Multiple ASM instances using single cluster install - Is it possible??

Hi,
I have 2 node RAC cluster installed on Linux. All the storage is on EMC. I need to setup another environment using HP storage on the same hosts. Is it possible to created second ASM instance using the same cluster install?? I wanted to have clear separation b/w EMC and HP environments and that's wondering if it's feasible to do that.
Haven't tried it yet to see if it complains.
Thx
Anitha

Anitha,
The data migration won't happen (at least not aggressively) until you do step 2 in your list where you remove the EMC disks. That removal operation will take a long time as Oracle will have to move the data before it can complete the operation. If you want to be sure, I'd recommend creating a new disk group with one of your new disks, put a small tablespace in it, create some data in it, then add a disk to that new group and remove the original disk. Then you'll have some confidence in the procedure and verify that it works without risking your production data. After you test, you can drop the disk group and use the disks for their intended purposes.
To answer your question, yes, that's the process exactly as I suggested it above. Should work fine--but will probably take a while to do the remove, so be prepared to leave that running for quite a while (i.e. don't expect to close the terminal and go home right after running the remove).

  • Can there be multiple ASM instances on single node?

    Hi,
    Can there be multiple ASM instances on single node?
    This one says No : http://www.freelists.org/archives/oracle-l/02-2008/msg00317.html

    ...that document doesnt say you cannot have multiple ASM instances on a node. It says "...ASM, +you only need one ASM+ instance for that computer, to manage the two database instances that use ASM."
    The fact that you only need one - and I cannot think of a good reason to have more than one - does not preclude the fact that you do seem to be able to have multiple ASM instances on a single node, each looking after its own set of disks and diskgroups.
    Again - I cannot think of a good reason to do so though!

  • Multiple ASM Instances on single node

    Hi All,
    After going through some threads it seems to me that multiple ASM instances on a node is not supported and recommended by ORACLE but i coudn't find any ORACLE document or support matrix mentioning this. Can any one give me a pointer to this. Please correct me if i am wrong and Multiple ASM instances are fully supported by ORACLE.
    Thanks,

    Multiple ASM instances on a single node are supported but not recommended due to several issues you could encounter during that kind of configuration.
    Possible interraction between those instances for identification of each disk area usage,each disk area permissions , database instance to asm instance mapping and so on, could result in unwanted behaviour, as ASM is in some way just oracle's representation of LVM.
    Intention is that any kind of distinction/separation of oracle related data under the ASM should be done through the disk groups.
    So it seems it would be better to apply this kind of logic rather than doing suspiciously magical and rare configurations that could bring you similiary strange and unexpected problems.

  • Can I have multiple TFS instances use a single SSRS installation

    Can I have multiple TFS instances use a single SSRS installation?
    Thanks

    Hi Kim,
    According to your description, you have multiple TFS instances using one Reporting Services instance. Right?
    For installing TFS, to use a named instance with Team Foundation Server, you must install SQL Server by using a named instance, or move or restore Team Foundation Server data to a named instance, or create a team project collection on a named instance. Please
    refer to the link below:
    Work with SQL Server Named Instances
    Reference:
    Understanding SQL Server and SQL Server Reporting Services
    If you have any question, please feel free to ask.

  • Multiple ASM instances on a single node

    Can i have multiple ASM instances on a single node? This is to have each instance supporting different environment dev,stage etc
    Thanks

    I had been discussing the same issue with someone from Oracle. I asked for multiple ASMs on a server so that we could have seperate ASMs running for, say, 10g and 11g.
    He explained that we should think of ASM as being the same as Veritas FileSystem. We don't run multiple instances of Veritas on our servers. On single Veritas "instance" (set of drivers) provides all the Veritas Fx mountpoints on the server. Similarly, there should be only 1 ASM instance on a server.
    (substitute UFS or ZFS or CFS for Veritas in the above example and you still have only 1 filesystem manager on a server providing one type of filesystem, although you could have, say , UFS and Veritas co-exist ; just as you could have Veritas, ASM and Raw co-exist on a server).

  • Multiple weblogic instances using IIS to proxy the requests

    I have a need to run multiple weblogic instances using IIS as the web
    server.
    Does anyone know if this is possible. I am aware and have been able to run
    multiple weblogic servers as an nt service,
    but in those cases weblogic was being called and IIS was being bypassed.
    Now the user base wishes to use IIS to proxy the requests.
    I have been able to set IIS to forward using the .jhtml and .jsp file
    extensions to the iisproxy.dll, but have not been able to forward these
    requests to multiple weblogic instances. When the request is made it is
    only looking in the first instance of weblogic for the request.
    Is it possible to use weblogic and IIS with two or more weblogic instances,
    without weblogic acting as a webserver.
    I dont believe this is possible but I need to find out if this really is the
    case.
    Thanks for any help you can provide.
    Ed

    You need run each IIS web server instance in its own memory space. This can
    be set through the Management Console for IIS.

    We tried to do this & Weblogic doesn't support this config. We opened upa
    support call with them regarding this, but there is a problem with the way
    that IIS & NT proxies .JSP pages to the weblogic servers. It's very
    unstable this way & I wouldn't recommend this config.
    We switched to Apache with virtual hosts to do this & it works fine. It's
    probably not the answer you want to hear, but it works very well.
    If you have any questions, just ask away.

    We tried to do the same thing.
    We copied iisproxy.dll and iisproxy.ini to server1 and let IIS use this.dll
    instance for proxying .jsp etc.
    We copied the iisproxy.dll and iisproxy.ini to server 2, renamed
    iisproxy.dll to iisproxy2.dll (to make sure another instance was used)
    and
    let the second iis site use iisproxy2.dll, but that didn't worked. (It
    doesn't read the iisproxy.ini file located in the same directory as the.dll
    file, altough in the manual it says it checks this first.) Now, I thinkit's
    possosible to use several iisproxy.dll's as long as you rename it so
    each
    get it's own instance, the only problem is that each .dll doesn't readthe
    correct iisproxy.ini file. (BEA, is this for SP7?)

  • Logging into multiple instance using single ID

    We have multiple instances of CRM ONDemand and have login ID for each instance. I have a group of users who are users across multiple instances, the problem is they have to login using ID and Password every time they navigate across instances. Is there a way in which this can be simplified.
    Eg:
    I have 2 countries with different data set and due to nature of business I have to keep the data separate. But I have operational resources who have to access both instances, is there a way in which they can access both instances from single screen.

    Hi, For seemless navigation of users across instances you can thing about implementing SSO. But if you like to see data across instances in one single instance, it may not be possible without using webservices

  • Configure ASM Instance in RAC cluster - problem

    Linux RH4 with Oracle 11.1.0.6
    I previously had ASM working in a RAC environment, but have uninstalled on all 3 nodes following Oracle guidelines.
    When I attempt to re-configure ASM it states that an ASM instance is located in nodes 2 and 3. Previous ASM software has been removed, and there are no entries in the /etc/oratab files on any of the nodes.
    How do I locate and then remove these instances on nodes 2 and 3
    Thanks

    Steps in Note 311350.1 have been followed, and there are no occurances of ASM appearing in the crs_stat output. Also the fact that the ASM software has also been removed from all of the various, where are these ASM instances being started?
    I am unable to proceed past the "Select Configuration Screen" which gives you the option to 1)Create Database, 2)Configure ASM or 3) Install Software only.
    When I select option 2 and enter ASM SYS password, I get the error message that ASM instances are present in the other nodes.
    Would appreciate any help in how I can progress past this stage.
    Thanks

  • ASM instance in the cluster shows status pending in grid control

    All,
    I have the ASM instance in separate home and the cluster database in another home .
    I am able to see the cluster database up and running in the grid control but somehow cant see the ASM instance .
    I will appreciate any pointers .
    thanks in advance
    Pk

    Try these two things:
    1) Deployments=>Refresh Host Configuration=>Select the hostname and then hit on "Refresh Hosts".
    If that doesn't work
    2) Targets=>Databases=>Select the ASM Instance=>Configure

  • Multiple Database Instances on Single Server and effect of NLS_LANG

    What is the effect of the NLS_LANG registry setting on a Windows server that is to host multiple database instance each created with a different database character set ? The server needs to support data in the following languages : Thai, Chinese Traditional, Chinese Simplified, Vietnamese and Korean. Selecting the Unicode character set(AL32UTF8) is not an option since the application is not Unicode complaint.
    My understanding is that as long as NLS_LANG is set correctly on the client connecting to the particular database instance then the data will be stored correctly - is this correct ?
    What should NLS_LANG be set to on the server if there are multiple oracle instances with different character sets ?

    My question is not in relation to connecting to the database on the server itself but with regards to client connections. What I need to know is what is the effect of the NLS_LANG setting in the registry on a server that has multiple databases each created with a different character set ?
    Say for instance, the server has two databases - one created with the character set ZHS16GBK and the other created with the character set JA16SJIS and NLS_LANG is set to SIMPLIFIED CHINESE_CHINA.ZHS16GBK in the registry on the server. Will Japanese data that is inserted into the database that has character set JA16SJIS be stored correctly when it is inserted from a client with NLS_LANG set to JAPANESE_JAPAN.JA16SJIS even though NLS_LANG is set to SIMPLIFIED CHINESE_CHINA.ZHS16GBK on the server ?

  • Multiple oracle instances in single SLD

    Hi
    There is requirement from management that they need a seperate database in the present SLD (DEV,QAS,PRD). Since they plan to move this database in future to another SLD. I have gone through some SAP notes that u can have multiple SAP systems and underlying databases on a single host. Also I noted that u need to have a seperate transport directory.
    My doubt is since SAP SID requires a Database SID during the installation. So how this new database can be incorporated in the present system.
    If any white papers,pitfalls are highly appreciated.
    Thanks

    Hi Erick
    It is the same oracle version i.e 9i rel.2. we need a seperate oracle insance. My concern is even though u installed a new database making it available in the present DEV,QAS,PRD is a problem. How the existing Dialog instances will recognise this new oracle instance.
    what i came to know from the documents is that u need to have a seperate SAP systems and underlying the new database is quite possible and u need to take care of sizing. I searched on the net but couldn't find a similar scenario.
    Any other inputs are higly appreciated.

  • Multiple BI instances on single BI  Server

    Hello,
    I want to know if we can have multiple instances of BI run on single installation
    i.e on single installation
    I would like to run two different rpds and two different webcatalogs.
    Can this be done?
    If this can be done does oracle support this kind of installation?
    Regards,
    Deep

    Hi,
    Technically, I think you can run two mutually exclusive services on one server. You need an web application layer for managing like OC4J, weblogic, etc wherein you deploy two instance of presentation services with different port and each of these have DSN to different RPD's. I doubt you will be able to run on an IIS server (web layer).
    As far with the support, I think oracle supports single instance of Presentation services, but check with your oracle sales person on that.

  • Multiple HTTP requests using single HTTPService component

    I am having one requirement, I need to use a single HTTPService component to send request to a same and single ASP.net multiple times.
    How can I acheive that..? I know that I can acheive this by sending one request at a time and after the "result" event is called for the first request then sending the second request and so on...
    But if I do so then it will be delayed response as I need to wait until the result handler for the previous request is called...
    So how do I do this..?
    Any help greatly appreciated....:)

    yep, the setting works when set to 10. Seemed to not work when set to 20. Anyways, summary is "long polling" and Flex
    or Flash are not good compatriates. So, you will need to work out your own mechanism on the server or client
    side to limit the sockets used/wasted. Painful but true.
