Virtualization using Oracle VM VirtualBox for building two node Oracle RAC 11gR2 (11.2.0.3) cluster on OEL 6.1 using GNS (based on DNS and DHCP) with multiple private interconnects deploying HAIP feature

Revision 1.0 : 19th April 2012 : DISABLE SELINUX in order to create successfully ASM disks using ASMlib: See Annex 1

In the article you will have a look at how to use some Oracle VirtualBox features to build two node Oracle 11gR2 (11.2.0.3) RAC system on Oracle Enterprise Linux (OEL 6.1). The setup will implement a role separation with different users for Oracle RDBMS and Oracle GI that is, user oracle and grid respectively in order to split the responsibilities between DBAs and storage administrators. The article will show you how to configure DHCP and a sample DNS setup for GNS deployment. You will have a glimpse at deploying HAIP feature allowing up to four private interconnect interfaces.

An overview to Oracle Virtualization solutions can be seen here. You can see how to use Oracle VM VirtualBox to build a two node Solaris cluster here. For information related to building a RAC 11gR2 cluster on OEL without GNS click here.

In the article you will see how to configure Linux in an Oracle VM VirtualBox Virtual machines, install Oracle GI, Oracle RDBMS and will create a policy managed database and service.

The following software will be used:

Oracle 11gR2 (11.2.0.3) for Linux (x86-64). Patch 10404530. Download from MOS here.
Oracle Enterprise Linux OEL 6.1(x86-64). Download from here.
Oracle VM VirtualBox 4.1.2. Download from here.

Three virtual machines will be created and used.

OEL61A for RAC node oel61a
OEL61B for RAC node oel61b
OEL61 for DNS and DHCP server

Ideally a DNS server should be on a dedicated physical server not a part of the cluster. Due to limited resources in this article DNS server will be configured to meet the prerequisites for GI and RDBMS installation for later node addition.

Two virtual machines, OEL61A and OEL61B, will be configured for RAC nodes each with:

4GB RAM
300GB bootable disk (Disk space will be dynamically allocated not a fixed size pre-allocation)
NIC – bridged for public interface in RAC with address 192.168.2.21/22 (first IP 192.168.2.21 on oel61a and second IP 192.168.2.22 on node oel61b). These are public interface in RAC.
NIC – bridged for private interface in RAC with address 10.10.2.21/22 (first IP 10.10.2.21 on oel61a and second IP 10.10.2.22 on node oel61b). These are private interface in RAC.
NIC – bridged for private interface in RAC with address 10.10.5.21/22 (first IP 10.10.5.21 on oel61a and second IP 10.10.5.22 on node oel61b). These are private interface in RAC.
NIC – bridged for private interface in RAC with address 10.10.10.21/22 (first IP 10.10.10.21 on oel61a and second IP 10.10.10.22 on node oel61b). These are private interface in RAC.
5 10GB attached shared disks for the ASM storage. (Normal Redundancy ASM disk groups will be deployed).

Virtual machine OEL61 will be configured as follows (I will use it for add node later on):

4GB RAM
300GB bootable disk (Disk space will be dynamically allocated not a fixed size pre-allocation)
NIC – bridged for public interface in RAC with address 192.168.2.11
NIC – bridged for private interface in RAC with address 10.10.2.11
NIC – bridged for private interface in RAC with address 10.10.5.11
NIC – bridged for private interface in RAC with address 10.10.10.11

The interfaces’ IP addresses will be as show in the table 1 below.

	OEL61 – DNS server and for later add node process.	OEL61A RAC node oel61a	OEL61B RAC node oel61a
eth0	10.10.2.11	10.10.2.21	10.10.2.22
eth1	192.168.2.11	192.168.2.21	192.168.2.22
eth2	10.10.10.11	10.10.10.21	10.10.10.22
eth3	10.10.5.11	10.10.5.21	10.10.5.22

You have two options for time synchronization: an operating system configured network time protocol (NTP), or Oracle Cluster Time Synchronization Service. Oracle Cluster Time Synchronization Service is designed for organizations whose cluster servers are unable to access NTP services. If you use NTP, then the Oracle Cluster Time Synchronization daemon (ctssd) starts up in observer mode. If you do not have NTP daemons, then ctssd starts up in active mode and synchronizes time among cluster members without contacting an external time server. So there are two options:

For enabling the NTP make sure that /etc/sysconfig/ntpd has the line modified to include -x.

OPTIONS=”-x -u ntp:ntp -p /var/run/ntpd.pid”

For disabling the NTP make sure that the NTP service is stopped and disabled for auto-start and there is not configuration file.

/sbin/service ntpd stop

chkconfig ntpd off

mv /etc/ntp.conf to /etc/ntp.conf.org

In the article NTP is disabled.

Clone OEL61A to OEL61B

Right click the VM and select Clone or press CTRL+O. Enter the new name, mark the check box to reinitialize the MAC address of all network interfaces and press Next button. Here a new OEL61B VM is created from OEL61A.

Select Full Clone and press Clone.

Wait until the clone succeeds. This procedure creates a full copy of the original OEL61A including all of the 6 disks from OEL61A. As the intention is to have the five disks shared across both OEL61A and OEL61B I will drop the non OEL disks from OEL61B and will re-attach the shared disks to OEL61B.

After dropping the disks from OEL61B I re-attach the shared disks using the following commands.

E:vb>type oel61_att1.bat

VBoxManage storageattach OEL61B –storagectl “SATA Controller” –port 1 –device

Set up the networking

Make sure that you enable named service for auto-start issuing the following command.

chkconfig named on

Start the named service issuing the following command.

service named start

Disable the firewall by issuing the following command on
all nodes oel61, oel61a and oel61b as root.

chkconfig iptables off

For production systems it is strongly recommended to adjust the iptables rules so that you can have access to the DNS server listening on port 53. Here for simplicity the firewall is disabled.

Modify the /etc/resolv.conf file to reflect the DNS IP address specified by nameserver parameter and the domain specified by search parameter
on all nodes (oel61, oel61a and oel61b)

Check Failed on Nodes: [oel61b, oel61a]

Verification result of failed node: oel61b

Details:

–

PRVF-5636 : The DNS response time for an unreachable node exceeded “15000” ms on following nodes: oel61a,oel61b – Cause: The DNS response time for an unreachable node exceeded the value specified on nodes specified. – Action: Make sure that ‘options timeout’, ‘options attempts’ and ‘nameserver’ entries in file resolv.conf are proper. On HPUX these entries will be ‘retrans’, ‘retry’ and ‘nameserver’. On Solaris these will be ‘options retrans’, ‘options retry’ and ‘nameserver’.
