ASM instance migration from non-asm in windows

hi,
i am looking for migration steps to asm from non-asm in windows platform. oracle version is 10.2.0.2.0 any metalink id's or Docs would be great.
i just had raw disk allocated in my windows but asmtoolg could not find the disk while configuring ?

had better post your question in ASM forum, you will get better guidance/reply there.

  • Moving spfile from non-asm to asm file system

    Hi All
    We are migrating non-asm file system to asm file system, we are held up in moving the spfile from non-asm file system to asm file system ...
    we tried the below method
    Recreate SPFILE on ASM diskgroup
    SQL> create pfile='c:\initTEST.ora' from spfile;
    File created.
    SQL> create spfile='+DGRP2/spfileTEST.ora' from pfile='c:\initTEST.ora';
    File created.
    after this we started both the running instance and asm instance
    but after starting the instance TEST we saw the instance still using spfile of non-asm file system
    what is the correct way of moving the spfile from non-asm to asm file system..
    Regards
    Hariharan.T

    You need to perform this first:
    First rename the $ORACLE_HOME/dbs/spfileTEST.ora to spfileTEST.ora_old
    create initTEST.ora in dbs location with below contents:
    Also i recommend you to recreate the spfile in ASM as it might not be in good shape.
    When ever you start the oracle instance there is a specific order to find the oracle pfile/spfile
    1. O_H/dbs/spfile<SID>.ora
    2. O_H/dbs/init<SID>.ora
    3. O_H/dbs/spfile.ora
    4. O_H/dbs/init.ora
    in your case instance always finds spfileTEST.ora in dbs location (non -ASM) and will stop looking further. If you remove it our of the way it will find initTEST.ora which will redirect to spfile present in ASM.
    NOTE: As per your earlier update you created spfile in ASM after puttin spfile='+DG...' in the initTEST.ora..
    If you start the instance with this SPFILE you will be getting "maxmimum cursors limit exceeded" error.

  • Move datafile from asm datafile database to non asm database

    Hi Nice morning all DBA Guys, I want move datafile from asm database datafile to non asm configurated database. Hoe to move this?
    Datafiles like this
    +DATA/saico/datafile/users.259.631612183

    Regards

    The all files movement of asm to non-asm and vice-versa is given in document id 252219.1 on metalink. Please look at the same. In nut shell you have to do the following:
    1. Start your database with ASM.
    2. Create pfile from spfile.
    3. Edit pfile to reflect controlfile name in file system location.
    4. SQL> Startup nomount.
    5. Use RMAN to copy the control file from ASM to NON-ASM.
    RMAN> RESTORE CONTROLFILE FROM '<filename_of_old_control_file>';
    6. SQL> alter database mount;
    7. Use RMAN to copy the database from ASM to NON-ASM.
    RMAN> BACKUP AS COPY DATABASE format '/u01/oradata/nonasmdb/datafile/%U';
    8. From RMAN
    RMAN> SWITCH DATABASE TO COPY;

  • Migrating from SBS 2011 to Windows Server 2012R2 Standard with 365

    Im looking to move SBS 2011 to Server 2012R2 standard and with a 365 migration as well.
    Im thinking
    BPA for AD (health check)
    Add the Server2012R2 as a DC
    Ensure replication
    Move DHCP
    Change DNS
    Now this is where I get lost, now Im lost to use either dirsync or add essentials service, I have gone for standard and 30 cals with the option  as I have 28 users and the essentials service would make everything quite nice for remote access and backups
    etc....  however I don't know whether to just use dirsync with password replication instead ?
    Currently Im aiming towards getting the dc up and running then enabling essentials on the dc but I dont know how it will effect SBS and having essentials on the same network and sync'ing people to the cloud ? So Should I use DirSync on a different server
    instead to sync up to azure ?
    Finally with 365 I have only ever done a migration involving an export of pst's from an exchange box and then on a new domain with new pc's and reimport the pst's on the user accounts in outlook.
    However I have read when migrating to 365 was using exchange 2010 there was a application
    to move everything across however you needed an ssl cert iirc ? so I dont know how it works now since the nice new dashboard upgrade (assuming the tool has been updated like dirsync)
    along with the above how does AD now know where exahcnge if you use the migration app with an ssl cert and is it a case of still running the 365 config tool to configure each user to look at their mail in the
    cloud ? Also is it a good idea to enable essentials from the start of the 2012r2 dc for replication top 365 or to use dirsync ?
    then finally when replications is all good start transferring the FSMO roles over to the new DC and demote and remove the SBS server
    I have seen (below) but i dont think it covers this scenario and I cant be the only person in this situation =\ ?

    Hi,
    Would you please let us know current situation of this issue? If any update, please feel free to let us know.

    Currently Im aiming towards getting the dc up and running then enabling essentials on the dc but I dont know how it will effect SBS and having essentials on the same network
    and sync'ing people to the cloud?
    I’m a little confused with the description. Did you mean that set up DC (Windows Server 2012 Standard) and
    then install the Windows Server Essentials Experience role? If so, when you migrate, please refer to the article:
    Migrate from Previous Versions to Windows Server 2012 R2 Essentials or Windows Server Essentials Experience
    Regarding to migrate Exchange to Office 365, please refer to following articles.

  • ASM RAC Migration from 10gR1 to 10GR2 32 to 64-bit

    please advise how can i move forward with migration having the following requirement.
    Thanks.
    - 2-node RAC Cluster on windows server 2003 32-bit
    - Version is 10gR1 Standard Edition on both Nodes with ASM at the moment. (asmcmd is not available in 10gR1)
    - Migration is needed to be done to a new hardware setup having new high speed disks, 10g R2 Enterprise Edition with ASM and 64-bit windows server 2003.
    Now i need to migrate to the new hardware with different hardware,windows version,Oracle Version and new disks as well.
    Migration PLan:
    1- install 32-bit enteprise edition 10gR2 on existing system and migrate RAC from 10gR1 Standard Edition to 10gR2 Enterprise Edition first.
    2- how should i de-attach datafiles in ASM so that i can take them to new machine. attach them and run rest of the migration steps. (in a non-asm environment i can just copy the datafiles using network to the new machine)
    3- once the diskgroup/datafile are available on new hardware i can run the scripts to change wordsize.
    please advise how step2 can be done.
    do i need to take care of the 2 rac-nodes or just do all the migration using one node?
    thanks.

    Hi;
    1- Installl Redhat Enterprose Linux 5 64 bit ( need to confirm the 5.x version ) as the current DB 10.2.0.5 will not certified for RHEL6Correct only 11.2.0.3 db version is certified with RHEL6.
    In oracle certification I can see the certified 64 bit RHEL OS for 10.2.0.5 is RHEL5 ("Oracle Database 10.2.0.5.0 is certified on Linux x86-64 Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5"). Please let me know the last supported version in RHEL5 which I can go for. I could not find anything about it. I am thinking, I can go for RHEL 5.5 and in the same OS can I upgrade DB 10.2.0.5 to version 11.2.0.3 after the migration.?The latest version is 5.8 and you can download it from e-delivery.
    PS:Please dont forget to change thread status to answered if it possible when u belive your thread has been answered, it pretend to lose time of other forums user while they are searching open question which is not answered,thanks for understanding

  • ASM installation failure from Oracle GRID under Windows 7 64 bit

    I am a rookie..I am running Oracle database 11gR2 running on a Windows 7 64 bit system.
    I am implementing ASM onto my system solely for learning purposes
    The implementation of ASM has changed between database releases 11gR1 and 11gR2 such that it is no longer configured locally but is now implemented from within Oracle GRID. Unfortunately, the book I am using to study my OCP from was written at the time of 11gR1 so I can no longer follow its instructions to create and configure ASM. Instead of using DBCA I now need to use ASMCA to configure ASM.
    As a preliminary requirement I successfully installed Oracle Grid and configured it to run on my standalone server.
    I created two partitions on my harddrive ...... drive G: and drive H: with intent of using them as my ASM disks. 45 Gig and 50 gig in size respectively formatted with the NTFS filesystem.
    I ran ASMCA in an attempt to create an ASM instance
    I specified these partition drives '\\.\G:' and '\\.\H:' in the disk discovery path which were successfully picked up.
    However when ASMCA executed the creation process after some time it failed with the following message:
    One or more diskgroup(s) creation failed as below:
    DiskGroup mydisks creation failed with the following message:
    ORA-15018: diskgroup cannot be created

    Can t see any evidence of any ASM service on Windows Task manager started/stopped or otherwise. Neither can I see evidence of a CSS service.
    The log file that was generated is large I am not clear on what I should be looking for in order to find clues as to how I might manually resolve this problem and possibly 'salvage' the installation. Any advice would be appreciated.

    Hi,
    read the documentation:
    http://www.oracle.com/pls/db112/to_pdf?pathname=install.112/e24169.pdf
    and you will find multiple errors, you probably did.

  • Migration Of Non-ASM 11g Database To ASM

    Hi Team,
    I have an instance with a standby database and Primary instance has been converted to Non-ASM to ASM(File System).
    Currently i have online redolog files and standby logfiles in my primary instance and i need to recreate log files in ASM.
    Do i need to convert standby instance in to ASM too?
    If not, can I hold my primary log files in ASM path and keep standby server logfiles as it is?
    Please advice.
    Thanks,
    Charith.

    Oracle allows a mix of ASM and non-ASM files at both Primary and Standby site.
    The only issue is that it might confuse the next DBA when you have such a mix unless you document and explain this clearly.

  • Restoring RMAN Backup from ASM RAC env to Non ASM standalone environment

    Hi,
    Can anyone please tell me how to restore database using RMAN in a Non ASM environment as my backup file with ASM RAC environment.
    i was also looking for some documentation which provides clear explanation about RMAN backup and Restore in ASM and Non ASM environment.
    Thanks

    You can set the parameter db_file_name_convert in init.ora in you new database with [ID 47325.1]
    or
    you can set parameter "set newname" in your script rman. [ID 549972.1]
    if you have one or two destinations of dbfiles in ASM I seggest to you set parameter db_file_name_convert in init.
    example:
    db_file_name_convert=('+DGDATA','/u01/oradata/');
    remenber you need set log_file_name_convert to.
    log_file_name_convert=('+DGREDO','/u01/redo/');
    if you use "set newname" commands you need set this lines in your script rman.
    set newname for datafile 1 to '/u01/oradata/system01.dbf';
    set newname for datafile 2 to '/u01/oradata/undotbs01.dbf';
    set newname for datafile 3 to '/u01/oradata/sysaux01.dbf';
    set newname for datafile 4 to '/u01/oradata/users01.dbf';
    and every datafiles you need set!

  • Db migration from Solaris 8i to windows 10g

    There is requirement to move db from solaris8(dbversion8170 to window Server 2003 (10204 already installed)
    DB is about 80gb big, what would be the best approach ?
    I am thinking to create new db on windows, and export and import data.....any concerns/suggestion?
    Source System
    SQL> select * from v$version;
    BANNER
    Oracle8i Enterprise Edition Release 8.1.7.4.0 - 64bit Production
    PL/SQL Release 8.1.7.4.0 - Production
    CORE 8.1.7.0.0 Production
    TNS for Solaris: Version 8.1.7.4.0 - Production
    NLSRTL Version 3.4.1.0.0 - Production
    Target System
    SQL> select * from v$version;
    BANNER
    Oracle Database 10g Release 10.2.0.4.0 - Production
    PL/SQL Release 10.2.0.4.0 - Production
    CORE 10.2.0.4.0 Production
    TNS for 32-bit Windows: Version 10.2.0.4.0 - Production
    NLSRTL Version 10.2.0.4.0 - Production

    what are other options i can try ?I only mention this approach because you asked. I wouldn't recommend it as a general strategy. exp/imp is the most straight-forward.
    We are in the process of migrating from 9.2.0.6 to 11.1.0.7 (11.2 is not an approved standard yet in our enterprise), moving from Solaris to Linux, and consolidating two related instances into one.
    We had to handle some unique situations due to our consolidation, so we did a lot of the steps manually that exp/imp does for you. A side benefit of this extra work is the actual down time is can be less than exp/imp itself, and avoids the need to dump all the data to disk and read it all again. We have about 500GB to migrate. It is a lot more work than a simple exp/imp, and is probably not be worth the effort for a single 80GB instance.
    Our steps (oversimplified, there are more details than this) :
    Set up the new instance and configure storage
    Create users and roles in new DB
    export structure only (using 9i exp)
    import structure only (using 11g imp), without indexes or constraints
    copy data (insert /*+APPEND*/ into.. select * from ... over a database link)
    create indexes and constraints
    Handling LONG data, materialized views, interdependencies between schemas each presented their own special circumstances I had to deal with.
    The other path to get from 8i to 10g (mentioned only for academic reasons) is do a series of upgrades-in-place to get from 8i to 10.2.0.4 then use cross-platform transportable tablespaces to go from Solaris to Windows.

  • SAP R/3 4.7 Migration from HP-UX to Windows

    Hello Everyone,
    I am doing migration of 4.7 system from HP -UX to windows.The export completed successfully but I am stuck during the import phase (Database upload(Post processing) .All the log files in sapinst directory shows the code page error as below.

    Modified at two places in dialog.xml file, the SAP note doesn't mention "1100" in Dialog.xml as it currently shows in my Dailog.xml ,Not sure if I have to remove that too and start the import again from begening.
    While export I had given "1100" as the code page and before starting import I modified the xml by removing the "Type numeric" and later during the import in selection field I couldn't enter the "MDMP" as it is allowing only numeric values.
    Thanks

  • Migration from Photoshop Elements 8 (Windows 7 64 bit) to PE 12 (MAC)

    I am planning to move from a PC Windows 7-based system to a MAC.  As part of this move I will need to migrate Photoshop Elements from PE 8 in Windows to PE 12 on MAC.  Back in July, I previously asked what steps would be necessary to migrate to PE 11 on MAC, but I delayed making the move (waiting for the new MacBook Pro) and will now be migrating to PE 12. 
    Do I still follow the same steps for a (hopefully!) smooth transition of my tagged photos and catalog?  i.e., migrate from PE 8 (Windows) to PE 12 (Windows).  Then from PE 12 (Windows) to PE 12 (MAC).  Are there any gotchas or caveats that I should be aware of?  I've read a few horror stories in various places and am nervous. 
    Thanks, Amy

    I'm a bit slow on implementation.  So far I have good news and bad news.  But bottom line, I need some additional help.
    First the good news: The upgrade in Windows from PE 8 to PE 12 went smoothly, with all tags and their hierarchical structure maintained.  Ditto for Albums which showed up under "Local Albums."
    I am now stymied with the bad news and hoping for more guidance:  I just got my new MacBook last week, with my data files transfered over from my Windows PC.  Unfortunately, the migration to PE 12 MAC (installed for me with the disc from the boxed version) did not make the transition smoothly.  All of my tags came in under "Imported Keyword Tags," with the hierarchical structure totally flattened, and they cannot be dragged-and-dropped into a renewed structure into People, Places, and Events tags, as appropriate.  Also, all of my Albums have disappeared. 
    I'm thinking that maybe I should restore the catalog.  But when I started to do so, I was asked to choose between New or Original Location.  Then, when I chose "original location" (not wanting to clutter my new hard drive with duplicates), PE 12 gave me a warning about the potential for changes to the existing file structure.  So I stopped and decided to come back to the Adobe Forum for more help. 
    Thanks in advance!  Again!  Amy
