change the clusterware directory
if you didn't edit the redhat-release file,you will get error here, and it checks
for required rpm packages.

add the rac2 host information

change eth0 to public
NEXT ,the ocr disk information, actually i forgot to take the snapshot
select external redundancy and ocr disk location: /dev/raw/raw1

For voting disk

select external redundancy and voting disk location:/dev/raw/raw2
first run /u01/app/oracle/oraInventory/oraInstRoot.sh in RAC1 after
completion run it in RAC2
Second run /u01/crs/oracle/product/10.2.0/crs/root.sh in RAC1 after
completion run it in RAC2
while running root.sh in RAC2 NODE it ends with warning message. so
follow the below steps

No such file or directory

Also, srvctl will show similar output if workaround below is not implemented.

edit vipca (in the CRS bin directory on all nodes) to undo the setting of
LD_ASSUME_KERNEL. After the IF statement around line 123 add an unset
command to ensure LD_ASSUME_KERNEL is not set as follows:
if [ "$arch" = "i686" -o "$arch" = "ia64" -o "$arch" = "x86_64" ]
then
LD_ASSUME_KERNEL=2.4.19
export LD_ASSUME_KERNEL
fi

unset LD_ASSUME_KERNEL <<<== Line to be added

Similarly for srvctl (in both the CRS and, when installed, RDBMS and ASM bin
directories on all nodes), unset LD_ASSUME_KERNEL by adding one line, around
line 168 should look like this:
LD_ASSUME_KERNEL=2.4.19
export LD_ASSUME_KERNEL

unset LD_ASSUME_KERNEL <<<== Line to be added

Remember to re-edit these files on all nodes:

/bin/vipca
/bin/srvctl
/bin/srvctl
/bin/srvctl

after successful editing of files vipca and srvctl files in bin folder of CRS_HOME
directory.

run ./vipca to configure virtual ip manually you will get this error.

vipca will fail to run with the following error if the VIP IP's are in a non-routable
range [10.x.x.x, 172.(16-31).x.x or 192.168.x.x]:
# vipca

still have the OUI window open, click OK and it will create the "oifcfg"
information, then cluvfy will fail due to vipca not completed successfully, skip
below in this note and run vipca manually then return to the installer and cluvfy
will succeed. Otherwise you may configure the interfaces for RAC manually
using the oifcfg command as root, like in the following example (from any
node):

click ok button.
it wills gives the error. follow the steps. dont click next button.

login as root user in node RAC2,

/bin # ./oifcfg setif -global eth0/192.168.1.122:public
/bin # ./oifcfg setif -global eth1/192.168.2.132:cluster_interconnect
/bin # ./oifcfg getif

The goal is to get the output of "oifcfg getif" to include both public and
cluster_interconnect interfaces, of course you should exchange your own IP
addresses and interface name from your environment. To get the proper IPs in
your environment run this command:
/bin # ./oifcfg iflist

[root@rac2 bin]# ./oifcfg setif -global eth0/192.168.1.122:public

[root@rac2 bin]# ./oifcfg setif -global eth1/192.168.2.132:cluster_interconnect
[root@rac2 bin]# ./oifcfg getif
eth0 192.168.1.0 global public
eth0 192.168.1.122 global public
eth1 192.168.2.0 global cluster_interconnect
eth1 192.168.2.132 global cluster_interconnect
[root@rac2 bin]# ./oifcfg iflist
eth0 192.168.1.0
eth1 192.168.2.0
[root@rac2 bin]#

And then run vipca.

/bin # ./vipca
click next

click next
enter rac1-vip.localdomain
click the retry button
[root@rac1 bin]# ./crsctl check crs

step 8: Installing oracle software

follow the same steps given in the below link. except invoking
runInstaller.

Start the RAC1 and RAC2 virtual machines, login to RAC1 as the oracle user and
start the Oracle installer.
To install 10gR2, you must first install the base release, which is 10.2.0.1. As these version of
OS are newer, you should use the following command to invoke the installer:
$ runInstaller -ignoreSysPrereqs // This will bypass the OS check //

./runInstaller -ignoreSysPrereqs

On the "Welcome" screen, click the "Next" button.
