ASM instance shutdown abort automatic on 10gr2 RAC

Hi all, I have a oracle 10gR2 RAC on solaris9 with three nodes.the node2 and node3 work right,but the ASM instance on node1 often shutdown abort automatic and no any erros in alertlog file.
why ?

  • ASM instance for Multiple DBs in a RAC environment - 10GR2

    Are there any drawbacks if you create 2 RAC databases ex Chicago (consisting on 2 nodes Chicago1 and Chicago2) and Orlando (consisting of Oralndo1 and Oralndo2) on the same ASM instance running on Oracle 10G R2.
    Would it be better to create 2 ASM instances?
    Thanks

    ASM is node specific. Meaning you can only have one ASM instance per node.. its like any other volume manager. You only need one volume manager/storage manager to handle the storage for a given node. Its no different with ASM.
    So irrespective of the number of databases you plan to create on a node, you will only have one ASM instance.
    A word of caution when creating multiple RDBMS instances, is to ensure you have sufficient resources for this. Unless the user access patterns are considerably different or the business needs stipulate separate database, you should also consider database consolidation if possible.

  • 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.

    I'm having this same problem. Did you ever find a solution?

  • 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.

  • 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).
    Regards

    Check ASM resource:
    crs_stat -p "resource_name
    $ crs_stat | grep NAME\= | grep ASM1
    NAME=ora.rac01.ASM1.asm
    $ crs_stat -p ora.rac01.ASM1.asm

    DESCRIPTION=CRS application for ASM instance
    What do you see AUTO_START?
    if 1 = auto start:
    or check error ASM while start... at ASM_HOME/log/rac01/racg/*
    If AUTO_START=2
    Oracle Clusterware is configured to start the VIP, listener, instance, ASM, database services and other resources during system boot. 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.
    If AUTO_START=2 and need to change to 1:
    Example:
    $ crs_stat -p ora.rac01.ASM1.asm
    NAME=ora.rac01.ASM1.asm
    TYPE=application
    ACTIVE_PLACEMENT=0
    AUTO_START=2

  • Shutting down ASM instance in 11.2 RAC

    DB version : 11.2.0.2
    Platform : Solaris 10 / AIX 6.1
    2-node RAC
    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 ?

    Will CRS in a node go down if you shutdown ASM instance in that Node ?Yes. You will have to first stop the Oracle Clusterware stack on the node on which you need to stop the Oracle ASM instance.
    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.

  • Oracle 10gR2 RAC - ASM question

    Hi
    I have a question regarding the ASM storage. Let says I have a system here running Oracle 10gR2 RAC and would like to add a new/extend the current DATA disk group with more disk space. How do I do that? will it affect the existing data stored inside there?

    So to add a little more to the discussion. Let's say your storage administrator presents you a LUN and is nice enough to add a partition of say 7G. (/dev/sdo1).
    Now you need to take /dev/sdo1 stamp it and alter your storage group.
    For illustration purposes I shall use rac1 and rac2 as my dual instance RAC and add to the asm group ARCH.
    As root on rac1
    /etc/init.d/oracleasm createdisk ARCH2 /dev/sdo1
    then run
    /etc/init.d/oracleasm listdisks
    to make sure ARCH2 shows up.
    On rac2 you run
    /etc/init.d/oracleasm listdisks
    You don't see ARCH2 so then run
    /etc/init.d/oracleasm scandisks
    then
    /etc/init.d/oracleasm listdisks
    Now you should see ARCH2
    Ok the asm stamps are in sync now.
    Back to rac1
    su - oracle
    set ORACLE_SID to asm instance and use sqlplus
    sqlplus / as sysasm
    If you query V$ASM_DISK you will see your disk with a header_status of PROVISIONED
    that's good ...
    NOw while still in sqlplus
    Let's bump up the asm_power_limit so rebalancing runs faster
    alter system set asm_power_limit=5 scope=both ;
    If your asm instance are sharing the same spfile you only need do this on one instance; otherwise run the command both on all asm instances.
    Lastly
    ALTER DISKGROUP ARCH ADD DISK 'ORCL:ARCH2' ;
    Now you can query V$ASM_OPERATION and watch ASM do it's magic of rebalancing.
    That's it. All done while the DB is up and running.
    How does that work for you?

  • 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?
    Regards

    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

  • Loss of all controlfile,database is automatic shutdown abort?

    Your database is configured in NOARCHIVELOG mode. All the control files have been lost due to a hard disk failure but the data files are not lost. You have the closed whole database backup available to you. Which two statements are true in this scenario? (Choose two.)
    A) The instance aborts.
    B) The database cannot be recovered.
    C) The database can be recovered by restoring the control files from the backup.
    D) The database remains opened and you have to shut it down with the ABORT option.
    E) The database can be restored till the point of the last closed whole database backup.

    Its only when the process terminates that the locks are released and file is actually deleted at operating system level.I concur!
    This behavior is *NIX only.
    Windows explicitly prevents open files from being deleted.

    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

  • 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

  • Rename asm instance in RAC

    Hello,
    ClusterWare 11.2.0.3 + RAC db same version .
    I need to rename one of the ASM instances
    How can this be done ?
    the situation is as follows , I needed to take one of the server out of the cluster and then bring him back in .
    when I have added him , he got a new ASM instance name (was ASM1 now it got ASM3 , 2 node rac) ,

    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

    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:

  • 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.
