ASM instance deletion and converting to RAC

My RAC setup is little complex, i created 2 RAC servers, after that i created 2 new RAC servers, but the shared disk is same, in old RAC i created RAC ASM, which is running fine, in new i make want to create new RAC ASM instance, but when i got to dbca ASM instance page, its seeing all the old ASM Diskgroups. I created ASM single instance , at new 403 box now i want to delete this to convert it to RAC ASM. How i should proceed, So that my old RAC ASM should not be effected,

Hi;
To create ASM instance you should have OS authentication enabled. To connect as user with SYSASM system privilege refer installation guide on how to enable OS athentication for SYSASMDid you check installation guide for this error, it refers to guide.
Also check [this site|http://neworacledba.blogspot.com/2008/05/sysasm-privilege-for-asm.html] and if its not help try [this search|http://www.google.com.tr/search?hl=tr&source=hp&q=how+to+enable+OS+athentication+for+SYSASM&meta=&aq=f&oq=]
Hope it helps

ASM instances on 2 node Oracle RAC 10g r2 on Red Hat 4 u1

Hi all
I'm experiencing a problem in configuring diskgroups under +ASM instances on a two node Oracle RAC.
I followed the official guide and also official documents from metalink site, but i'm stuck with the visibility of asm disks.
I created fake disks on nfs with Netapp certified storage binding them to block device with the usual trick "losetup /dev/loopX /nfs/disk1 " ,
run "oracleasm createdisk DISKX /dev/loopX" on one node and
"oracleasm scandisks" on the other one.
With "oracleasm listdisks" i can see the disks at OS level in both nodes , but , when i try to create and mount diskgroup in the ASM instances , on the instance on which i create the diskgroup all is well, but the other one doesn't see the disks at all, and diskgroup mount fails with :
ERROR: no PST quorum in group 1: required 2, found 0
Tue Sep 20 16:22:32 2005
NOTE: cache dismounting group 1/0x6F88595E (DG1)
NOTE: dbwr not being msg'd to dismount
ERROR: diskgroup DG1 was not mounted
any help would be appreciated
thanks a lot.

Issue At the time of Creating ASM instance through DBCA For 11g RAC db :

Hi,
I have configured two node RAC with OEL5.
I have installed below software successfully under different home locations.
1) Clusterware :

3) Database
I want to run ASM instance under separate home but when i am executing dbca from ASM home location to create asm i am facing a problem which is not traceable by me. Please help me if any body has any idea on it.
Problem:
Sometime(displayed below) ASM instance is running from node 1 and some times from node 2. At a time ASM in both instance is not in online state. At the end dbca is displaying ORA-01034: ORACLE not available. Please let me know what may be the exact reason for this.

Yes you are right , I have to make to sure stock budget doesn't get credited.
If you remember in one of my other threads, i wanted to derive commitment item from Matl grp, it was for this purpose. I will derive commitment through matl group at the time of procurement / GR etc and assign a dummy commitment item to stock a/cs. Where as i will derive a consumption commiment item from consumption GLs.
Thank you

How does 1 ASM instance in a 10 node RAC cause all 10 ASM instance to hang

Linux RHEL4
11.2.0.1.0 GI
11.2.0.1.0 RDBMS
11.1.0.7.0 RDBMS
10.2.0.4.4 RDBMS
Yesterday we had one of the ASM instance on our 10-node cluster hang with a latch "ASM file allocation latch". Oracle support has stated we are hitting a bug with is fixed in the latest PSU.
What I am trying to understand is how a latch on one ASM instance caused all 10 ASM instances to hang?
Oracle Supports explanation still does not answer how all 10 ASM instance were affected other then the faulty code that the patch fixes. Bellow is info out of the SAR.
Data Guard Site:
================
ARC1 PID 21508 reports ORA-240 'control file enqueue held for more than 120 seconds' at Thu Oct 28 11:35:54 2010. This message means ARC1 PID 21508 was holding the enqueue past the maximum tine limit of 120 seconds.
Next ARC0 PID 17398 reports ORA-16146: 'control file enqueue unavailable' at Thu Oct 28 11:36:52 2010. This means ARC0 PID 17398 tried to access the controlfile and it could get the lock.
ARC1 PID 21508 is then killed at Thu Oct 28 11:49:57 2010.
Killing enqueue blocker (pid=21508) on resource CF-00000000-00000000 by (pid=23078) by killing session 5.3
We see that RSM has been restarted by Broker. This matches to the alert.log and messages showing RSM being restarted several time. i.e. RSM0 started with pid=84, OS id=27915
Since this started happening around 11:14, the problem may have really started then instead of w/ the CF enqueue block.
The primary appears to be shipping redo to the standby using asynchronous mode. Unless there was a gap, I do no know if ARC1 should have been doing any remote network I/O. Because a log switch to thread 1 sequence 5235 had just happened at 11:33am, I suspect it was a local disk I/O that was started at least. The ORA-240 is reported at 11:35, exactly 120 sec (or 2min) from this log switch. Notice also the entry to show the log thread 1 sequence 5234 was registered to the controlfile didn't happen yet.
ASM Side:
============
From the systemstate dump on ASM, multiple processes are waiting on 'ASM file allocation latch' and we are kind of stuck on stack:
ksedsts()+461<-ksdxfstk()+32<-ksdxcb()+1782<-sspuser()+112<-0000003218E0C5B0<-kfuhInsert()+175<-kffilCreate()+601<-kfnsUFG()+3691<-kfnsBackground()+4382<-kfnDispatch()+527<-opiodr()+1149<-ttcpip()+1251<-opitsk()+1633<-opiino()+958<-opiodr()+1149<-opidrv()+570<-sou2o()+103<-opimai_real()+133<-ssthrdmain()+214<-main()+201<-__libc_start_main()+219
This caused the hang on the ASM side and hence ASM was not responding to the database. The CF Enqueue issue on the database was a side effect of this.
This is a direct <BUG:9232266> which is a duplicate of <BUG:8974548>

Thanks Murali,
I was little reluctent to open a tar since my experince says that its better to troubleshoot the issue yourself instead of spending time with the Oracle support :)
Well, I got some more information on this : the sql for the process id of ASM instance is :
Alter Diskgroup mount all;
It looks like it is unable to mount the diskgroup and get hunged at that point , is it due to the new disk added to the system or do we missed something after adding the new disk.
Also, the ASM process can not be killed from unix box while the ASM is down.
Will appreciate your time if we can move in any directions from here ..
Thanks ,
Ankur

RAC ASM instance creation

Can we configure ASM instance on all nodes in RAC at the same time?

790066 wrote:
Thanks for your reply.
Do we have centralized ASM instance for all nodes?
If yes does it should be created on shared device or something else???Normally database will reside in SHARED STORAGE and ASM & RBDMS instances willbe in stand alone systems..
ASM diskgorup will be sharable to all the instances... not the instance can be sharable
Hope you understood.

Multiple ASM Instances on single node

Hi All,
After going through some threads it seems to me that multiple ASM instances on a node is not supported and recommended by ORACLE but i coudn't find any ORACLE document or support matrix mentioning this. Can any one give me a pointer to this. Please correct me if i am wrong and Multiple ASM instances are fully supported by ORACLE.
Thanks,

Multiple ASM instances on a single node are supported but not recommended due to several issues you could encounter during that kind of configuration.
Possible interraction between those instances for identification of each disk area usage,each disk area permissions , database instance to asm instance mapping and so on, could result in unwanted behaviour, as ASM is in some way just oracle's representation of LVM.
Intention is that any kind of distinction/separation of oracle related data under the ASM should be done through the disk groups.
So it seems it would be better to apply this kind of logic rather than doing suspiciously magical and rare configurations that could bring you similiary strange and unexpected problems.

Rebooting the server with ASM instance............

Hi folks
I have to go for reboot of the server as I am adding a RAW device for having one more mount and also will be adding a disk to disk group.
1) alter diskgroup diskgroupname add disk '/u09'; Is this correct to add a new disk to the diskgroup of ASM instance?
2) I will have to shutdown all the six instances within the ASM instance and shutdown the ASM instance? Is this correct
After a successfull Rebbot is done
3) I will have to startup the ASM instance first and one by one startup the other six instances? Is it the right sequence.
Please reply at the earliest.
Thanks
Shiva

Hi
If you want to shutdown the server to add the RAW device then:
1. Shutdown all instances but shutdown ASM instance in the end.
2. Shutdown server and add the RAW device.
3. Startup server
4 Add the diskgruop and also you can increase the value of rebalance parameter.
5. Start all the instances that are using this ASM instance.
Hope this Help
Regards

Shutdown ASM instance

as oracle says regarding shutdown ASM instance normal and immediate options:
ASM waits for any in progress SQL to complete before performing an orderly dismount of all the disk groups and shutting down the ASM instance, if any database instance are connected to the ASM instance , the Shutdown command returns error and leaves the ASM instance running.
i have just got confused , which sql would asm instance waits to complete if it is going to return an error if any database instance is connected?

You can use sqlplus and connect to the ASM instance as sysasm to configure diskgroups, perform maintenance or upgrades, for example. ASM does not know about transactions in databases that are connected to the ASM instance. Databases are simply connected or not.

Would oracle start ASM instance automatically?

Hi there,
I experienced this yesterday while testing my scripts.
I wrote couple of unix shell scripts (OEL) - one to shutdown all DBs (which, at the end shuts down the ASM instance as well) and the second one to start all the DBs.
In the second one, I forgot to inclde the commands to startup the ASM instance first and executed the script. I noticed there were no errors during the DB startup (which included the DB that uses ASM) and when I checked the output of "ps -ef | grep pmon", +ASM instance was already up and running.
So the ASM instance was started up automatically - I wonder if this is how it should be?
If this is normal, should I forget about adding ASM instance startup commands to the second shell script?

RegardsWhat is the version?
If 11gR2 , ASM home will come automatically i.e. diskgroups will be mounted.
or check is there any script mentioned in init.d something like http://www.oracle-base.com/articles/linux/AutomatingDatabaseStartupAndShutdownOnLinux.php

Convert ASM single instance to RAC ASM instance...

Hi, all
Im installing OracleDatabase with RAC and I got an error on the Database Configuration Assistant that says "The ASM instance configured on the local node is a single instance. To manage this instance as a single-instance ASM restart DBCA and select the single instance database option. To manage this instance as RAC ASM, convert it to RAC ASM first".
How I can convert it??
Thanks

See the link below for converting a single instance ASM to RAC ASM. The link is to the Oracle® Database Oracle Clusterware and Oracle Real Application Clusters Installation Guide for Linux. If your platform is not Linux, check the Install Guide for your OS.

Asm, instance and service failing to start 10g rac redhat el5

hi,
i have been following a how to guide from oracle's website about implementing a 10g rac system using el5 (http://www.oracle.com/technology/pub/articles/hunter_rac10gr2_iscsi.html), by the end of the installation and setup I had both the nodes up and running and all services were up and running. Then under the root account I rebooted one of the nodes. now when I check the status of the services I get this:

srvctl start asm -n rac01and it starts but the instance and service on the rebooted node still wont start. is there a log file which tells me what the error is when it tries to start the instance? what can I do to ensure that if a node is rebooted that all of the services get started correctly and the node automatically rejoins the cluster (i thought I had set all of this from the instructions of the guide I was following).

Starting with 10.1.0.4, it is possible to modify some resources to have their profile parameter AUTO_START set to the value 2.

Hi,
I believe your OCR is corrupted....so restore the OCR from most recent backup (before error ).
Using crs_* commands on resources with the prefix ora.* (resources provided by Oracle) remains unsupported.
After restore OCR... remove ASM with "srvctl" command:

Rconfig fails for migrate single ASM instance to Oracle RAC 11.2.0.3

We completed the following steps thus far to migrate single instance with ASM 11.2.0.3 on Oracle Linux to RAC:
1. Install RAC CRS 11.2.0.3 in GRID_HOME
2. Install RAC database 11.2.0.3 software in new ORACLE_HOME
3. Added ASM diskgroups to two node ASM instances
4. run rconfig from target RAC ORACLE_HOME
It fails on:

Has anyone seen this issue before with migrating with rconfig and if so, how did you resolve it?

good to know. thanks for updating the thread with what was wrong, this will help the community if someone faces this issue.

Since OCR and Voting Disks are stored in ASM Diskgroups (11.2) , is it OK to shutdown ASM instance in any or both of the nodes ? ie.
Will CRS in a node go down if you shutdown ASM instance in that Node ?

Either use "crsctl stop cluster -n node_name" or "crsctl stop crs" for this purpose.
Since you are using OCR and VOTING DISK on ASM, it's not possible stop only ASM and keep cluster running.

Configure ASM Instance in RAC cluster - problem

Linux RH4 with Oracle 11.1.0.6
I previously had ASM working in a RAC environment, but have uninstalled on all 3 nodes following Oracle guidelines.
When I attempt to re-configure ASM it states that an ASM instance is located in nodes 2 and 3. Previous ASM software has been removed, and there are no entries in the /etc/oratab files on any of the nodes.
How do I locate and then remove these instances on nodes 2 and 3
Thanks

Steps in Note 311350.1 have been followed, and there are no occurances of ASM appearing in the crs_stat output. Also the fact that the ASM software has also been removed from all of the various, where are these ASM instances being started?
I am unable to proceed past the "Select Configuration Screen" which gives you the option to 1)Create Database, 2)Configure ASM or 3) Install Software only.
When I select option 2 and enter ASM SYS password, I get the error message that ASM instances are present in the other nodes.
Would appreciate any help in how I can progress past this stage.
Thanks
