ASM Instance registeration with LISTENER
Hi,
For the purpose of Oracle Security change, I wanted to add SECURE_REGISTER_LISTENER = (TCP) to the listener.ora file. Then, I need to stop and start the listener, and to get the database register with the listener, I am supposed to do ALTER SYSTEM REGISTER;
My question is:
How will I register the ASM instance with the listener, please?
is it same like registering database,i.e., ALTER SYSTEM REGISTER; while connecting with sys / as sysasm? will the ASM INSTANCE register dynamically?
DB=10.2.0.4 OS=RHL
[oracle@db ~]$ sqlplus / as sysasm

Hi,
Thanks.
After a change to listener.ora, when I start listener and register, will I be able to see the same as below (regarding +ASM)? Because all the services should be running after the change, rite?

Hi All
I installed 11g infrastructure and ASM instance is created by default . Now I want to install 10g software . Can I use ASM instance 11g with 10g ORACLE_HOME and database or I need to install 10G ASM software and create ASM 10g instance ?

Hi Experts,
I have a short questions about ASM. I know that one ASM instance can be used by many RDBMS instances and disks/diskgroups in one ASM instance can be shared by different databases. But how can we set a database instance to use only one specific ASM instance when there are more than one ASM instances???
That is, my question is, "How a database instance can identify different ASM instances, running on the same server, and how it can choose one of them to use for its database files?"
Thanks in advance.user566817 wrote:

That is, my question is, "How a database instance can identify different ASM instances, running on the same server, and how it can choose one of them to use for its database files?"I am not sure that it would be right to start many ASM instances as the name of the instance of asm should be +ASM and it just sounds complete absurd to try starting all the instances with the same name. There is no need to create many many instances of ASM. Still, a database doesn't go and 'discover" the asm instance. Its you who tells it to go to which disk group it should look for and if you have got different asm instances running with different names, with the specified disk group, your db would use the asm instance of that group only.
I am not sure that my answer is correct or not as I have not seen any where more than one ams instance running. I shall wait for others to jump in and reply ( and correct me as well if I am wrong).

Create a new user for oracle 10G ASM instance with sysdba system privilege
Hi,
In our Golden Gate Project, we require the SYS user credential to connect to the Oracle 10g ASM instance to read the database transaction logs.But our client is not providing the SYS user credential to connnect to ASM instance.
I'm getting the error message "ORA-01109: database not open",When I tried to create a new user using the below the steps in oracle 10g ASM instance
1. Login using "sqlplus / as sysdba"
2. Create user <username> identified by <password>;
But in oracle 11g ASM instance, I'm able to create new user by connecting the ASM instance with SYSASM role without issues.
Is there is any workaround to create a new user with sysdba system privilege in oracle 10g ASM instance?.
Thanks in advance .Hi,
Recreate the password file for the ASM instance as follows:
Unix:
orapwd file=<ORACLE_HOME>/dbs/PWD<SID> password=<sys_password>
Windows:
orapwd file=<ORACLE_HOME>/database/PWD<SID>.ora password=<sys_password>
Now sys password is reset, we are ready to use sys for ASM management. I decided to create another user ASMDBA as I tried above.
SQL> create user ASMDBA identified by test01;
User created.
SQL> grant SYSASM, SYSOPER to ASMDBA;
Grant succeeded.
SQL> select * from v$pwfile_users;
USERNAME SYSDBA SYSOPE SYSASM
SYS TRUE TRUE TRUE
ASMDBA FALSE TRUE TRUE

Shutdown ASM instance with database up???
While reading through the Apex installation guide I ran across this statement:
If Automatic Storage Management (ASM) is running, shut down all databases that
use ASM except for the database where you will install Oracle Application
Express, and then shut down the ASM instance.
.... uh, leaving the one ASM based database up .. with the ASM instance itself shut down?
Am I mis-reading? Or do I have a fundamental flaw in my understanding of the relationship of the ASM instance with the database instances?EdStevens wrote:
Included .. but upgrades of Apex?
Ed, upgrading Apex is fairly safe.
However, do not merely rely on a datapump/export of the current Apex schema as backup, prior to installing the upgrade (creating a new schema). Reason: there are objects installed as SYS which will be overwritten by the upgrade, and not exported by the backup. [have an outstanding feature request filed with Apex team to fix this - there are no reasons for using SYS for app objects]
Which is why I prefer a logical backup instead - an Apex export of apps and workspaces. This can be done via the command line. There is a Java program/jar for Apex that supports CLI access to automatically export all apps in all workspaces. I have a cron job that does this every night on all our databases as Apex apps are not made of the type of code one can checkout and edit from a traditional source code repository,
What is not exported, is extra content such as images, custom style sheets and so on (static contents). But is it a better idea to have static contents served by the web server, rather than via a db server session.
Apex is pretty kewl - one of the better web frameworks for Oracle that we've been using since Marvel/HTMLDB days. Some niggles. But overall an excellent product. -
Edit listener from ASM instance in OEM
Hi
I've installed Oracle Grid Infrastructure for a standalone server, and next installed database 11g. I have ASM and orcl instances. Under ASM (in ORACLE_HOME/grid) I have listener (listener.ora file), and under orcl instance I have only tnsnames.ora (so I can connect by local naming). In OEM Database Control, in Net Services Administration I see only local names, but not listeners. So, can I edit listener from ASM instance in OEM Database Control?
Thanks awfully for help.
RegardsYes, you can use the Net Manager also to do the same but it should be started from the Grid Home and not from the Oracle Home.

ORA-00488: RBAL process terminated with error causing ASM instance to crash
Hi Freinds,
I am manging a three node ASM cluster on 10g(10.2.0.2).Yesterday I observed one of the ASM instance got crashed .On reviewing the Alert log of crashed ASM instance I found
"*ORA-00488: RBAL process terminated with error*"
and subsequently
"*PMON: terminating instance due to error 488*".
I could restart the crashed instance without an issues but I want to know what kind of event could lead to such scenario.
I searched net and metalink but didn't found any helpful information.
Did any of you faced similar issues and do you have understanding why and when it happens.
Thanks in Advance
Arindam.Hi,
There is bug reported on such issue, please check further on metalink if you have support.

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
ShivaHi
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

Creating ASM instance with dbca
Hi All
I have 3 questions
1 - Is the file needed to install ASM software is the same as the file need to install regular oracle software or they are 2 different installation files ?
2 - Do I need to create 2 oracle homes , one for ASM and one for regular oracle software or only one ORACLE_HOME is needed ?
3 - Do I need to run dbca once or twice to create the asm instance and database instance ?
Thanks
Edited by: user12302159 on Sep 25, 2010 12:58 PMHello,
1 - Is the file needed to install ASM software is the same as the file need to install regular oracle software or they are 2 different installation files ?
Answer:The regular database uses normal file system but asm uses Raw devices which is not a file system at all it is just an empty disk.
2 - Do I need to create 2 oracle homes , one for ASM and one for regular oracle software or only one ORACLE_HOME is needed ?
actually you will need oracle home and asm home yes in 11g release 2 they added something being called grid infra structure and they made the cluster home and the asm home and the grid home combined in one home but it is not being called oracle home because oracle home is just for the oracle software.
3 - Do I need to run dbca once or twice to create the asm instance and database instance ?
In 10g yes 2 times you will do that and you can run it once and after you install ASM it asks you if you want to do anything else so you can do it once or twice.in 11g release 2 you dont use the dbca anymore to isntall asm you just use the grid software.
Kind regards

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

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. This means that after node reboot, or when Oracle Clusterware is started, resources with AUTO_START=2 will need to be started manually via srvctl. Please work with Oracle Support if you need to modify this attribute.

11g R2 Grid Infrastructure asmca cannot detect 11g R1 ASM instance
I am playing with 11g ASM with XEN (one node on host (or dom0) and another node on vm (or dom1)) and was trying to do a Clusterware + ASM upgrade from 11.0.6 to 11.2.0.

Edited by: thtsang on Jan 6, 2010 5:33 PMHi Thtsang,
sorry for not coming back to you earlier and thanks for "the helpful".
So, are you saying that after you have removed all the environment variables, you still got the error message "ORA-01034: ORACLE not available"? I thought you got an "ASM upgrade failed", because ASM was down at the time of the upgrade, which you then corrected saying: "In fact, ASM instance was started from Grid Infrastructure home.". Overall, I need to say that I am a bit confused to be honest.
The alert log entry sounds promising, although, one would need to see more context. For: "But when I use crsctl / srvctl to start ASM, it is still running in 11g R1 Oracle Home." So, something went wrong with the update. For: "BTW, if asmca does not work for me, can I upgrade manually?" - ASMCA is the tool that will perform an ASM upgrade. You can call it interactively, but you will have to use it.
Support note ID 950200.1 - "ASM 11gR2: How To Upgrade An ASM Instance To Release 11gR2 (11.2.0.1.0)?" describes an ASM upgrade to 11.2. Maybe this note can help you and if it is only to analyze what stage your cluster is in right now. It sounds like, this would be first thing that we need to find out.
Good luck. Thanks,

ASM was a new storage option introduced with Oracle Database 10gR1 that provides the services of a filesystem, logical volume manager, and software RAID in a platform-independent manner. ASM can stripe and mirror your disks, allow disks to be added or removed while the database is under load, and automatically balance I/O to remove "hot spots." It also supports direct and asynchronous I/O and implements the Oracle Data Manager API (simplified I/O system call interface) introduced in Oracle9i.
ASM is not a general-purpose filesystem and can be used only for Oracle data files, redo logs, and control files. Files in ASM can be created and named automatically by the database (by use of the Oracle Managed Files feature) or manually by the DBA. Because the files stored in ASM are not accessible to the operating system, the only way to perform backup and recovery operations on databases that use ASM files is through Recovery Manager (RMAN).
ASM is implemented as a separate Oracle instance that must be up if other databases are to be able to access it. Memory requirements for ASM are light: only 64 MB for most systems.
Installing ASM
On Linux platforms, ASM can use raw devices or devices managed via the ASMLib interface. Oracle recommends ASMLib over raw devices for ease-of-use and performance reasons. ASMLib 2.0 is available for free download from OTN. This section walks through the process of configuring a simple ASM instance by using ASMLib 2.0 and building a database that uses ASM for disk storage.
Determine Which Version of ASMLib You Need
ASMLib 2.0 is delivered as a set of three Linux packages:
* oracleasmlib-2.0 - the ASM libraries
* oracleasm-support-2.0 - utilities needed to administer ASMLib
* oracleasm - a kernel module for the ASM library
Each Linux distribution has its own set of ASMLib 2.0 packages, and within each distribution, each kernel version has a corresponding oracleasm package. The following paragraphs describe how to determine which set of packages you need.
First, determine which kernel you are using by logging in as root and running the following command:
uname -rm
Ex:
# uname -rm
2.6.9-22.ELsmp i686
The example shows that this is a 2.6.9-22 kernel for an SMP (multiprocessor) box using Intel i686 CPUs.
Use this information to find the correct ASMLib packages on OTN:
1. Point your Web browser to http://www.oracle.com/technology/tech/linux/asmlib/index.html
2. Select the link for your version of Linux.
3. Download the oracleasmlib and oracleasm-support packages for your version of Linux
4. Download the oracleasm package corresponding to your kernel. In the example above, the oracleasm-2.6.9-22.ELsmp-2.0.0-1.i686.rpm package was used.
Next, install the packages by executing the following command as root:
rpm -Uvh oracleasm-kernel_version-asmlib_version.cpu_type.rpm \
oracleasmlib-asmlib_version.cpu_type.rpm \
oracleasm-support-asmlib_version.cpu_type.rpm
Ex:
# rpm -Uvh \
> oracleasm-2.6.9-22.ELsmp-2.0.0-1.i686.rpm \
> oracleasmlib-2.0.1-1.i386.rpm \
> oracleasm-support-2.0.1-1.i386.rpm

Configuring ASMLib
Before using ASMLib, you must run a configuration script to prepare the driver. Run the following command as root, and answer the prompts as shown in the example below.
# /etc/init.d/oracleasm configure
Configuring the Oracle ASM library driver.
This will configure the on-boot properties of the Oracle ASM library
driver. The following questions will determine whether the driver is
loaded on boot and what permissions it will have. The current values
will be shown in brackets ('[]'). Hitting <ENTER> without typing an
answer will keep that current value. Ctrl-C will abort.
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
Fix permissions of Oracle ASM disks on boot (y/n) [y]: y
Writing Oracle ASM library driver configuration: [ OK ]
Creating /dev/oracleasm mount point: [ OK ]
Loading module "oracleasm": [ OK ]
Mounting ASMlib driver filesystem: [ OK ]
Scanning system for ASM disks: [ OK ]
Next you tell the ASM driver which disks you want it to use. Oracle recommends that each disk contain a single partition for the entire disk. See Partitioning the Disks at the beginning of this section for an example of creating disk partitions.
You mark disks for use by ASMLib by running the following command as root:
/etc/init.d/oracleasm createdisk DISK_NAME device_name
Tip: Enter the DISK_NAME in UPPERCASE letters.
Ex:
# /etc/init.d/oracleasm createdisk VOL1 /dev/sdb1
Marking disk "/dev/sdb1" as an ASM disk: [ OK ]
# /etc/init.d/oracleasm createdisk VOL1 /dev/sdc1
Marking disk "/dev/sdc1" as an ASM disk: [ OK ]
# /etc/init.d/oracleasm createdisk VOL1 /dev/sdd1
Marking disk "/dev/sdd1" as an ASM disk: [ OK ]
Verify that ASMLib has marked the disks:
# /etc/init.d/oracleasm listdisks
VOL1
VOL2
VOL3
Create the ASM Instance
ASM runs as a separate Oracle instance which can be created and configured using the Oracle Universal Installer. Now that ASMLib is installed and the disks are marked for use, you can create an ASM instance.
Log in as oracle and start runInstaller:
$ ./runInstaller
