Serviceguard Extension for RAC Version A.11.20 Release Notes - (August 2011)

Port Requirements

Oracle 11gR2 RAC requires HP-UX kernel TCP/IP ephemeral port range to be set in the range

9000- 65500.

Use NDD to ensure that the HP-UX kernel TCP/IP ephemeral port range parameters are set to 9000-

65500 on each node.

Example:

You can use the following command to check the existing TCP/IP port range.

/usr/bin/ndd /dev/tcp tcp_smallest_anon_port tcp_largest_anon_port

/usr/bin/ndd /dev/udp udp_smallest_anon_port udp_largest_anon_port

Then, if required edit the file /etc/rc.config.d/nddconf and add entries to update the UDP

and TCP ephemeral port range to 9000- 65500.

TRANSPORT_NAME[0]=tcp

NDD_NAME[0]=tcp_largest_anon_port

NDD_VALUE[0]=65500

TRANSPORT_NAME[1]=tcp

NDD_NAME[1]=tcp_smallest_anon_port

NDD_VALUE[1]=9000

TRANSPORT_NAME[2]=udp

NDD_NAME[2]=udp_largest_anon_port

NDD_VALUE[2]=65500

TRANSPORT_NAME[3]=udp

NDD_NAME[3]=udp_smallest_anon_port

NDD_VALUE[3]=9000

Ensure that the entries are numbered in proper order. For example, if there are three entries already

present for TCP or UDP ports in nddconf, then they are numbered 0 through 3:

TRANSPORT_NAME[0]=tcp, TRANSPORT_NAME[1]=tcp, and TRANSPORT_NAME[2]=tcp. The entries you add are then

TRANSPORT_NAME[3]=tcp and TRANSPORT_NAME[4]=tcp.

TRANSPORT_NAME[5]=udp and TRANSPORT_NAME[6]=udp.

Then use the following command to enables the nddconf file containing the parameters to be

loaded into the IP kernel stack: ndd -c
