Oracle Database 12c: Managing Parameters in Container Database

Oracle Database 12c: Managing Parameters in Container database

Last week I attended the 'Oracle Database 12c New features course' at Oracle University and found that Oracle database 12c new features are really good. Especially the new concept of Container database and Pluggable Databases, restore of tables from RMAN backup, and many such facinating features.

Here I write my first simple article about managing parameters in the contrainer database.

In a container architecture, the parameters for Pluggable Database (PDB) will inherit from the root database. That means if statistics_level=all in the root that will cascade to the PDB databases.

You can over ride this by using Alter system set, if that parameter is pdb modifiable, there is a new column in v$system_parameter for the same.

The inheritance property for some parameters must be true.

For other parameters, you can change the inheritance property by running the ALTER SYSTEM SET statement to set the parameter when the current container is the PDB.

If ISPDB_MODIFIABLE is TRUE for an initialization parameter in the V$SYSTEM_PARAMETER view, then the inheritance property can be false for the parameter.


SQL> select NAME,ISSES_MODIFIABLE,ISSYS_MODIFIABLE,ISINSTANCE_MODIFIABLE from V$SYSTEM_PARAMETER where name='open_cursors';

NAME ISSES ISSYS_MOD ISINS ISPDB
----------------- ----- --------- ----- -------
open_cursors FALSE IMMEDIATE TRUE TRUE

SQL>The above example of open_cursors for ISPDB_MODIFIABLE is true means that this parameter can be inherited for PDB’s from root database

Further the parameters can be changed all together for all databases or for specific container (PDB) by using again a CONTAINER Clause in ALTER SYSTEM

The following changes the open_cursor parameter to 200 in root and all the PDB's

ALTER SYSTEM SET OPEN_CURSORS = 200 CONTAINER = ALL;


If you logged in root, The following changes the open_cursor parameter to 200 in root and all the PDB's as the instance inheritance parameter is true, if you change in root it will applicable to all.

ALTER SYSTEM SET OPEN_CURSORS = 200 CONTAINER = CURRENT;


If you logged in PDB, The following changes the open_cursor parameter to 200 in PDB only.

ALTER SYSTEM SET OPEN_CURSORS = 200 CONTAINER = CURRENT;

Important Note: PDB parameters cannot be changed if you are using PFILE, You must use SPFILE

Changing OACORE JVMs in R12 without autoconfig

Following are the steps to increase the number of OACORE JVMs in R12 with minimal downtime (< 1min) and to preserve the changes even after autoconfig is run at a later time.

Steps

1. On the node where Apache is running, go to, cd $ORA_CONFIG_HOME/10.1.3/opmn/conf folder
2. Take backup of opmn.xml file and edit the following section,

<process-type id="oacore" module-id="OC4J" status="enabled" working-dir="$ORACLE_HOME/j2ee/home">
<module-data>
<category id="start-parameters">
<data id="java-options" value="-server -verbose:gc -Xmx1024M -Xms512M -XX:MaxPermSize=256M -XX:NewRatio=2 -XX:+PrintGCTimeStamps -XX:+UseTLAB -XX:+UseParallelGC -XX:ParallelGCThreads=2 -Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote -Djava.security.policy=$ORACLE_HOME/j2ee/oacore/config/java2.policy -Djava.awt.headless=true -Dhttp.webdir.enable=false -Doracle.security.jazn.config=/u01/cell/inst/apps/cell_edolapplin1/ora/10.1.3/j2ee/oacore/config/jazn.xml -Dhttp.cookie.ignoreCommaInCookiesNamed=X_NoMatchingCookies"/>
<data id="java-bin" value="/u01/cell/inst/apps/cell_edolapplin1/admin/scripts/java.sh"/>
<data id="oc4j-options" value="-out /u01/cell/inst/apps/cell_edolapplin1/logs/ora/10.1.3/opmn/oacorestd.out -err /u01/cell/inst/apps/cell_edolapplin1/logs/ora/10.1.3/opmn/oacorestd.err"/>
</category>
<category id="stop-parameters">
<data id="java-options" value="-server -verbose:gc -Xmx512M -Xms128M -XX:MaxPermSize=160M -XX:NewRatio=2 -XX:+PrintGCTimeStamps -XX:+UseTLAB -XX:+UseParallelGC -XX:ParallelGCThreads=2 -Djava.security.policy=$ORACLE_HOME/j2ee/oacore/config/java2.policy -Djava.awt.headless=true -Dhttp.webdir.enable=false"/>
</category>
<category id="security-parameters">
<data id="wallet-file" value="file:/u01/cell/inst/apps/cell_edolapplin1/certs/Apache"/>
</category>
</module-data>
<start timeout="600" retry="2"/>
<stop timeout="120"/>
<restart timeout="720" retry="2"/>
<port id="default-web-site" range="21670-21674" protocol="ajp"/>
<port id="rmi" range="20170-20174"/>
<port id="jms" range="23170-23174"/>
<process-set id="default_group" numprocs="5"/>
</process-type>

In the above opmn.xml file block, change the last tag from,

<process-set id="default_group" numprocs="3"/>to <process-set id="default_group" numprocs="5"/>

3. In the context file $INST_TOP/appl/admin/celldb_edolapplin1.xml, change the following block from

<oacore_nprocs oa_var="s_oacore_nprocs">3</oacore_nprocs> to <oacore_nprocs oa_var="s_oacore_nprocs">5</oacore_nprocs>

4. No need to run autoconfig, just reload the opmn with the below command,

# adopmnctl.sh reload

5. Validate that 5 JVMs have been indeed started by adopmnctl.sh status

# adopmnctl.sh status

Risks and pointers:

1. Make sure the port range for rmi and jms is 5. Using 'netstat' check if those ports are in use or not.
2. If the port range is not specifying 5 ports, assign 5 ports as per the port pool value.
3. Make similar change in context file in the below tags,
<port id="rmi" range="20170-20174"/>
<port id="jms" range="23170-23174"/>
4. You have a choice of customizing your template rather than directly changing your xml file as well.

Parallel Concurrent Processing in Oracle Apps R12

Parallel Concurrent Processing in Oracle Apps R12

In oracle apps, by default, concurrent managers are installed on one of the nodes. However, Oracle provides functionality called parallel concurrent processing -PCP where in, we can install concurrent mangers on multiple nodes.  The advantage of PCP is that it provides fail over capability-if one of the nodes having Cm goes down, then CM will run on other nodes. Also, since we can distribute Cm over multiple nodes, so it will take advantage of resources-Ram/CPU of that node and hence processing will be faster.

Steps for Implementing PCP
•Make sure that the new node is added to the system. We will call the node already having   CM  as primary node and the new node as secondary node.
•Change the parameter APPLDCP to ON in context file of both nodes. For viewing reports log/output make sure that $APPLSCF should point to same directory on both nodes. We can use NFS for this.
•ON the secondary node, change the parameter “s_ isConc” to yes and also”s_ isConcDev” to yes
•Now, shutdown the services and run autoconfig on primary node, then on secondary node and finally on web tier.
•Ensure that tnsnames.ora on both CM nodes have correct entries.
•Now define primary and secondary node for ICM. Goto Concurrent >Manager>Define >Internal manager. There should be 2 ICM-one  for each node(say node A and  node B). For ICM for node A-define A as primary node and B as secondary node. For ICM for Node B-define B as primary node and A as secondary node.
•Similarly for Internal Monitor process define primary and secondary nodes. Goto  Concurrent > Manager > Define. Search “Internal Monitor%”.  There should be 2 Internal Monitor -one for each node(say A and B). For Internal Monitor for node A-define A as primary node and B as secondary node. For Internal Monitor for Node B-define B as primary node and A as secondary node. Also define standard workshift for both Internal Monitors. Activate them.
•Now define primary and secondary for other concurrent managers the way you want to distribute them.
•Start the services on all nodes. The cm has to be started on primary node only and not on secondary node.

Cloning EBS r12 Applications & DB 11gR2

The following are the steps I did while preparing a clone of Oracle E-Business Suite Release 12.1.3 application with Database 11.2.0.3 on Linux 5.7 OS.

STEP 1: Preparing the target server on which clone has to be created.

Following is the target server configuration,
OS= Oracle Enterprise Linux 5.7 Server
ServerName= ed-olsrvlin1

On this target server database software 11.2.0.3 is already installed. If the software is not installed then you can follow below article of mine to clone the database home itself by copying the database home from production server.

http://samiora.blogspot.ae/2012/10/cloning-oracle-database-home.html

Now source the environment,

[oracle@ed-olsrvlin1 ~]$ vi .bash_profile

# .bash_profile
# Get the aliases and functions
if [ -f ~/.bashrc ]; then
        . ~/.bashrc
fi
# User specific environment and startup programs
PATH=$PATH:$HOME/bin:/u03/research/product/11.2.0/dbhome_1/bin
export PATH

[oracle@ed-olsrvlin1 ~]$ .  /u03/research/product/11.2.0/dbhome_1/research_ebsdlxsrv1.env

export ORACLE_SID=research;
export ORACLE_HOME=/u03/research/product/11.2.0/dbhome_1;

[oracle@ed-olsrvlin1 ~]$ . .bash_profile

[oracle@ed-olsrvlin1 ~]. /u01/research/product/11.2.0/dbhome_1/research_ed-olsrvlin1.env

export ORACLE_SID=research

STEP 2: Create initRESEARCH.ora file and add the below parameters,

STEP 3: Create password file,

[oracle@ed-olsrvlin1 dbs]$ orapwd file=pwdresearch.ora password=oracle entries=5

STEP 4: Add the below entry,

[oracle@ed-olsrvlin1 dbs]$ vi /etc/oratab
research:/u01/research/product/11.2.0/dbhome_1:N

STEP 5: Start preparing the database,

[oracle@ed-olsrvlin1 u01]$ echo $ORACLE_HOME
/u01/research/product/11.2.0/dbhome_1
[oracle@ed-olsrvlin1 u01]$ echo $ORACLE_SID

STEP 6: Copy few archive files that are required from production. If you want to skip this step then you can initially take the backup of archive log along with the database backup.

asmcmd>

cp thread_1_seq_6159.7633.820505169 '/tmp/xxaarcs/thread_1_seq_6159.7633.820505169'
cp thread_1_seq_6160.7635.820505485 '/tmp/xxaarcs/thread_1_seq_6160.7635.820505485'
cp thread_1_seq_6161.7636.820505729 '/tmp/xxaarcs/thread_1_seq_6161.7636.820505729'
cp thread_2_seq_6234.7514.820528047 '/tmp/xxaarcs/thread_2_seq_6234.7514.820528047'

Now copy archives to the destination server where we are cloning and where the archive files are missing while doing the recovery,

[root@proddbsrv1 tmp]# scp * oracle@ed-olsrvlin1:/u01/research/archives/

STEP 7: Now on the target server, start the recovery,
RMAN> CATALOG START WITH '/u01/research/archives';
RMAN> RECOVER DATABASE;

RMAN-00571: ===========================================================
RMAN-03002: failure of recover command at 07/11/2013 20:57:50
RMAN-06054: media recovery requesting unknown archived log for thread 1 with sequence 6252 and starting SCN of 8212809557297

STEP 8: Once RMAN restore/recovery finishes, you will want to rename the online redolog files before opening the database in case the production path of redo log files is not available on the new host.
After renaming the redolog files, the database can be opened with RESETLOGS

SQL>  select member from v$logfile;

SQL> create temporary tablespace TEMP1 tempfile '/u01/research/oradata/temp01.dbf' size 4096m;

SQL> alter database default temporary tablespace TEMP1;

SQL> ALTER TABLESPACE TEMP1 ADD TEMPFILE '/u01/research/oradata/temp02.dbf' size 4096m;

SQL> ALTER TABLESPACE TEMP1 ADD TEMPFILE '/u01/research/oradata/temp03.dbf' size 4096m;

SQL> drop tablespace temp including contents and datafiles;

STEP 10: So till here the database is configured successfully. You can once shutdown and startup the
database. Now clear the production node entries from this new cloned database. So connect as APPS database user and execute,

conn apps/appspassword
select node_name from fnd_nodes;
select host_name from v$instance;
execute fnd_conc_clone.setup_clean;
commit;

@/tmp/cmclean.sql
commit;

STEP 11: Disable database archiving.

conn / as sysdba
shutdown immediate;
startup mount;
alter database noarchivelog;
alter database open;
archive log list;

STEP 12: Now fix the LISTENER.ORA, TNSNAMES.ORA files in /u01/research/product/11.2.0/dbhome_1/network/admin/research_ed-olsrvlin1 directory.

export TNS_ADMIN=/u01/research/product/11.2.0/dbhome_1/network/admin/research_ed-olsrvlin1

Then bounce the listener.

lsnrctl stop research
lsnrctl start research

[oracle@ed-olsrvlin1 admin]$ cd /u01/research/product/11.2.0/dbhome_1/appsutil/bin/

STEP 13: Now create the database context file,

[oracle@ed-olsrvlin1 bin]$ which perl
/usr/bin/perl
[oracle@ed-olsrvlin1 bin]$ perl adbldxml.pl

Starting context file generation for db tier..
Using JVM from /u01/research/product/11.2.0/dbhome_1/jdk/jre/bin/java to execute java programs..
APPS Password: appspassword
The log file for this adbldxml session is located at:
/u01/research/product/11.2.0/dbhome_1/appsutil/log/adbldxml_07032128.log
AC-20010: Error: File - listener.ora could not be found at the location:

Enter Hostname of Database server: ed-olsrvlin1
Enter Port of Database server: 1526
Enter SID of Database server: research
Enter the value for Display Variable: 1
The context file has been created at:
/u01/research/product/11.2.0/dbhome_1/appsutil/research_ed-olsrvlin1.xml

STEP 14: Now run AUTOCONFIG on database server.

[oracle@ed-olsrvlin1 bin]$ ./adconfig.sh

Enter the full path to the Context file: /u01/research/product/11.2.0/dbhome_1/appsutil/research_ed-olsrvlin1.xml

STEP 15: Once all above steps are executed successfully, then start cloning the application tier,
On APPLICATION TIER Server ed-olsrvlin1
COPY ALL THE APPLICATION FILES FROM PRODUCTION TO ed-olsrvlin1 SERVER.
FROM PRODUCTION APPLICATION SERVER RUN THE BELOW COPY COMMAND

[root@prodappsrv1 research] pwd
/u01/research

[root@prodappsrv1 research] scp -r * applmgr@ed-olsrvlin1:/u02/research/

STEP 16: Once the application files are copied then with 'root' user, change the ownership of all the folders,

[root@ed-olsrvlin1 u02]# chown -R applmgr:dba research/

[applmgr@ed-olsrvlin1 bin]

Limitation of 11g ASMCMD cp command

The below script can be used to automate and overcome the limitation of 11g ASMCMD cp command.

Limitation
The new cp (copy) command introduced in 11g asmcmd tool has limitation that it cannot copy a directory nor multiple files at a time using the cp command from asmcmd prompt.

Solution
I have written the below shell script that can be scheduled to copy multiple files for example from the FRA's autobackup directory from ASM to local disk using the asmcmd utility.

You can schedule the below script in crontab as grid user.

#multiplefilecopyfromasmtodisk.sh
#!/bin/bash

#
# This script copies files from FRA on ASM to local disk
#
PATH=/u01/oragrid/11.2.0.2/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:$PATH; export PATH
ORACLE_SID=+ASM1; export ORACLE_SID
ORACLE_HOME=/u01/oragrid/11.2.0.3; export ORACLE_HOME
ASMLS=/u01/autobackupControlFile/asm_ls.txt; export ASMLS
FRA=+FRA1/ORCL/AUTOBACKUP/`date +%Y_%m_%d`; export FRA
LOCALBACKUPDIR=/u01/autobackupControlFile; export LOCALBACKUPDIR
LOG=/u01/autobackupControlFile/filecopyfromasm.log; export LOG
#
# Get the list of files
#
cd /u01/oragrid/11.2.0.2/bin/
./asmcmd > $ASMLS <
ls $FRA
exit
EOF
#
# Clean the list by removing "ASMCDM>"
#
sed -i 's/ASMCMD> //g' $ASMLS
cat $ASMLS
echo `date` > $LOG
#
# Copy files one by one
#
for FILENAME in `cat $ASMLS`
do
./asmcmd >> $LOG <
cp $FRA/$FILENAME $LOCALBACKUPDIR
EOF
done
cat $LOG

Reference
I recently attended 'Advanced Shell Scripting' course in Hyderabad that helped me to write the above script. I hope you find it useful.

Oracle 11g Active Database Duplication

Oracle 11g introduced new feature called 'Active Database Duplication' using which we can create a duplicate database of the target database without any backups.

Duplication is performed over the network.

Overview:

On the source Server:

- Create Pfile from source database
- Create an entry in tnsnames.ora for duplictae database on target host on port 1522

On the target Server:

- Add a line in the file /etc/oratab to reflect the database instance you are going to copy
- create folders
- Copy the initialization parameter file from the source database add edit it.
- Copy the password file
- Create a listener in database home on port 1522 and register duplicate database statically with it
- Startup the target database in nomount mode using modified parameter file
- Using RMAN connect to the source database(orcl) as target database and duplicate database (orclt) as auxiliary instance
- duplicate the target database

********************************
Source database: orcl
Duplicate database: orclt
***********************************

Implementation

– On source host
– CREATE PFILE FROM SOURCE DATABASE

SQL> CREATE PFILE=’/u01/app/oracle/oradata/orcl/initsource.ora’ FROM SPFILE;

– On source database, create a service for orclt on target host on port 1522

The rest of the steps occur on the target host.

– Add a line in the file /etc/oratab to reflect the database instance you are going to copy

orclt:/u01/app/oracle/product/11.2.0/db1:N

– Now set the Oracle SID as the duplicated database SID:

– create folders

mkdir -p /u01/app/oracle/oradata/orclt
mkdir -p /u01/app/oracle/flash_recovery_area/orclt
mkdir -p /u01/app/oracle/admin/orclt/adump
mkdir -p /u01/app/oracle/admin/orclt/dpdump

– Copy the initialization parameter file from the main database.

$cp /u01/app/oracle/oradata/orcl/initsource.ora /u01/app/oracle/oradata/orclt/inittarget.ora

– Edit the initialization parameter file

$vi /u01/app/oracle/oradata/orclt/inittarget.ora

– Change db_name = orclt

– Edit it to reflect the new locations that might be appropriate such as control file locations,audit dump destinations, datafile locations, etc.

– add these lines –

db_file_name_convert = (“/u01/app/oracle/oradata/orcl”,“/u01/app/oracle/oradata/orclt”)
log_file_name_convert = (“/u01/app/oracle/oradata/orcl”,"/u01/app/oracle/oradata/orclt”)

In case source and destination databases ae ASM, following lines can be added :

db_file_name_convert = (“+DATA/orcl”,”+DATA/orclt”)
log_file_name_convert = (“+DATA/orcl”,”+DATA/orclt”, “+FRA/orcl”,”+FRA/orclt”)

– Copy the password file as well

$cp /u01/app/oracle/product/11.2.0/db_1/dbs/orapworcl /u01/app/oracle/product/11.2.0/db_1/dbs/orapworclt

– Startup the target database in nomount mode using modified parameter file

$ . oraenv

ORACLE_SID = [orclt]

$sqlplus sys/oracle as sysdba

SQL> startup nomount pfile=’/u01/app/oracle/oradata/orclt/inittarget.ora’;

create spfile from pfile=’/u01/app/oracle/oradata/orclt/inittarget.ora’;

– create a listener on port 1522 in database home on target host and statically register service orclt with it.
– connect to the auxiliary instance

$. oraenv

orclt

$rman target sys/oracle@orcl auxiliary sys/oracle@orclt

– duplicate the database orcl to orclt from active database
– the command performs the following steps:

* Creates an SPFILE
* Shuts down the instance and restarts it with the new spfile
* Restores the controlfile from the backup
* Mounts the database
* Performs restore of the datafiles. In this stage it creates the files in the converted names.
* Recovers the datafiles up to the time specified and opens the database

RMAN> duplicate target database to orclt from active database;

– check that duplicate database is up

$sqlplus / as sysdba

sql> conn hr/hr

select * from tab;

SQL> select dbid from v$database;

Convert Single Instance to RAC using RCONFIG

The following oracle supported methods are available to convert a single-instance database to a RAC database as long as the RAC and the standalone environments are running on the same OS and using the same oracle release:

1. RCONFIG
2. DBCA
3. Oracle Enterprise Manager (grid control)
4. Manual method

Here we will see how to convert single intance database to RAC using RCONFIG.

During the conversion, rconfig performs the following steps automatically:
• Migrating the database to ASM, if specified
• Creating RAC database instances on all specified nodes in the cluster
• Configuring the Listener and NetService entries
• Registering services with CRS
• Starting up the instances and listener on all nodes

In Oracle 11g R2, a single-instance database can either be converted to an administrator-managed cluster database or a policy-managed cluster database.

The difference between administrator managed and policy managed cluster database is given below in green,

Server pools are logical divisions of a cluster into pools of servers, which are allocated to host databases or other applications. Server pools are managed using crsctl and srvctl commands.
Caution:

By default, any named user may create a server pool. To restrict the operating system users that have this privilege, Oracle strongly recommends that you add specific users to the CRS Administrators list.
Each server pool name must be unique within the cluster. Two server pools cannot use the same name.
There are two types of server pool management:

Administrator-managed: Database administrators define the servers on which databases resource run, and place resources manually as needed. This is the management strategy used in previous releases.

Policy managed: Database administrators specify in which server pool (excluding generic or free) the database resource will run. Oracle Clusterware is responsible for placing the database resource on a server.
The server pool name is a required attribute. You can also provide values for the following attributes; if you do not specify them, then they are set to the default value:
MIN_SIZE: Minimum number of servers on which you want a resource to run. The default is 0.
MAX_SIZE: Maximum number of servers on which you want a resource to run. The default is -1, which indicates that resources can run on all available nodes in the cluster.
IMPORTANCE: The relative importance of the resource pool, used to determine how to reconfigure servers when a node joins or leaves the cluster. The default is 0.

Note: Clients using Oracle Database 11g release 2 and later databases using policy-managed server pools must access the database using the Single Client Access Name (SCAN). This is required because policy-managed databases can run on different servers at different times, so connecting to a particular node virtual IP address for a policy-managed database is not possible.

When you navigate through the $ORACLE_HOME/assistants/rconfig/sampleXMLS, you will find two sample XML input files.

- ConvertToRAC_AdminManaged.xml
- ConvertToRAC_PolicyManaged.xml

While converting a single-instance database, with filesystem storage, to an RAC database with Automatic Storage Management (ASM), rconfig invokes RMAN internally to back up the database to proceed with converting non-ASM to ASM.

CURRENT SCENARIO:-

2 node RAC setup
- Names of nodes : egtodb01, egtodb02

- Name of single instance database with filesystem storage : ebsuat

- Source Oracle home : /u01/app/oracle/product/11.2.0/dbhome_1

- Target Oracle home : /u01/app/oracle/product/11.2.0/dbhome_1

OBJECTIVE
- convert ebsuat to a Admin managed RAC database running on two nodes egtodb01 and egtodb02.

- change storage to ASM with
   . Datafiles on +DATA diskgroup
   . Flash recovery area on +FRA diskgroup

IMPLEMENTATION:– copy ConvertToRAC_AdminManaged.xml to another file my.xml

egtodb01$ cd $ORACLE_HOME/assistants/rconfig/sampleXMLs
egtodb01$ cp ConvertToRAC_AdminManaged.xml my.xml

– Edit my.xml and make following changes :
   . Specify current OracleHome of non-rac database for SourceDBHome
   . Specify OracleHome where the rac database should be configured. It can be same as SourceDBHome
   . Specify SID of non-rac database and credential. User with sysdba role is required to perform conversion
   . Specify the list of nodes that should have rac instances running for the Admin Managed Cluster Database
   . LocalNode should be the first node in this nodelist.
   . Instance Prefix tag is optional starting with 11.2. If left empty, it is derived from db_unique_name
   . Specify the type of storage to be used by rac database. Allowable values are CFS|ASM
   . Specify Database Area Location to be configured for rac database.
   . Specify Flash Recovery Area to be configured for rac database.

– Run rconfig to convert ebsuat from single instance database to 2 instance RAC database

egtodb01$ rconfig my.xml

– Check the log file for rconfig while conversion is going on
oracle@egtodb01$ ls -lrt  $ORACLE_BASE/cfgtoollogs/rconfig/*.log

– check that the database has been converted successfully

egtodb01$srvctl status database -d ebsuat
Instance ebsuat1 is running on node egtodb01
Instance ebsuat2 is running on node egtodb02

– Note that rconfig adds password file to all the nodes but  entry to tnsnames.ora needs to be modified (to reflect scan name instead of host-ip) on the local node and added to rest of the nodes.

– For all other nodes, copy the entry for the database ebsuat from tnsnames.ora on local node to tnsnames.ora on remote nodes.

– Following is the entry I modified on the local node and copied to rest of the nodes :
ebsuat =
  (DESCRIPTION =
    (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = ebsdb-scan.mydomain.com)(PORT = 1521))
    (CONNECT_DATA =
      (SERVER = DEDICATED)
      (SERVICE_NAME = ebsuat)
    )
  )

– check that database can be connected remotely from remote node.
egtodb02$sqlplus system/manager@ebsuat

– check that datafiles have converted to ASM

SQL>select name from v$datafile;

NAME
——————————————————————————–
+DATA/ebsuat/datafile/system.326.79483827
+DATA/ebsuat/datafile/sysaux.325.79483834

Allow non-root user to run commands as root

This is a simple but useful security setting on Linux operating System.
To allow user to run some commands which need root/sudo permission we need to add them in /etc/sudoers file.

Lets see an example to give permission to start/stop/restart CUPS (Common Unix Printing System) service.

Open /etc/sudoers file with sudo/root permission using any text editor (Eg: vim) and following line at end of the file. But it is higly recommended to edit the sudoers file using the visudo command, which is a special vim utility for editing sudoer file.

testuser1 ALL=/etc/init.d/cups restart,/etc/init.d/cups stop,/etc/init.d/cups start

In above line 'testuser1' is the user name for which we are giving permission tor start/stop/restart cups service.
Now save and exit from /etc/sudoers file.

To test above command login into testuser1, and run any of the following command, it will ask for sudo password. We need to enter testuser1's password for as sudo password that will run the command.

$ sudo /etc/init.d/cups restart
$ sudo /etc/init.d/cups stop
$ sudo /etc/init.d/cups start

Similarly you can add other command as per your requirement.
For more syntaxes and references of sudoer file please visit the below links,
