Setup udev rules with Red Hat 5/6 on VMware

May 16, 2013 by Leave a Comment

To work on VMware Fusion, set the following on the .vmx file; without this entry, the scsi_id command does not return any values by default.
disk.EnableUUID = “TRUE” 
 
Retrieve and generate a unique SCSI identifier with the scsi_id command:

[root@rhel59dra ~]# /sbin/scsi_id -g -u -s /block/sdc

36000c29b80c12910ca4e6a95a1949d8b
[root@rhel59dra ~]# /sbin/scsi_id -g -u -s /block/sdd
36000c29344da4eab5b78409de3706424
[root@rhel59dra ~]# /sbin/scsi_id -g -u -s /block/sde
36000c291cd542d388fdee223fa90ca69
[root@rhel59dra ~]# /sbin/scsi_id -g -u -s /block/sdf
36000c296666187fd5223c0a34ca52f71
 
Add entries to a custom udev rules file
[root@rhel59dra ~]# cat /etc/udev/rules.d/99-oracle-asmdevices.rules
KERNEL==”sd?1″, BUS==”scsi”, PROGRAM==”/sbin/scsi_id -g -u -s /block/$parent”, RESULT==”36000c29b80c12910ca4e6a95a1949d8b”, NAME=”ASMOCR01″, OWNER=”oracle”, GROUP=”dba”, MODE=”0660″

Note:
For disks with multiple partitions, the syntax in the udev rules are different.
KERNEL==”sd[c-z]1″, BUS==”scsi”, PROGRAM=”/sbin/scsi_id -g -u -s /block/%P”, RESULT==”3*”, NAME=”ASM%c”, OWNER=”oracle”, GROUP=”dba”, MODE=”0660″
 
 
To make sure that udev rules work:
[root@rhel59dra ~]# udevtest /block/sdc/sdc1
[root@rhel59dra ~]# udevtest /block/sdd/sdd1
[root@rhel59dra ~]# udevtest /block/sde/sde1
[root@rhel59dra ~]# udevtest /block/sdf/sdf1    
[root@rhel59dra ~]# udevtest /block/sdf/sdf2    
[root@rhel59dra ~]# udevtest /block/sdf/sdf3    
[root@rhel59dra ~]# udevtest /block/sdf/sdf4    
 
Restart udev rules:
RHEL 5: /sbin/udevcontrol reload_rules
RHEL 6: /sbin/udevadm control –reload-rules 
/sbin/start_udev  
 
Verify that proper devices are created

[root@rhel59dra ~]# ls -l /dev/ASM*

Stored Proc to write to database alert logs

May 10, 2013 by Leave a Comment

Here’s a simple stored procedure that I’ve been using for about a decade.  From the application or from database triggers, if I want to record anything to the alert log, I can simply invoke this stored procedure and write error messages to the alert log.

Most of the DBAs have implemented alert log scanners and will send alert notifications if new ORA- error messages pop up in the alert log file.

create or replace procedure edba_write_alert

( p_message varchar2,
  p_oranum NUMBER default 20001)
is
begin
dbms_system.ksdddt;
dbms_system.ksdwrt(2, ‘ORA-’||to_char(p_oranum)||’: ‘||p_message);
end;
/
 
grant execute on edba_write_alert to public;

ASM Recommended Init.ora parameters

May 10, 2013 by Leave a Comment

Prior to 11.2, the following set of init.ora parameters were recommended:

*.db_cache_size=64m  

*.large_pool_size=12M

*.shared_pool_size=128M

*.processes=300

 

Going forward with 11.2 and higher, oracle recommends setting memory_target to approximately 1.5 GB.  Also, you will notice that we are leveraging memory_target versus sga_target which insinuates that we are not using huge pages for ASM memory structures:

alter system set memory_target=1536m scope=spfile;

 

The equation for the process parameters is:

Processes=25 + (10 + max number of concurrent database file creations, and file extend operations possible) * n.

Where n is the number of databases connecting to ASM.

RAC Add Node

May 8, 2013 by Leave a Comment

Basic instructions for adding a new node to the RAC cluster: 

1. First on the target node, create /u01/app/oraInventory (empty) and owned by oracle:dba

2. On the target node, make sure /u01/app/11.2.0 directory is created and empty. This directory needs to be owned as: oracle:dba 
3. Run addnode.ksh (shown below) on an existing RAC node with parameters replaced as oracle
4. As instructed, execute root.sh on target node as root

Here’s all the caveats: 
1. It is still buggy on the cluvfy side for 11.2.0.3. It had bugs in 11.2.0.2 also. I recall we had to set IGNORE_PREADDNODE_CHECKS to Y back then, and it looks like we still have to. 
2. /u01/app/oraInventory has to be pre-created and owned by oracle:dba and has to be completely empty 
3. /u01/app/11.2.0 needs to be owned by oracle:dba. The /u01/app/11.2.0/grid directory cannot exist … even as an empty directory. The addnode.sh script attempts to do a “mkdir grid” as oracle, and if it fails, it dies. 
4. It died on me twice at “crsctl start listener -n “target_node” … have to create default listener first
5. I did not leverage the -noCopy method.  This working example will copy the Grid Home from source RAC node to the new RAC node via scp/ssh. I don’t think it is a big deal … added about 5 minutes to the overall time (see below).

cd $ORACLE_HOME/oui/bin
 
export IGNORE_PREADDNODE_CHECKS=Y
 
#./addNode.sh -silent “CLUSTER_NEW_NODES={rhel59drb}” “CLUSTER_NEW_VIRTUAL_HOSTNAMES={rhel59b-vip}” -noCopy

Create a local YUM repository from your CD/DVD

April 26, 2013 by Leave a Comment

Mount the CD/DVD:  mount /dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom

Then trick the baseurl directives to point to the file instead of Oracle’s public yum server in the /etc/yum.repos.d/public-yum-ol6.repo/public-yum-el5.repo or /etc/yum.repos.d/public-yum-ol6.repo file:

[root@ovmanager media]# mount /dev/cdrom /mnt

mount: block device /dev/sr0 is write-protected, mounting read-only
 
[oracle@ovmanager yum.repos.d]$ pwd
/etc/yum.repos.d
 
[oracle@ovmanager yum.repos.d]$ vi public-yum-el5.repo
 

[ol5_u8_base]

name=Oracle Linux $releasever Update 8 installation media copy ($basearch)
baseurl=file:///mnt/OL5.8/Server/
gpgkey=http://public-yum.oracle.com/RPM-GPG-KEY-oracle-el5
gpgcheck=0

Now you are ready to install packages from your local yum repository

Determine WWN

April 26, 2013 by Leave a Comment

For those who are interested in knowing how to determine HBA port id (world-wide name – WWN) from a Linux box, see below.  Note is this is for RHEL/OEL 6.x.  5.x is quite different.  In our case its simple, we have one HBA, but the following can be used to walk thru it:
 
#lspci | grep -i fibre

03:00.0 Fibre Channel: QLogic Corp. ISP2432-based 4Gb Fibre Channel to PCI Express HBA (rev 02)
 
#systool -av -c fc_host
 
 
Class Device = “host6″
  Class Device path = “/sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1c.0/0000:03:00.0/host6/fc_host/host6″
    dev_loss_tmo        = “45″
    fabric_name         = “0xffffffffffffffff”
    issue_lip           = <store method only>
    max_npiv_vports     = “127″
    node_name           = “0x200000e08b93a654“
    npiv_vports_inuse   = “0″
    port_id             = “0×000000″
    port_name           = “0x210000e08b93a654″
    port_state          = “Linkdown”
    port_type           = “Unknown”
    speed               = “unknown”
    supported_classes   = “Class 3″
    supported_speeds    = “1 Gbit, 2 Gbit, 4 Gbit”
    symbolic_name       = “QLE2460 FW:v5.03.07 DVR:v8.04.00.08.39.0-k”
    system_hostname     = “”
    tgtid_bind_type     = “wwpn (World Wide Port Name)”
    uevent              = 
    vport_create        = <store method only>
    vport_delete        = <store method only>
 
Thus WWN == 20:00:00:e0:8b:93:a6:54

oracle-rdbms-server-11gR2-preinstall

April 26, 2013 by Leave a Comment

Starting from Oracle Database 11g Release 2, we no longer use the oracle-validated install.  Instead, we are supposed to leverage the new oracle-rdbms-server-11gR2-preinstall instead.
