ORACLE GRID 11gr2 (RAC) on HPVM Guests

Hi all,
I installed ORACLE GRID 11gr2 (RAC) on 2 HPVM guests v4.2.
The VMs reside on 2 different HPVM Hosts on 2 c7000.

When I try to start the instance, it takes about 15 minutes to start up.

Using the command :#netstat -s -p ip, I get too many "fragments dropped after timeout".

Have you ever installed ORACLE GRID 11gr2 (RAC) on HPVM Guests ?
Have you any ideas to solve this problem?

Thanks a lot,
Raffaele

Ummm you do know that RAC isn't officially supported in a HPVM don't you?

It should however "work" - Where are you seeing the "fragments dropped after timeout"? on the guest or on the host?

Hi,
I know that RAC isn't supported, but I think it should work.

I see the fragment dropped on the VM.

Thanks a lot,

Re: ORACLE GRID 11gr2 (RAC) on HPVM Guests

So do you see anything on the VM host?

On the VM Host the fragments dropped after timeout are 0.

Thanks a lot,

What AVIO driver version do you have in the host and guest? Are you on the latest and greatest?

OK, so have you reviewed all the known networking issues in section 7.2 of the HPVM4.2 release notes:

Hi,
I upgraded the VM from 4.2 to 4.3, but I didn't solve the problem.

Thanks again,
