Migrating a database to ASM.

Hi all,
I have an environment for test purposes running 10.2.0.1.0 database on a Linux CentOS 4 box.
Now what I´m trying to accomplish is migrate this database to ASM.
Some adittional info:
$ ps -ef | grep pmon
oracle 4063 1 0 07:27 ? 00:00:00 ora_pmon_APPS102
502 6659 1 0 07:34 ? 00:00:00 asm_pmon_+ASM
$ lsnrctl status
Services Summary...
Service "+ASM" has 1 instance(s).
Instance "+ASM", status BLOCKED, has 1 handler(s) for this service...
Service "APPS102" has 1 instance(s).
Instance "APPS102", status READY, has 1 handler(s) for this service...
What I´m doing is to log into database through EM 10g console as sys user, then I go to the Administration page from where I can run the ASM migration wizard.
Then, after inform my SYS password and my Host account/Password, I´m facing below error:
Listener refused the connection with the following error: ORA-12528, TNS:listener: all appropriate instances are blocking new connections The Connection descriptor used by the client was: (description=(address=(host=VM_PEGASUS.localdomain)(protocol=tcp)(port=1521))(connect_data=(sid=+ASM)(server=dedicated)))
I´ve already stopped and started the listener and restarted both instances. Did not work, same situation.
Well, any help will be very appreciated.
Thanks,
Marcello M.

Hi,
Please see (How To Use Automatic Shared Memory Management (ASMM) In Oracle10g) Doc ID: Note:295626.1 on Oracle Metalink.
The main goal of this document is to show you how to put in place the ASMM facility introduced with Oracle10g, how to configure it, and also some examples on how to monitor its activity.

Migrate existing database to ASM.

Hello all,
I am currently working on stand alone database and i want to migrate my existing database to ASM.
i am trying it via RMAN and i did the following changes in my database :-
SQL>alter system set control_files='+data' scope=spfile;
System altered.
SQL>alter system set db_create_file_dest='+data' scope=spfile;
System altered.
SQL>alter system set db_recovery_file_dest='+data' scope=spfile;
System altered.
here "data" is the disk group
than i shutdown the db and started in no mount mode
so i can start the migration via RMAN
in rman i did the following things:-

Migrated the database to ASM storage .

Hi friends,
I have migrated the database from 10g(non-asm) to 11g ASM storage on solaris machine. I am facing database slowness after the database upgrade.I don't find any problem in the ADDM/AWR report.
Could you please suggest me whether anything needs to check?
Regards
Rocky

Can you run ADDM from the dbconsole?
Also you can run sql tuning advisor.
However, its worth checking your diskgroups.
Can you post Mountpoints defined in /etc/vfstab ?

Migrate entire database to ASM on another server via RMAN minimal downtime

Hi
I was looking for a procedure to migrate non ASM production databases to ASM via RMAN on a separate server with minimal downtime (backup as copy/switch database to copy technique). We have TDPO for tape backup and I normally rman clone test databases between servers but this involves too much downtime for production. The procedure in the ASM Admin Guide (Chapter 8) assumes the databases are on the same server.
Thanks

Tom CullenDear Tom. Why you think you'll have downtime in the production database? The database will be running while the clone will be processing. Check the following link:

Migrate VLDB(30TB) NonRAC database to ASM

My customer is running 10.2.0.5 database which is 30TB in size. Its HACMP/PowerHA with active/passive configuration.
Customer would like to migrate this database to ASM. They dont take rman backups because of the size of the database and rely on bcv backup technology. Customer would like to know what is the best possible way of doing this migration with minimal downtime and risk.

BCV uses copy on write technology and advanced mirroring techniques. A BCVs can be used to resync data or it can be detached from the active data storage and mounted separately for offline processing.
If a complete restore of an object or previous device clone is sufficient then it can be a quick disaster recovery. However, certain implementations, like EMC Timefinder/Snapshot are not suitable for disaster recovery since they rely on the existence of the original data source.
Anyway, I think BCV technology provides only a very limited way for Oracle database backup since it duplicates data errors and is not suitable for advanced rman database or tablespace restore and recovery. A 30 TB database can be time consuming for RMAN, which also depends on what kind of database it is and, for instance, how frequent a full backup is required, but it can be done.
Regarding NAS, it is just an example to show that affordable storage solutions exist and that it does not have to be expensive EMC storage. I do not see why such a solution cannot meet very strict data center controls in terms of technical aspects.

E Business suite 11i with Database in ASM - Cloning

Hi All,
We are planning to migrate the E Business suite database to ASM and wanted to know the best cloning method to perform the cloning from Production to non production.
Applciation - 11.5.10.2
Database - 10.2.0.4 in ASM
Since i dont see any specific notes in metalink on this, raised an SR with oracle and they told that oracle does not support this but we can use RMAN as few of the customers use RMAN to perform the clonine.
Can you please advice on the best methode to perform this
Our constraints :
We have a constrain in performing the cloning through RMAN, for performing the duplicate database we need to have the sqlplus connection between prod and non prod. We will not be getting this setup due to security policy.
I had referred the "Best Practices for Cloning ASM-managed Databases" white paper
Thanks & Regards,

Standby database with ASM disks?

Has anyone successfully created a standby database when the primary database and the standby database are using ASM disks? If the answer is yes, how did you copy the files(database backup, control files, etc.) from the asm on primary to asm on standby?
Note: I am using 10gR2 on HP-UX but the copy part should be platform independent so however you did it should help me.

Hi d_carmichael2001,
I had done database migration from Non-asm to ASM for single instance by RMAN.
and i think mostly steps are same for create standby database on ASM.
Have a Look.......
1.create a ASM instance manually on new server.
2.Take a backup of Prod database and controlfile.
**backup of controlfile for Standby should be taken as
BACKUP CURRENT CONTROLFILE FOR STANDBY;
Backup database cmd will be same as Backup database plus archivelog;
3. create standby database by using following cmd and set necessary parameter before execute it
Diskgroup for standby should be define in standby spfile's.
**Standby database should be in nomount stange
**connect as % rman TARGET / AUXILIARY SYS/sys_pwd@sbdb1
Use
DUPLICATE TARGET DATABASE FOR STANDBY ;
This command will copy the datafiles, archived redo log files and standby control file in the backup set to the standby database's storage area.
Thanks

we have gone through many oracle support documents but were unable to decide which path we should adopt. Any body who has done similar activity; please share only highly level steps. No step by step Instructions are needed. e.g. Install Grid Infrastructure (for single instance or the one which comes with cluster home???????), Move datafiles to ASM etc etc
Please make sure the steps are for 11gR2 and EBS R12.

Creating standby database from ASM production database in standard edition

Hi,
I am using oracle 10g release 2 standard edition. I recently created a database instance and wanted to create a standby database instance. After sorting out how to achieve this without managed standby and data guard I finally got it working and the shipped archive logs are applied and working well on the standby database.
Now I am thinking of re-creating my production database and using ASM for storage managment. By doing this can a standby database still be created from a primary database using ASM? I want to be sure I can before I commit to using ASM for the production instance and manually creating a standby database from that instance.
Note: I am using standard edition not enterprise edition.

Hi
For Oracle SE standby, you can visit www.anbultechnologies.co.uk , they have a brilliant product name DRMC which is Automatic disaster recovery solution with automatic failover in case primary goes down due to any reason.
We are using this product for more than 2 years and it works like a dream using Oracle Standard Edition. We have depolyed more databases and Standby solution within the prices of 2 EE edition licenses.
You can give ma try as well.

How can I determine what sites are being referenced within Central Admin Upgrade and Migration Manage Databases Upgrade Status?

When I go to Central Admin > Upgrade and Migration > Manage Databases Upgrade Status, I have 2 content databases which have the status:
Database is up to date, but some sites are not completely upgraded.
How can I determine which sites are not completely upgraded?

Manage Databases Upgrade Status will provide you all active and offline DB details, you can get same result
using below PowerShell cmdlet.
Get-SPDatabase and Get-SPContentDatabase will provide all active database/Content DB in Farm which include Service application db, central admin DB.
Get-SPDatabase | Format-Table Name, ID
Coming back to your question, if you find that there are some site are not completely upgraded then run below command and understand the cause if issue on specific DB.
Test-SPContentDatabase WSS_ContentDB_Name
If you find any missing file issue in DB then resolve these issue to upgrade content database.
(verify all customizations referenced within the content database are also installed in the web application. This cmdlet can be issued
against a content database currently attached to the farm, or a content database that is not connected to the farm )
Use the Upgrade-SPContentDatabase cmdlet
to resume a failed database upgrade or begin a build-to-build database upgrade against a SharePoint content database
Upgrade-SPContentDatabase WSS_Content

How to create second database at ASM in 4 node RAC system

Hi Experts,
we use 4 nodes RAC (11.0.1) with 10.2.0. 4 database in red hat5.0
we want to add second database at ASM in RAC system based on manager decision.
how do I add second database in ASM with exist database?
Do I need to created new ASM insatnce?
how to create two new diskgroup? is it under existing ASM instance or new ASM instance?
how to reset ASM properity to support ( or new) ASM instance and two database?
Do I need to configure AMS again after added more space into ASM?
I could not find ducument that add seconf database into ASM in RAC system.
I want add second database by dbca. any experience for add second database in ASM RAC ?
Thanks for help!
JIm

Hi... I'm in the same situation.
I need to add a new second database on a RAC installation based on already available ASM instance.
I'm using 11gR2.
I read your suggested documentation. Then I typed asmca and analyzed my asm configuration:
As you can see I have a DISK GROUP NAME with several FREE space.
!http://img522.yfrog.com/img522/8405/dbca20100203173248.jpg!
If I select Volumes tab the following is my current configuration:
!http://img682.yfrog.com/img682/562/dbca20100203173343.jpg!
Selecting Create button, I can insert some values as you can see:
!http://img403.yfrog.com/img403/9889/dbca20100203173403.jpg!
First question:
Is this the right way to create space for a new database ? Consider that running dbca.. no DISK GROUP NAME is available.
Second question:
When I created my first database on this DISK GROUP NAME no volumes were created. Why now I have to do it ? Is this necessary to really separate datafiles coming from different databases ?

Migration oracle database 8.1.7.3 to 10.2.0.2

Hi,
I have a problem to migrate my database in 8.1.7.3 to 10.2.0.2 on different database server because the size fo this database is 2200Gigas.
With RMAN or copy it's not possible because the database version are different.
The solution is the export/import but it's probably too long.
Anybody have a solution

The other solution is "Database Upgrade". Here are the basic steps whci you can perform for this:
1) Install oracle 8i (with same patchset as the old one) and oracle 10g on new server
2) Restore the RMAN backup of your 8i database on new server and start the database using 8i home.
3) Apply 8.1.7.4 patch on 8i DB
4) Either run DBUA or use manual update to update you 8i DB to 10g
Here is the doc for Database Upgrade process:

How can i Migrate a database from DB2 to SQL Server 2008r2.

Hi Gurus,
Kindly help me letting me know the process for migrating the database from DB2 to SQL Server.
1) Is there any way to migrate a database from DB2 to SqlServer. (My assumption is we can not migrate database, if wrong correct me gurus).
2) Or we can only transfer data from that DB2 database to SQL Server (Using SSIS packages).
Please help me knowing the process to migrate the data from DB2 server to MSSQL server. Even am reading the documents available in the web.
Thanks in advance.. :)

Microsoft provide a migration assistant for DB2 to SQL Server:
http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=45296
SQL Server Migration Assistant (SSMA) is a free supported tool from Microsoft that simplifies database migration process from DB2 to SQL Server and Azure SQL DB. SSMA automates all aspects of migration including migration assessment analysis, schema and
SQL statement conversion and data migration.
Hope that helps

How do I know if my database is ASM

I have Windows XP + 10g 10.2.0.1.0
How do I know if my database is ASM?
Thanks in advance.

How do I know if my database is ASM?There is not such term "my database is ASM".But your database can be use ASM diskgroup.It means ASM instance was mounted some disk groups then your database files like control/data and online logs can be locate this diskgroups.For example if you query from SELECT NAME FROM V$DATAFILE then you can get as +DGR1/datafile/<datafile name>* there DGR1 is diskgroup and it mean is database use ASM instance.
