ASM install onto LVM: What am I missing?

Hii all,
First, I am new to ASM. I've gone through one install, where they had raw devices set up and it was smooth.
However, I've gotten onto a box (test) where I want to set up Oracle with ASM...trouble is, there are no raw volumes or available disk space to partition out. There are only 2 partitions, one is for /boot, the other is completely given over to LVM.
Now...I can get on there and allocate some new logical volumes, and not format them (kind of an lvm raw?), or whatever. Can I aim ASM at those? Any pointers or links about doing this?
Thanks in advance,
cayenne

Hi all,
Following up on this. I created some logical volumes. I did NOT format them. I installed the ASM library drivers. But, I can't get things to work.
I tried to do the create command :
/etc/init.d/oracleasm createdisk DISK1 /dev/rootvg/oraw1
But would get errors...(sorry, that VM got blown away before I could post thing, so missing the exact error, trying to reset up now to reproduce exact error). The error was complaining that it was a proper type disk....
Is there some special trick to setting up logical volumes to be used by ASM that I'm missing?
I'm following this guide: http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/install.102/b15667/pre_install.htm#BABCAEHE
For now, we are stuck with using 10G.
Do I have to format the LV's first? I was hoping that ASM would treat these 'raw' LV's and true raw devices?
Thanks in advance,
cayenne

  • ASM install fails on one node

    I have been trying to install 10gRAC on a two virtual node cluster. I installed clusterware and it was successful. Before I started ASM install:

    It appears to me as though the installer was not able to copy over the "/u01/app/oracle/product/10.2.0/db_1" directory to the rac2 node. I do not see any reason for that, I have setup ssh user equivalence for both oracle and root users, ssh and scp seem to work both ways. Permissions should not be an issue on one node and not the other as I replicated the permissions.
    I continued the installation and ASM is working fine on rac1 node and not on the second node. I tried using the dbca to setup the ASM on the second node and it errors out with a "crs-0223 resource placement error". Here is what I did next:
    [oracle@rac1 bin]$ ./srvctl status asm -n rac1

    I would like to get the ASM instance extended to the second node (rac2) and ofcourse, continue with the database instance creation. How can I accomplish this?
    Thanks!

    Tells you that the Oracle Home could not be copied onto the remote node. The logs mentioned might tell you more, but this is the reason why ASM cannot be started on the other node - there is no software that could be used to start an ASM instance. Now you said:
    "+It appears to me as though the installer was not able to copy over the "/u01/app/oracle/product/10.2.0/db_1" directory to the rac2 node. I do not see any reason for that, I have setup ssh user equivalence for both oracle and root users, ssh and scp seem to work both ways.

    My question would be: What do you try to achieve? IF it is your only interest to "get it done and over with", then you can TAR up the Oracle Database home from which you want to run ASM and un-TAR on the remote node. Given that the paths are all correct, the registration already took place and hence, you can try starting the ASM instance on node2. IF you want to know the reason for the issue, further investigation and more information would be required.
    Hope that helps. Thanks,

    I just installed Lightroom 5. It will not open. I have clicked on the desktop icon as well as the start menu button with no results. What am I missing?

    I had the same problem, and I believe it is caused by having the Creative Cloud application doing the updating of LR.  I "fixed" the problem by:
    1. Uninstall Lightroom
    2. Download the stand-alone LR 5.6 installer from Product updates
    3. Install LR 5.6 using the stand-alone installer, instead of using the Creative Cloud application.

    Hello errod2014,
    It sounds like you are unable to see your phone in iTunes after the computer turned off unexpectedly during an iOS update. I recommend resetting the phone first, and then attempting to restore with iTunes again.
    To reset, press and hold both the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons for at least 10 seconds, until you see the Apple logo.
    From: Turn your iOS device off and on (restart) and reset
              http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430
    If you are still unable to see your phone in iTunes,  follow these steps for Mac or these for Windows.
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    Take care,
    Sterling

  • How to tell what fonts are missing in a Photosohp CS5 document?

    Hello!  I have received some work from a graphic designer.  I need to modify some of the text in the document.  When I open the document I get an error message:
    Some text layers might need to be updated before they can be used for vector based output.  Do you want to update these layers now?  [Update] [No]
    If I click [Update] it replaces the font with Myriad Pro.  If I click [No] the text looks the way the designer intended, but I have the exclamation mark-triangle symbol over the layer with the text.  If I try to edit the text I get another warning:
    Editing or rendering the text layer "Text Layer" will cause its layout to change.  Continue?  [Cancel]  [OK]
    The same behavior described above occurs.  If I click [Cancel] I obviously can't edit the text.  If I click [OK] it changes the font to Myriad Pro.
    I would like to determine what font the layer is using.  I could swear that previous versions of Photoshop would tell me what fonts were missing when I opened a document.  I can't use the text tool to select the text without it changing the font.  Other posts have mentioned using the text tool to look at the text drop-down to find a greyed-out font which indicates the missing font.  I do not have that.  I only have perhaps 200 fonts installed.  Can anyone tell me how to determine what fonts a .PSD document is using?  I would prefer not to bug the graphic designer if possible.  Thanks much!
    ~ Dan

    Not sure why you are getting ""Font is present on the system but requires a layout change.", usually you do not get that instead the name of the font shows.
    We use extensis Universal Type Client, so the fonts load automatically upon opening files, and never really get missing fonts in Photoshop.
    Actually fontbook has auto font loading if you want to give that a try. Fontbook >> Preferences

  • What causes the Missing or invalid version of SQL library PSORA (200,0)?

    What causes the Missing or invalid version of SQL library PSORA (200,0) in PeopleTools 8.51 Application Designer?

    Could be several things. Bad path, bad version, etc. give us details on your client install. What Oracle client do you have installed. App Designer is 32 bit. If you installed the 64 bit client you might get this error. What OS are you using. PeopleTools version? guessing 8.51 from your other post.

  • Hello, I have created a distribution kit for my program.The problem is that the when the program is installed onto another computer, it fails to communicate with field point (Using FP-AO-200 and FP-AO-1000). Help is greatly appreciated, Thanks faen9901

    Hi Everyone,
    I have a program that sends information(analog output) to lab windows cvi in the form of a text file or user input.
    The program runs on the computers that I have the field point explorer and lab windows cvi installed on. In order to run the program without always installing labwindows/cvi and field point; I wanted to create an executable file that could be load on another computer.
    I used the create distribution kit part of labwindows/cvi to do this.After creating the distribution kit, I then installed it
    to another computer.
    My user interface appears on the screen, when the user clicks on the exe. file, but no data is sent to the field point module. I know that the data is being read from the user and textfile because in it appears in the uir.
    The following are some details about the problem:
    1. On another computer without labwindows/cvi and field point explorer not installed - no data is sent to field point module
    I know this because a current is being read on the current meter connected to field point module.
    My questions are the following:
    1. What are the possible reasons for the data not being sent to the field point module?
    2. Do I still need to create an iak. (Installing Field point Explorer) file stored on any new computer that I install my created distribution kit file too?
    Thankyou very much for any help that you can provide. I greatly appreciate it.
    Faen9901

    1) If you do not install FieldPoint Explorer, the FieldPoint Server is not installed so there is nothing on the target computer that knows how to talk to the FieldPoint system.
    2) Yes, you need an IAK file on the target computer. Assuming the settings (i.e. com port#) are identical you can simply include the iak file as part of the distribution.
    3) You also need to include as part of your installer the file "fplwmgr.dll". If this file is not installed, your program will not be able to access the FieldPoint Server. Alternatively, this file is installed automatically if FieldPoint Explorer detects LabWindows/CVI or Measurement Studio Development versions on the target computer or if you choose to do a custom FieldPoint Explorer installation and
    choose to provide LabWindows/CVI support.
