Asm disk  permission

Hi ,
I have created a virtual machine of around 50gb and on that i have added 4 harddisk of around 3gb after that i have mount those disk and created folders accordingly i have installed OLE 5.5 and oracle 10g relaease 2 above things i have done for ASM for asm configuration . now the above are copy and paste from virtual machine
I have added 4 machines mount them created folders on them naming asm1,asm2,asm3,asm4 and created raw devices in them with the help of dd command of 3 gb files each .....after that i relate them losteup devices and raw devices and later on as chage the owner and permissions related to oracle .......... at the time the owner changed to oracle so i created my asm instance with one diskgroup and normal redundancy ......but when i reboot my machine started the following asm instance I got the following error .........
ASM Cache 25165824 bytes
ORA-15032: not all alterations performed
ORA-15063: ASM discovered an insufficient number of disks for diskgroup "DATA"
later on i came to know that it is not able to getthe disk which i created and the cause is the owner has become root so that 's the major cause i was not able to get my diskgroup so i changed the owner and permssions granted to oracle and at that time it has changed but when reboot of machine makes it root user so iam not able to configure it becasue when surfing these are the commands
chown oracle:dba /dev/raw/raw1
# chown oracle:dba /dev/raw/raw2
# chown oracle:dba /dev/raw/raw3
# chown oracle:dba /dev/raw/raw4
# chmod 660 /dev/raw/raw1
# chmod 660 /dev/raw/raw2
# chmod 660 /dev/raw/raw3
# chmod 660 /dev/raw/raw4
but after reboot owner becomes root and coz of this iam not able to access my diskgroup iam pasting output of certain things

Using raw and block devices in 11g is not supported
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E11882_01/install.112/e17212/whatsnew.htm#BGGEJJHE
So if this Prod /dev/test of business database dont use it
you can install the asmlib and use oracleasm utility to create asm disks
oracleasm createdisk DISK1 /dev/sdb1
then create diskgroup to use DISK1

    We ran an strace on the createdisk command that is failing and I noticed this in the output file:

    28830 write(2, "oracleasm-instantiate-disk: ", 28) = 28
    28830 write(2, "Unable to create ASM disk \"ASMDI"..., 56) = 56
    We changed /dev/oracleasm/disks to 777 in order to test but we got the same result. Do we need to adjust the permissions to all of the parent directories in the path (/dev/oracleasm/disks)? I've been looking around for anything related to permissions on /dev/oracleasm but the docs don't mention anything. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    From what I understand, you should not set device permissions of /dev/oracleasm since oracleasm takes care of it according to /etc/init.d/oracleasm configure.
    The problem in your case seems to be that ASM refuses to initialize and write metadata to your device. Was the device previously used by ASM? ASM will fail to initialize a device that contains previous ASM metadata. To erase the device you will need to use the dd command, e.g. dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sdb. Both ASMLib and raw devices require the candidate disks to be partitioned before they can be accessed. To create a partition on /dev/sdb, for instance, type fdisk /dev/sdb and create a standard partition using the defaults. This will create /dev/sdb1 and you can try oracleasm createdisk again.
    You may try the above, but anyway, I was not sure how much you can trust your installation. The problem could also be that you installed the oracleasm kernel driver and asmlib software for OEL 5. Oracle Linux 6 includes an oracleasm kernel driver and as far as I remember you must not install another oracleasm kernel driver. Using modprob oracleasm and installing oracleasm support package using yum should do the trick. You may also need to download and install the asmlib package for the Oracle ASM grid install to see the ASM disks.

    *** Of course there are other LUNs not going to be part of ASM disk groups so it cannot read all of them initially.
    Somehow after first looking at the disks and seeing them the first time the permissions are changed back on the disks over to root:root as soon as the GUI sees the disks.
    You select the disks that you want in the GUI ( but the permissions have been changed already ) so click Next and wham INS 30508 ...
    The Install log shows that kfod is apparently scanning the disks a bunch of time ... but before the error appears install log sees that permissions have changed.
    Somehow actions caused from running the GUI are changing the permissions? Something is wrong somewhere ... powerpath ? 11.2.0.3 on this kernel version ? Seems very bizarre ...

    Yeah I know probably going to have to open an SR here but some of you guys around here are pretty sharp. Can I attach the whole install log here somehow?

    Well I am not exactly opposed to udev rules for the powerpath devices ... not that I know what that is exactly ... if this can fix my problem.
    I found an example or two from google ...
    It looks like on my OL 6.2 system there is a difference in the files ( rules I guess ) under /etc/udev/rules.d

    My guess is that you did not run fdisk and partition off the first 1M and ASM overwrote the VTOC rendering the device useless.
    fdisk
    create new partition
    primary partition 1
    start 2 end <last cylinder>
    Then point your disk string to these partitions (<diskname>p1?)
    Once this is done, I ALWAYS test to make sure the oracle AND grid user can read and write to this device from ALL nodes. I use the dd command to do this.
    DO NOT DO THIS ON AN ALREADY CONFIGURED AND FUNCTIONING ASM DEVICE. Doing so will erase the device.
    make a file in $HOME that contains one line:
    cat <<EOF >> $HOME/x.x
    this is a test
    EOF
    node1
    dd if=$HOME/x.x of=<disk???p1> bs=20 count=1
    node2
    dd if=<disk???p1> of=$HOME/y.y bs=20 count=1 ##y.y should be the contents of node1:x.x
    node1
    dd if=/dev/zero of=<disk???p1> bs=8192 count=1000 ## erase the device for ASM usage.
    Fix any read/write issues before proceeding.

  • How to add ASM Disk to Disk Group that is shown as MEMBER?

    HI,
    We have a Production Oracle RAC on HP-UX. We have Two Disk Groups one for Arcive (ARC_DISK) and other for Database(DATA_DISK).
    Today I wanted to add another 200 GB of Disk Space to the DATA_DISK Group.
    I opened DBCA and could not find the new disk in the 'Show Candidates' option. But after the Unix admin changed the ownership and permission of the Disk, it was shown in 'Show Candidates' option. I selected this Disk and continued but got an error later as we didnt change the ownership and permission from the 2nd Unix server. After doing this, , when I open DBCA to add disk, nothing is shown in 'Show Candidates' option but when we click on 'Show All', the new disk is listed as MEMBER (header status) but not allocated to any Disk Group.
    I would like to know how to allocate this Disk (which is already shown as MEMBER) to the DATA_DISK - ASM diskgroup. This is a production database system.
    Rgds,
    Thiru

    Hi,
    Due to huge difference in Disk Size which I am trying to add to the existing Disk Group which has 1024 GB of Disk, would it be a better idea to create a new Disk Group with 200g GB Disk? Will this command work as the header_status is already MEMBER?
    SQL>CREATE DISKGROUP DATA_DISK1
    EXTERNAL REDUNDANCY
    DISK 'disk path';
    Thanks.Yes, you can create new diskgroup (DATA_DISK1). Just make sure all datafile in DATA_DISK autoextend off, then create all your new datafile to the new diskgroup DATA_DISK1. The command will not work as the header_status is MEMBER. You'll receive ORA-15018 & ORA-15033 error. As I mentioned before, you need to use FORCE option or format the disk using dd* command before perform above command.
    1st Option : (Format the raw disk using dd command creating new diskgroup. Header_status MEMBER -> CANDIDATE). E.g.
    1. dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/rdsk/c2t1d0 bs=8192 count=1000 //any rac nodes
    2. # chown oracle:oinstall /dev/rdsk/c2t1d0 //perform on both node. This apply if using LVM or direct access to raw
    3. SQL> create diskgroup data_disk1 external redundancy disk '/dev/rdsk/c2t1d0'; //any RAC node in ASM instance
    4. SQL> alter diskgroup data_disk1 mount; //try to mount on the other node
    2nd Option : (Using FORCE option when creating the new diskgroup. Header_Status = MEMBER)
    1. # chown oracle:oinstall /dev/rdsk/c2t1d0 //perform on both node. This apply if using LVM or direct access to raw
    2. SQL> create diskgroup data_disk1 external redundancy disk '/dev/rdsk/c2t1d0' force; //any RAC node in ASM instance
    3. SQL> alter diskgroup data_disk1 mount; //try to mount on the other node
    Just be careful when using FORCE option or DD command. If you perform this operation on existing ASM disk groups disk, it may destroy existing disk groups.

  • Asm disk removed taking too much time to boot

    hi
    a local machine is configured with ASM by oracleasm with a total disk.As it was a training purpose so i have removed the disk eg /dev/sdb bluntly ie. just removing it from box.now i tried fsck -c -c -f /dev/ in rescue mode its didnot worked even not mounting the /mnt/sysimage.It claims for ext2fs error and mounting the fs etc.
    Then after lots of days has gone.i fed up with this issues and reinstalled OS.
    but my question is what exactly to do?obviously re-installation is not the exact way to do.
    regards

    If the +/dev/sdb+ was an ASM disk, then it should not impact the o/s when it is removed. ASM instance itself will fail with an error saying something like it was not able to mount the disk group.
    If your system failed to boot correctly after this disk was removed, then +/dev/sdb+ contained more than just ASM data.
    We dynamically add and remove ASM (multipath'ed) disks via kpartx - while o/s is running. No reboot. No problems.
    I fail to see how a ASM disk could cause the type of problems you describe - unless it was more than just a disk used by ASM alone.

  • Questions on asm disk discovery:

    Questions on asm disk discovery:
    1)What is the relationship btween asm_diskstring in the init.ora and DiscoveryString in the GPNP profile.xml?
    2)  Which one of the above two finally accounts for the disk discovery process?
    3)  We know that asmlib disks are self describing at the disk header. This overcomes the disk name/path persistency issue as we no long need to rely on the path to discover the asm disks, by setting asm_diskstring='ORCL:*' , ASM instance will identify the right disks automatically. However, I am not sure if setting asm_diskstring='ORCL:*' is the most economic way to do the discovery as I am not sure if Oracle will have to probe all the disks on the OS to determine the right disks. If Oracle has to screen all the disks in this way, then I think setting asm_diskstring='<path_to_asmlib_disk>' will be much faster, although this will be open to the persistent problem. Is my understanding correct?
    Thanks.

    From my understanding all disk you see in /dev/oracleasm/disks are the disks in your system that been discovered by asmlib at discovery stage.
    Currently, due to bug 13465545, ASM instance will discover disks from both locations, ASM_DISKSTRING and gpnp profile, which can cause some mess in disk representation for asm. You can check the settings using asmcmd command: dsget, and set to be the same using dsset.
    I think its more secure to set ASM_DISKSTRING to only the disks used by asm instance.
    ASMCMD> dsget

    Now I can go into dbca to create the ASM instance, which starts up fine...  create a new diskgroup, I see ORCL1 as a provision ASM disk I select it ...  Click OK
    CRASH!!!  Box hangs have to reboot it....
    I have gotten myself to exactly the same point right before clicking OK and here is what is in the ASM alertlog so far

    At this point I don't want to click the OK until I am sure someone is in the office to reboot the machine manually if I do hang it again....  I hung it twice yesterday, however I did not have the devices excluded in the oracleasm configuration file as i do now
    Edited by: user10193377 on Aug 14, 2009 3:23 PM
    Well Clicking OK hun it again and I am waiting to get back into it, to see what new information might be gleened
    Does anyone have any ideas on what to check or where to look?????    Will update more once I can log back in

    Hi Mark,
    It looks like something is not correct with your raw device partition based on the error messages:

    It could be a number of things. I would check with your vendor and Oracle support to see if the multipath software drive is supported and if there is a potential workaround for ASM. Sorry this is not quite the solution, but its what jumps to mind based on issues with multipath software and storage vendors for ASM with Linux and Oracle. Have you checked the validation matrix available on Metalink?

  • ASM Disk preparation for Datafiles and FRA in Oracle 10g RAC Inst

    Dear Friends,
    Please clarify wheteher the below method is correct to confiure ASM disks for Datafiles and FRA
    Partitions provided by IT team for OCR and Voting Disk
    /dev/sda1 - 150 GB (For +DATA)
    /dev/sda2 - 100 GB (For +FRA)
    OS     : RHEL 5.6 (64 Bit)
    kernel version = 2.6.18-238.el5
    Steps:(Node1)
    1) Install the RPM's for ASM
    rpm -Uvh oracleasm-support-2.1.7-1.el5.x86_64.rpm
    rpm -Uvh oracleasm-2.6.18-238.el5-2.0.5-1.el5.x86_64.rpm
    rpm -Uvh oracleasmlib-2.0.4-1.el5.x86_64.rpm
    2) Configure ASM
    /etc/init.d/oracleasm configure
    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
    Scan for Oracle ASM disks on boot (y/n) [y]:
    Writing Oracle ASM library driver configuration: done
    Initializing the Oracle ASMLib driver: [  OK  ]
    Scanning the system for Oracle ASMLib disks: [  OK  ]
    3) Cretae ASM Disk
    /etc/init.d/oracleasm createdisk DISK1 /dev/sda1
    /etc/init.d/oracleasm createdisk DISK2 /dev/sda2
    4)/etc/init.d/oracleasm status
    5)/etc/init.d/oracleasm scandisks
    6)/etc/init.d/oracleasm listdisks
    7) Nothing to perform on Node2
    8) In dbca choose ASM and map the DISK1 for datafiles and DISK2 for FRA
    Please confirm the above steps are right?if not please clarify
    If DBCA ->ASM doesn't discover my disk then what should be the Discovery path i have to give?
    Please refer any document / Metalink ID for the above complete process
    Can i have ASM and oracle DB binary in the same home

    Looks like you are asking ASM to use plain files. Have you used the Device Loopback (losetup) a d made the emulate raw devices?

  • Creation of ASM disk for OUI

    I need to install a Oracle Database in order to install Enterprise Manager Cloud Control 12c.
    Need the database to use a ASM disk.
    I used the following command to create the disk, per the Oracle Database Installation Guide.
    #/usr/sbin/oracleasm createdisk DISK1 /dev/sdd1
    #oracleasm listdisks
    DISK1
    However, when running the OUI for Oracle Database 12c (understand 11.2.0.3 is certified for Cloud Control), step 7
    errors INS-30517 when attempting to select "Oracle Automatic Storage Management" for "Storage type".
    Researched the error at this location but no cause or action was provided.
    http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E16655_01/server.121/e26079/common_errormessages.htm
    INS-30517: Automatic Storage Management software is not configured on this system.
    The database install guide states that I need to ensure the "disk discovery string" is set the "ORCL:*" or is left empy ("") so the installer discovers these disks.
    It doesn't show how to confirm or change the settings.
    At this point I'm at a stopping point.

    All ASMLib installations require the oracleasmlib and oracleasm-support packages. The oracleasm kernel driver is included in the Oracle UEK kernel. Perhaps you are missing the oracleasmlib package. You can download it from:
    Oracle Linux: Oracle ASMLib | Oracle Technology Network
    Oracleasmlib is not necessary for ASM to work, but it contains software necessary for Linux oracleasm, including the /usr/sbin/oracleasm-discover utility, which the Oracle installer used in the previous 11g version to detect available ASM volumes.
