ASM COMPLETE REMOVAL

Hi Gurus,
This is my first attempt in RAC installation. I have finished CRS and Oracle Software installations successfully in both nodes. Now I am configuring ASM before database creation.
I use DBCA for ASM creation. Unfortunately, this is an unsuccessful attempt of ASM creation. So I need to configure again. BUT I DO NOT KNOW HOW TO MAKE A COMPLETE REMOVAL OF THE ASM FILES AND ENTRIES before making a re-install.
I removed the ASM pfile & others from ~/dbs/ and ~/db_1/admin locations. I used ps -ef|grep asm to remove the asm processes, I removed oratab entry of ASM but still when configuring again, Oracle detects the old instance and asks if it should recreate it. If given yes and make some asm entries, then a new little window goes on running saying that "ASM Disk Group Creation...." It is running for 2 hours now.
I like to remove the old ASM completely and make a really fresh install.
Please guide me Gurus...
For information, the Oracle version is 10.2.0.1 and platform is OEL5.
Vimal.

Hi onedbguru,
I am glad that you replied my question. Currently, my situation is that I have completely removed this nasty incomplete ASM. But I could never make a complete RAC ASM install in these two days. My current problem is that:
All raw disks detected for the diskgroup. Both available nodes are detected by dbca. But this dirty dbca window keeps on running for 3 hours saying that "Asm Disk Group Creation....". But, so far no completion. In fact I am getting same thing in my last 3 or 4 attempts. If it says some errors I will be at least happy and satisfied and move on ahead recovering the error. But this says nothing and keeps on running. What could be the culprit behind it.?
This is a test environment and not 10g mandatory. But still, I want to complete it anyway.
Now I have given up my mind 99% and thinking to create a rac-ASM manually. But I don't know how to do it. I need to google it or let me know if you have any link for doing this.
-Vimal.

  • Complete Removal of Stream Configuration in 9.2

    Could any one send me the script for complete removal of streams configuration in oracle 9i database. I faces a lot of error while creating stream configuration.

    Hi,
    Agree with Willard Martin. If you want to a DAG member, you need to remove database copies first, then you can remove the Mailbox Server from the DAG.
    Here is a related article for your reference. Even though this article is for Exchange 2013, it also applies to Exchange 2010.

  • How to completely remove mac os and install windows 7 on macbook pro with retina display 15 inch

    how to completely remove mac os and install windows 7 on macbook pro with retina display 15 inch

    There's not much sense in purchasing a Mac to run only Windows on it.  Keep in mind that drivers for Windows are a secondary concern for Apple.  While Windows will typicall run fine, things like power managment are not optimized under Windows (you'll get less time on battery while running Windows).  You will also not be able to install firmware updates.  Firmware updates might be necessary whether you run Windows or OS X as they are updates to the code in your hardware and are not OS-specific.  You must be running OS X in order to install a firmware update.  You can do this even if you boot off of an external drive with OS X installed on it.  At the very least, you should keep just a small partition for OS X on your internal drive. 

  • How do i completely remove headers from email messages

    Hi everyone. Can someone tell me how to completely remove the headers from showing up in messages i send, forward or receive? I know how to make the headers shorter, but that's not what i want to do. I want to completely remove them from all outgoing and incoming messages. Thanks!

    Hi lpagillo.
    Not sure what you mean. You cannot remove the headers from the messages themselves. If what you want is them to not show up so that they don’t take up space on the screen, choose None in Preferences > Viewing > Show header detail.

  • How to completely remove safari and all its files?

    I have Windows Vista and I need to COMPLETELY remove Safari and ALL its files. It is important that it is completely removed, and I've already tried simply uninstalling (from "uninstall a program" in the control panel)it but it doesn't get rid of EVERYTHING safari. I think some of the files are damaged or something because Safari won't open. How would I do this?

  • How to completely remove McAfee

    How can I completely remove an old non-functional McAfee virus protection app from my MacBook Pro?  It seems that a ghost of it still appears at the top of the screen on the upper menu bar. I'm thinking that there may be other (hidden) components that could safely be removed too.

    There should be an uninstaller in the Applications folder. However, if McAfee was removed improperly, by simply putting all the McAfee apps in the trash, then it may be gone. In that case, you have two options:
    First, log in as an admin user (if you aren't already using an admin user account) and try executing the following command in the Terminal:
    /usr/local/McAfee/uninstallMSC
    There is a hidden Unix shell script there that will uninstall components of McAfee. When it runs, it will ask you for your account password. When you type it, nothing will appear in the window... that is normal, just type it anyway and press return.
    If the Terminal complains with an error message saying "No such file or directory" that means this script is no longer present. In this case, you will need to try reinstalling McAfee, then remove it using the newly-installed uninstaller, found in the Applications folder.

  • Complete removal of iTunes and QuickTime

    If I completely remove iTunes and QuickTime, will all the songs from my music library in iTunes be deleted too? Will they be there when I install iTunes again?
      Windows XP Pro  

    Hi Mihail,
    When you delete your installation files (like through Add or Remove Programs in Control Panel, or if you use the Windows Installer CleanUp Utility), your song files should be saved.
    As long as you don't delete the folder called "iTunes Music" (which is inside another folder above that, called "iTunes"), then your songs will be fine.
    By default, I believe iTunes saves its library in your My Documents/My Music folder, although it may be stored elsewhere. You can always go to the "Start" menu on your computer, and chose "Search" to search for your "itunes music" folder.
    Regardless, the installation files/folders are separate from your iTunes library files, so they should be safe.

  • Complete removal of some management packs? (not disable, but removal)

    Hi all,
    We are using Oracle Standard Edition 10g database.
    As far as I know there are some options that don't belong in Standard Edition without proper licenses such as:
    *Application Server Configuration and Diagnostics Pack
    *Database Configuration
    *Diagnostics and Tuning pack
    Can you please point me to an document where it is described how these can be completely removed (not just disabled from EM Database Control -> Setup - Management packs) - thus removing all v$iews and pl/sql packages, etc...
    Appreciate your help in advance!

    Maybe there's a way to do this with Oracle Universal Installer (OUI) runInstaller. We ran into the same issue with completely removing plugins and this command satisfied our needs.
    I have not tried this yet personally.

  • Updated 05 to 06 - how do i completely remove ilife 05?

    have installed ilife 06 - but ilife still remains in my home> applications folder - how can i completely remove ilife 05?
    or has it overwritten the previous ilife05 folders?
    Ilife06 is in Mac hdd> applications folder.

    Steve:
    Not sure what you mean by iLife is in your Applications folder. When installed you should have the various iLife applications, iPhoto, iMovie, iWeb, etc., in the Applications folder. When you install the next version it replaces those applications with the new versions. There should be no iLife folder in the Applications folder. Did you create such a folder and put those applications in there? If so then the iLife 06 may have just installed it's applications in the Application folder where they should be and left that iLife folder that you created alone. If that's what you did, drag that iLife 05 folder to the Trash. But make sure you have the V6 applications in the Applications folder. They should not be placed in a subfolder. Doing that will not let the updaters find them and update.
    Do you Twango?
    TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
    I've written an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.
