Does anyone have any experience creating extra VIP's for applications using RAC? I've created some extra VIP's by following the instructions in this link:
http://download-uk.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/rac.102/b14197/crschp.htm#sthref1042When I reboot the nodes my VIP's come back up without any problems. The just seem to be very flaky and will not restart on command for some reason. Here is the crs_stat output for my new VIP:
NAME=vip2-1 TYPE=application ACTION_SCRIPT=/apps/oracle/product/10.2/crs/bin/usrvip ACTIVE_PLACEMENT=1 AUTO_START=restore CHECK_INTERVAL=60 DESCRIPTION=vip2-1 FAILOVER_DELAY=0 FAILURE_INTERVAL=0 FAILURE_THRESHOLD=0 HOSTING_MEMBERS=lepfrdb01 OPTIONAL_RESOURCES= PLACEMENT=favored REQUIRED_RESOURCES= RESTART_ATTEMPTS=0 SCRIPT_TIMEOUT=60 START_TIMEOUT=0 STOP_TIMEOUT=0 UPTIME_THRESHOLD=7d USR_ORA_ALERT_NAME= USR_ORA_CHECK_TIMEOUT=0 USR_ORA_CONNECT_STR=/ as sysdba USR_ORA_DEBUG=0 USR_ORA_DISCONNECT=false USR_ORA_FLAGS= USR_ORA_IF=eth1 USR_ORA_INST_NOT_SHUTDOWN= USR_ORA_LANG= USR_ORA_NETMASK=255.255.255.0 USR_ORA_OPEN_MODE= USR_ORA_OPI=false USR_ORA_PFILE= USR_ORA_PRECONNECT=none USR_ORA_SRV= USR_ORA_START_TIMEOUT=0 USR_ORA_STOP_MODE=immediate USR_ORA_STOP_TIMEOUT=0 USR_ORA_VIP=10.0.1.27When I manually run crs_stop's and crs_start's of my VIP, it attempts on all 3 nodes and usually fails. I say "usually" because the odd time it will work. The logs aren't very helpful either because they just list the following info:
2008-11-18 14:18:11.810: [ CRSRES][1407371584]0Attempting to start `vip2-1` on member `lepfrdb01` 2008-11-18 14:18:20.925: [ CRSRES][1407371584]0Start of `vip2-1` on member `lepfrdb01` failed. 2008-11-18 14:18:20.935: [ CRSRES][1407371584]0startRunnable: setting CLI values 2008-11-18 14:18:20.937: [ CRSRES][1407371584]0Attempting to start `vip2-1` on member `lepfrdb02` 2008-11-18 14:18:29.999: [ CRSAPP][1407371584]0StartResource error for vip2-1 error code = 1 2008-11-18 14:18:33.050: [ CRSRES][1407371584]0Start of `vip2-1` on member `lepfrdb02` failed. 2008-11-18 14:18:33.064: [ CRSRES][1407371584]0Attempting to start `vip2-1` on member `lepfrdb03` 2008-11-18 14:18:42.177: [ CRSRES][1407371584]0Start of `vip2-1` on member `lepfrdb03` failed. 2008-11-18 14:18:42.183: [ CRSRES][1407371584]0CRS-1006: No more members to consider
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks. Stuart -- //www.freelists.org/webpage/oracle-l
