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. http://www.oracle.com/technology/obe/obe10gdb_vmware/index.html Hope that helps, Bruno.

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. -----------------------------------------------Reply-----------------------------------------------
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. -- Daniel A.
