ASM with multiple databases

I need to create lots of databases on a single server for development/testing work but am not sure if I should create a single ASM instance to serve all of them, or one ASM instance per database. I need all databases to use different disk groups anyway, so is there a "best" way?
Would this change if the databases are for production use?

>>>>I should create a single ASM instance to serve all of them, or one ASM instance per database.
You can have only one ASM instance per server..

You can create one ASM instance and then create different Diskgroups and have each instance use a different diskgroup.

  • How to investigate high io in a RAC with multiple databases?

    how to investigate high io in a RAC with multiple databases?

    RAC is saying that a single server lacks the processing capacity needed for databaseA. So additional databaseA instances on additional servers are needed in  order to meet the processing demands for databaseA. Thus RAC is required.
    Multiple databases on a single server says that the server has spare processing capacity and that it can not only deal with databaseA processing demands, but also with the processing load of databaseB.
    So how does your statement about running multiple database RAC instances on the same RAC server node, make sense? And does your I/O issue not immediately point to the fact that no, RAC server1 cannot deal with the I/O resources required by both databaseA and databaseB?
    After all, how is I/O scaled on RAC? How is ANYTHING scaled on RAC? By adding more databases to a RAC server node? Of course NOT!!
    RAC scales by adding more servers (with a new database instance each) to a physical database in order to scale processing capacity and I/O. By adding more I/O channels to access the SAN/shared storage. By adding more CPUs to increase processing capacity.
    Bluntly put - multiple RAC database instances on a single RAC server node is kind of an idiotic approach to scalability in my view....

  • Can we link one application instance with multiple databases ?

    We have R12.1.1 and db is 11.1.0.7 on redhat 5.3 ( 64 bit).
    Can we link one application instance ( apps / , inst / ) with multiple database ( db / ),
    is this possible ?
    if yes how ?

    No. You cant link application tier with more than one database.

  • RAC with multiple databases

    hi,
    we are evaluating a design for the configuration of 3 databases in 10g RAC in linux
    Available HW: 2 servers each with 32 gb ram
    No of databases need to be configured :3
    what would be the effective configuration?
    the options we think are,
    1) One 2 Node RAC with 3 databases or
    2) Three 2 Node RAC each with 1 database each
    what would be the licencing cost in different options
    please help
    tia,

    heard about one implementation wherein with a h/w of 2 servers,
    1) 2 node cluster for one database
    2) single node cluster for the second database in one of the servers.
    is it possible to configure multiple clusters on the same machines?
    here in our case, we have 3 databases that need to part of RAC configuration.A single node cluster? A "cluster" implies two or more servers.
    If you have two servers, you can create two node cluster for any number of RAC database(s).
    Also you can create stand-alone database(s) on either server.
    If you use VM, you can cluster as many VM machines as you have configured.

  • ASM managing multiple databases

    Our db is 10.2.0.3 and server is MS 2003. Storage for databases is EMC.
    We have one ASM instance which is used for managing multiple databases. When I logon to one database and query v$asm_diskgroup I can see all diskgroups in the ASM which means that I can see diskgroups which belong to other databases. Is this correct? We have experienced some temp data files corruptions so I am wondering if these two are related.
    Thanks for your inputs and have a great weekend!

    We have one ASM instance which is used for managing

    query v$asm_diskgroup I can see all diskgroups in the
    ASM which means that I can see diskgroups which

  • Working with multiple databases

    Suppose I have a large project that follows the formal "SDLC" model for software development; it has various stages, environments, development, integration testing, system testing, UAT, etc. Each of these environments is on its own dedicated Oracle database.
    An query-only Apex application is built as a testing aid for the various environments to quickly see reports, test data conditions, etc. This application is deployed to all the environments.
    With other web development technologies (PHP, ASP/.NET, etc) which live outside Oracle and access Oracle using a userid/connect string. If some aspect of the application needs to be changed, it is done in 1 place (the application) and the new/modified functionality is available for use against all the enviroments (just change the connect string in the URL or some config file to access different environments).
    With Apex, the change to the application has to be done in all the 4 environments. This seems like a case where the Apex architecture (all app metadata in Oracle) is a disadvantage.
    Comments? Thanks

    That would be that case if you are only talking about only moving through the SDLC with your database changes yes? In many cases, you make changes both to the underlying database structure/code and the application (PHP, ASP, etc) so your application would "follow" your database code wouldn't it?

  • Single Weblogic Process with multiple databases

    Hi,
    Presently we are working with two seperate weblogic processes with for two different
    database schemes. The weblogic properties are defined differently in two weblogic.properties
    files.
    Is there a way to start weblogic in a single process so that it will work with
    two different DB schemes at runtime?
    Thanks,
    Danny.

    You have to use XA Driver which supports Distributed Transactions. This is
    supported from 6.0.
    Weblogic provides Type2 XA driver for Orcale and Oracle's Thin Driver
    Version 817 supports
    XA operations.

  • Same sql query with multiple database links

    Hi All,
    i want to execute an sql query for a SELECT LIST Item. which should use database links in it's query.
    i'm having a list of database links in the region. say :LOC which is having 10 items each linking to different databases.
    i want to use following query for another item in same page.
    select customer_name from working_lines@:LOC where
    phone_no:phone_no
    can i do this.
    Thank you All.

    What we have done before is to create a report based on a PL/SQL procedure that returns a SQL statement.
    The PL/SQL code grabs the "selected" database link from :LOC and parses the SQL QUERY you want to execute replacing some token (like [LINK]) with '@DBNAME'.
    Lets say your SQL statement is coded like this:
    mySQL := 'SELECT cust_name FROM working_lines[LINK] where phone_no = :Phone;'
    Then all you would have to do to replace '[LINK]' with the proper DB alias would be:
    mySQL := REPLACE(mySQL, '[LINK]', '@'||:LOC);
    and then return the new SQL ...
    if :LOC has something like 'V10GPROD' your SQL would look like :
    SELECT cust_name FROM working_lines@V10GPROD where phone_no = :Phone;
    The beauty of this is that you can also include a "null" option that means the select statement will be executed on THIS database...

  • Possible to sync multiple phones with multiple database?

    Forgive me if this has been covered, if so please point me to the right thread...
    Ok, I have two phones and one pda. I'd like to keep different database (and yet be able to selective choose data from one database to another). Is this possible?
    The reason for this setup is that I have one USA phone and one Taiwan phone and one PDA (with less dialed contacts). Obiviously, when I'm in Taiwan, I don't need any USA contacts in my Taiwan phones. (I know phones nowadays have enough memory to fit 100s of contacts, but I don't wan to scroll through a bunch of contacts that I don't need.)
    Any solution to this using iSync?
    Thanks!

    It depends entirely upon your mobile handset. Generally speaking, you can choose to synchronize by Address Book group, and not synchronize your entire Address Book database with each device. This is certainly supported by iSync for Palm devices.
    To determine the options for each handset and your PDA, select each one in iSync to drop down a configuration dialog specific to that device.

  • RMAN with multiple databases

    Hi,
    I need to define a mechanism with RMAN to backuptwo databases where information is copied from one to another by using Oracle Data Integrator CDC.
    How can I backup and recover both databases and it still sync?
    Thanks
    Homero

    Yes.
    And that is why I said "If you create distributed transactions between two Oracle databases, a Global SCN is synchronised".
    YOU CREATE distributed transactions.
    Test it out.
    Put two dummy tables in each database.
    Have a database link configured.
    Run some distributed transactions.
    Check the SCNs.

  • 3.1 upgrade with multiple databases

    We have 3 Oracle databases (10g) with APEX on a server. Two databases run with APEX 3.0 & one still runs with APEX 2.
    I want to upgrade to APEX 3.1. I ran the apexins script against the APEX 2 database, but now I'm faced with the step of copying the new 3.1 images over the old image file. My questions is what will happen to my existing 3.0 APEX installations if I copy the new image files?

    Hello,
    >> For some reason, I was able to run both APEX 2 & APEX 3 on the same server,…
    By “on the same server” you probably mean the same HTTP server. This is a supported configuration. A single OHS can support more than one APEX instance, and they don’t have to be the same version. A single database can’t support more than one version of APEX.
    >> … but I can't figure out why except to say that the 2.0 and 3.0 images were somehow compatiable …
    New ‘images’ directory, for a newer version, usually add features – icons, themes, templates etc. – to the directory, and don’t delete old stuff. Even the built-in JavaScript library maintains backward compatibility. That means that early version of APEX, like 2.x, can find anything it needs in an ‘images’ directory from 3.x version.
    >> But it looks to me like the 3.0 & 3.1 images are incompatible.
    I’m not sure what you mean by compatible, but the 3.1 version of ‘images’ is quite different – content and structure wise - from the 3.1 version. Still, application that was built using 3.0 should run with the 3.1 ‘images’ version. The reverse direction is, of course, not possible.

    The Exception is :

    nother pool: MultiTransactionTestHi. You can't domultiple DBMSes in one transaction unless you use an XA driver and
    an XA transaction. Your workarounds are:
    1 - Use an XA driver, datasource, and tx
    2 - If you're just reading, you can use non-transactional datasources. Do make sure you
    always close your connections...

  • Multiple Keyword Sets (For Multiple Databases)

    I work with several different Lightroom databases and it would be nice to be able to have separate sets of keywords that go with each database.
    In my specific case, I use one database for my personal photographic endeavors and another for an image library for our church. The keywords tags used for my Nature photography images and the tags used for the event photography shots for church are very different. Hence, there are lots of keywords in both libraries that have zero images attached to them.
    It would be very useful in you could allow multiple keyword sets to track with multiple databases.

    There issues'Purge unused Keywords' option under Menu/Metadata.
    Don't ya know.

    may be you can try the following:
    1) create a file named new_target.xml with the following:
    <Target TYPE="oracle_database" NAME="DBAPV9.WORLD" DISPLAY_NAME="DBAPV9">
    <Property NAME="OracleHome" VALUE="/opt/oracle/app/oraadm9i/product/9.2.0.4"/>
    <Property NAME="UserName" VALUE="sys" ENCRYPTED="FALSE"/>
    <Property NAME="password" VALUE="thepassword" ENCRYPTED="FALSE"/>
    <Property NAME="Role" VALUE="sysdba"/>
    <Property NAME="MachineName" VALUE="machine.domain"/>
    <Property NAME="Port" VALUE="1521"/>
    <Property NAME="SID" VALUE="DBAPV9"/>
    </Target>
