RE: OFA and RAC on raw devices

2003-11-20 Thread Muqthar Ahmed
Gilles,

What about the OFA admin subtree (create, pfile, udump,bdump..) ?
Did you duplicate it on each node ?
   Each node will have its own ADMIN subtree (/u01/app/oracle/admin/prod/).  Make sure 
the following parameters are configured in INIT.ORA file:
# First instance specific parameters
db1.local_listener=(ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=TCP)(HOST=)(PORT=1521))
db1.thread=1
db1.instance_name=db1
db1.instance_number=1
db1.remote_listener = listener_db2
db1.undo_tablespace = UNDOTBS1
db1.log_archive_dest_1 = 'location=/archdb1/prod mandatory'

# Second instance specific parameters
db2.local_listener=(ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=TCP)(HOST=x)(PORT=1521))
db2.thread=2
db2.instance_name = db2
db2.instance_number = 2
db2.remote_listener = listener_db1
db2.undo_tablespace = UNDOTBS2
db2.log_archive_dest_1 = 'location=/archdb2/prod mandatory'

What are the steps in Service Guard to configure failover File system ? 
   System Administrator created the Failover File system at OS level.

Do you use RMAN for backups? if yes with autolocate 9i feature ?
   Yes I am using RMAN..it is a complicated setup.

If you used soft links for datafiles, it means you have some sort of
/oradata/db_name/ structure on each node. Right?
   Yes.  For example if I am using /u01/oradata/prod/ then make sure you have exactly 
same file system on both nodes  so that database will recognize the datafiles on each 
node otherwise it will fail.

Does this prove helpful?
   Yes.

Hi listers, 

 Configuration  :
 Hp-ux 11i 
 Oracle 9iR2 with RAC (2 nodes) 
 OSD clusterware : MC/Service Guard 11.15 

Oracle software is installed on each node and
the database is on shared raw devices.

 Any experience/gotchas implementing OFA on RAC without cluster file
systems? 
 In particular, do you share the admin subtree between nodes ? and how (NFS
mount ?)
Also do you cross-mount archive log file systems ?

 Thanks in advance for any info or pointers

RE: Re: Logical StandBy question

2003-11-13 Thread Muqthar Ahmed



Juan,

I am 
using Physical Standby Database for Disaster Recovery situation andalso 
forREPORTS. I apply logs everyday in the morning and bring it up in 
READ ONLY mode. Developers can SELECT latest data from STANDBY 
database. I have created a DATABASE LINK for STANDBY database from X 
database. Now you can create REPORTSin X database by SELECTING data 
from STANDBY database. Less maintenance, reliable and good 
performance.

The 
only disadvantage is STANDBY database is one day behind.

RE: Re[2]: Sequences in OPS/RAC

Hi,

I have RAC and I always use ORDER when I create SEQUENCE.  The following information 
is from Oracle Manual:

ORDER is necessary only to guarantee ordered generation if you are using Oracle with 
Real Application Clusters. If you are using exclusive mode, sequence numbers are 
always generated in order.

Can you point us to the article? My guess is that the author

in a RAC. No conflicts will occur. I've never heard of a

RE: Clone db 9.2 on AIX 5L

2003-10-31 Thread Muqthar Ahmed
Veronica,

There are two different types of installation CDs for Oracle 8.1.7:
  1.  Oracle 8.1.7 64-bit and
  2.  Oracle 8.1.7 

Oracle cerfitied 8.1.7(32-bit) for 5L not for Oracle 8.1.6 64-bit.  If you have Oracle 
8.1.7(32-bit), then you can upgrade AIX 4.3.3 to AIX 5L:

  1.  Upgrade OS from AIX 4.3.3 to AIX 5L
  2.  Install the following AIX 5L OS patches as required by the Installation Guide, 
refer to Note: 169706.1:
  IY26778(5100-01) 
  IY28766(5100-01) 
  IY28949(5100-01) 
  IY29965(5100-02) 
  IY30150(5100-02) 
  Maint Level 1 and IY22854 
  Required OS packages:
  bos.adt.base 
  bos.adt.lib 
  bos.adt.libm 
  bos.perf.perfstat 
  bos.perf.libperfstat
  3.  Install Oracle 8.1.7 for AIX 5L from CDs into new ORACLE_HOME
  4.  Copy init.ora to new ORACLE_HOME and modify the init.ora to change dump 
directories, 
  5.  Setup your environment to point to new ORACLE_HOME and start the databases.

I would recommend you to open a TAR with Oracle Support.

but I am not planning to upgrade Oracle. 
I am at 8.1.7.2 and can't upgrade to 9i yet due to applications
compatibility
Do I have to upgrade Oracle to 9i if I upgrade AIX to 5L
I understand Oracle 8.1.7.2 can run on AIX 5L at 32 bits without problems.

Hi,

You DO NOT have to CLONE the databases if you are upgrading the OS from
4.3.3 to 5L.  You mentioned that the instances are already running.

IBM has break the technology at AIX 5.1.0.0, meaning the AIX 4.3.3 and AIX
5.1.0.0 have different architecture.  So if you are upgrading IBM AIX 4.3.3
to AIX 5.1.0.0, you also have to upgrade Oracle at the same time.  Oracle
9.2 CDs are separate for IBM AIX 4.3.3 and IBM AIX 5.1.0.0.

If you are in this situation, all you have to is shutdown all databases,
install Oracle 9.2 with 5L CDs in new ORACEL HOME and setup your environment
with new ORACLE HOME to start your existing databases.

RE: Execution Plan is good but HIGH CPU

2003-10-28 Thread Muqthar Ahmed
Hi,

The developer was executing the SQL statement in the loop in procedure.  After 
re-writing the code, now the performance is good.

Thanks

It's 800 sec for 5617 exec/fetch calls. It looks like it's a sql inside a
cursor loop or stored proc that gets called from some app.
If you are unhappy, try to get rid of the cursor logic and get everything
done in one sql call.

RE: Clone db 9.2 on AIX 5L

2003-10-28 Thread Muqthar Ahmed
Hi,

You DO NOT have to CLONE the databases if you are upgrading the OS from 4.3.3 to 5L.  
You mentioned that the instances are already running.

IBM has break the technology at AIX 5.1.0.0, meaning the AIX 4.3.3 and AIX 5.1.0.0 
have different architecture.  So if you are upgrading IBM AIX 4.3.3 to AIX 5.1.0.0, 
you also have to upgrade Oracle at the same time.  Oracle 9.2 CDs are separate for IBM 
AIX 4.3.3 and IBM AIX 5.1.0.0.

If you are in this situation, all you have to is shutdown all databases, install 
Oracle 9.2 with 5L CDs in new ORACEL HOME and setup your environment with new ORACLE 
HOME to start your existing databases.

Hi,

Anyone used this in 9i ??

Can you set this as you would a normal parameter (ie. as I did in 8i with
undocumented parameters).

Sorry if this is a stupid question but I am still getting my head around
this 9i stuff.

Plus don't worry, this is not Production I am playing but a test instance. I
thought I would ask first as I would rather not recreate this.

Hi,

Is there a tool available to move data from COBOL to ORACLE directly?  One way to do 
is get COBOL data on a flat file and then use SQL*Loader to insert into ORACLE tables.

The second question is did anyone use DESIGNER to connect to COBOL to create an ERD 
and then transform into ORACLE tabels script?

 sql parsing would be reflected in Library cache not rowcache

 Basic stuff

Not that basic. Rowcache will get hit during any hard parse, since you need
to get information about objects from DD. And if objects information isn't
cached yet, it has to be loaded into row cache.

Btw, row cache locks might come from LMT extent (de)allocation. Now, if both
RAC instances start allocating or deallocating extents in a datafile, they
need to access the same bitmap blocks, which results in GC traffic or pings,
maybe that's the problem?

Tanel.

  General answer: upgrade to 9.2.0.4 and hope that the bug has been fixed.
  Row cache locks are data dictionary locks. You can see the contents of
row
  cache
  by inspecting v$rowcache.  You may need to increase shared pool.
  Last but not least, how fast is your private network connection between
 the
  two nodes? 100mbit/sec is not nearly fast enough. You need at least a
  gigabit
  switch. Also check your SQL for hard parsing (see the executions and
  invalidations in
  v$sqlarea), ad-hoc DDL and that kind of stuff.
  And no, it's not my priority 1.

Hi,

There are two BUGS 2605240 and 2683906 which got fixed in 9.2.0.4.0.  I will be 
applying the patch to fix the problem.

Thanks for your input.

SQL parsing would also be reflected in rowcache because, to parse
successfully, you
need dictionary and parse locks.

  General answer: upgrade to 9.2.0.4 and hope that the bug has been 
  fixed. Row cache locks are data dictionary locks. You can see the 
  contents of row cache by inspecting v$rowcache.  You may need to 
  increase shared pool. Last but not least, how fast is your private 
  network connection between
 the
  two nodes? 100mbit/sec is not nearly fast enough. You need 
 at least a 
  gigabit switch. Also check your SQL for hard parsing (see the 
  executions and invalidations in
  v$sqlarea), ad-hoc DDL and that kind of stuff.
  And no, it's not my priority 1.

SPEED?


 
 Hi,

  I looking at implementing RMAN backup and recovery to disk (fast disk)
  on a high avail. system...so recovery time is crucial..
  Anybody know how fast I might restore a full backup of a 600gig to a 
  Terabyte database.

  The machine probably will have 10+ cpus HP machine and EMC disk although
  the backups will probably sit on a fast SAN. There will be 12Gig of fast
  memory...  200,000 users...max 10,000 concurrent, 100MB io card.
   
  IF anyone has done it...what speeds could you obtain with RMAN from Disk?

  What were the best SPEED enhancing factors??
   ( I know cpus, mult-channels, and memory, disk ban widths anymore?)

Thanks,
Brian Spears

  Shutdown Immediate Hanging
  I hope somebody can help me with 
  this shutdown problem. There's 2 questions unless: how to 
  troubleshoota stalledshutdown and the best way to deal with 
  it.
  
  #1 - Database hangs during 
  shutdown
  We have several instances running 
  8.1.7.3 on Win2k and continue to have intermittent shutdown 
  problems.
  The shutdown never 
  completes.
  Here's are the steps used to stop 
  the database
  1.) Stop the application 
  servers
  1.) run a kill session script to 
  kill all remaining sessions except the one running the script 
  2.) issue shutdown immediate and 
  hope it shuts down.
  
  At this point, the database closes 
  but it never dismounts.
  We never receive the "Completed: 
  ALTER DATABASE DISMOUNT"
  
  Is there anything I can do to 
  diagnose the problem at this point? 
  
  After 15 minutes, 
  Arcservebacks upthe files to tape (delay fieldin arcserve 
  job).
  After the backup is complete, the 
  database startup script is run.
  The alert log says the startup is 
  normal, but no connections are allowed into the database.
  
  I either have to do a shutdown 
  abort or stop the service and then I can start the database.
  I wrote a script to detectthe 
  shutdownhangsthat will page me, do a shutdown abort, startup and 
  thenshutdown immediate (before the backup job starts)
  There's not much I can do when it 
  stalls and I don't mind running the script if it won't corrupt my 
  database.
  
  Is there a better way to handle 
  this?
  
  I checked metalink and opened a 
  tar. 
  Oracle said it was a security dll 
  issue with MS and that I should change the scripts to shutdown the service 
  instead of using svrmgrl or sqlplus. That was fine until I realized that 
  stopping the service will do a shutdown immediate. If thedatabase 
  doesn't complete before the ora_SID_shutdown_timeout value, it does a 
  shutdown abort (or equivalent).
  
  Thanks,
  Steve

Try these two queries to find out allocated space in SYSTEM tablespace:

from dba_segments

group by owner, tablespace_name;

If you mean to say Writing is Creating the segments , I did not see any
other user except SYS and SYSTEM users in the SYSTEM tablespace. But some
user IDs which were created for replication purpose have the
Default_tablespace as SYSTEM , but they do not have any segments in SYSTEM
tablespace . And there wont be any chance of creating a new object/segment
under those users.

I believe the SYSTEM tablespace was fragmented and now I would like to
resize it , would like to know best and fastest way

  some one or something is writing into your system tablespace. I would

SELECT username from dba_users where default_tablespace ='SYSTEM';

I have Oracle 8.1.7 running on NT.  I do cold backups nightly and have a batch file 
that is called by the NT 'AT' scheduler.  I recently changed some lines of commands in 
the batch file and since then when the batch file is executed by 'AT' only the lines 
that I did not edit are executed.
If I execute the batch file from the command prompt it works fine.  I deleted the job 
from 'AT' and then entered it back in but still getting this odd behavior of only 
executing the commands that I did not edit.  Our SA's know nothing about 'AT' so they 
are of no help.
Has anyone else seen this odd behavior in the 'AT' function in Windoze?  I know you 
find it hard to believe that something can be weird in Windoze.  ;o)
And yes, I am soon planning on learning RMAN and do hot backups.  I have the 8i Backup 
and Recovery Handbook for my reading pleasure.  I see the app that is being used going 
to a 24X7 schedule.  Now it is only used during the day.

FW: Beginners questions for RMAN and Legato on WIN2000

2002-07-03 Thread Muqthar Ahmed

Hi,

Follow the following configuration steps before you use the Legato Software for backup:

  1.  Install Legato NetWorker Software
  2.  Install BusinessSuite Module for Oracle (Integration between Oracle and Legato)
  3.  Configure Legato Neworker to use Tape Devices
  4.  Use RMAN to backup only controlfile to Tape device to check whether RMAN is 
recognizing Tape Devices or not.

you can use the following script to test your backup (Change the server host name 
LAWPROD before you use the script):

  rman catalog [EMAIL PROTECTED]
  connect target
run {
   allocate channel c1 type 'SBT_TAPE' parms 'ENV=(NSR_SERVER=lawprod)';
   allocate channel c2 type 'SBT_TAPE' parms 'ENV=(NSR_SERVER=lawprod)';
   allocate channel c3 type 'SBT_TAPE' parms 'ENV=(NSR_SERVER=lawprod)';
  backup current controlfile
   format 'cf_%d_t%t_s%s_p%p';
  backup
   incremental level 0
   tag backup_level_0
   filesperset 4 
   format 'ts_%d_t%t_s%s_p%p'
 (database);
release channel c1;
release channel c2;
release channel c3;
 resync catalog;
  }

All the best!

Hi all,

I have some problems with rman and Legato Networker on Win2000. I am 
using a catalog and my oracle version is 8.1.7.

How rman/Legato knows which nsrnmo -script it will use, I mean I have 
created script for each instance with filename nsrnmo_DBNAME.bat.

Also how do I specify which Legato server and Legato group is used. I 
tried to test as it was mentioned in Legato Networker Module for Oracle 
(rel.3.5) documentation page 52, but rman was complaining about the 
parameter NSR_ENV ...

I tried to check these things from the manual but still I am at the same 
point :-) ...

Thank you in advance!

FW: Restore with RMAN

2002-06-25 Thread Muqthar Ahmed

Luc,

RMAN catalog will always restore the latest CONTROLFILE.  If you can restore OLDER 
version of CONTROLFILE then you can restore the previous one.

Luc - 
I wondered about this issue, but since it wasn't going to be on the
OCP BR exam, it obviously wasn't worth knowing (just a little dark OCP
humor).
My initial guess would be either:
1) RMAN would just know to go to the earlier backup if the first failed (I
doubt that).
2) Manually go into the RMAN catalog and delete the reference to the bad
backup so RMAN no longer knows it exists. I also believe there may be an
RMAN command to accomplish this.
3) Hope someone else on this list knows the answer.

Hi gurus,

I'm in a process of testing our backup and recovery
strategies.

Question: 
For a restore of a noarchivelog database :
Is't possible to restore other backups than the last
one?  
What's happen if the last one is not good?

TIA

RE: Archiving in OPS

2002-06-06 Thread Muqthar Ahmed



Hi,

You 
can not setup your archive logs in EMC storage (RAW). Currently I am 
working on this project. Oracle recommends that the following 
setup:

 
SYSTEM / DATA / INDEX / TEMP / OTHER TBLS / REDOLOGS 
- RAW (EMC storage)
 
ARCHIVE LOGS / ROLLBACK 
(UNDO) 
- LOCAL (on each instance)

You 
can use FAILOVER to move archive location. For 
example:

 
Instance1 
Instance2
 
PROD1PROD2
 
/d01/arch1 
/d02/arch2

If 
Instance1 goes down, using FAILOVER method, /d01/arch1 will be automatically 
mounted on Instance2. Check with your UNIX Administrator about FAILOVER 
mechanism.

  If I understand you correctly, you are referring 
  to "RAW" EMC storage as the shared storage array accessible from all nodes in 
  the cluster, while "local" is local storage that is only accessible from the 
  node to which it is directly attached?
  
  If so, then putting the tablespaces on that 
  "local" storage will never work. Likewise, if the rollback tablespaces 
  were also not in "raw" devices; it would never work (unless you are
