Thank you Tim for the excellent work put into developing the ol8-19-rac article.

I was wondering what changes I would need to make if I wanted to spin up a second RAC cluster on the same machine to configure the cluster with a physical standby database. Possibly straight forward, likely not.

Thanks in advance.

@oraclebase Thanks for your swift help with the previous issue. Facing this new issue.

It meant that there wasn't enough permission provided for oracle bin. So, I altered the permission using 'chmod' command. But even then it was not working. Upon checking it looks like, every time the content gets overwritten, since the files are newly unzipped every time.

Hi Tim

In server.xml for your Vagrant VMs please add compression="on" to the UpgradeProtocol.
It is not inherited from the Connector attributes. Tested in Tomcat 9.0.46

    <Connector port="8443" protocol="HTTP/1.1" SSLEnabled="true"

Hello Tim,
Is it possible for You to state somewhere in the repo the licensing for all the awesome scripts You created.
I would love to use them for few internal things , but I'm not sure if i can / should.
Unless everything is as it should be :)

Hi Tim,

While doing rac 19c installation , dns and node2 are up and no error ,but node1 fails :------
Please find the output , I got while node1 during installation .

I have several errors when running vagrant up for ol7_122. I am not sure if I do something wrong, or it is 'the system against me'. It looks like it is having checksum-troubles with yum @ oracle.

error.txt

Is this fixable? :)

The public network is defined like this in the Vagrantfiles of the machines:

config.vm.network "private_network", ip: var_public_ip, virtualbox__intnet: "public"

This creates an "internal network" which does not allow host->guest connections.

The alternative of connecting to one of the forwarded ports (1521 on the two nodes forwarded to 1521 and 1522 on the host) does not work - I suspect because the actual connection is moved to a different port after the initial connection to the listener and that will simply not work since communication on an arbitrary port is not allowed between guest and host.

I think this "public" network should be a virtualbox "host-only" network, which allows communication between all guests and the host.

This can be achieved by removing the virtualbox__intnet name from the definition of the network in all Vagrantfiles:

config.vm.network "private_network", ip: var_public_ip

With this change, I can successfully connect to an instance from the host, e.g. by using one of the scan listener IPs and port 1521.

Hello Guys,

git clone https://github.com/oraclebase/vagrant.git

after following the instruction for RAC installation(DNS Completed, node2-stuck, node1-pending), it gets stuck at the below point for an infinite time. Can you please help me?

Hi!

Please advise. Thanks.

I used the latest VirtualBox version 7.0, I used the latest Git and Vagrant software too. I recently formatted my desktop, so I decided to download all the latest versions of the software I need to have an Oracle 19c RAC database. However, I am getting these errors...

Vagrant is currently configured to create VirtualBox synced folders with
the SharedFoldersEnableSymlinksCreate option enabled. If the Vagrant
guest is not trusted, you may want to disable this option. For more
information on this option, please refer to the VirtualBox manual:

https://www.virtualbox.org/manual/ch04.html#sharedfolders

This option can be disabled globally with an environment variable:

VAGRANT_DISABLE_VBOXSYMLINKCREATE=1

or on a per folder basis within the Vagrantfile:

config.vm.synced_folder '/host/path', '/guest/path', SharedFoldersEnableSymlinksCreate: false

There was an error while executing VBoxManage, a CLI used by Vagrant

Hello Tim,
I'm trying to use the ol7_19. The dns and the node2 machine sets up itself and starts without any problems, however when I try to do a vagrant up on node1 I get the following error:

I have 16GB memory in my laptop and for this version it used to be enough.

Hello Tim,

I want to create new diskgroup and I guess it needs to be done via scripts instead of directly from VBOX as it reads "vagrantfile" when we bringup the machine. can you please share some steps to do that.

Thanks
Ajay

The issue:

PS V:\Virtual_Box\vagrant\rac\ol7_183\dns> vagrant up --provision
==> default: Running provisioner: shell...
    default: Running: inline script
: No such file or directorycripts/root_setup.sh
The SSH command responded with a non-zero exit status. Vagrant
assumes that this means the command failed. The output for this command
should be in the log above. Please read the output to determine what
went wrong.

How to fix it:
Download the dos2unix and convert all scritps files to unix format.

V:\Virtual_Box\vagrant\rac\ol7_183\node2\scripts>dos2unix *

Do it for all files that will run on Linux.

Just sharing the solution

Hello Tim,
I have run this script multiple time. I single instances or dataguard are deployed without any issues. However, I have not been able to create RAC on 12 or 18c. These error below are just driving me crazy.

The dns and node2 work perfectly, but when I start node1, I get the error that the disk is not unique even after I destroy and redeploy the script. I think the rest of the error are just chain reaction of the first failure. Please advice.

Very much grateful for your wonderful work @oraclebase .

I have almost completed the setup using your detailed steps. But struck with one issue.

It says that the "gridSetup.sh" file is not present under the folder path "u01/app/21.0.0/grid".

I even verified the same to find no files under the mentioned folder.

DNS up un running
Node2 un un running
Node1 grid configuration fails with:

Hi, I have a lot of issues with dnsmasq. Here is the sequence.

1. dns, vagrant up, ok
2. node2, vagrant up, ok
3. ssh to node2,
   [vagrant@ol8-21-rac2 ~]$ nslookup ol8-21-scan
   ;; connection timed out; no servers could be reached
   but dns is up, service is running.
4. reboot dns.
5. ssh to node2, nslookup will work.
6. reboot node2
7. ssh to node2, nslookup fail again.

i cannot figure out what caused this. because of dns issue, when i do node1, it will fail, because it cannot resolve the scan address. anybody else have the same issue? I tried ol7_21 and ol8_21. same issue.

Hi Tim,

I was following the steps from your site and I ran into an error very similar to the one in #15 . The only changes I made were amending the file paths and slightly reducing the memory allocated to each node.
I'm not sure if related, but I was also experiencing the "Windows Host Build Failure" issue that is in the README and I got past it using the suggested fix (to restart the DNS node).
If you have any suggestions, that would be great. Thank you very much!
