Extend LVM Disk Linux

Posted on by Osama Mustafa in Operating system
This Article Will Describe step by step how to extend LVM Disk On Linux :-

1- After adding New Harddisk to the server you have to ReScan The Scsi using 

echo “- – -” > /sys/class/scsi_host/host?/scan

? :- Depend on you host number. 

2-  Use Fdisk to create new partition.

>fdisk -l
Disk /dev/sda: 107.3 GB, 107374182400 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 13054 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes
   Device Boot      Start         End      Blocks   Id  System
/dev/sda1   *           1          13      104391   83  Linux
/dev/sda2              14       13054   104751832+  8e  Linux LVM
Disk /dev/sdb: 10.7 GB, 10737418240 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 1305 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes
Disk /dev/sdb doesn’t contain a valid partition table

 Check the below :-

#fdisk /dev/sdb
Device contains neither a valid DOS partition table, nor Sun, SGI or OSF disklab el
Building a new DOS disklabel. Changes will remain in memory only,
until you decide to write them. After that, of course, the previous
content won’t be recoverable.

The number of cylinders for this disk is set to 1305.
There is nothing wrong with that, but this is larger than 1024,
and could in certain setups cause problems with:
1) software that runs at boot time (e.g., old versions of LILO)
2) booting and partitioning software from other OSs
(e.g., DOS FDISK, OS/2 FDISK)
Warning: invalid flag 0x0000 of partition table 4 will be corrected by w(rite)

Command (m for help): n
Command action
e extended
p primary partition (1-4)
p
Partition number (1-4): 1
First cylinder (1-1305, default 1):
Using default value 1
Last cylinder or +size or +sizeM or +sizeK (1-1305, default 1305):
Using default value 1305

Command (m for help): w
The partition table has been altered!

Calling ioctl() to re-read partition table.

WARNING: Re-reading the partition table failed with error 16: Device or resource busy.
The kernel still uses the old table.
The new table will be used at the next reboot.
Syncing disks.

3-  Lets start increasing :-

pvcreate /dev/sdb1
Writing physical volume data to disk “/dev/sdb1”
Physical volume “/dev/sdb1” successfully created

vgextend Oracle /dev/sdb1  Volume group “Oracle” successfully extended

 pvscan

Now Let’s Extend :-

lvextend /dev/Oracle/LogVol00 /dev/sdb1 Extending logical volume LogVol00 to 19.72 GB
Logical volume LogVol00 successfully resized

 Finally :-

resize2fs /dev/Oracle/LogVol00resize2fs 1.39 (29-May-2006)
Filesystem at /dev/Oracle/LogVol00 is mounted on /; on-line resizing required
Performing an on-line resize of /dev/Oracle/LogVol00 to 5169152 (4k) blocks.

Notes :

  1. The Red Color for Command Line.
  2. The Brown Color For necessary Output. 
  3. /dev/Oracle/LogVol00 it’s the name for LVM Disk.
  4. /dev/sdb1 disk that we created using fdisk.

Managed Server ERROR: transport error 202: bind failed: Address already in use

Posted on by Osama Mustafa in Fusion Middleware

ERROR: transport error 202: bind failed: Address already in use
ERROR: JDWP Transport dt_socket failed to initialize, TRANSPORT_INIT(510)
JDWP exit error AGENT_ERROR_TRANSPORT_INIT(197): No transports initialized [../../../src/share/back/debugInit.c:750]

This Error Appeared when trying to start Managed server the Log Shown the above error, which already clear, in my case i have 2 managed server SOA and OSB in the same AdminServer each of them trying to access on the same PID process using Node Manager to solve this issue please follow the below steps.
Solutions :-
  • Inside Domain Path for example /u01/app/fmw/domains/Base_domain/bin
  • Edit setDomainEnv.sh and search for the below :-

if [ “${DEBUG_PORT}” = “” ] ; then
        DEBUG_PORT=”8453″
        export DEBUG_PORT
fi

if [ “${SERVER_NAME}” = “” ] ; then
        SERVER_NAME=”AdminServer”
        export SERVER_NAME
fi

  •  Add New Lines under the above to contain server name and available DEBUG_PORT on the server like the below:-

if [ “${SERVER_NAME}” = “soa_server1” ] ; then
   DEBUG_PORT=”7453″
   export DEBUG_PORT
fi

if [ “${SERVER_NAME}” = “osb_server1” ] ; then
   DEBUG_PORT=”7454″
   export DEBUG_PORT
fi

 Now Restart AdminServer and Try to start Managed Server, Take Backup from setDomainEvn.sh before editing.

Unable to Determine Console Port when Trying to Run emctl start iasconsole

Posted on by Osama Mustafa in Fusion Middleware
The Situation for me like this, Database version 11.2.0.3, Real Application Cluster two nodes, Enterprise manager working and configured without any problem,

emctl start dbcsonole 

Working without any errors, metrics collected, but when trying to run

emctl start iasconsole

Or

emctl istart iasconsole  

The Error ” Unable to determine console port, default-web-site.xml : no such file or directory”

The File is exists, and configured to run oc4j on port 8888, http://hostname:888/em not working with error “iasconsole service should be stopped”. Weird !!!!!

 Operating system Oracle Linux 64bit, After investigation i discovered that binary/files for oc4j in ORACLE_HOME was corrupted and not working correctly however this is what i did to fix this error :-

First Download OC4J_extend.zip from here, this zip file contain same directory files ( xml,config ) in oc4j ($ORACLE_HOME/oc4j) so extract this file inside this path, if oc4j not exist create one and extract the zip file into this directory.

But this is will not make oc4j works, complete the below steps to make sure everything is working fine.

[oracle@PROD bin]$ ./java -jar /u01/app/oraclenew/product/11.2.0/dbhome_1/oc4j/j2ee/home/oc4j.jar

Apr 3, 2014 2:51:51 PM com.evermind.server.XMLApplicationServerConfig randomizeJtaAdminPassword
INFO: Updating JtaAdmin account

14/04/03 14:52:30 Set OC4J administrator’s password (password text will not be displayed as it is entered)
Enter password:            
Confirm password:          
The password for OC4J administrator “oc4jadmin” has been set.
14/04/03 14:52:35 The OC4J administrator “oc4jadmin” account is activated.
14/04/03 14:52:39 Oracle Containers for J2EE 10g (10.1.3.3.0)  initialized

Now Test the Link –> Http://localhost:8888/em and it’s working
