ASM Instance restart

Hi...
I'm trying to start an ASM instance, but I'm receiving this error:
LRM-00109: could not open parameter file '/u07/oracle/asm/tech_st/10.2.0/dbs/init+ASM.ora'
The spfile+ASM.ora is there.
I set all ORACLE_SID, ORACLE_HOME env variables.
My SO is IBM AIX 5.3
Please help me.

FerOracle can not find pfile/spfile for ASM instance to starting.How you created ASM instance? manually or using DBCA?
You actually configured or nor configured ASM instance?.Can you post there parameter file of this ASM instance?
if you have extact name/path of pfile of ASM instance then
export ORACLE_SID=+ASM
sqlplus "/as sysdba"
startup pfile='pfile_location'

How does 1 ASM instance in a 10 node RAC cause all 10 ASM instance to hang

Linux RHEL4
11.2.0.1.0 GI
11.2.0.1.0 RDBMS
11.1.0.7.0 RDBMS
10.2.0.4.4 RDBMS
Yesterday we had one of the ASM instance on our 10-node cluster hang with a latch "ASM file allocation latch". Oracle support has stated we are hitting a bug with is fixed in the latest PSU.
What I am trying to understand is how a latch on one ASM instance caused all 10 ASM instances to hang?
Oracle Supports explanation still does not answer how all 10 ASM instance were affected other then the faulty code that the patch fixes. Bellow is info out of the SAR.
Data Guard Site:
================
ARC1 PID 21508 reports ORA-240 'control file enqueue held for more than 120 seconds' at Thu Oct 28 11:35:54 2010. This message means ARC1 PID 21508 was holding the enqueue past the maximum tine limit of 120 seconds.
Next ARC0 PID 17398 reports ORA-16146: 'control file enqueue unavailable' at Thu Oct 28 11:36:52 2010. This means ARC0 PID 17398 tried to access the controlfile and it could get the lock.
ARC1 PID 21508 is then killed at Thu Oct 28 11:49:57 2010.
Killing enqueue blocker (pid=21508) on resource CF-00000000-00000000 by (pid=23078) by killing session 5.3
We see that RSM has been restarted by Broker. This matches to the alert.log and messages showing RSM being restarted several time. i.e. RSM0 started with pid=84, OS id=27915
Since this started happening around 11:14, the problem may have really started then instead of w/ the CF enqueue block.
The primary appears to be shipping redo to the standby using asynchronous mode. Unless there was a gap, I do no know if ARC1 should have been doing any remote network I/O. Because a log switch to thread 1 sequence 5235 had just happened at 11:33am, I suspect it was a local disk I/O that was started at least. The ORA-240 is reported at 11:35, exactly 120 sec (or 2min) from this log switch. Notice also the entry to show the log thread 1 sequence 5234 was registered to the controlfile didn't happen yet.
ASM Side:
============
From the systemstate dump on ASM, multiple processes are waiting on 'ASM file allocation latch' and we are kind of stuck on stack:
ksedsts()+461<-ksdxfstk()+32<-ksdxcb()+1782<-sspuser()+112<-0000003218E0C5B0<-kfuhInsert()+175<-kffilCreate()+601<-kfnsUFG()+3691<-kfnsBackground()+4382<-kfnDispatch()+527<-opiodr()+1149<-ttcpip()+1251<-opitsk()+1633<-opiino()+958<-opiodr()+1149<-opidrv()+570<-sou2o()+103<-opimai_real()+133<-ssthrdmain()+214<-main()+201<-__libc_start_main()+219
This caused the hang on the ASM side and hence ASM was not responding to the database. The CF Enqueue issue on the database was a side effect of this.
This is a direct <BUG:9232266> which is a duplicate of <BUG:8974548>

Thanks Murali,
I was little reluctent to open a tar since my experince says that its better to troubleshoot the issue yourself instead of spending time with the Oracle support :)
Well, I got some more information on this : the sql for the process id of ASM instance is :
Alter Diskgroup mount all;
It looks like it is unable to mount the diskgroup and get hunged at that point , is it due to the new disk added to the system or do we missed something after adding the new disk.
Also, the ASM process can not be killed from unix box while the ASM is down.
Will appreciate your time if we can move in any directions from here ..
Thanks ,

Backing up a +ASM instance

I have started using asm and another DBA asked me if we should be backing up the +ASM instance. Right now we are not. Should we and how if we should?

There is no need nore way to backup an ASM instance, as it is only memory structures.
You may backup the ASM spfile, to be able to restart the ASM instance in case of lossing it's init.ora or spfile.
The physical data of ASM, the diskgroups metadata, is written on every header of the disk members. If you are using normal or high redundancy the metadata will be protected by ASM if you are using external redundancy it will be protected by the storage array you are using.
ASM Data, will be backed up as usual, using Rman or Storage snapshots.

How to clean the asm instance from RAC manually

for some reason i run crs_unregister asm and crs_unregister lsnr to remove the asm and listener resource from crs yesterday
and today i want rebuild the asm instance ,so i run dbca again ,but error

DBCA could not startup the ASM instance on node: rac1. Manual intervention is required to recreate these instances. If you choose to proceed, ASM diskgroups will not be mounted on non-started remote ASM instances. Do you want to proceed with ASM diskgroup management?
and problem is how to do this "Manual intervention is required to recreate these instances", I already do 1, dd the asm disk, 2, remove the +ASM directory from $ORACLE_BASE, 3,clean ASM info from /etc/oratab, so what i can do next ?
i try restart crs ,now the error info is different !!

Hi,
Can you post the dbca log?
and do you share the asm home with oracle home? if it is separated then add LISTENER_+ASM1 in tnsnames in ASMHOME, otherwise add it in ORACLEHOME
Cheers

chris

Really would help to know what operating system you are using...
When you set up the disks for use with ASM, did you stamp them with ASMLIB? If not, did you configure device persistance with udev? Without using one of these methods, the disk identification can change when a node is restarted, and ASM is then unable to locate the disks.

ASM Instance down in Solaris due to missing ocr.loc file

We had to restart our solaris machine due to a hardware failure.
When i tried to start to ASM instance, i got the error.
SQL> startup mount;
ORA-29701: unable to connect to Cluster Manager
The css daemons were not started. I checked it using
$ ps -ef | grep css
After logging in as ROOT and setting Oracle's bin directory in its path, i tried to run
#./localconfig . But i didn't succeed.
Then I came to know that you can start css by executing init.cssd script in ($ORACLE_HOME/css/admin)
/u01/oracle/10g/css/admin
$ ./init.cssd start
./init.cssd: /var/opt/oracle/ocr.loc: cannot open
There is no such file called ocr.loc in this location. I confirmed it by
So I looked for /var/opt/oracle/ocr.loc
$ file /var/opt/oracle/ocr.loc
/var/opt/oracle/ocr.loc: cannot open: No such file or directory
What do i do?

Boutet,
Before you go ahead and restore the OCR, for that matter even to restore it successfully, you would need to restore/recreate the file /var/opt/oracle/ocr.loc. This file has the location of the OCR file, without this file, you will not be able to restore the OCR.
The contents of the ocr.loc file would be something like this (I am including this information so that you may like to use it to recreate the file, in case you lost the original one).
cat /etc/oracle/ocr.loc
ocrconfig_loc=/<path>/cdata/localhost/local.ocr
local_only=TRUE
Hope this help.
Thanks

11g R2 Grid Infrastructure asmca cannot detect 11g R1 ASM instance

I am playing with 11g ASM with XEN (one node on host (or dom0) and another node on vm (or dom1)) and was trying to do a Clusterware + ASM upgrade from 11.0.6 to 11.2.0.

Hi Thtsang,
sorry for not coming back to you earlier and thanks for "the helpful".
So, are you saying that after you have removed all the environment variables, you still got the error message "ORA-01034: ORACLE not available"? I thought you got an "ASM upgrade failed", because ASM was down at the time of the upgrade, which you then corrected saying: "In fact, ASM instance was started from Grid Infrastructure home.". Overall, I need to say that I am a bit confused to be honest.
The alert log entry sounds promising, although, one would need to see more context. For: "But when I use crsctl / srvctl to start ASM, it is still running in 11g R1 Oracle Home." So, something went wrong with the update. For: "BTW, if asmca does not work for me, can I upgrade manually?" - ASMCA is the tool that will perform an ASM upgrade. You can call it interactively, but you will have to use it.
Support note ID 950200.1 - "ASM 11gR2: How To Upgrade An ASM Instance To Release 11gR2 (11.2.0.1.0)?" describes an ASM upgrade to 11.2. Maybe this note can help you and if it is only to analyze what stage your cluster is in right now. It sounds like, this would be first thing that we need to find out.
Good luck. Thanks,
Markus

Trouble creating ASM instance

Hi,
I successfully installed clusterware and database and installed patchet 10.2.0.2 on a 2 node RAC (fresh installation).
I tried configuring ASM using DBCA but i am getting this message which doesnt make sense as its a RAC:
"The ASM instance configured on the local node ia s single-instance ASM. To manage this instance as a single-instance ASM, restart the DBCA and select the single-instance database option. To manage this instance as a RAC ASM, convert it to a RAC first."
Any help much appreciated.

Slow Susbend error in ASM instance

Hi.,
I am new to grid computing.Our system is build by grid computing now a days we are facing the Slow suspend Error in ASM instance.for this ASM is freezed and then we restart all Database and ASM instance in the particular node.After that its working very fine.we facing this problem very frequently ( weekly twice ).
Please help me on this.
Thanks & Regards
Karthick.

Are you saying it is not suspending at all [ are you using ALTER SYSTEM SUSPEND ? ] or just that it is doing it slowly ?
Either way probably best to raise a TAR ...... what errors are you getting ?

Disable asm instance doubt

we can enable or disable an ASM instance on a node using using the following syntax..
can you tell me whether what would be the exact scenario in which we disable the instance.. if we want to remove a node in RAC environment we delete it.. what is the use of disable option. please help guys..
Use the following syntax to enable an Oracle ASM instance:
srvctl enable asm [-n node_name]
Use the following syntax to disable an Oracle ASM instance:
srvctl disable asm [-n node_name]

From 10.2 doc http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/rac.102/b14197/srvctladmin.htm#RACAD5026:
>
srvctl disable
Disables a specified object (cluster database, database instance, ASM instance, or service). SRVCTL disable is intended to be used when an object is to be repaired or is down for maintenance to prevent inappropriate automatic restarts. When you issue the disable command, the object is disabled and unavailable to run under Oracle Clusterware for automatic startup, failover, or restart. If you specify -i instance_name, then SRVCTL only disables the service from running on the specified instance.

ORA-00488: RBAL process terminated with error causing ASM instance to crash

Hi Freinds,
I am manging a three node ASM cluster on 10g(10.2.0.2).Yesterday I observed one of the ASM instance got crashed .On reviewing the Alert log of crashed ASM instance I found
"*ORA-00488: RBAL process terminated with error*"
and subsequently
"*PMON: terminating instance due to error 488*".
I could restart the crashed instance without an issues but I want to know what kind of event could lead to such scenario.
I searched net and metalink but didn't found any helpful information.
Did any of you faced similar issues and do you have understanding why and when it happens.
Thanks in Advance
Arindam.

Hi,
There is bug reported on such issue, please check further on metalink if you have support.

Convert ASM single instance to RAC ASM instance...

Hi, all
Im installing OracleDatabase with RAC and I got an error on the Database Configuration Assistant that says "The ASM instance configured on the local node is a single instance. To manage this instance as a single-instance ASM restart DBCA and select the single instance database option. To manage this instance as RAC ASM, convert it to RAC ASM first".
How I can convert it??
Thanks

See the link below for converting a single instance ASM to RAC ASM. The link is to the Oracle® Database Oracle Clusterware and Oracle Real Application Clusters Installation Guide for Linux. If your platform is not Linux, check the Install Guide for your OS.

Possible to create new ASM instance and "import" existing diskgroup?

This is my worst nightmare. Two days before a server was about to be shut down, it crashed on me, corrupting the filesystem where Oracle was installed. Setup was an HP-UX 11.11 server running Oracle 10g with ASM storage on a disk array. Both instances were in the filesystem that got corrupted, and amazingly, we don't have a backup, so I'm not able to restore the instance configs and restart the database. Presumably, my data is still sitting there on the disks that belong to the ASM diskgroup, but I don't know how to get at it. I started by creating a new ASM instance, but I can't figure out if there's a way to create a diskgroup out of those 16 disks without wiping out what's on them.
V$ASM_DISK shows all the disks as MEMBERs, with the CREATE_DATE that they were originally created, so I know at least the headers are intact. So is there any way I can manually recreate that diskgroup in my new instance so it will mount the disks and let me at the data?
I realize that not having backups is the height of stupidity, but that boat has sailed. My company also chose not to pay for Oracle Support this year, so I'm kind of on my own. If anybody can at least point me in the right direction or tell me that it's a lost cause, I'd appreciate it.

Well, a little progress. I was able to finally mount the disks in my new ASM instance, and using asmcmd, I can actually see my datafiles sitting there. So now I'm thinking I should try manually creating a new database instance pointing to the spfile that's in there and try starting that. I'm also going to try using RMAN and the XMLDB FTP trick to copy those datafiles somewhere else so I know I can play with them.

Hi,
i've got similar problem but my asm is not just down. After installing grid home with infrastructure I've restarted os and there is no crs services and the only result from this command:

I've tried to reconfigure HAS through (as root):
$GRID_HOME/crs/install/roothas.pl -deconfig -force -verbose
$GRID_HOME/root.shthis gave me working asm instance but after restart I'm in base position with no crs services.
And... I've tried to startup crs after restart with no luck but before restart I can shutdown everything and startup ASM instance too (so everything is fine till the reboot). I'm on CentOS 6:

Change Node association of ASM instance

Hi,
I have a 4-node cluster running RHEL 5 and GI - 11.2.0.2. After a successful installation we discovered that the asm instance association got switched between Node 2 & Node 3.
e.g., - Node 2 is running ASM3 instance
Node 3 is running ASM2 instance.
Is it possible to correct this, or do I need to rebuild the whole cluster again!?
Thanks,
AbbY

Hi AbbY,
this is the result, that the root.sh on node 3 was faster than the one on node 2 during install.
If you would like to have the ASM instance in a specific order after installation, you have to run them sequentially (and nor in parallel).
But one thing you should also be aware of, is that the ASM number in 11.2 is not fix anymore:
=> The ASM instance number is dependant on the node number (olsnodes -n -i -t -s).
=> Each nodes gets a lease for the node number for approx. 1 week. It's like a DHCP lease, which can expire if not started.
So if you would shut down node 2 and 3 for one week and then restart the nodes in a different order, lease would change (and therefor the ASM instance number).
Which leads to the further question (because this is really flexible): Why do you want the +ASM instances to have fixed names?
If your nodes would be "Mars" and "Pluto", would it matter where ASM1 and ASM2 runs on?
If you say: We need to know for sqlplus to connect to ASM instance. Why not simply connect this way to ASM:
sqlplus sys/pwd@hostname:port/+ASM
You will always end up on the ASM instance on the node (no matter what instance number the ASM instance has on that node).
O.k. I have to admit there are still a few tools who need the instance number (like asmcmd), but I know this necessity will change, since cluster gets more flexible in the future.
