VCS Oracle cluster failover without using Oracle Agent
We would like to have VCS control serverfailover(Active/Passive Cluster)but not register our Oracle databases to VCS, but rather have them be restarted by the standard Oracle restart scripts (which read the oratab file) from the Oracle installation. Is there a writeup on how to accomplish this ???4.4KViews1like10Comments
Using VCS Resources to Mount NFSv4 Exports
Hi all, I have a two node VCS cluster running on RHEL 5 (VCS version 6). I need the cluster to use the Mount resource to mount an NFSv4 exported FS from a NetApp filer. I couldn't find any information in the documentation on how to perform this, as the FS type should be nfs4 for a regular mount command but the resource contains only option for "nfs" FS type. Any advice would be much appreciated. Thanks, YairSolved3.5KViews1like6CommentsListener resource remain faulted
Hello, we are doing some failure tests for a customer. We have VCS 6.2 running on solaris 10. We have an Oracle database and of course the listener associated with it. We try to simulate different kind of failures. One of them is to kill the listener. In this situation the cluster observes that the listener has died, and it fails over the service to the other node. BUT the listener resource will remain in FAULTED state on the original node, and the group to which belongs will be in OFFLINE FAULTED state. In this situation if something goes wrong on the second node the service will not fail back to the original one until we manually run hagrp -clear. Is there anything we can do to fix this? (to have the clear done automatically) Here are some lines from the log: 2015/03/30 17:26:10 VCS ERROR V-16-2-13067 (node2p) Agent is calling clean for resource(ora_listener-res) because the resource became OFFLINE unexpectedly, on its own. 2015/03/30 17:26:11 VCS INFO V-16-2-13068 (node2p) Resource(ora_listener-res) - clean completed successfully. 2015/03/30 17:26:11 VCS INFO V-16-1-10307 Resource ora_listener-res (Owner: Unspecified, Group: oracle_rg) is offline on node2p (Not initiated by VCS) in these it says that clean for the resource has completed successfully, but the resource is still faulted. but if I run hares -clear manually, the the fault goes away. 20150330-173628:root@node1p:~# hares -state ora_listener-res #Resource Attribute System Value ora_listener-res State node1p ONLINE ora_listener-res State node2p FAULTED 20150330-173636:root@node1p:~# hares -clear ora_listener-res 20150330-173653:root@node1p:~# hares -state ora_listener-res #Resource Attribute System Value ora_listener-res State node1p ONLINE ora_listener-res State node2p OFFLINE 20150330-173655:root@node1p:~#Solved3.4KViews0likes5Comments

Bug in VCS's Oracle agent Health check Monitoring scripts?
Has anyone hit a bug when using VCS's Oracle agent in "Health Check Honitoring" mode (MonitorOption=1)? I've recently tested this with VCS 6.0.1 on Solaris10 x64, and discovered that the agent attempts to run scripts called "oraapi_32", "oraapi_3211g", "oraapi_64" or "oraapi_6411g" in the agent's directory "/opt/VRTSagents/ha/bin/Oracle". However, this fails because the standard installation doesn't give these scripts execute permission for non-root users, yet it's the (non-root) Oracle user that needs to run these scripts. I added global execute permission to these scripts in my test environment, and this allowed Health Check Honitoring to work OK. Has anyone else hit this problem? Is there an official workaround or solution? Best Regards, Alistair.Solved3.3KViews1like4Comments
Cluster fails after solaris server is brought online after hardware replacement
We replaced one of our solaris servers (swapped the hard drives into the new server) after a hardware failure. When the server came back up, all the applications we have on the servers in the cluster stopped functioning. All the servers' logs show that the resource could not be contacted, then it attemps to run clean and repeats this process until the server we brought up is take offline. I am not sure why this is occuring and could not find any documentation concerning steps needed to re-introduce a server to the cluster.

Integrating SAP with VCS 6.2 (on Oracle Linux 6.5)
Hi, I was wondering if someone has some additional information regarding how to setup my cluster... I have both VCS (inclusing Storage Foundation) and Linux knowledge. I do however have no background in SAP. And as SAP is a very complex product, I can not see the forest because of the trees... Setup 2 node (active-passive) cluster of Oracle Linux 6.5 nodes. Veritas Storage Foundation HA (= VxVM + DMP + VCS). Oracle 11.2 as database. SAP ECC 6.0 Apart from the Installation & Configuration guide on the SAP NetWeaver Agent, I found little information about implementing SAP in VCS. Source: "Symantec™ High Availability Agent for SAP NetWeaver Installation and Configuration Guide for Linux 6.2". But unfortunately I can not find a howto, guide or whatever from Symantec, nor from the usual Google attempts. My customer is however also not very SAP knowledged. From what I understand it is a very basic SAP setup, if not the simplest. They are using SAP ECC6.0 and an Oracle 11.2 database. So I assume they are just having a Central Instance and the Database. After some Google resource, I found out that SAP ECC 6.0 is technically a SAP NetWeaver 7.0. On Symantec SORT, I found 3 versions of SAP NetWeaver. I downloaded the first one, as the descripton says: SAP NetWeaver SAP NetWeaver 7.1, 7.2, 7.3, 7.4 SAP NetWeaver 7.1, 7.3 Agent: SAPNW04 5.0.16.0 Application version(s): SAP R/3 4.6, R/3 Enterprise 4.7, NW04, NW04s, ERP/ECC 5.0/6.0, SCM/APO 4.1/5.0/5.1/7.0, SRM 4.0/5.0/7.0, CRM 4.0/5.0/7.0 Source: https://sort.symantec.com/agents/detail/1077 SAP ERP 2005 = SAP NetWeaver 2004s (BASIS 7.00) = ECC 6.0 Source: http://itknowledgeexchange.techtarget.com/itanswers/difference-bet-ecc-60-sap-r3-47/ Source: http://www.fasttrackph.com/sap-ecc-6-0/ Source : http://wulibi.blogspot.be/2010/03/what-is-sap-ecc-60-in-brief.html Currently I have this setup unfinshed: Installed & configured Storage Foundation HA on both nodes. Instaled the ACC Libraries on both nodes. see: https://sort.symantec.com/agents/detail/1183 Installed the SAP NetWeaver Agent on both nodes. see: https://sort.symantec.com/agents/detail/1077 Configured next to the CusterServiceGroup, 3 Service Groups: SG_sap the shared storage Resources: DiskGroup + Volumes + Mount. the SAPNW Agent Resource. SG_oracle the shared storage Resources: DiskGroup + Volumes + Mount the Oracle Agent Resurce. SG_nfs still empty. SAPNW Agent. SAP instance type The SAPNW Agent documentation states: The agent supports the following SAP instance types: Central Services Instance Application Server Instance Enqueue Replication Server Instance. Source: "Symantec™ High Availability Agent for SAP NetWeaver Installation and Configuration Guide for Linux 6.2" But I guess the SAP ECC 6.0 has them all in one central instance, right? So I only need one SAPNW Agent. How is the SAP installed: only ABAP only Java add-in (both ABAP and Java). Source: "Symantec™ High Availability Agent for SAP NetWeaver Installation and Configuration Guide for Linux 6.2" I have no idea. How can I find this out? InstName Attribute Another thing is the InstName Attribute. This also does not correspond with the information I have. My SAP intance is T30. So the syntax is correct more or less, but it isn't listed below. Which is important also to decide on the value for the ProcMon Attribute The SAPSID and InstName form a unique identifier that can identify the processes running for a particular instance. Some examples of SAP instances are given as follows: InstName = InstType DVEBMGS00 = SAP Application Server - ABAP (Primary) D01 SAP = Application Server - ABAP (Additional) ASCS02 = SAP Central Services - ABAP J03 = SAP Application Server - Java SCS04 = SAP Central Services - Java ERS05 = SAP Enqueue Replication Server SMDA97 = Solution Manager Diagnostics Agent Source: "Symantec™ High Availability Agent for SAP NetWeaver Installation and Configuration Guide for Linux 6.2" In the listing of the required attributes it is also stated. However, the default value is CENTRAL. I guess this is correct in my case? InstName Attribute: An identifier that classifies and describes the SAP server instance type. Valid values are: APPSERV: SAP Application Server ENQUEUE: SAP Central Services ENQREP: Enqueue Replication Server SMDAGENT: Solution Manager Diagnostics Agent SAPSTARTSRV: SAPSTARTSRV Process Note: The value of this attribute is not case-sensitive. Type and dimension: string-scalar Default: APPSERV Example: ENQUEUE EnqSrvResName Attribute A required attribute is the EnqSrvResName Attribute. The documentation says this should be the Resource Name for the SAP Central Instance. But I am assuming I only have a SAP Central Instance. So I guess I should use the name of my SAP Agent Resouce from my SAP Service Group? EnqSrvResName Attribute: The name of the VCS resource for SAP Central Services (A)SCS Instance. This attribute is used by Enqueue and Enqueue Replication Server. Using this attribute the Enqueue server queries the Enqueue Replication Server resource state while determining the fail over target and vice a versa. Type and dimension: string-scalar Default: No default value Example: SAP71-PI1SCS_sap Source: "Symantec™ High Availability Agent for SAP NetWeaver Installation and Configuration Guide for Linux 6.2" Is anyone able to help me out? Thanks in advance.Solved2.4KViews2likes9Comments
startup/shutdown of Oracle inside non-global zone, Solaris 10, VCS 5.1
Hi there, I'm looking for advice regarding configuring automated startup/shutdown of an Oracle 11.2 database within a zone on Solaris. The file systems for the oracle db are VxVM, dependencies are in place so that the DG and all volumes are mounted prior to starting the zone which is configured to loopback mount the volumes in the global. Question is - how do I gracefully start/stop the db when on/offlining the zone resource? I'm guessing some post-online and pre-offline scripts but this doesn't seem like it could be the most elegant solution. If there is no other way, if anyone has any links to examples, info, documented efforts etc, I'd appreciate it. Thanks in advance.Solved2.4KViews1like13Comments
