ASM installation

Dear all,
Please advice.
I am trying to configure ASM in my virtual machine details are as follows:
Linux red.march.com 2.6.18-53.el5 #1 SMP Wed Oct 10 16:34:02 EDT 2007 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux
i tried a lot to install oracleasm but its failing error as shown below:
[root@red ~]# oracleasm init
Loading module "oracleasm": failed
Unable to load module "oracleasm"
[root@red ~]# /etc/init.d/oracleasm createdisk VOL1 /dev/sdb1
Marking disk "VOL1" as an ASM disk: [FAILED]
please help
if possible please share the link from where i may download the correct asmlib.

Switching from one ASM installation to another ASM installation

Hi,
We've a server Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server release 5.3 (Tikanga) with installed two 11.1.0.7.0 installation: one for ASM and the other for rdmbs.
Now, we want to install the 11.1.0.7.4 PSU.
For reducing downtime we'd like to create two new 11.1.0.7.0 installation; then patching them with the 11.1.0.7.4 PSU.
Then we'd like to stop ASM and all database running and switching the two old installation with the new one.
For the rdbms installation it's easy: just to modify the oratab and then starting the databases with the new patched installation and then follow the post installation steps (atbundle.sql, etc.)
For ASM instead, how can I do it ? How can I reconfigure the ocssd for using the new ASM installation ? And do I need to do some other steps ?
Thanks

Hi,
Probably my post was not clear enough. Sorry.
Here our scenario:
- we have one linux server with two Oracle11g installations. We use one installation for ASM and the other one for the rdbms. We planned to install the PSU 4 on both the installations.
We could simply shutdown all databases and ASM. Then install PSU4 on both ASM and rdmbs installation. Then startup AMS and databases and proceed with post PSU installation tasks.
There is another possibility. To install in advance two new Oracle11g: one for ASM and the other one for the rdbms. Then apply PSU4 on these two new Oracle11g installations. Then shutdown the databases and the ASM. Then execute:
$ORACLE_HOME/bin/localconfig reset <new_ASM_oracle_home>
stop cssd (/etc/init.d/init.cssd stop)
start cssd (/etc/init.d/init.cssd start)
Then change in /etc/oratab so that databases will point to the new installation (the new one installed for rdbms)
Then copy spfile and password files to the new oracle_home/dbs (the new one installed for rdbms)
Then change in /etc/oratab so that ASM is using the new installation (the new one installed forASM)
Then copy spfile and password file to the new oracle_home/dbs used by ASM (the new one installed forASM)
Finally restart ASM and databases
This way, the ASM will point to the new installation - and the databases will use the other new installation. This way the downtime will be shorter. It will be only necessary to apply the post PSU installation tasks
I've already did it last weekend. It worked

AbbasiHi Abbasi,
It would be better if let me know version of Linux, how you plan to use the disk (direct or UDEV), RAC or Single instance.
Anyway, I'll assume you've using OEL/RHEL 5, UDEV for Single Instance (Oracle 10g installed) and only one disk (/dev/asm_disk1) configured for testing purpose.
Creating ASM instance on Linux (Single Instance) using DBCA
1. Add disk to Linux server
2. Configure UDEV for the device. E.g /dev/sdb -> /dev/asm_disk1 //check Oracle documentation for configure UDEV on RHEL/OEL 5. You can directly use /dev/sdc for testing purpose.
3. Change the owner of the disk. e.g. chown oracle:oinstall /dev/asm_disk1
4. As root user, run Oracle CSS script. The Cluster Synchronization Services (CSS) daemon provides cluster services for ASM, communication between the ASM and database instances, and other essential services
# $ORACLE_HOME/bin/localconfig add
5. As oracle user, run DBCA (X11 needed)
$ dbca
6. Select the "Configure Automatic Storage Management" option, then click the "Next" Button.
7. Enter a password for the ASM instance, then click the "Next" button.
8. On the confirmation screen, click the "OK" button to create the ASM instance
9. Once the ASM instance is created, you are presented with the "ASM Disk Groups" screen. Click the "Create New" button.
10. On the "Create Disk Group" screen, enter Disk Group Name of e.g. "DATA" and select the required level of redundancy.
•     External - ASM does not mirror the files. This option should only be used if your disks are already protected by some form of redundancy, like RAID.
•     Normal - ASM performs two-way mirroring of all files.
•     High - ASM performs three-way mirroring of all files.
11. If you didn't find any disk, click "Change Disk Discovery Path..." and enter "/dev/asm_disk1"
12. Select "External" for redundancy, tick the disk (/dev/asm_disk1) and click "OK" button.
13. On the "ASM Disk Groups" screen. Click the "Finish" button.
To access the ASM instance :
1. As oracle user, export the ORACLE_SID
$ export ORACLE_SID=+ASM
2. sqlplus "/as sysdba"
3. SQL> select name, total_mb, free_mb from v$asm_diskgroup;
SQL> select name, path, header_status from v$asm_disk;
To access the ASM command line utility:
1. As oracle user, export the ORACLE_SID
$ export ORACLE_SID=+ASM
2. Enter the asmcmd command
$ asmcmd

ASM installation on RHEL 6.4 in Amazon EC2

I thought I'd perform an installation of 12cR1 to do a little testing. So I launched a new instance in Amazon EC2 and picked an AMI for 64-bit RHEL 6.4.
All started smoothly, but I've got stuck preparing a disk for ASM.
My first plan was to install ASMLIB. I see from the documentation that I need kmod-oracleasm (kmod-oracleasm-2.0.6.rh1-2.el6.x86_64.rpm), and that this is in the RHEL supplementary channel.
$ yum repolist all

Does Amazon EC2 provide the RHEL supplementary channel, and if so what credentials do I need to provide? Otherwise I guess I would need my own RHN subscription, which seems expensive for a self-learning instance.
So my second plan was to avoid ASMLIB and implement udev rules.
I created a 64GiB volume and attached it to the instance as /dev/sdh. On the instance it appears as /dev/xvdl:
$ fdisk -l /dev/xvdl
Disk /dev/xvdl: 68.7 GB, 68719476736 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 8354 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes
Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 512 bytes
I/O size (minimum/optimal): 512 bytes / 512 bytes
Disk identifier: 0xf4c9fedb
    Device Boot      Start         End      Blocks   Id System
/dev/xvdl1               1        8354    67103473+ 83 Linux
$ sudo scsi_id -g -u -d /dev/xvdl
$
So scsi_id doesn't return a value to use in the udev rule. I've found references to this which suggest setting disk.EnableUUID. Is this option available in Amazon EC2 at all? Or is there an alternative way of getting a UUID for the disk?
Any help with these questions, or suggestions for alternative solutions, would be much appreciated.
Thanks
Mike

How to create a single instance ASM installation on Windows using 11gR1 ?

Good afternoon,
After reading much documentation and doing a lot of Googling, I have not found a step by step procedure on how to install/use ASM for a single database instance successfully. This is using Windows XP SP2, Oracle 11gR1 (I can likely adjust any procedure that is meant for Server 2003 or 2008 as long as it is does not require a 64bit installation.)
If someone knows where I can find a step by step procedure on how to do this, that actually works and, would be so kind to share it, I'd much appreciate it.
Thank you,
John.

As we have discussed on other threads, in 11.2, its not possible to do the installation of the ASM without using the Grid Infrastructure. The reason is ASM instance can be created using the ASMCA only in 11.2 which would run only from the Grid Home. So if you are willing to use ASM in 11.2, you have to go through either on 64bit windows, or 32 bit linux. Other than this, you can use 11.1 and/or 10.2 where DBCA can be used for the same.

ASM installation failure from Oracle GRID under Windows 7 64 bit

I am a rookie..I am running Oracle database 11gR2 running on a Windows 7 64 bit system.
I am implementing ASM onto my system solely for learning purposes
The implementation of ASM has changed between database releases 11gR1 and 11gR2 such that it is no longer configured locally but is now implemented from within Oracle GRID. Unfortunately, the book I am using to study my OCP from was written at the time of 11gR1 so I can no longer follow its instructions to create and configure ASM. Instead of using DBCA I now need to use ASMCA to configure ASM.
As a preliminary requirement I successfully installed Oracle Grid and configured it to run on my standalone server.
I created two partitions on my harddrive ...... drive G: and drive H: with intent of using them as my ASM disks. 45 Gig and 50 gig in size respectively formatted with the NTFS filesystem.
I ran ASMCA in an attempt to create an ASM instance
I specified these partition drives '\\.\G:' and '\\.\H:' in the disk discovery path which were successfully picked up.
However when ASMCA executed the creation process after some time it failed with the following message:
One or more diskgroup(s) creation failed as below:
DiskGroup mydisks creation failed with the following message:
ORA-15018: diskgroup cannot be created
ORA-00600: internal error code, arguments: [17090], [], [], [], [], [], [], [], [], [], [], []
Check C:\app\peter\cfgtoollogs\asmca\asmca-12101712AM0558.log for details.
Which I did and found many things

Ok. As above the ASM instance appeared to have been successfully created so as part of my investigative process to confirm what the script actually did successfully execute I attempted to log into the ASM instance to see how far it would get. It fails with the following result
C:\Windows\system32>set ORACLE_SID=+ASM

LISTENER is running ie the local listener running on port 1521 that was originally created with a previous basic stand alone installation of the Oracle 11gR2 database . (ie before I installed Oracle GRID). No other listeners are running.
Can t see any evidence of any ASM service on Windows Task manager started/stopped or otherwise. Neither can I see evidence of a CSS service.
The log file that was generated is large I am not clear on what I should be looking for in order to find clues as to how I might manually resolve this problem and possibly 'salvage' the installation. Any advice would be appreciated.

Hi,
read the documentation:

and you will find multiple errors, you probably did.
Especially the part on preparing storage.

ASM installation on AIX?

We are installing Oracle 10gR2 on a new AIX server, we want to use ASM for a single instance on this server. I am told that you need to install ASM instance first and I see some threads that elude to an option from the Orcle Installer to "install and configure ASM only" .
When I click on the "type of install", running the installer from the Disk1 ./runinstaller - I get only two options, enterprise edition or standard edition.
If I look at the "custom" install option it shows the ability to "configure for ASM" but I'm thinking that option would be used to configure an instance to USE an already up and running ASM instance.
How do I install JUST an ASM instance, or does the installer actually create the ASM instance during the custom install if one does not exist?

On the initial screen choose those options that say "Advanced" or "Software Only" or similar things: It is there.

RAC with ASM installation

Hi All,
I Want to install the RAC in windows and storage is ASM.
its possible to install the RAC 10g in windows XP?. because both of my systems are running in windows xp. kindly send your valuable output.

Hi,
Thanks for your reply,
You are consistently asking to abstract documentation
i have more than 20 documents about RAC installation. but in all the documents they mention the windows 2000, 2003 only, so i raised this question. because i am using Xp.
if RAC installation is not possible in XP means then i will install the windows 2000 to my PC. So i am very much interest to work in oracle.
i don't want to change my career, if you want to change means, kindly inform me i will arrange a good job for you.

ASM-Installation fails

Hello,
OS: Sun Solaris 10 SPARC 64bit
DB: Oracle10
Nodes: 3
Shared Storage: SAN
After installing CRS from node 2 we tried to install ASM from node 2
There we got the problem that the Database Configuration Assistant (dbca) fails with the error message:
can not start +ASM2 on node 1 !!!
can not start +ASM1 on node 2 !!!
Then we removed ASM and started the installation from node 1
-> The the same error messages raised again! :-(
WHERE is Oracle storing the information that +ASM2 has to start on node 1
and vice versa???
Please help, its urgent!
Christian

after first install there was no oratab file because we did not run root.sh script
now we got an oratab file and my college has changed the services so the right on are running on the right machines.
Now we got a new problem: :-(
Disk Groups can not be mounted: ORA-15024
discovered duplicately numbered ASM
Disk Groups can not be droped because they can not be mounted.
Any possibility to solve the problem?
I want to remove the asm software, drop disk groups and start "clean" again!
But it is not possible so it seems form me.
Could any body help?
Thanks a lot!

Oracle11gR2 DB+ASM installation

Dear All,
I have oracle 11gR2 database source (2 zip files), we need to configure ASM for storing the datafiles. But we could not able to find the screen (which we will see in 10g) for stamping the disks or asmtool for stamping the disk.
Please let us know whether we need to install Gird infrastructure for installing single instance DB with ASM ?
Thanks in Advance,

ASM Installation on Oracle 11g Clusterware (RAC) environment

Hi All,
I am trying to setup Oracle 11g Standared Edition RAC+ASM on RedHat Linux 5.0 VM ware box. As part of this RAC setup successfully completed. For this i have used raw devices and mounted using NFS.
In many of forumns i have read that ASM installtion on a cluster envioronmnet is different than non cluster environment.
I dont know how to start ASM installtion on RAC environment. Please share any documents if you have?
Thanks,
Rakesh

will the steps need to be done on two nodes of cluster or it is sufficient on first node.
"raw device" for OCR, VOTE, SPFILE_FOR ASM and ASM DISKGROUPs
before do "raw devices" you have to fdisk(make partitions) on share storages
node1:
# fdisk /dev/sdf
# ls /dev/sdf*
node2:
# ls /dev/sdf*
don't find...,so just fdisk -> l and -> w
fdisk how? http://linux.about.com/od/commands/l/blcmdl8_fdisk.htm
Example: /etc/sysconfig/rawdevices do it every nodes
#Oracle OCR File +~280M+
/dev/raw/raw1 /dev/sdf1
#Oracle Voting File +~280M+
/dev/raw/raw2 /dev/sdf2
#Oracle ASM spfile ~50M+
/dev/raw/raw3 /dev/sdf3
#Oracle ASM DISK Group1
/dev/raw/raw4 /dev/sdg1
#Oracle ASM DISK Group2
/dev/raw/raw5 /dev/sdh1
And oracle user.. can read /dev/raw/raw* You should find on every nodes
http://oraclepitstop.wordpress.com/2008/02/15/raw-devices-on-rhel-5-or-oel-5/
ls -la /dev/raw/raw*
crw-rw---- 1 root oinstall 162, 1 Jan 13 12:53 /dev/raw/raw1

crw-rw---- 1 oracle oinstall 164, 1 Jan 13 12:53 /dev/raw/raw5
do it on node1 but you have to pass phrase on every nodes Before
