Crerating an OCM Response File for a GI Home Prior to Patching
Before applying any patches to the GI home, an ocm.rsp file should be created. As the GI owner, set the GI environment:
$ export ORACLE_BASE=/opt/app
$ export ORACLE_HOME=$ORACLE_HOME/11.2.0/grid
Create the ocm.rsp file:
$ $ORACLE_HOME/OPatch/ocm/bin/emocmrsp
When prompted for an email address, either leave blank or provide an email address. The file will be created in the directory from which the above command was executed.
For example, when applying a patch to GI and the patch files have been unzipped to a directory, the opatch command will be executed as follows:
# opatch auto <directory location of patch files> -oh <GI HOME>
When pompted:
OPatch is bundled with OCM, Enter the absolute OCM response file path:
Enter the patch of the ocm.rsp file e.g.
/home/oracle/ocm.rsp
and continue with the patch.
$ export ORACLE_BASE=/opt/app
$ export ORACLE_HOME=$ORACLE_HOME/11.2.0/grid
Create the ocm.rsp file:
$ $ORACLE_HOME/OPatch/ocm/bin/emocmrsp
When prompted for an email address, either leave blank or provide an email address. The file will be created in the directory from which the above command was executed.
For example, when applying a patch to GI and the patch files have been unzipped to a directory, the opatch command will be executed as follows:

Starting/Stopping a RAC Instance
2-node RAC cluster setup with instances RAC1 on node rac01 and RAC2 on node rac02 and ORACLE_UNQNAME=RAC. Need to shutdown RAC2 on node rac02 so the server can brought down for system maintenance.
Stop the instance on rac02 first as oracle
$ cd $ORACLE_HOME/bin
$ srvctl stop instance -d RAC -i RAC2
Check the status of the instance
$ srvctl status database -d RAC
Instance RAC1 is running on node rac01
Instance RAC2 is running on node rac02
Now stop the cluster services on rac02 as root
# cd /opt/app/11.2.0/grid/bin
# ./crsctl stop cluster -n rac02
After maintenance cycle is complete, start the cluster on node rac02
# ./crsctl start cluster -n rac02
Start the database instance RAC2 on node rac02
$ cd $ORACLE_HOME/bin
srvctl start instance -d rac -i RAC2
Start the EM console is necessary
$ emctl start dbconsole
Log location for OEM are located here:
$ORACLE_HOME/rac01_RAC/sysman/log
and
$ORACLE_HOME/rac02_RAC/sysman/log
Stop the instance on rac02 first as oracle
$ cd $ORACLE_HOME/bin
$ srvctl stop instance -d RAC -i RAC2
Check the status of the instance

Network Based Oracle Enterprise Linux Install
Using the HHTP method, create the following directories on 192.168.2.103
# mkdir /var/www/html/network-install
# mkdir /var/www/html/network-install/RPM
# mkdir /var/www/html/network-install/ISO
Copy the files from my OEL 5u4 DVD
# cp -r /media/Enterprise\ Linux\ dvd\ 20090908/* /var/www/html/network-install/RPM
Start the Apache web server
# httpd -k start
Start Firefox or a web browser and point to:
http://192.168.2.103/network-install/RPM/
Files should be visible
Next, create a Kickstart boot CD. From disk 1, I created an image of boot.iso located in the images directory. I used a Windows box since I had the disk 1 ISO on my local Windows machine. Use this to boot the new server.
Boot system, then at the boot prompt type
boot: linux askmethod
Installation Method select HTTP
Networking Device, choose eth0
Configure TCP/IP, in Enable IPv4 support, select Manual Configuration and disable IPv6 support
IPv4 address: 192.168.2.102/255.255.255.0
Gateway: 192.168.2.1
Leave Nameserver blank

Kill a Port
Trying to start an application, but the port it needs to bind is open. Usually this happens when the application crashes and fails to close any of its open ports.
Assume that I'm looking to 1780, since that what's my application binds to. Use lsof to list any open files used by that port
# lsof | grep 1780
Who's using that port?
# fuser -v 1780/tcp
USER PID ACCESS COMMAND
1780/tcp: root 22516 F.... uxwdog
redhat 22518 F.... ns-httpd
Got the process ID, so kill the process
# fuser -vk 1780/tcp
Check to make sure it's gone...

Creating a Bootable USB Stick
I've downloaded OEL 5u4 and created an ISO image on a DVD drive. I've installed this on of my test servers but come to find out that the other server does not have a DVD drive but a standard CD-ROM. Goal is to try and create a bootable USB stick.
Put DVD into drive. If DVD mount, un-mount it. OEL 5u4 automatically mount the DVD.
# umount /dev/hda
Put USB stick in USB and copy the contents of the DVD to the USB stick
# dd if=/dev/hda of=/media/disk/install.iso
This should work...

Creating a CentOS Repository for a 2-Node RAC
Current setup is a 2-node 11g Oracle RAC using a Dell desktop as a storage server. The two RAC nodes (rac01, rac02) access the storage server (nas01) using NFS. I used instructions from the following to build my RAC setup:
http://www.oracle-base.com/articles/11g/OracleDB11gR2RACInstallationOnLinuxUsingNFS.php
I'm going to build my private CentOS mirror on nas01. I used instructions from the following to build my private CentOS mirror:
http://nerdicism.com/2009/04/how-to-setup-up-a-private-centos-mirror/
I'm then going to update all three servers from CentOS 5.3 to CentOS 5.6.
Before I begin, I'm going to shutdown the database and cluster services on rac01 and rac02. I'll do this from rac01.
# su - oracle
$ srvctl stop database -d RAC
Check the status
$ srvctl status database -d RAC
Instance rac01 is not running on node rac01
Instance rac02 is not running on node rac02
Stop the listener and scan_listener
$ srvctl stop listener
$ srvctl stop scan_listener
Check the status of the listener and scan_listener
$ srvctl status listener
Listener LISTENER is enabled
Listener LISTENER is not running
$ srvctl status scan_listener
SCAN Listener LISTENER_SCAN1 is enabled
SCAN listener LISTENER_SCAN1 is not running
$ exit

On nas01, create the directory to hold all the RPMs
# mkdir -p /var/www/html/centos/5/os/x86_64
# mkdir -p /var/www/html/centos/5/updates/x86_64
Start Apache for my private mirror on nas01.
# httpd -k start
Download CentOS 5.6 OS from a mirror site and copy over to the /var/www/html/centos/5/os/x86_64 directory on nas01. In this case, there are 8 iso files. Download all the updates and copy over to /var/www/html/centos/5/updates/x86_64 on nas01.
The updates and OS ISOs were downloaded from the following locations:
http://www.mirror.facebook.net/centos/5.6/os/x86_64/RPMS/
http://www.mirror.facebook.net/centos/5.6/updates/x86_64/RPMS/
I used wget to download the RPMs from the updates directory as follows:
# wget -r -l1 --no-parent -A.RPM http://www.mirror.facebook.net/centos/5.6/updates/x86_64/RPMS/
From the wget documentation:
"More verbose, but the effect is the same. ‘-r -l1’ means to retrieve recursively (see
Chapter 3 [Recursive Download], page 24), with maximum depth of 1. ‘--no-parent’
means that references to the parent directory are ignored (see Section 4.3 [Directory-Based
Limits], page 27), and ‘-A.gif’ means to download only the gif files. ‘-A "*.gif"’ would
have worked too."
Extract the files from ISOs as follows:
# cd /var/www/html/centos/5/os/x86_64
# mkdir /tmp/mnt
# mount -o loop CentOS-5.6-x86_64-bin-1of8.iso /tmp/mnt

Running yum update on nas01 caused the update to hang. I then killed the process by hitting Ctrl+c. Then I tried rerunning yum update but got the following error:
"There are unfinished transactions remaining. You might consider running yum-complete-transaction to finish them."
yum-complete-transaction was not installed on nas01. I installed it as follows:
# yum install yum-utils-1.1.16-14.el5.centos.1.noarch.rpm
which was installed from my private mirror.
I ran yum-complete-transaction which completed the one remaining transaction I had.
I re-ran yum update and it completed successfully.

# yum update
Running yum update on nas01 caused the update to hang. I then killed the process by hitting Ctrl+c. Then I tried rerunning yum update but got the following error:
"There are unfinished transactions remaining. You might consider running yum-complete-transaction to finish them."
yum-complete-transaction was not installed on nas01. I installed it as follows:
# yum install yum-utils-1.1.16-14.el5.centos.1.noarch.rpm
which was installed from my private mirror.
I ran yum-complete-transaction which completed the one remaining transaction I had.
I re-ran yum update and it completed successfully.
