1. Overview
RAC Attack is a free curriculum and platform for hands-on learning labs related to Oracle RAC (cluster
database). We believe that the best way to learn about RAC is with a lot of hands-on experience. This
curriculum has been used by individuals at home and by instructors in classes since 2008.
The original contributors were Jeremy Schneider, Dan Norris and Parto Jalili. The handbook was
published at http://www.ardentperf.com for several years before its migration to this wikibook.
All RAC Attack content was released under the CC-BY-SA license in May 2011 when this project was
initiated.
To learn about upcoming RAC Attack events or to organize one yourself, visit the Events page. You
can use the shortcut http://racattack.org/events to access this page at any time.
The goal of this workbook is to help students learn about Oracle RAC cluster databases through guided
examples. (Specifically, 11gR2 RAC on VMware Server with ASM or Shared Filesystem and Oracle
Enterprise Linux 5.) It can be used by organizers of events, by instructors in classes or by individuals at
home.
RAC Attack differs in depth from other tutorials currently available.
Every keystroke and mouse click is carefully documented here.
The process is covered from the very beginning to the very end - from the very first installation of
VMware on your laptop to various experiments on your running cluster database... with everything in
between.
The labs in the main workbook have been tested thoroughly and repeatedly.
1.1. Prerequisites
Students should be able to navigate in Unix - for example, listing files with "ls".
1.1.1. Hardware Minimum Requirements
Most modern laptop and desktop computers should be powerful enough to run a two-node virtual RAC
cluster. In a nutshell, these are the recommended minimums:
Dual-core 2GHz 32-bit processor (it's been done with single-core)
4GB memory (it's been done with 3GB)
Two physical hard disks - not partitions (it's been done with one)
External HD for laptops (it's been done with certain USB flash memory sticks)
50 GB + 10.5 GB free space (it's been done with slightly less)

Overview
Windows XP or Vista (linux & mac are not covered in these instructions)
1.2. Making This Lab Successful
Read about: Planning Your Time

Focus on what you can learn.
Choose as many specific learning goals as possible and take your time to investigate them.
Be creative and experiment.
Take risks and don't be afraid to break things.
Take advantage of the classroom or event setting, if you're in one
You can "jumpstart" back to the beginning of a lab with one click.
Record discoveries and questions to share with others.
Help each other out. There are more participants than instructors!
When possible, cut-and-paste steps directly into a PuTTY SSH terminal session.
1.3. Lab Tips
All passwords are racattack

Always choose "I moved this VM" when asked, unless instructions specifically say to choose "copied".
If using your own laptop, start the VMs one after another. That is, wait until the first VM completes
bootup - including clusterware and database - before starting the second.
Classroom specific tips:
Common login account for Workstation and VMware console: "admin"
Common changes from the lab handbook:
Use 5GB shared disks not 3.25GB
Use 900MB memory not 760MB

2. Planning Your Time
For the most benefit, you must plan your time carefully. There will not be enough time to complete all
of the labs - so choose the ones which most interest you.
i Information
If you are using your own computer at home or at an event, then you always need to complete the
first lab (Hardware and Windows Preparation1 ) before you can jumpstart to any following labs. If
you are in a class then the instructor has probably completed the first lab for you, and you can
begin with a jumpstart.

Planning Your Time
2.2. Time
These times were gathered with a laptop just meeting the recommended minimum requirements2 . In
addition to the wait times listed below, we suggest that you reserve about 40 minutes of work time to
complete any given lab.
i Information
Downloads only apply to home users. If you are at an event or a class then the organizers have
already downloaded the software for you.

3. Hardware and Windows Preparation
3.1. Hardware and Windows Minimum Requirements
This handbook will walk you through the process of creating a two-node Oracle RAC cluster on your
own laptop or desktop computer.
A detailed explanation of virtualization is beyond the scope of this lab but here is a simple overview of
what we are building:
Figure 2
3.1.1. Hardware Minimum Requirements
Most modern laptop and desktop computers should be powerful enough to run a two-node virtual RAC
cluster. In a nutshell, these are the recommended minimums:
Dual-core 2GHz 32-bit processor (it's been done with single-core)
13
Hardware and Windows Preparation
4GB memory (it's been done with 3GB)

Two physical hard disks - not partitions (it's been done with one)
External HD for laptops (it's been done with certain USB flash memory sticks)
50 GB + 10.5 GB free space (it's been done with slightly less)
Support files larger than 2GB, e.g. NTFS (it's been done without 2GB file support, on FAT32)
Windows XP or Vista (Linux & Mac are not directly covered in these instructions, but a supplementary
PDF covering VirtualBox1 can be downloaded)
If your laptop or desktop does not meet these minimum requirements then it is not recommended
to try completing the RAC Attack labs. Although it is possible to complete these labs with smaller
configurations, there are many potential problems.
i Information
Although we recommend against trying, RAC Attack has been done with: single-core, 3GB
memory, one physical hard drive, certain USB flash memory sticks, and less than 60GB of free
space.
3.1.2. Windows Preparation
1. Reboot windows. After this clean boot-up, don't start any unneeded programs - for example email
or instant messenger.
2. If possible, disable virus scanning (so that your antivirus software doesn't try to scan I/O on the
virtual machine disks).
3. Terminate any memory resident programs which are running, especially programs that help big
applications "quick-start" (these often use up a lot of memory).

Hardware and Windows Minimum Requirements
3.1.3. Hardware Verificaton
Processor
1. From the Start menu, choose or type RUN. In the dialog box that appears, type msinfo32.
Figure 3
2. Select System Summary in the left pane. Scroll down to Processor in the right pane. Verify that
you have at least 2 cores and that the speed is at least 2000 Mhz.
Figure 4
Memory
1. Scroll down to Memory in the right pane. Verify that Installed Physical Memory is at least
4GB. Also, verify that Available Memory is at least 1.4GB. You can terminate programs which
run in the foreground and background to increase the Available Memory.

Hard Disks
1. In the left pane, choose Components -> Storage -> Disks. Count the number of Disk Drive
entries and verify that there are at least two.

i Information
A single hard disk can max out as low as 45 MB/s. (This has been observed during RAC Attack
testing.) Typical USB Flash Thumb Drives get very, very poor performance and should not be
used. Some USB Flash Thumb Drives are marketed for performance; these typically get a
maximum around 30 MB/s. In tests for RAC Attack, USB drives worked well for storing ISO
images but somewhat poorly for storing virtual machine files.
For a detailed comparison of different connection types, refer to:
http://www.pixelbeat.org/speeds.html
Free Space Requirements

RAC Attack is carefully designed to use three directories and spread out I/O for the best possible
responsiveness during labs. You can choose how to spread the directories across your hard disks, and
the best configuration may vary depending on your connection and storage type.
Directory Name Description Free Space Suggested Location

RAC11g Operating System 50 GB Second Hard Disk (not
Oracle RAC Software flash)
RAC11g-shared Oracle RAC Data 7.5 GB Windows Hard Disk*
RAC11g-iso OEL Installation DVD 3 GB Windows Hard Disk*
(read-only)
*page file is usually on Windows Hard Disk

Note: do not create the RAC11g directory (with OS and Oracle Software) on a Flash Thumb Drive.
i Information
We worked hard to reduce the footprint of RAC Attack, however with 11gR2 it's very difficult to
reduce it beyond this.
17
3.1.4. Login Accounts
RAC Attack requires a local windows user account with a password and with administrative privi-
leges. You may login using a network or password-free account only if the login account has admin
privileges and you know the password for a local account which also has admin privileges (and not an
empty password).
If your account is not local, or if your account does not have local admin privileges then you can create
an admin account by following the directions here.
Creating a Local Admin Account
1. From the Start menu, choose RUN. In the dialog box that appears, type cmd to launch a command
prompt.
On Windows 7 find the "search programs" field at the bottom of the Start menu. Type cmd in but
don't run it. Right click on "cmd" then choose to "Run as administrator".
After you have opened the command prompt as an admin user, run the following two commands:
net user admin racattack /add
net localgroup administrators admin /add
Login: admin
Password: racattack
Verifying the Login Account
1. Type net user %username% (if you're using a network or password-free login account then
replace %username% with the local password-ed admin account).
VERIFY the username, VERIFY that password required is yes, and VERIFY that local group
memberships include Administrators.

Install VMware Server
3.2. Install VMware Server
1. These labs have been tested with version 2.0.1 of VMware Server. Go to the VMware Server
website at http://www.vmware.com/go/getserver
Figure 9
2. Register for an account if you don't have one already.

a) Write down your license number.
b) If you are at home, then download VMware Server. If you are at a RAC Attack event then
the instructor-provided Jumpstart Drive contains a copy of VMware Server, so that you don't
need to download it. (However you still need a license number from the VMware website.)
i Information
These labs have been tested with version 2.0.1 of VMware Server.

3.4. Setup Virtual Storage
If you are at an event, then the event organizers might provide a special DEMO option - where you can
run a pre-configured RAC cluster on your own laptop. In order to use this DEMO option, follow this
lab but use the directories on the event-provided external hard drive.
1. RAC Attack is carefully designed to use three directories and spread out I/O for the best possible
responsiveness during labs. Create these three directories in the destinations that you chose
in Hardware and Windows Minimum Requirements , taking the guidelines into
consideration.
mkdir C:\RAC11g
mkdir D:\RAC11g-shared
mkdir D:\RAC11g-iso
In the RAC11g directory, make sure that collabn1 and collabn2 subdirectories don't exist.
rmdir C:\RAC11g\collabn1
rmdir C:\RAC11g\collabn2
2. The VMware Server management interface is web-based, and some new web browsers are not
compatible with it. There are two ways to open this management interface:
Open a non-default web browser and go to the address https://localhost:8333/
If you are at an event, then the event organizers might have provided Firefox 2.0.0.20 which
has been tested with RAC Attack. You can run this browser directly from the Jumpstart Drive
without installing it on your PC. This version of firefox can also be downloaded from the
internet.
Launch VMware Server Home Page from the start menu. This will use your default web
browser.
Figure 23
3. Depending on what web browser you use, you might receive security-related warnings. Proceed
through all of these warnings and choose to view the web page.

iso. Choose Local Datastore and use the directory path which you previously chose and created.
Figure 28
7. VERIFY that the three new datastores exist in the Summary screen named RAC11g and
RAC11g-iso and RAC11g-shared. Also VERIFY that the two networks vmnet1 and vmnet8
are available as HostOnly and NAT respectively.

i Information
In VMware test environments you usually have a very small amount of memory. Oracle CSS
processes can take up a *LOT* of the memory (over 50% in this lab) because it locks several
hundred MB in physical memory. In VMware (for both ASM and RAC environments) this may be
undesirable. This low-level hack will make the memory swappable at runtime.
NEVER, EVER, EVER EVEN IN YOUR WILDEST DREAMS THINK ABOUT TRYING
THIS ON ANYTHING CLOSE TO A PRODUCTION SYSTEM.

i Information
I have found the following three websites among the most useful while creating custom VMware
configurations. They show how powerful and versatile VMware is even the free VMware Server
product.

5.3. Copy VM
1. In Windows Explorer, browse to the folder [RAC11g] \collabn1. Copy all of the files to the
folder [RAC11g] \collabn2.
The location of [RAC11g] was determined in the first lab. In a class, the instructor may provide
the location.
If the collabn2 folder does not exist, then create it.

Configure Node 1
5.5. Configure Node 1
After completing the previous lab, you should already be logged in as the oracle user on collabn1. You
should already have a terminal open, where you are currently switched to the root user.
1. As the root user, CONFIRM that the IP address if eth0 starts with 192.168.78 and that the IP
address of eth1 starts with 172.16.100.
[root@collabn1 ]# ifconfig|grep net

eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:0C:29:07:F5:C0
inet addr:192.168.78.128 Bcast:192.168.78.255 Mask:255.255.255.0

inet addr:127.0.0.1 Mask:255.0.0.0
inet6 addr: ::1/128 Scope:Host
2. Update the IP addresses by directly editing the linux network configuration files. Update the
BOOTPROTO line and add the remaining lines.
[root@collabn1 ]# cd /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts
[root@collabn1 network-scripts]# gedit ifcfg-eth0
BOOTPROTO=none
IPADDR=192.168.78.51

GATEWAY=192.168.78.2
BOOTPROTO=none
IPADDR=172.16.100.51
NETMASK=255.255.255.0
3. Update the DNS search domain
[root@collabn1 network-scripts]# gedit /etc/resolv.conf

search vm.ardentperf.com
nameserver 192.168.78.2
4. As root, restart the network services by typing service network restart. Then confirm the new
ip addresses with ifconfig. Also confirm the search domain by inspecting /etc/resolv.conf if
the file has reverted then edit it again. (When I wrote this lab, the change stuck after the second
time I edited the file.)

11. Update the HOSTNAME by editing the linux system configuration files. Set it to col-
labn2.vm.ardentperf.com. Then change the active system hostname with the hostname
command.
[root@collabn1 network-scripts]# gedit /etc/sysconfig/network

HOSTNAME=collabn2.vm.ardentperf.com
[root@collabn1 network-scripts]# hostname collabn2.vm.ardentperf.com
12. As root, restart the network services by typing service network restart. Then confirm the new
ip addresses with ifconfig. Confirm that search domain by inspecting /etc/resolv.conf if the file
has reverted then edit it again. (The change stuck after the second time I edited the file while
walking through this lab.) Also confirm the new hostname with hostname.
B Warning
You must perform this step in VMware; do not use PuTTY.

7.3. 11gR2 Bug Workaround
Several NFS appliances and big-iron cluster filesystems are very common in large cluster database
deployments. We will use OCFS2 here to practice 11gR2 RAC with a filesystem.
Note: 11gR2 clusterware has a bug it does allow cluster files on OCFS2 (even though this is a
supported configuration). To work around this bug, we will present the OCFS2 directory to clusterware
with a local "loopback" NFS mount.
1. As the root user, Follow the steps below to setup the local NFS mount on node collabn1.

# create an NFS mount on u61 which points back to u51
localhost:/u51 /u61 nfs \
rw,bg,hard,nointr,rsize=32768,wsize=32768,tcp,vers=3,timeo=600,noac

2. Repeat all of these steps on node collabn2.

# create an NFS mount on u61 which points back to u51
localhost:/u51 /u61 nfs \
rw,bg,hard,nointr,rsize=32768,wsize=32768,tcp,vers=3,timeo=600,noac

10. Rolling Patches
10.1. Patching Grid and Database Software
10.1.1. Patching Overview
Figure 230
Upgrades to the "base version" are very complicated and always use the full Oracle installer (runIn-
staller). Major new features are only introduced in new base versions.
Patch Sets are also installed with the full Oracle installer. Historically, each patchset was installed
on top of the base version (top row in the illustration) by using runInstaller. However, starting with
11.2.0.2 the patch sets can be installed as a new installation without the base version. It is now
recommended to perform Patch Set upgrades "out-of-place" in this manner. Sometimes new features
are also included with Patch Sets (for example RAT data collection).
PSUs are installed with opatch. They include security updates and important bug fixes. They are
released quarterly and always include the latest CPU.
CPUs are installed with opatch. CPUs include only security updates, and are also released quarterly.
They cannot be applied after you have applied any PSU. (Until you upgrade to a new patch set or base
version.)
10.1.2. Support Status and Known Issues
Before performing any installation or upgrade of Oracle, you should always check the Support Status
and Known Issues for the release. Metalink note 161818.1 is always the starting point open this note
and review it. Next, follow the link for 11.2.0.X to metalink note 880782.1 and review that note. Finally,
follow the link to note 880707.1 and review the known issues with Oracle 11.2.0.1 which is the version
we will be using for this lab.
i Information
177
Rolling Patches
These notes have been saved as HTML files on the the virtual DVD provided by the instructor. It is
available in your Virtual RAC Nodes at /mnt/cdrom5.
10.1.3. Practice Rolling Application
For this lab, the instructor has provided recent PSUs. PSUs and CPUs are collections of one-off patches.
One-off patches can only be applied to an Oracle database in a rolling manner if they have been certified
for rolling upgrades.
1. Review the installation instructions. We're going to install three patches and you can find the
README files at these locations:
/mnt/cdrom5/patch/psu6-db-12419378/12419378/README.html
/mnt/cdrom5/patch/psu2-gi-9655006/README.html
/mnt/cdrom5/patch/opatch-6880880/README.txt
2. First we need to update the OPatch utility. Find patch 6880880 on the instructor-provided
CDROM and unzip it directly into both the grid home and the database home. Before unzipping
the file, backup the existing OPatch programs.
$ oenv
SIDs here are: grid +ASM1 RAC1
ORACLE_SID = [RAC1] ? grid
$ cd $ORACLE_HOME
$ tar czvf /gi-opatch-backup_$(date +%Y-%m-%d).tgz OPatch/
...
$ unzip -o /mnt/cdrom*/patch/opatch-6880880/p6880880_112000_LINUX.zip
...
$ OPatch/opatch version
Invoking OPatch 11.2.0.1.5
OPatch Version: 11.2.0.1.5
OPatch succeeded.
$ oenv
ORACLE_SID = [grid] ? RAC1
$ cd $ORACLE_HOME
$ mv OPatch OPatch.backup
$ unzip /mnt/cdrom*/patch/opatch-6880880/p6880880_112000_LINUX.zip
...
$ OPatch/opatch version
OPatch Version: 11.2.0.1.5
OPatch succeeded.
3. Repeat the previous step on node collabn2.
$ ssh collabn2
... repeat previous step ...
$ exit

4. This new version of OPatch requires an "OCM response file" for certain operations. Use the
OCM utility to generate this file. We don't want to configure OCM; leave your username blank
and confirm that "YES" you don't want to enter any account information.

5. Find the Grid Infrastructure and Database PSUs on the instructor-provided DVD.
$ cd /mnt/cdrom5/patch
$ ls

6. We know that these PSUs can be applied in a rolling manner, but verify this.
$ for D in psu*/[0-9]*; do
echo -n $D:

installing) but verify this too.

8. The automated patch application process will automatically shutdown and restart all database
processes on the node. However, we don't want the automatic restart because we are applying
two PSUs (one for grid and one for database). Disable the instance auto-start for node collabn1
and manually shutdown the instance for patch application.
i Information
On a production system, all active connections would need to be migrated to the other instance
before doing this (for example, with services).
collabn1$ srvctl disable instance -d rac -i RAC1

collabn1$ srvctl stop instance -d rac -i RAC1
9. We will use automated patch application to apply the grid infrastructure PSU. First use oenv to
enter the grid environment, then switch to the root user and run opatch auto.
Note: any database processes on this node will be automatically shutdown during patching.
When prompted for the OCM response file path, enter /home/oracle/ocm.rsp and press enter.
When prompted about the grid home being shared, type yes to continue.
B Warning
Make sure to specify the grid home on the command line so that the patch doesn't find the database
home and apply itself there in addition.

11. Enable and start the Oracle database instance on node collabn1. After the instance is running,
stop and disable the instance on node collabn2. There should be no point at which the database is
not running.
$ srvctl enable instance -d rac -i RAC1

$ srvctl start instance -d rac -i RAC1
i Information
On a production system, all active connections would need to be migrated to the other instance at
this point (for example, with services).
$ srvctl disable instance -d rac -i RAC2

$ srvctl stop instance -d rac -i RAC2
12. Use automated patch application to apply the grid infrastructure PSU to collabn2.
Note: any database processes on this node will be automatically shutdown during patching.
Copy the OCM response file (/home/oracle/ocm.rsp) to collabn2.
When prompted about the grid home being shared, type yes to continue.
B Warning
Make sure to specify the grid home on the command line so that the patch doesn't find the database
home and apply itself there in addition.

11. Clusterware Testing
11.1. Clusterware and Fencing
The goal of this lab is to demonstrate Oracle Clusterwares fencing ability by forcing a configuration
that will trigger Oracle Clusterwares built-in fencing features. With Oracle Clusterware, fencing is
handled at the node level by rebooting the non-responsive or failed node. This is similar to the as Shoot
The Other Machine In The Head (STOMITH) algorithm, but its really a suicide instead of affecting
the other machine. There are many good sources for more information online. For more information, I
highly recommend reading this blog posting from Kevin Closson (now with Oracle):
http://kevinclosson.wordpress.com/2007/08/17/oracle-clusterware-and-fencingagain/
1. Start with a normal, running cluster with the database instances up and running.
2. Monitor the logfiles for clusterware on each node. On each node, start a new window and run the
following command:
[oracle@<node_name> ]$ tail -f \
> /u01/grid/oracle/product/11.2.0/grid_1/log/hostname -s/crsd/crsd.log
> /u01/grid/oracle/product/11.2.0/grid_1/log/hostname -s/cssd/ocssd.log
3. We will simulate unplugging the network interface by taking one of the private network
interfaces down. On the collabn2 node, take the private network interface down by running the
following command (as the root user):
[root@collabn2 ]# ifconfig eth1 down
189
Clusterware Testing
Alternatively, you can also simulate this by physically taking the HostOnly network adapter
offline in VMware.
Figure 231
Figure 232
4. Following this command, watch the logfiles you began monitoring in step 2 above. You should
see errors in those logfiles and eventually (could take a minute or two, literally) you will observe
one node reboot itself.
If you used ifconfig to trigger a failure, then the node will rejoin the cluster and the instance
should start automatically.
If you used VMware to trigger a failure then the node will not rejoin the cluster.
Which file has the error messages that indicate why the node is not rejoining the cluster?
Is the node that reboots always the same as the node with the failure? Why or why not?
11.2. Clusterware Callouts
The goal of this lab is to demonstrate Oracle Fast Application Notification (FAN) Callouts. In versions
prior to 11g, these were also known as Oracle Clusterware Callouts.
190
Clusterware Callouts
This feature is a relatively little-known capability for Oracle Clusterware to fire a script (or a whole
directory full of them) to perform whatever tasks you may want performed when a cluster-wide event
happens.
For more information, consult the documentation here: http://download.oracle.com/docs/
cd/B28359_01/rac.111/b28254/hafeats.htm#BABGCEBF
For this exercise, well configure some FAN callout scripts on each node and then trigger various cluster
events to see how each one triggers the callout script.
1. Start with a normal, running cluster with both nodes up and running.
2. From a shell prompt (logged in as oracle) on each server, navigate to
/u01/grid/oracle/product/11.2.0/grid_1/racg/usrco. Create file there called callout1.sh us-
ing vi (or your favorite editor). The contents of the file should be this:
#!/bin/ksh
umask 022
FAN_LOGFILE=/tmp/hostname_uptime.log
echo $* "reported="date >> $FAN_LOGFILE &
B Warning
Note the use of backticks around the hostname and date commands.
3. Make sure that the permissions on the file are set to 755 using the following command:
[oracle@<node_name> ]$ chmod 755 \

> /u01/grid/oracle/product/11.2.0/grid_1/racg/usrcocallout1.sh
4. Monitor the logfiles for clusterware on each node. On each node, start a new window and run the
following command:
/u01/grid/oracle/product/11.2.0/grid_1/log/hostname -s/crsd/crsd.log
5. Next, we need to trigger an event that will cause the callout to fire. One such event is node
shutdown. Shutdown the clusterware on node collabn2.
[root@collabn2 ]# crsctl stop crs

Stopping resources.
This could take several minutes.
Successfully stopped Oracle Clusterware resources
Stopping Cluster Synchronization Services.
Shutting down the Cluster Synchronization Services daemon.
Shutdown request successfully issued.
6. Following this command, watch the logfiles you began monitoring in step 2 above. Because we
set long timeouts on our test cluster, you might have to wait for a few minutes before you see
anything.
191
Clusterware Testing
You should eventually observe entries noting that the node has failed and shortly following that,
you should observe an entry placed in the /tmp/<hostname>_uptime.log file indicating that the
node is down.
Note which members run the clusterware callout script. (A surviving member could run
commands to notify clients and/or application servers that one of the cluster nodes has died.)
You should see these messages in the /tmp/*.log files:
NODE VERSION=1.0 host=collabn2 incarn=0 status=nodedown

reason=public_nw_down timestamp=30-Aug-2009 01:56:12 reported=Sun Aug
30 01:56:13 CDT 2009
NODE VERSION=1.0 host=collabn2 incarn=147028525 status=nodedown

reason=member_leave timestamp=30-Aug-2009 01:57:19 reported=Sun Aug
30 01:57:20 CDT 2009
7. Restart the clusterware. Is there a node up event?
8. Try powering off one of the virtual machines is there an difference from the previous test? What
if you disable a linux network interface or VMware network card?
9. You may conduct more testing, if you wish. Another interesting event is a database instance
going down unexpectedly. Come back to this lab after installing a database to test that situation.

i Information
One popular use for clusterware callouts is to notify administrators (possibly via email) that a
cluster event has occurred. You may use the arguments to the script (youll see the arguments in
the logfile weve created) to conditionally perform notification as well. For example, you may not
want to notify anyone unless a node crashes unexpectedly. By testing some of these arguments,
you may be able to send notifications only when desired.
192
12. Services, Failover and Load Balancing
12.1. Install Instant Client
In order to test failover it would be best to connect from a client outside the cluster, so we'll start by
downloading and installing Oracle's Basic Instant Client (English-only) and the Instant Client SQLPlus
package.
1. Login to the node collabn1 as user oracle and open a connection to the database as SYSDBA
and unlock the SH user account. Also grant DBA access.
SQL> alter user sh identified by sh account unlock;
User altered.
SQL> grant dba to sh;
Grant succeeded.
2. Download Oracle's Basic (English-only) Instant Client and Oracle's Instant Client SQLPlus
package. The lab instructor may have made them available, or they can also be downloaded from
Oracle's website here:
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/topics/winsoft-085727.html
The two files you need are:
instantclient-basiclite-*.zip
instantclient-sqlplus-*.zip
193
Services, Failover and Load Balancing
3. Each archive contains a folder named "instantclient_11_2". Extract this folder (from both archives)
into C:\. (In Explorer you can drag-and-drop or you can choose "Extract All" from the File menu.)
Figure 233
4. Edit c:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts and add IP addresses for the RAC nodes.

i Information
Your database connections won't work without this - you can't just create a tnsnames that uses IP
addresses. Try it out by doing step 4 a few times in a row before this step. Does step 4 sometimes
just hang? Do you know why? We'll explore it more later...

12.2. Service Failover
1. Login to collabn1 as the oracle user. Create a new service svctest with RAC1 as a preferred
instance and RAC2 as an available instance. This means that it will normally run on the RAC1
instance but will failover to the RAC2 instance if RAC1 becomes unavailable.
196
Service Failover
collabn1:/home/oracle[RAC1]$ srvctl add service -d RAC

-s svctest -r RAC1 -a RAC2 -P BASIC
collabn1:/home/oracle[RAC1]$ srvctl start service -d RAC
-s svctest
2. Examine where the service is running by checking lsnrctl on both nodes and looking at the
SERVICE_NAMES init parameter on both nodes.
B Warning
You should never directly change the SERVICE_NAMES init parameter on a RAC database!! This
parameter is maintained automatically by the clusterware.

4. Wait a few moments and then repeat step 2. What has happened?
5. Restart the instance that you killed.

i Information
This does not initiate any instance recovery at all. Do you know why?
collabn1:/home/oracle[RAC1]$ srvctl status database -d RAC

Instance RAC1 is not running on node collabn1
collabn1:/home/oracle[RAC1]$ srvctl start instance -d RAC -i RAC1
collabn1:/home/oracle[RAC1]$
6. Repeat step 2. Where is the service running now?
7. Manually failover the service. Confirm where it is now running. Note that this does not
disconnect any current sessions
collabn1:/home/oracle[RAC1]$ srvctl relocate service -d RAC -s svctest -i RAC2 -t

RAC1
12.3. Connection Failover
IMPORTANT NOTE:This lab was written for Oracle 11gR1 and the information here is crucial when
working with this and older versions. It will demonstrate how failover works and the importance of
using proper addresses in TNSNAMES. However, starting with 11gR2 the node VIPs should not be used
to connect to the database the SCAN VIP should always be used instead. The 11gR2 client has this
same failover functionality built-in for multiple SCAN VIPs returned on a single DNS entry.
198
Connection Failover
1. On your local computer edit the TNSNAMES.ORA file used by the Instance Client. Add two
entries called CFTEST and CFTEST-NOVIP which connect to the RAC service with no load
balancing. Explicitly enable connection failover even though it is already enabled by default
anyway. Don't use the VIP's for the second entry (this is wrong but we'll test it to see what
happens).
C:\instantclient_11_2> notepad c:\instantclient_11_2\tnsnames.ora
CFTEST =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = collabn1-vip)(PORT = 1521))
(LOAD_BALANCE = no)
(FAILOVER = yes)
(CONNECT_DATA =
)
)
CFTEST-NOVIP =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = collabn1)(PORT = 1521))
(LOAD_BALANCE = no)
(FAILOVER = yes)
(CONNECT_DATA =
)
)
2. On collabn1 check the number of established connections from the listener to the RAC service.
Connect from Windows to CFTEST and CFTEST-NOVIP several times and then check the lsnrctl
statistics again. All connections from the Windows machine are attaching to listener on collabn1
but this listener is spreading the connections between both instances.
First look at the number of established connections on node 1. It's ok if they're not all zero.

Service "RAC.vm.ardentperf.com" has 2 instance(s).
service...
Handler(s):
"DEDICATED" established:0refused:0 state:ready
LOCAL SERVER
REMOTE SERVER
service...
Handler(s):
REMOTE SERVER
199
Second, connect to the database several times in a row and use both service names. You can exit
each session after you check how long it takes to connect. All of the sessions should connect
quickly. Count the number of times you connect.
C:\instantclient_11_2> sqlplus sh/sh@CFTEST

C:\instantclient_11_2> sqlplus sh/sh@CFTEST-NOVIP
Third, check the listener connections on node 1 again. Make sure that the total number of
established connections shows an increase by at least the same number of sessions that you
connected. (That is, confirm that all of your sessions connected to this node.) There might be
more connections; that's ok.
Also, notice how the listener is distributing connections to both instances - even though our client
is only connecting to the listener on one node. It doesn't matter how many connections go to each
instance; it's ok of you don't see 3 and 3.

Connection Failover
3. In the VMware Console, make sure that you have opened the node collabn1 which you are
connecting to from Windows. Simulate a complete node failure by choosing Power Off from the
Virtual Machine menu.
Figure 237
4. Wait about a minute (so that the cluster can detect the failed node). Then, from Windows, connect
to the CFTEST and CFTEST-VIP services again. What happens when you use the NOVIP
connection?

i Information
The purpose of this lab is to demonstrate why you should always use VIP connections!
201
12.4. Runtime Failover
1. Power on collabn1 from the VMware Console. After it has started, login as the oracle user and
failback the svctest service which we created earlier in this lab.
Figure 238
[root@collabn1 ]# srvctl status database -d RAC


collabn1:/home/oracle[RAC1]$ srvctl relocate service -d RAC -s svctest -i RAC2 -t

2. On your local computer edit the TNSNAMES.ORA file used by the Instance Client. Add
a new entry called SVCTEST which connects to the svctest service and make sure that the
connection works. Also check your TAF settings after connecting. (Side note: we did not
configure this service with a domain name, but you can't connect to it unless you specify one in
the TNSNAMES entry. Try it. Where did this domain name come from?)
C:\instantclient_11_2> notepad c:\instantclient_11_2\tnsnames.ora

where p.prod_id = s.prod_id and c.cust_id = s.cust_id;
12.5. Client Load Balancing
Note: This lab was written for 11.1 and does not show the same behavior in 11.2 - it needs to be
updated!

3. Disable server-side load balancing on both instances by clearing the REMOTE_LISTENER

init param and re-registering. Before registering with the listeners, restart them to reset the
connection statistics.

4. In your other connected SQLPlus session, keep an eye on the balance of connections. At the
same time, open a new shell session and run this script which will open 160 connections to the
database.
a=160; while [ $a -gt 0 ]; do

sqlplus sh/sh@RAC &
a=$((a-1))
done
How were the connections distributed between the database instances during client-side load
balancing?
i Information
Note: In 11.2 these connections are load balanced across the SCAN listeners instead of the RAC
nodes.
5. Terminate all of the sqlplus sessions by running these two commands. After you run the second
command, press <Ctrl-C> after you start seeing the message "no more job".
killall sqlplus
while true; do fg; done
<Ctrl-C>
12.6. Server Load Balancing
1. Open a SQLPlus session on the database and confirm that there are no sessions for the SH user.
SQL> select inst_id, count(*) from gv$session

where username='SH' group by inst_id;
no rows selected
206
Server Load Balancing
If there are any sessions, you can kill them with the output of this SQL:
select 'alter system disconnect session '''|| sid||','||serial#||''' immediate;'

from v$session where username='SH';
2. Re-enable server-side load balancing on both instances by setting the REMOTE_LISTENER init
parameter back to its default (collab-scan:1521) and re-registering. Before registering with the
listeners, restart them to reset the connection statistics.
SQL> alter system set remote_listener='collab-scan:1521';
System altered.


Why is it true that you only need to run the "alter system" command once, but you need to run the
lsnrctl command on both nodes?

3. Edit the TNSNAMES.ORA file on the server you're connected to. Add an entry called LBTEST
that connects to the RAC service - but only uses one listener.

4. In your other connected SQLPlus session, keep an eye on the balance of connections. At the
same time, open a new shell session and run this script which will open 160 connections to the
database - but this time it will use the LBTEST connection.
a=160; while [ $a -gt 0 ]; do

sqlplus sh/sh@LBTEST &
a=$((a-1))
done
How were the connections distributed between the database instances during server-side load

3. Tom Kytes runstats package is available from http://asktom.oracle.com/pls/

apex/ASKTOM.download_file?p_file=6551378329289980701. First, create the
run_stats global temporary table:
create global temporary table run_stats

( runid varchar2(15),
name varchar2(80),
value int )
on commit preserve rows;
4. Next, create the stats view.
create or replace view stats

where a.statistic# = b.statistic#
union all
select 'LATCH.' || name, gets

select 'STAT...Elapsed Time', hsecs from v$timer;
5. Finally, create the runstats package itself:

13.2. Sequence Test
The first test we will perform is a sequence test. Sequential fields often become points of contention in
cluster database systems.
1. First, open a connection to the database as SYSDBA on both nodes.
2. Setup a table and several sequence types for comparison. Also enable serveroutput.
create table SEQTEST (seqid varchar2(30), highval number);

insert into SEQTEST values ('MYTABLE', 1);
commit;
create sequence SEQTEST_O_NC ORDER NOCACHE;

create sequence SEQTEST_O_C ORDER CACHE 100;
create sequence SEQTEST_NO_NC NOORDER NOCACHE;
211
RAC SQL and PLSQL
create sequence SEQTEST_NO_C NOORDER CACHE 100;
set serveroutput on;
3. On node collabn1 measure the differences between various methods. Run this two or three times
to warm up the machines. (Note: subtract 500 from the runtimes reported (in hsecs) to account
for time in DBMS_LOCK.SLEEP.)
exec runstats_pkg.rs_start;
DECLARE
myval number;
BEGIN
FOR counter IN 1..10
LOOP
select highval into myval from SEQTEST where seqid='MYTABLE' for
update;
update SEQTEST set highval=highval+1 where seqid='MYTABLE';
dbms_lock.sleep(0.5);
commit;
END LOOP;
END;
/
exec runstats_pkg.rs_middle;
DECLARE
myval number;
BEGIN
LOOP
myval := SEQTEST_O_C.NEXTVAL;
commit;
END LOOP;
END;
/
exec runstats_pkg.rs_stop;
4. On the other node - collabn2 - start an anonymous PL/SQL block that retrieves a value every half
second.
DECLARE
myval number;
BEGIN
LOOP
select highval into myval from SEQTEST where seqid='MYTABLE' for
update;
update SEQTEST set highval=highval+1 where seqid='MYTABLE';
select SEQTEST_O_NC.NEXTVAL into myval from dual;
select SEQTEST_O_C.NEXTVAL into myval from dual;
select SEQTEST_NO_NC.NEXTVAL into myval from dual;
select SEQTEST_NO_C.NEXTVAL into myval from dual;
commit;
END LOOP;
212
Parallel Query Test
END;
/
5. Repeat step 3 on node collabn1. See how the results are different as soon as cluster contention is
introduced.
6. Perform more tests, comparing different types of sequences. What conclusions can you draw
about sequences? Does caching matter for ORDER sequences?
exec runstats_pkg.rs_start;
DECLARE
myval number;
BEGIN
LOOP
myval := SEQTEST_O_NC.NEXTVAL;
commit;
END LOOP;
END;
/
exec runstats_pkg.rs_middle;
DECLARE
myval number;
BEGIN
LOOP
myval := SEQTEST_O_C.NEXTVAL;
commit;
END LOOP;
END;
/
exec runstats_pkg.rs_stop;
13.3. Parallel Query Test
1. Login to the node collabn1 and open a connection to the database as SYSDBA and unlock the SH
user account. Also grant it DBA access.
SQL> alter user sh identified by sh account unlock;
User altered.
SQL> grant dba to sh;
Grant succeeded.
213
RAC SQL and PLSQL
2. Reconnect to the database as the sh user with the RAC1 service name. Check your SID and the
service you're connected to.
SQL> connect sh/sh@RAC1

Connected.
SQL> select sid from v$mystat where rownum=1;
SID
----------
145
SQL> col sid format 9999

SQL> col program format a40
SQL> set linesize 100
SQL> select sid, username, program, service_name from v$session where
username='SH';
SID USERNAME PROGRAM

SERVICE_NAME
----- ---------- ----------------------------------------
--------------
145 SH sqlplus@collabn1.vm.ardentperf.com (TNS
RAC.vm.ardent
3. Enable tracing and run a parallel query on the SH schema. Look for the trace files to determine
where the slaves ran. Which nodes to the slaves run on?
exec dbms_session.set_identifier('racpx01');
alter session set tracefile_identifier = 'racpx01';
exec dbms_monitor.client_id_trace_enable(client_id=>'racpx01');
select /*+parallel*/ p.prod_name, sum(s.amount_sold)

from products p, sales s
where p.prod_id = s.prod_id
group by p.prod_name;
exec dbms_monitor.client_id_trace_disable(client_id=>'racpx01');
SQL> col value format a60

SQL> select inst_id, value from gv$parameter where name='user_dump_dest';
INST_ID VALUE
----------

SQL> host ssh collabn2 ls -sh /u01/app/oracle/diag/rdbms/rac/RAC2/trace/*racpx01.trc
4. Create a new service which only runs on node 2 and repeat the test (from collabn1). Which
nodes to the slaves run on now? How is this different from Oracle 10g?

13.4. Scheduler Test
In RAC, PL/SQL can execute on either node - and this must be taken into account when processes are
architected. We will take a brief look at this property through two simple tests.
215
RAC SQL and PLSQL
First we'll have a look at the scheduler. Note that this lab relies on the PXTEST service created in the
Parallel Query Test .
1. Login to the node collabn1 as oracle and confirm that the pxtest service is running on instance
RAC2.
collabn1:/home/oracle[RAC1]$ srvctl status service -d RAC -s pxtest

Service pxtest is running on instance(s) RAC2
2. Shutdown the service.
collabn1:/home/oracle[RAC1]$ srvctl stop service -d RAC -s pxtest

3. Login to the RAC1 service as sh and create a job class and a PL/SQL procedure that we can
execute from the job. Note that the service name is case sensitive!
collabn1:/home/oracle[RAC1]$ sqlplus sh/sh@RAC1
exec dbms_scheduler.create_job_class('TESTOFF1',service=>'pxtest');
create or replace procedure traceme(id varchar2) as

x number;
begin
execute immediate 'alter session set tracefile_identifier=||id||';
dbms_session.session_trace_enable(true,true);
select count(*) into x from sh.customers;
dbms_session.session_trace_disable();
end;
/
4. Schedule the job to run immediately with the job class that's tied to the PXTEST service. Check
to see if it ran. Query the user_schedule_jobs table a few times in a row. Did anything happen?
select job_name, schedule_type, job_class, enabled, auto_drop, state
from user_scheduler_jobs;
begin
dbms_scheduler.create_job('TESTJOB1','PLSQL_BLOCK',
job_action=>'traceme(scheduler01);',
job_class=>'TESTOFF1',enabled=>true);
end;
/
5. Startup the PXTEST service and check the status of the job again. Make sure to query the
user_schedule_jobs table a few times in a row. (Be patient for at least one minute.) Did the job
execute? If so, then on which node?
216
File Test
host srvctl start service -d RAC -s pxtest
host ssh collabn2 ls -sh

/u01/app/oracle/diag/rdbms/rac/RAC2/trace/*scheduler01.trc
/u01/app/oracle/diag/rdbms/rac/RAC1/trace/*scheduler01.trc
6. Modify the PXTEST service to run on both nodes and stop it.
SQL> host srvctl modify service -d RAC -s pxtest -n -i RAC1,RAC2
SQL> host srvctl stop service -d RAC -s pxtest
7. Submit 20 jobs to run the program and then enable the service. (This way all of the jobs should
get scheduled nearly concurrently.) On which node(s) did they execute?
begin
FOR i IN 10..29
LOOP
dbms_scheduler.create_job('TESTJOB'||i,'PLSQL_BLOCK',
job_action=>'traceme(scheduler'||i||);',
job_class=>'TESTOFF1',enabled=>true);
END LOOP;
end;
/
SQL> host srvctl start service -d RAC -s pxtest

/u01/app/oracle/diag/rdbms/rac/RAC2/trace/*scheduler*.trc
/u01/app/oracle/diag/rdbms/rac/RAC1/trace/*scheduler*.trc
13.5. File Test
Our second PL/SQL test will look at the UTL_FILE package. With any PL/SQL operations on RAC you
must be aware that the code could execute on any node where its service lives. This could also impact
packages like DBMS_PIPE, UTL_MAIL, UTL_HTTP (proxy server source IP rules for example), or
even DBMS_RLS (refreshing policies).
217
RAC SQL and PLSQL
1. Login to RAC1 as sh and create a file that we can try reading later.
collabn1:/home/oracle[RAC1]$ sqlplus sh/sh@RAC1
create directory orahome as '/home/oracle';
declare
fl utl_file.file_type;
begin
fl := utl_file.fopen('ORAHOME','data.txt','w');
utl_file.put_line(fl, 'Some sample data for an oracle test.',
TRUE);
utl_file.fclose(fl);
end;
/
2. Exit SQLPLUS. At the prompt, copy this command to connect to the RAC service as sh againand
attempt to read the file you just wrote. Run this command 10-20 times in a row. (Cut-and-paste is
recommended.) What happens? Why?
sqlplus -S sh/sh@RAC <<EOF

declare
fl utl_file.file_type;
data varchar2(1024);
begin
fl := utl_file.fopen('ORAHOME','data.txt','r');
utl_file.get_line(fl, data);
utl_file.fclose(fl);
end;
/
exit;
EOF
218
14. RAC Backups and Recovery
14.1. Setup Backups
During this lab we will intentionally misconfigure the cluster database backups and make some common
mistakes with local, non-shared storage.
1. Login to a terminal on collabn1 as the user oracle.
2. On collabn1 create a directory /u01/app/oradata and try to configure it as the Flash Recovery
Area (FRA) through the init param db_recovery_file_dest. The operation will fail.
collabn1:/home/oracle[RAC1]$ mkdir /u01/app/oradata
collabn1:/home/oracle[RAC1]$ ss

i Information
The error occurred on the remote node, but was reported here. It was also recorded on the remote
node do you know where it is recorded? What kind of monitoring would need to be in place to
be proactively alerted by messages like this?
3. Now create the directory on the remote node and re-run the operation. This should succeed but it
is still a poor configuration; we will investigate the reasons later in this lab.
219

4. Shutdown the database across the cluster. Then mount it on collabn1 and put the database into
archivelog mode. No archivelog destination is assigned where will the archivelogs go and why?
i Information
You do not need to disable the cluster_database init param for this.

You might have to wait for a few minutes. Check the output of "srvctl status database -d RAC" too.
5. Disable flashback database. You do not need to shutdown for the disable operation.
SQL> alter database flashback off;

Database altered.
221
14.3. Block Change Tracking
1. Enable block change tracking on the database and explicitly choose the local FRA destination.
(Typically the block change tracking file is created in the OMF DB destination rather than the
FRA.)
SQL> alter database enable block change tracking

2 using file '/u01/app/oradata/changetracking.ctf';
What happens? Make sure to check the alert logs. Try it with only one instance open, and then
open the other instance to see what happens.
2. Disable block change tracking.
