Daniesh,

paste the content of installation log file, it will help me to know what exactly is happening at your end.

Daniesh,

This could be due to incorrect environment setting like $LD_LIBRARY_PATH or $SHLIB_PATH.

What is the version of CRS that you are installating and on which platform?

upload the contents of installation log file.

Daniesh,

At what step of installation you are getting this error?

Did you run cluster verification utility before starting the installation, if yes, does the results “passed” for this utility?

Daniesh,

1. Please read the folowing link for CPU patches. It will tell you when to apply patch:

http://www.oracle.com/technology/deploy/security/alerts.htm

2. catcpu.sql is not needed after you upgrade databases to higher versions.

If you are upgrading you need to run catupgrd.sql

Cheers!!!!!

Hi,

Adding to what Amit said, you can also revisit your backup policy.

If it allows you to create incremental backups, then go for it, as only the changed blocks will be backed up and less space will be consumed for next backup.

You did not mentioned the version of your DB, if it is 10g then it is worth to read about block_change_tracking feature of 10g.

Refer to following oracle documentation about Incremental backups:

Cheers!!!

Daniesh,

Let us suppose that you want to merge esgprod to eagprod.

1. check all the tablespace name on esgprod database.

2. create those tablespaces on eagprod database.

3. Take export of esgprod database.

4. import the data into eagprod database using export dump file.

You need not to make any changes to controlfile manually.

Cheers!!!

Hi Daniesh,

The easiest way is to take export dump of one prod database and then import

that into other prod database.

First of all check all the tablespace names existing in one database and then pre-create these tablespaces into other database and then you can start the import.

Cheers!!

Hi DK,

/3GB /PAE support is only available if you are using server with more than 4GB RAM.

If you have more than 4GB of RAM then you can change your server’s boot.ini file and put a /3GB /PAE in it and can utilize memory upto 16GB.

Hi,

In Standard edition you do not have the option of FGA.

You can simply set the audit_trail parameter and try to audit normally.

If it fails, please show us the method you used.

Cheers!!!!

Hi Ani,

It requires target database in either MOUNT or OPEN stage to duplicate database using RMAN. Could you give the complete RMAN command that you are using to duplicate the database?

[Saurabh Sood]

Anu,

1. Does the disk appear under v$asm_disk?

You can check it as:

select group_number, name, path from v$asm_disk;

2. Is this a new LUN created?

3. Have you used asmtoolg to delete any existing lun ?

If asmtoolg was used to delete any existing lun then it is mandatory to bounce the ASM instance and then try to add a lun from scratch.

Did the installation completed successfully?

[Saurabh Sood]

Hi,

The Installation guide available at OTN is the best to follow for installing RAC with ASM on AIX.

Check the following link:
