    RAC: single versio of CSS


    Hi

    I am trying to configure RAC 10g R2 on Oracle Enterprise Linux
    2.6.9-42.0.0.0 on my two home systems. Doing for testing purpose using
    NFS mount on ocfs file systems.

    While installing Oracle Clusterware I am getting this error.

    -------------------------------
    The installer has detected that you have configured single-instance
    version
    of Cluster Synchronization Services (CSS) on the following nodes in
    the
    cluster.

    node 2.
    -------------------------------

    Can you please suggest me how to fix this, or if this is not possible
    if not using
    shared storage ?

    Regards,
    Jagjeet Singh

    Hi Jagjeet,

      If I understand it right, you've no shared storage in place for your
    RAC install?

      This will be required Im afraid. The only supported option for NFS
    is to use a NAS attached device, but even then with specific platform/
    vendor certifications.

      If you want to have a test system you can play with, you could
    consider installing RAC over 2 virtual servers on the same phisical
    server, using VMWare. This will let you create a "virtual" shared
    storage device that can be seen from both VMs.

      Hope that helps,
      Bruno.

    Is it possible that you have an instance of css already running on
    that node (i.e. it may be started due to ASM) preventing the
    installation of the CRS?

    -----------------------------------------------Reply-----------------------------------------------
    Actually this is a fresh node,  no ASM instance is running.

    Can you please tell what things I need to check for this.

    Check the output of ps -ef|grep css on node 2.

    Hi,

    Thanks for this, really cssd was running, I just made it stop

    BUT new error - about my ocfs location.

    Oracle is saying it is not shared from all nodes.

    I have nfs mount my /u01_ocfs file systm to second node.  And I am
    able to see/edit this filesystem from other node also.

    I am not using any shared storage, just simple hard disk and nfs mount
    to second node.

    Can we install RAC using this configuration just for curiosity or want
    to see to running on my system.

    Regards,
    Jagjeet Singh

    That will not work. To run RAC you need a clustered file system (ASM,
    OCFS, etc.).

    NFS mount is not what you need. Check Oracle documentation and the web
    for storage alternatives - a cheap one for playing around could be
    iSCSI.

    And that is precisely the issue. You MUST have shared storage. And that
    doesn't mean sharing out the C drive in Windows. Read the concepts books
    at tahiti.oracle.com.
