Asm rac doubt

Hi,
i was asked to convert the non asm instance to asm instance.
iam doing the below steps and i have few doubts in that.please clear all my doubts
i have a server where there is already one rdbms database instance running with name orcl
so i did the following
1) first create a asm instance and assign it oracle_sid as +ASM
here in place of ASM shall i have any other name like CNH or something like that?
2)secondly i have to migrate the non asm instance orcl to asm enabled ''
instance
my doubt here is after migrating the non asm rdbms instance database files to all diskgroups and converting it to asm enabled instance how can i start the asm enabled converted instance
i)export ORACLE_SID=+ASM and start the instance
2)secondly export ORACLE_SID=orcl and start the db
3)lastly start the listener
is my unserstanding correct?

ASM instance name must be +ASM, you will have issue later if you use non-standard name

Once you've migrated the database to asm you have to start the asm first before start the database otherwise the database can't see the datafile because the ASM is not contactable

RMAN on ASM RAC doubts

Hi!
I have some general questions for RAC 10gR2 (10.2.0.4 PS4) on Linux Ithanium with ASM (with OMF and default template) on raw blocks (not raw devices!).
1) Is it important that backup/restore of DB is done from master node of the RAC or any node can be involved in this operation?
2) When you perform "alter system archive log current" in RMAN script, does it switch log file for all instances (in sqlplus it is not like that)? Until now, on one instance (no RAC) I was using "alter system switch logfile" in RMAN with great success... Now I'd like to verify this doubt...
3) I have read Oracle docs about Flash Recovery Area placed on ASM for backups, archived logs etc. . I?m fully aware of it's setup but I'd like to read something like "best practice" on that subject with some thresholds and examples... Regardless official Oracle is saying that it is more then recommended to use that technology in all incoming releases for this purpose, I'd like to make some experiment before start to use that in PROD environment.
4) If we use ASM on raw blocks (this is new feature for Red Hat 5.x Linux) how to backup ASM instance itself. Is RMAN capable for that?
5) How to ensure that in OMF with ASM log files and archived log files as well have SCN number in name?
6) If anyone has some links, notes (out of official Oracle docs) about this subject...thx in front.
Regards,
Damir

Hi Hermant!
2) "Since the command specifies the INSTANCE "
I do not think so.
In RMAN you connect to database not any particular instance.... So this command should(!?) archive all CURRENT archive logs in all instance. This was my doubt .. still waiting for proof.
And example of one adhoc full backup script to disk (AFR):
run{
# switch archive logs for all threads
sql "alter system archive log current";
backup database;
# switch archive logs for all threads
sql "alter system archive log current";
BACKUP ARCHIVELOG FROM TIME "(trunc(sysdate)+(18.3/24))" filesperset 50;
allocate channel t1 type disk;
restore database preview;
RESTORE DATABASE PREVIEW SUMMARY;
release channel t1;
}To be more specific: In RMAN if you do not specify exactly instance name, does all commands are meant as global (to all instances)?
Hope now is clear.

Oracle 10g R2 installation with ASM+RAC

Gurus,
Need some suggestuon on Oracle 10g R2 installation with ASM and RAC option.
We have found many documents on the Oracle, HP, HP-Oracle CTC and third party web sites, but nothing that is specific to this particular combination of separate
ORACLE_HOMEs, ASM and 10g RAC CRS. It is unclear for me from the documentation how this combination of ASM and 10.2g RAC may best be installed.
The high level steps i got after reading lot of docs as follows - but i am not sure whether these are correct or not. if they are correct, can any one share their experience/notes please?
1) Install CRS
2) Install RDBMS for ASM HOME - create separater oracle home for ASM instance using OUI
3) Install RDBMS for RAC Database Home - create separater oracle home for RAC database using OUI
4) Create ASM database using DBCA -
5) Use dbca to create database.

Oracle provides 'paint by numbers' tutorials called 'Oracle By Example'. (Go to OTN, check under the Training tab)
They have one for a Windows based ASM/RAC that you might want to review. Not your specific environment, but the steps will be dag-nabbed close.
I recommend walking the path (http://otn.oracle.com >> training:OBE >> Database 10g Release 1:VMWare:Installation

How to clone a 2-node ASM RAC db to a 3-node ASM RAC db by RMAN?

We need to clone a 2-node ASM RAC db to a 3-node ASM RAC db by RMAN. I would think this will be about the same as a regular single db procedure by RMAN mostly. However, in 3 node RAC, there will be additional instance thread in redo (thread 1,2, and 3). Questions will be
1. Should I use CRSCTL to add new instance (3rd)? -- I guess yes
2. Should I create additional online redo group for thread 3? -- I guess yes
3. Should I create addition undo tablespace? -- I guess yes
Can any body provide a procedure of cloning the DB?
Thanks!

Not just easy as next, next, next
version depenedencies and etc.

ASM, RAC instance cloning

Hi,
Can you advice for cloning ASM, RAC EBS R12 instance , For lesser cloning time, is Snapshot mirroring or BCV copy of ASM, RAC instance of 20 TB in size is recommended?
Can we have BCV copy of it's replication used for faster RAPID cloning..Is there any white paper available for same.

Restoring RMAN Backup from ASM RAC env to Non ASM standalone environment

Hi,
Can anyone please tell me how to restore database using RMAN in a Non ASM environment as my backup file with ASM RAC environment.
i was also looking for some documentation which provides clear explanation about RMAN backup and Restore in ASM and Non ASM environment.
Thanks

You can set the parameter db_file_name_convert in init.ora in you new database with [ID 47325.1]
or
you can set parameter "set newname" in your script rman. [ID 549972.1]
if you have one or two destinations of dbfiles in ASM I seggest to you set parameter db_file_name_convert in init.
example:
db_file_name_convert=('+DGDATA','/u01/oradata/');
remenber you need set log_file_name_convert to.
log_file_name_convert=('+DGREDO','/u01/redo/');
if you use "set newname" commands you need set this lines in your script rman.
set newname for datafile 1 to '/u01/oradata/system01.dbf';
set newname for datafile 2 to '/u01/oradata/undotbs01.dbf';
set newname for datafile 3 to '/u01/oradata/sysaux01.dbf';
set newname for datafile 4 to '/u01/oradata/users01.dbf';
and every datafiles you need set!

10.1.0.3 on RH4(Centos) + Raw devices + ASM + RAC

Hi,
I'm just wondering if anyone here tried installing a single node RAC on 2 instance using ASM on Oracle 10g (10.1.0.3)?
I am using RH4(CENTOS 4.1), Oracle 10.1.0.3 + CRS 10.1.0.3 on fake raw devices in Linux.
I have been able to install the CRS and Oracle database software successfully.
All CRS services and listener are up and running.
crs_stat command return successful results.
srvctl status nodeapps -n <node_name> also returns successful results.
However, when I attempt to startup the ASM instance, I keep encountering these errors:
ORA-00603:ORACLE server session terminated by fatal error
ORA-27504:IPC error creating OSD context
The ORA-00603 error message will appear immediately in the SQLPLUS prompt when I try to startup ASM instance.
Both errors will be logged in alert.log and trace files, no other useful error messages besides these errors.
When I attempt to create a normal database instance using datafiles on the same machine, these errors also appear again!
So, I figure its got nothing to do with the raw devices since my OCR location and Voting devices are using the same raw devices on Linux.
Anyone did the same thing like me and faced similar problems.... please help.
Cheers

You can use dbca to create ASM instance to get rid of the manual copy business.
In realease 1, you can invoke dbca, choose database instance and walk through still you reach storage clause and choose asm and DBA will create ASM instance on both nodes.
Ensure that you choose cluster install option and all the nodes at the initial stages.

Disable asm instance doubt

we can enable or disable an ASM instance on a node using using the following syntax..
can you tell me whether what would be the exact scenario in which we disable the instance.. if we want to remove a node in RAC environment we delete it.. what is the use of disable option. please help guys..
Use the following syntax to enable an Oracle ASM instance:
srvctl enable asm [-n node_name]
Use the following syntax to disable an Oracle ASM instance:
srvctl disable asm [-n node_name]

From 10.2 doc http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/rac.102/b14197/srvctladmin.htm#RACAD5026:
>
srvctl disable
Disables a specified object (cluster database, database instance, ASM instance, or service). SRVCTL disable is intended to be used when an object is to be repaired or is down for maintenance to prevent inappropriate automatic restarts. When you issue the disable command, the object is disabled and unavailable to run under Oracle Clusterware for automatic startup, failover, or restart. If you specify -i instance_name, then SRVCTL only disables the service from running on the specified instance.

Atypical ASM/RAC 11.2 configuration.

Hi every one,
We are evaluating several scenarios to implement Oracle RAC, and we want to know if the following configuration is certified by Oracle.
1 asm disk group (SAN)
1 linux node that has the following users and instances:
linux user: grid1 running asm instance-1
linux user: ora1 running db instance-1
linux user: grid2 running asm instance-2
linux user: ora2 running db instance-2
this node configuration is RAC with another linux node.
All asm instances share the same asm disk group
This configuration is because we have 2 core applications, each one with its own database, we only have 2 RAC Nodes and for security reason we want to separate database application and database administration.
Do you have any note o white paper that support this configuration?
Thanks.

Hi,
I would suggest to look at the installation guide for your platform. For 11.2 there could be either
1. only one oracle user for all installation
2. a role separation between a (storage,ASM,GI) and RAC RDBMS.
Regards,

Installing ASM+RAC on two Sun Netra440

Hi, folks, My company develops a telecom system and considering to install RAC and ASM on two Sun Netra 440, each Netra 440 has 4 physic disks. We would like to use 2 physic disks on each Netra440 as a failure group, so a disk group comprise of 2 disks from first Netra440 and another 2 disks from second Netra440. then if one NEtra440 totally dies, then the other Netra440 can take care of application, because 2 local physic disks have the same data.
but how to configure ASM to access to second Netra440 disks from first Netra440? any suggestion is appreciated!

Hi,
I didn't hear anything about a shared device like a storage. If your company is able to afford 8 processor licenses for RAC then investing in a storage should not be a problem. That's the way I used to see and build Oracle RAC databases.
Good luck!
Cheers,

Dbverify in ASM - RAC

Hi,
I have a production environment in RAC, and some indices appear as corrupt I would I rebuild up there and everything's fine. I want to make a dbverify to datafile that the indices have corrupt and verify that this well, the issue is that the storage is ASM then datafiles not see them by operating system.
This is the datafile:
system@saludwebrac-->select file_name, tablespace_name from dba_data_files
2 where tablespace_name = 'SALWEB_PEQ_IND';
FILE_NAME
+DGN_SALUDWEB/saludweb/datafile/salweb_peq_ind.272.637187829
system@saludwebrac-->
Thousand Thanks to who can help me!

There it is absolutely no problem with that. Since the datafile is within the ASM it can be seen, from the Oracle perspective, as a regular file, so the command dbv will work just the way it works with a regular file.
You must get the file name from either the v$datafile or dba_data_files view and perform the dbv session as usual. There is one thing, though, since the data files can only be "seen" from inside the ASM, you must open a session with a database user and password, that's what the USERID is for, and the rest you can use it as a regular dbv session:
Example:
SQL> select name from v$datafile;
NAME
+DATA/rdbhri/datafile/system.256.653950741

Adding Disks on ASM/RAC

Hi
I need to add new disks in my instances ASM1 and ASM2.
How do I do that?
Can I down the ASM2 node, add the disks on ASM1 and then, start the ASM2
If I do this, the ASM2, will see the new disks ?
Spaulonci

ASM instances in a RAC environment don't act independently, a diskgroup serving a RAC database is maintained by all participating ASM instances. So you don't add a disk to a particular instance. There's no need to shutdown ASM to add a disk, that's one of the ASM advantages.
