Hi DBAs,

Have a confusion in the output of v$configured_interconnects in Oracle 11g Release 2

I am having a 2 node oracle rac configured and using the SCAN feature with 3 SCAN VIPs.

SCAN VIP 1 is configured in Node 1 and SCAN VIP 2 & 3 are in Node 2.

From Instance # 1 the output of the query "Select Name, IP_Address from V$configured_interconnects" looks like this.

Name IP_Address
========== ============
Private 192.168.21.1
Public 100.101.21.21 (Physical IP)
Public 100.101.21.56 (VIP Node 1)
Public 100.101.21.58 (SCAN IP 1)


and
From Instance # 2 the output of the query "Select Name, IP_Address from V$configured_interconnects" looks like this.

Name IP_Address
========== ============
Private 192.168.21.2
Public 100.101.21.22 (Physical IP)
Public 100.101.21.56 (VIP Node 1)
Public 100.101.21.57 (VIP Node 2)
Public 100.101.21.58 (SCAN IP 1)
Public 100.101.21.59 (SCAN IP 2)


Please let me know is there any issues in the output of the query in the 2 instances.

My assumptions
1. VIP of Node 1 is present in both the outputs.If this is the default nature VIP of Node 2 also should present in both the outputs.
2. SCAN IP 3 (100.101.21.60) is missing in the output from Instance 2.

Thanks,
Salih KM

Did you really run the query you give, and get those results? I get nothing like that:

Hi John,

For getting clarity i added the details about the ips in brackets.

The OS is Windows 2008.

Query :
Select Name, IP_Address from V$configured_interconnects



Node 1 Output
Name         IP_Address 
----------  -------------
Private      192.168.21.1 
Public       100.101.21.21 
Public       100.101.21.56 
Public       100.101.21.58 




Node 2 Output

Name         IP_Address 
----------  -------------
Private     192.168.21.2 
Public      100.101.21.22 
Public      100.101.21.56  
Public      100.101.21.57 
Public      100.101.21.58 
Public      100.101.21.59 


As you are running the query on ASM instance you will not get the above output.

Please check the query on a Database Instance.

It doesn't make any difference whether you query the view in a DB instance or an ASM instance. Here's the result from a DB instance:
SQL> select * from gv$configured_interconnects;       

   INST_ID NAME            IP_ADDRESS       IS_ SOURCE
---------- --------------- ---------------- --- -------------------------------

         1 eth0            192.0.2.101      YES Oracle Cluster Repository
         2 eth1            192.168.1.102    NO  Oracle Cluster Repository
         2 eth0            192.0.2.102      YES Oracle Cluster Repository

SQL> 
I don't know what you are doing. Can you show the actual query, not just what you say is the result? And show all the columns.

John,

Actual Query and output
SQL>Select * from gv$configured_interconnects; 

   INST_ID NAME                                IP_ADDRESS       IS_ SOURCE

         1 Public                              100.101.21.58     YES 


There is one more SCAN VIP (100.101.21.60) configured which is not showing in the output.
Also VIP (100.101.21.56) configured in Node 1 is showing in both the instances, but the VIP (100.101.21.57) configured in Node 2 is showing only in the output of Instance 2.

The database is not yet live. Recently noticed that while connecting using the tnsnames entry with SCAN option, sometimes connections are going only to one instance.

Please know your opinion on this.


When i queried the gv$configured_interconnects in ASM instance, it gives a different output.

8 rows selected.

The main reason for starting this topic is to know whether the output of the gv$configured_interconnects are normal or is there any information missing from the normal output.

I don't know why you are getting that result. Is it possible that you made a mistake at install time? Nominating the wrong network cards, or perhaps an error with NIC bonding, or in your DNS config?
I used GPnP, with DHCP and GNS, no bonding. I suspect that you are using addresses statically registered in a DNS. Is that correct?
What do various utilities tell you, oifcg and olsnodes and nslookup:
[grid@host01 ~]$ olsnodes -n -i       
host01  1       192.0.2.254
host02  2       192.0.2.250
host03  3       192.0.2.249
[grid@host01 ~]$ olsnodes -l -p
host01  192.168.1.101
[grid@host01 ~]$ oifcfg iflist -p -n
eth0  192.0.2.0  UNKNOWN  255.255.255.0
eth1  192.168.1.0  PRIVATE  255.255.255.0
[grid@host01 ~]$ 
[grid@host01 ~]$ nslookup sgp01-scan.sgp01.nuffid.com
Server:         192.0.2.1
Address:        192.0.2.1#53

Non-authoritative answer:
Name:   sgp01-scan.sgp01.nuffid.com
Address: 192.0.2.252
Name:   sgp01-scan.sgp01.nuffid.com
Address: 192.0.2.253
Name:   sgp01-scan.sgp01.nuffid.com
Address: 192.0.2.251

And of course the output of
crsctl status resource -t

[update: bad typo above! I said "...with DHCP and DNS...", I've corrected that to "...with DHCP and GNS..." Sorry about that.]

John,

As you mentioned, SCAN IPs are statically registered in DNS.

Well, that all looks perfect. Perhaps that view being incorrectly populated is a Windows thing? Sorry, I've nothing further to suggest.

Thanks John for the confirming that the view is not as per the normal Oracle RAC Configuration.

I may have to contact Oracle Support for further investigation to check about the output of the view.

Update :Marked in Bold.

Thanks & Best Regards
