Add luns in asm instance...

Hi,
I need to configure Oracle ASM to include 5 additional new LUN . The oracle database is already up and running on an Oracle DB. The DB is already configured for 6 LUNs, but we need the DB updated to include the 5 new LUNs.
Already Configured disks:
/dev/rhdisk1 - 100 GB
/dev/rhdisk2 - 100 GB
/dev/rhdisk3 - 100 GB
/dev/rhdisk4 - 100 GB
/dev/rhdisk5 - 100 GB
/dev/rhdisk6 - 30 GB
New Disks to Configure:
/dev/rhdisk7
/dev/rhdisk8
/dev/rhdisk9sy
/dev/rhdisk10
/dev/rhdisk11
Please let me know steps how to do it and what all informance i need to do it..

..snipped..
New Disks to Configure:
/dev/rhdisk7
..snipped..Which means the ASM disk discovery string should be "+/dev/rdisk*+". And implies that ASM will automatically see these LUNs when made available by the o/s.
No additional steps needed on the ASM side.
On the o/s side, the new devices need to have the proper permissions in order for ASM to see and use these devices. So permissions need to be set in order for ASM to see these new devices. Assuming that is done, ASM will see these new LUNs.. just as it sees the existing LUNs. (ASM does not know the difference until it checks the header of each LUN to determine whether it is a member disk, or a candidate disk).

  • Add LUN into asm in rac (Solaris)

    I have a 2 node  oracle rac with asm . I have to add  new LUN  to asm  to increase space in asm disk group     I have  done the following on node1
    Ran format
    Created the partition on slice4 on the new  device file corresponding to the LUN
    Created the  block and character device file like  RAC_ORACLE_data_05 under /dev/dsk/oracle and /dev/rdsk/oracle (where the other  device files used by ASM also reside)  using the  major and minor number of the  new LUN
    Changed the permissions to oracle:dba
    The new LUN is now visible  through the ASM on node 1 as RAC_ORACLE_data_05
    My question is what steps I need to carry out on node 2  of the cluster
    The disk is visible  on node 2 as well
    The  disk is already showing up with the partitions as created through node 1
    Do I have to create the device file under /dev/dsk/oracle  with the major minor numbers as shown on node 2  for the LUN
    TIA

    Almost never use Solaris (last Oracle db I managed on Solaris was 10 years ago). And as this is not a Solaris o/s forum space, you should not expect quick answers to your Solaris o/s questions (which has little to do with ASM).
    A comment though on what needs to be done at o/s level to satisfy RAC/ASM requirements.
    ASM does not care for device names. Device names do not need to be persistent before and after reboots. Device names do not need to be persistent across RAC nodes in a cluster.
    ASM simply needs to
    a) be able to discover the device
    b) be able to open the device
    This means that the device name needs to match the ASM disk discovery string (or vice versa) across all RAC nodes/ASM instances. And that the device permissions need to allow access read/write access to ASM.
    ASM enumerates devices it can I/O using its discovery string. For each device, ASM opens the device. It then reads the ASM disk label of the disk. If there is a valid label, ASM knows the disk name, status, and failgroup and diskgroup this disk belongs to. If no label, ASM treats it  as a candidate disk.
    So from an o/s perspective - a cluster LUN/disk needs to be visible on all nodes, in order to use that disk for RAC/grid storage. Actual device name is not important.
    So whatever you did on node 1 to make that new LUN available to ASM, you need to do on node 2 and others.
    I have 2 bash scripts I feel are essential to managing a RAC. The 1st script enables me to execute a command on all RAC nodes. The 2nd script enables me to copy/distribute a local file to all other RAC nodes.
    So using these scripts and dealing with Linux as o/s, I would determine whether the new disk/LUN is seen by all RAC nodes, and whether the permissions are correct for ASM usage.
    If not, I will use the 2nd script to distribute the config file(s) needed to configure the other RAC nodes with the same changes (on Linux this typically would be /etc/multipath.conf). And then use the 1st script to enable those changes on all RAC nodes (e.g. by restarting multipathd).

  • Adding luns to asm on solaris

    Hi Experts,
    How to add luns to asm on solaris ? In linux i know with oracleasm command with options like scandisk, adddisk etc.. In solaris those rpms will not be there i guess.
    Thanks in advance,
    Mahesh.G

    Hi,
    I got the answer. It's " luxmadm probe " command that gives you the information about attached SAN Luns. You can add these luns to asm diskgroups.

  • 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).

    Thanks for your advice.
    Regards,
    Muhammad Riaz

    Hi,
    First you can add more disks to the diskgroup so you can get more space, ASM will do rebalance once new disks added.
    Second, It seems that your archivelog in dataguard were not deleted after being applied. You can delete the applied archivelog in dataguard, use RMAN is the best option
    Hope this helps

  • Rebooting the server with ASM instance............

    Hi folks
    I have to go for reboot of the server as I am adding a RAW device for having one more mount and also will be adding a disk to disk group.
    1) alter diskgroup diskgroupname add disk '/u09'; Is this correct to add a new disk to the diskgroup of ASM instance?
    2) I will have to shutdown all the six instances within the ASM instance and shutdown the ASM instance? Is this correct
    After a successfull Rebbot is done
    3) I will have to startup the ASM instance first and one by one startup the other six instances? Is it the right sequence.
    Please reply at the earliest.
    Thanks
    Shiva

    Hi
    If you want to shutdown the server to add the RAW device then:
    1. Shutdown all instances but shutdown ASM instance in the end.
    2. Shutdown server and add the RAW device.
    3. Startup server
    4 Add the diskgruop and also you can increase the value of rebalance parameter.
    5. Start all the instances that are using this ASM instance.
    Hope this Help

    That tutorial picks up after you created the disks.
    How did you create the virtual disks attatched to your vm? What are its properties - from VMWorksation's perspective.
    How did you create the "copy" of the vm?
    It depends on how you actually created the disks, at the vm level, not the partitioning and formatting at the vm's OS level. I've used Tim's tutorials myself on some other ASM related projects, and he typically has you create the ASM disks as 'sharable', which would mean they would not copy necessarily copy with the vm. I've not played around the with variants much, but I'm pretty sure what you are seeing is a result of either the way the disk was created in the original vm, or the way you made the copy of the vm, or both.
    Take a look at the machine properties of the two vms in the VMWorkstation control panel, looking at the HDD definitions. Compare and contrast.Hi EdStevens,
    My problem resolved with below steps. Thanks fro your replies.

    question:how to create an asm instance manaually?? diskgroup,listener,db ,they can be resigistered to crs??
    can anyone give me document about it?

    Hi,
    This is a simple answer:
    Automatic Storage Management (ASM)
    ASM was a new storage option introduced with Oracle Database 10gR1 that provides the services of a filesystem, logical volume manager, and software RAID in a platform-independent manner. ASM can stripe and mirror your disks, allow disks to be added or removed while the database is under load, and automatically balance I/O to remove "hot spots." It also supports direct and asynchronous I/O and implements the Oracle Data Manager API (simplified I/O system call interface) introduced in Oracle9i.
    ASM is not a general-purpose filesystem and can be used only for Oracle data files, redo logs, and control files. Files in ASM can be created and named automatically by the database (by use of the Oracle Managed Files feature) or manually by the DBA. Because the files stored in ASM are not accessible to the operating system, the only way to perform backup and recovery operations on databases that use ASM files is through Recovery Manager (RMAN).
    ASM is implemented as a separate Oracle instance that must be up if other databases are to be able to access it. Memory requirements for ASM are light: only 64 MB for most systems.
    Installing ASM
    On Linux platforms, ASM can use raw devices or devices managed via the ASMLib interface. Oracle recommends ASMLib over raw devices for ease-of-use and performance reasons. ASMLib 2.0 is available for free download from OTN. This section walks through the process of configuring a simple ASM instance by using ASMLib 2.0 and building a database that uses ASM for disk storage.
    Determine Which Version of ASMLib You Need
    ASMLib 2.0 is delivered as a set of three Linux packages:
    * oracleasmlib-2.0 - the ASM libraries
    * oracleasm-support-2.0 - utilities needed to administer ASMLib
    * oracleasm - a kernel module for the ASM library
    Each Linux distribution has its own set of ASMLib 2.0 packages, and within each distribution, each kernel version has a corresponding oracleasm package. The following paragraphs describe how to determine which set of packages you need.
    First, determine which kernel you are using by logging in as root and running the following command:
    uname -rm
    Ex:
    # uname -rm
    2.6.9-22.ELsmp i686
    The example shows that this is a 2.6.9-22 kernel for an SMP (multiprocessor) box using Intel i686 CPUs.
    Use this information to find the correct ASMLib packages on OTN:
    1. Point your Web browser to http://www.oracle.com/technology/tech/linux/asmlib/index.html
    2. Select the link for your version of Linux.
    3. Download the oracleasmlib and oracleasm-support packages for your version of Linux
    4. Download the oracleasm package corresponding to your kernel. In the example above, the oracleasm-2.6.9-22.ELsmp-2.0.0-1.i686.rpm package was used.
    Next, install the packages by executing the following command as root:
    rpm -Uvh oracleasm-kernel_version-asmlib_version.cpu_type.rpm \
    oracleasmlib-asmlib_version.cpu_type.rpm \
    oracleasm-support-asmlib_version.cpu_type.rpm
    Ex:
    # rpm -Uvh \
    > oracleasm-2.6.9-22.ELsmp-2.0.0-1.i686.rpm \
    > oracleasmlib-2.0.1-1.i386.rpm \
    > oracleasm-support-2.0.1-1.i386.rpm

    2:oracleasm-2.6.9-22.ELsm########################################### [ 67%]
    3:oracleasmlib ########################################### [100%]
    Configuring ASMLib
    Before using ASMLib, you must run a configuration script to prepare the driver. Run the following command as root, and answer the prompts as shown in the example below.
    # /etc/init.d/oracleasm configure
    Configuring the Oracle ASM library driver.
    This will configure the on-boot properties of the Oracle ASM library
    driver. The following questions will determine whether the driver is
    loaded on boot and what permissions it will have. The current values
    will be shown in brackets ('[]'). Hitting <ENTER> without typing an
    answer will keep that current value. Ctrl-C will abort.
    Default user to own the driver interface []: oracle
    Default group to own the driver interface []: dba
    Start Oracle ASM library driver on boot (y/n) [n]: y
    Fix permissions of Oracle ASM disks on boot (y/n) [y]: y
    Writing Oracle ASM library driver configuration: [  OK  ]
    Creating /dev/oracleasm mount point: [  OK  ]
    Loading module "oracleasm": [  OK  ]
    Mounting ASMlib driver filesystem: [  OK  ]
    Scanning system for ASM disks: [  OK  ]
    Next you tell the ASM driver which disks you want it to use. Oracle recommends that each disk contain a single partition for the entire disk. See Partitioning the Disks at the beginning of this section for an example of creating disk partitions.
    You mark disks for use by ASMLib by running the following command as root:
    /etc/init.d/oracleasm createdisk DISK_NAME device_name
    Tip: Enter the DISK_NAME in UPPERCASE letters.
    Ex:
    # /etc/init.d/oracleasm createdisk VOL1 /dev/sdb1
    Marking disk "/dev/sdb1" as an ASM disk: [  OK  ]
    # /etc/init.d/oracleasm createdisk VOL1 /dev/sdc1
    Marking disk "/dev/sdc1" as an ASM disk: [  OK  ]
    # /etc/init.d/oracleasm createdisk VOL1 /dev/sdd1
    Marking disk "/dev/sdd1" as an ASM disk: [  OK  ]
    Verify that ASMLib has marked the disks:
    # /etc/init.d/oracleasm listdisks
    VOL1
    VOL2
    VOL3
    Create the ASM Instance
    ASM runs as a separate Oracle instance which can be created and configured using the Oracle Universal Installer. Now that ASMLib is installed and the disks are marked for use, you can create an ASM instance.
    Log in as oracle and start runInstaller:
    $ ./runInstaller

  • Help while creating ASM instance on rac environment on Linux

    Help while creating ASM instance on rac environment on Oracle enterprise Linux 4 x84_64 Update 5 (10g2).
    a) Installed ASMLib 2.0 Packages
    b) Configured and Loaded the ASMLib 2.0 Packages
    c) Created ASM Disks for Oracle
    d) I can see, three volumes already defined for ASM file system.
    By running following command (on both node), I get following that means disk are detected.
    /etc/init.d/oracleasm listdisks
    VOL1
    VOL2
    VOL3
    But Disk members not displayed for creating disk groups. I even tried to "Change Disk Discovery Path" button and put "ORCL:VOL*" but still no luck.
    Someone told me use, use ADD DISKS button but this button is disabled for me.
    Can anyone, please help me if I missing something.

    *****SOLVED******
    Thanks for reply..
    I set the Change Disk Discovery Path" to /dev/oracleasm/disk/* instead of "ORCL:VOL* and this worked for me.

  • ASM Instance registeration with LISTENER

    Hi,
    For the purpose of Oracle Security change, I wanted to add SECURE_REGISTER_LISTENER = (TCP) to the listener.ora file. Then, I need to stop and start the listener, and to get the database register with the listener, I am supposed to do ALTER SYSTEM REGISTER;
    My question is:
    How will I register the ASM instance with the listener, please?
    is it same like registering database,i.e., ALTER SYSTEM REGISTER; while connecting with sys / as sysasm? will the ASM INSTANCE register dynamically?
    DB=10.2.0.4 OS=RHL
    [oracle@db ~]$ sqlplus / as sysasm

    Hi,
    Thanks.
    After a change to listener.ora, when I start listener and register, will I be able to see the same as below (regarding +ASM)? Because all the services should be running after the change, rite?
    LSNRCTL> services
    Service "+ASM" has 1 instance(s).
      Instance "+ASM", status READY, has 1 handler(s) for this service...
        Handler(s):

  • Creating ASM instance on windows (manually)

    Hi all,
    Can anyone guide me steps how to create ASM instance (manually) on windows in Oracle 11g.
    Because i am missing local config fine in <ORACLE_HOME>/bin folder in 11g
    Regards,
    Vikas Kohli

    Hi,
    From ASM HOME (%ORACLE_HOME%)
    # To create a new config
    Windows
    %ORACLE_HOME%/bin/localconfig.bat add
    # To recreate config
    Windows
    %ORACLE_HOME%/bin/localconfig.bat  reset <ORACLE_HOME>Then using DBCA create/reconfigure ASM instance from ASM HOME.
    I assume you are using version Oracle 11.1, if it's 11.2 ignore all above.
    Hope this helps,
    Levi Pereira
