ASM and SAN layout

I am considering using ASM on a SAN with many LUNs.
1. Should I create 1 diskgroup for each LUN?
2. All I need is one bigfile tablespace correct? We are not using transportable tablespaces so no need for separation.
3. Should I put indexes in a separate tablespace if I am using ASM with a SAN?

Yes. It is better to keep redo and archive logs in seperate groups different from data disk group
Does the above is still valild if i am having one lun presented to the system as my system admin reasoning is since the lun is protected by raid5 what good it does having them sitting on differnet lun.There is no concept of fast disk ,slow disk .Is the suggestion above is more related to organizing the data aka seperating data from redologs...Sorry for using the same form as i think its relevant.

About ASM and SAN...

Hello Guys,
I have to implement 3 nodes RAC 10gR2 ob centOS4 operating system. I have study so many documents about rac instaltion and configurations. I have learn how to set the network requirements with private, public and virtual IPs and all other stuff. I have learn installtion of clusterware and database with cluster enable functionality.
BUT the storage options are still not clear to me. We have purchases SAN and we are planning to implement ASM for the storage. Now i want to know:
How many disk and disk partitions 3 node structure will require on SAN?
How ASM will access SAN, or you can say OS will access this shared storage?
Voting disk and OCR can not be store on sharted storage and need to be store on raw devices... what these raw device can be? How it can be access by all nodes?
Above three questions are disturbing me a lot. If they are clear to me the whole storage concept will be clear and i can implement RAC.
Please help me by answering the above 3 questions. I will be vert greatful to you.
Regards,
Imran

How many disk and disk partitions 3 node structure will require on SAN?
There's no real answer to that! With Oracle generally, RAC or no RAC, the answer to how many disks you should have is "as many as possible". Partitioning is really up to you, too, depending on what you find easiest to manage. If you have a single SAN array, for example, comprised of 15 disks that you choose to partition into three or four logical volumes so that you can call one 'data', one 'redo', one 'OS', and one 'other' -that's entirely up to you, since Oracle could care less how you partition, what you call them or how many of them there are. Moreover, everything on every partition is being striped across those 15 disks anyway, so who cares?
I think, however, you might be thinking of the RAC-specific issues of the voting disk and the Oracle Cluster Registry. If you were using a cluster file system, they could be just two files on the file system, about 120M in size between them. Since you are going to use ASM and these two elements can't be stored inside an ASM array, you'll have to create two raw partitions for this purpose. The rest you then chop up for ASM's use.
It is NOT true, incidentally, that "Voting disk and OCR can not be store on sharted storage". By definition, the voting disk and OCR must be on shared storage! Indeed, raw partitions, ASM arrays and cluster file systems are ALL shared storage technologies. It just so happens that those two files can't use ASM... but raw or cfs are fine.
A raw partition is not, of course, intrinsically 'shared storage'... but if it's a raw partition on your SAN, to which all three of your nodes are physically attached, then it is shareable. It's shareable simply because three nodes can see it. And because there's no file system there with exclusive and blocking file locks, what one node does to a raw partition doesn't stop another node accessing it simultaneously (which is the definition of shared storage, of course).
How will ASM access SAN? By you partitioning the SAN into a number of logical volumes, each one of which will be kept raw, and you then declaring each such volume as a candidate disk. You'll wrap all candidate disks up into an ASM disk group... and then Oracle will write to that disk group and hence through to the underlying logical volumes. Which comes back to the original question: how many logical volumes should you create out of, say, a 15 disk LUN on a SAN?
Depends, as I said, on a lot of things, but for example RAID5 runs best when there are either 5 or 9 disks in the array (or did when last I looked at an EMC Clariion SAN!). So if your underlying RAID technology was going to be RAID5, you might well create 3 5-disk logical volumes on the one LUN. To let ASM use all 15 disks, you'd then create a 3-disk diskgroup (where 1 ASM disk = 1 SAN logical volume). On the other hand, you might want to keep some disks back for future storage, in which case a 1-disk ASM diskgroup representing a single 9-disk logical volume might be the go, with the remaining 6 disks on the LUN available for future expansion.
It's a complicated topic, unfortunately. You're dealing with physical storage which is already abstracted into logical volumes and then abstracted even further by wrapping those logical volumes up into ASM disk groups. You balance performance, expandability, management convenience, your SAN vendor's optimisation tricks and so on... and hopefully come out with something that works for you!

Difference between asm and san

Dear all Guru's,
I have a question what is difference between san and asm because san also provide mirroring like asm,why we shuld go for asm.

but i want to know if i don't use asm or use asm storage layer for oracle dbf file?.what is the benefit of using asm storage because some of organization don't use asm storage.There are two basic types of storage for Oracle databases.
"Cooked" file system. This means the disk is formatted and managed via a specific file system driver. On Windows, that would be ntfs. On Linux, that typically would be something like ext3.
This file system is managed by the file system driver loaded into the kernel. It does directory and file management, service I/O calls to read and write files, provides caching, and so on.
ASM does not support cooked file system as it already has a driver that manages that formatted file system drive/partition.
Raw disks is the second storage type. This means it is unformatted - and as such, you cannot (via standard o/s commands) use the drive to create/update/delete/etc directories and files.
ASM supports managing such raw (non-cooked) devices. As these devices are directly used by the database, the database can better control and managed device access.
Simple example. The database writes 10 8KB database blocks to a cooked file system. It has no idea whether those 10 blocks were actually written to disk.. or whether the file system driver has cached that write and all 10 blocks still sit in memory. The database itself also has a cache. So there are now 2 memory caches.. a physical database I/O may actually be a logical file system I/O.. These factors make managing and determining performance complex.
A raw non-cooked device does not have such a secondary cooked file system cache. If the database does a physical write to disk, the data is actually written to disk. There is a single memory cache that is managed by the database. Less complexity and less ambiguity. And it can also mean better performance.
Manually managing raw device is however complex. And in the past, problematic as the database directly used the raw device without providing any type of management layer for raw devices. ASM addresses that issue - and addresses it very well.
Using SAN LUNs as cooked file systems for an Oracle database does not make much sense IMO. SAN LUNs should be used as raw devices for the database - and ASM used as management layer for these devices.

ASM and IBM's SVC (SAN Volume Controller)

Has anyone used ASM on SVC?
Can anyone point me in the direction of any documentation regarding ASM and SVC.
Any assistance greatly appreciated.
Gavin Rayner

Hi,
I am also looking at recommendations for using IBM's SVC with AIX. (We are not using ASM in this instance).
Can anyone post their experiences, tips and lessons learnt using this disk architecture?
Cheers.

Placing Rac db redologs members on san disks ASM and local scasi disks

Hi
Kindly advice if should I face a performance problem case I placed db redologs members one on ASM and the 2nd on Local server scasi disk.
Thanks

As long as you would have the local disk not being into contention due to any other files being present or just being slow, you should be fine. But make sure that you do have the local disk in such a way that it's visible to the other node as well because that would be required in the case of recovery.

Hi,
There are three layout types.
THIN_THICK = 1
THICK_THIN = 2
THIN_THICK_THIN =3
change the value of layout in your Provider xml.
eg:
<Integer name="layout" value="2" /> - for wide_thin
<Integer name="layout" value="3" /> - for thin_wide_thin
Thanks,

Subnet config and switch layout for windows 2012 ISCSI server

I would like to ask about subnet design and switch layout in regards to using a Windows 2012 ISCSI solution. When you guys design subnets for ISCSI configurations do you use one subnet or multiple subnets? Also do you link the switches together when
designing your ISCSI layouts? These types of things are normally discussed in vendor deployment guides. However, I have not come across a best practices guide for deploying Server 2012 ISCSI.

I would like to ask about subnet design and switch layout in regards to using a Windows 2012 ISCSI solution. When you guys design subnets for ISCSI configurations do you use one subnet or multiple subnets? Also do you link the switches together

For iSCSI you typically create a separate subnets around physical NICs you use for iSCSI traffic (assuming they are used by iSCSI target for MPIO of course). Here are few guides on how to do that (some for Windows Server 2008 R2 but you can ignore that fact
as target itself did not change much and concepts are still the same). See:
Configure iSCSI MPIO on Windows (full)
http://blogs.technet.com/b/migreene/archive/2009/08/29/3277914.aspx
(make sure you have at leas one connection before you try to enable MPIO)
Setting up a Target and Initiator
http://www.server-log.com/blog/2011/7/26/setting-up-an-microsoft-iscsi-target-and-initiator-using-mpi.html
You need however be aware of a couple of facts...
1) MSFT does not see much future in iSCSI and is replacing it with SMB3 where it can. So if you want to use iSCSI to provide shared storage to your guest VMs you need to use shared VHDX hosted on SMB3 share, see:
Shared VHDX for guest VM Cluster
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dn265980.aspx
If you plan to use iSCSI to host CSV and VM images there you again can use SMB3 share, see:
Hyper-V over SMB
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj134187.aspx
That's both simpler to manage (you don't configure anything except teaming for NICs to enable SMB Multichannel and create a shared folder in a few clicks) and faster: MSFT iSCSI target is not cached @ server side while (OK, Hyper-V ovens VMs in a pass-thru
mode but other users typically don't do that). SQL Server is the same as Hyper-V in terms of SMB3 support, Windows clusters support SMB3 share as a witness and so on.
2) That's a single point of failure. Think about using SoFS instead of a single SMB3 share and think about clustering your target (you'll need a separate fault tolerant back end of that) to increase uptime. See:
MSFT iSCSI Target Failover Cluster
http://techontip.wordpress.com/2011/05/03/microsoft-iscsi-target-cluster-building-walkthrough/
Good luck! :)

RAC with ASM and without ASM

Hi all,
we planing to install RAC 11g instance active/active . and we are using SAN storage RAID 10.
I know ASM is nice feature . but it need more maintenance in future . This is what I see
it from Manual and training . for patching ..... because it maintain as instance.
why I do need ASM since I have SAN and I can control mirroring ...etc
I need sold answer here ?? why I need to use this feature that already can be covered using another facility like SAN.
Best Regards,

What I have found in a RAC world is there is maintenance no matter which way you go, A cluster file system will require upgrades, patches, etc. RAW volumes will require extra effort in allocation, etc. as well as increase the number of files in the database. ASM requires additional instance on each node to maintain which is quite simple and rolling patches in ASM is becoming reality slowly. I have found that removing the management of RAW volumes is more trouble then the maintenance of the ASM instances and the added benefits of ASM outweigh the maintenance for sure. I found that the cluster file system mainteance is pretty well a wash.
As for ASM being widely used, the most recent RAC clusters (last 3) I have built have all been ASM....... 1 on HPUX and 2 on Linux (Red Hat and Oracle Enterprise Linux) and future clusters coming up that I know of are all going to be ASM as well. While it may be true that a lot of existing RAC environments have not yet gone to ASM almost all new RAC environments are. It is certainly taking hold. If you look at the effort on a large database to move to ASM from RAW volumes or cluster file system it can appear to be a lot of work and that is true, but in the long run my experience with ASM has been positive therefore I would not hesitate to recommend new RAC clusters be built with ASM and existing clusters should have a migration plan in place. As with some cluster file systems like veritas, GPFS, etc. There is addtional cost involved where ASM does not have the additional cost so moving existing clusters can save $$........ RAM volumne management may not fall on the DBA but someone has to manage all those volumnes at a SAN level and that is additional management just may not really be with the DBA.
Just my additional 2 cents worth.
Hope this helps.

ASM and file system combination

Hi everyone -
OK, this may sound a bit crazy, but it's the situation I'm facing and I really need your help and opinion before I do something stupid.
I am using ASM on a SAN to manage my DATA tablespace (contains all the user data, including BLOBs). The ASM takes up all the disk space on the SAN except for what's left over from the disks allocated for the SAN OS. Basically, I have 941GB free space on the disks allocated the the SAN OS. Now, I need more space for my DATA tablespace, but can't afford to buy more disks at the moment (spent all my money on this SAN). I want to use the 941GB of unused disk space from the SAN OS disks for my DATA tablespace. But these disks are obviously not using ASM, and my current DATA tablespace is completely inside ASM.
So the 6 million dollar question is . . . Can I add a "filesystem" datafile to an existing ASM tablespace? For example:
Tablespace DATA is currently managed by ASM. Can I do
SQL> alter tablespace DATA add datafile '/ora1/oradata/orcl/DATA_FS_01.DBF' size 1024M;
So essentially I'll have part of the tablespace managed by ASM and another part residing on a traditional file system datafile.
What do you think? Is this possible? Advisable? The worst thing I could do? Ok to do?
Thanks in advance
a

OK, I see that in the documentation this time. I'll try that for tonights backup and let you know how it works. I'm a bit concerned still because it looks like it wrote fine to the +ASMDG2 location. I would have thought the whole backup would fail but I guess it was able to read the first path...

[root@rac2 grid]#
As we see the output above, at the end of the output
1) Start of resource ora.asm -init failed
2) Failed to start ASM
3) Failed to start Oracle Clusterware stack
The runInstaller is in the first VM rac1. My question is:
Do any folk understand how to solve the script root.sh in rac2 problem ( 3 fails of ora.asm, ASM and Clusterware stack as above) ?
Thanks.

Please check there is no firewall exist:
try this like:
root.sh fails on second node
MOS note:
11gR2 Grid: root.sh Fails to Start the Clusterware on the Second Node Due to Firewall on Private Network [ID 981357.1]
Grid Infrastructure 11.2.0.2 Installation or Upgrade may fail due to Multicasting Requirement [ID 1212703.1] (Most probabily this issue)

HT203477 My FCP 10.1 is freezing at "Restore window layout" I am running on mavericks and the layout folder in not in applications support... What do I do ???

My FCP 10.1 is freezing at "Restore window layout" I am running on mavericks and the layout folder in not in library/applications support/ final cut pro... What do I do ???

Had the same issues. For me, I found unmounting any external drives and relaunching FCPX worked.
Mavericks seems to have some issues with launching Final Cut, so its best to launch and then plug in any external drives - hope that helps.

Problem uploading web content (Templates) developed in DW CS6 and Liquid layouts

Hi
I have developed some templates in Dreamweaver CS6 and Liquid Layouts
However when I want to preview them in a browser, they come out blank (No Data at all)
I have tried this without Liquid and works fine, minor bugs that can be fixed like background image not visible
It seems the problem its at the BC system
Will appreciate help on this matter
Thanks

Functionality for Select and Save layout in a report output

Hi,
I had developed a report program containing several fields in the output and requires the Functionality for Select layout and Save layout in a report output.
Please suggest.
Thanks,
Shariq.

While calling the FM for List Display ( "REUSE_ALV_LIST_DISPLAY" or "REUSE_ALV_GRID_DISPLAY" ) set the Parameter I_SAVE for Setting the Layout and Selecting a different Layouts.
The possible values for I_SAVE are "A", "U", "X" or others. Depending on the requiement you can set different values for the Parameter I_SAVE.
' ' = display variants cannot be saved
Defined display variants (e.g. delivered display variants) can be selected for presentation independently of this flag.
Changes can not be saved.
'X' = standard save
Display variants can be saved as standard display variants.
User-specific saving is not possible.
'U' = only user-specific saving
The user can only save display variants user-specifically
'A' = standard and user-specific saving
The user can save a display variant user-specifically and
as standard display variant. The user chooses in the display variant
save popup.
Reward points if helpful.

Drag and Drop Layout feature for regions

Wondering if there is a drag and drop layout feature for regions in 3.1.2 (or below that I might have missed) or if there are plans for it in future releases. I know that this feature is available for items in a region but interested for the many regions I have on a page. I think it would be a nice feature to have instead of having to go into a page template to get the layout I want.
Thoughts?
Thanks,
Russ
