Failed to install EAT on system

Am evaluating the Infoscale Availability tool. While install over RHEL6.4(On VMware) getting error says that "Failed to install EAT on system". Tried to install several times after proper uninstall and getting the same. Tried to install on single server option even the same error. Can anyone point how to resolve this issue.

    Hi,

     

    I think you're still not get the concept of a cluster volume or cluster file system. There is only 1, yes, 1 volume / file system. It is shared between both hosts and it is accessed in an ACTIVE/ACTIVE manner by BOTH hosts.

     

    This is achievable via ASM or CVM (Veritas).

     

    So in the same guide you can refer to the CVM instructions.

     

    Let me know if you need consulting services to set this up via PM.

    Hi,

     

    What do you mean with "the tables/data created in one server is not replicated in another server"? Do you have replication? 

     

    In a regular local cluster there is no replication, the disk with the Oracle Databases is shared between the nodes. When a failover happens, the disk is moved from one node to the other, and then oracle is started.

    Hi,

     

    Ok, you never mentioned that you're using Oracle RAC. You need infoscale enterprise, its the same installation media, but a different license cost/key.

    You can follow this guide http://origin-download.veritas.com/resources/content/live/DOCUMENTATION/SFDC/000109266/en_US/sfrac_config_upgrade_71_lin.pdf

     

    FYI, the solution you describe does not use replication. The data is not replicated, there is only 1 set of data, and both servers access it simultaneously via ASM.

    Yes. Its resolved. For user creation skipped secure mode to get it done. But currently facing issue on service group creation. Could see severation docs doing different approch. My requirement is my application need HA setup with failover including DB data movement. Any steps are there to create service groups and etc.

    Hi Riaan,

    Thanks for the pointer. I have made a setup for oracle(not our application binaries installed) and fail-over is happening on the processes very well if anyone server is down. but the tables/data created in one server is not replicated in another server.

    My setup as follows:

    We have created our own oracle rpms(bundled from Oracle 11g rpms) with configurations required for us. installation takes place under /opt/New_Test1/ directory including databases. Also our is getting installed under /opt/New_Test2/ directory. our bundled oracle doesnt has ASM libraries and few other configuration tools for creating ASM disk groups/file systems etc.,

    How we can proceed to replicate the data as well on fail-over.

    * Whether need to create ASM disk groups-> install oracle binaries and DB files on that file system(not under/opt/New_Test1/)

    * Whether any option without ASM to replicate the data like bit by bit file modification transfer between systems?

    Any realtime example steps available will help us on this.
