How to modify Oracle ASM instance parameters ?
Thank's

I think your response is not correct. The ASM instance will require a parameter file, just like any other Oracle instance. As of 11gR2, the ASM spfile is stored automatically in the first disk group created during the Grid Infrastructure installation.
The trick is that ASM can read the spfile stored on ASM disks through the css cluster daemon and reading the ASM device header. People here in the forum and on the Internet have written good and detailed information about this, for instance:
Where is my Oracle ASM Instance spfile

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

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:
[oracle@rac01 ~]$ crs_stat -t

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).

Martin.

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
NAME=ora.rac01.ASM1.asm
TYPE=application
ACTIVE_PLACEMENT=0
*AUTO_START*=1
CHECK_INTERVAL=600
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
$ crs_stat -p ora.rac01.ASM1.asm > ORA_CRS_HOME/crs/public/ora.rac01.ASM1.asm

How to clean the asm instance from RAC manually

for some reason i run crs_unregister asm and crs_unregister lsnr to remove the asm and listener resource from crs yesterday
and today i want rebuild the asm instance ,so i run dbca again ,but error
Error when starting ASM instance on node rac1: PRKS-1009 : Failed to start ASM instance "+ASM1" on node "rac1", [PRKS-1011 : Failed to check status of ASM instance "+ASM1" on node "rac1", [CRS-0210: Could not find resource ora.rac1.ASM1.asm.]]
[PRKS-1011 : Failed to check status of ASM instance "+ASM1" on node "rac1", [CRS-0210: Could not find resource ora.rac1.ASM1.asm.]]
DBCA could not startup the ASM instance on node: rac1. Manual intervention is required to recreate these instances. If you choose to proceed, ASM diskgroups will not be mounted on non-started remote ASM instances. Do you want to proceed with ASM diskgroup management?
and problem is how to do this "Manual intervention is required to recreate these instances", I already do 1, dd the asm disk, 2, remove the +ASM directory from $ORACLE_BASE, 3,clean ASM info from /etc/oratab, so what i can do next ?
i try restart crs ,now the error info is different !!
[oracle@rac1 ~]$ dbca -silent -responseFile /home/oracle/dbca.rsp
Look at the log file "/opt/ora/product/10.2.0/db_1/cfgtoollogs/dbca/silent6.log"

Hi,
Can you post the dbca log?
and do you share the asm home with oracle home? if it is separated then add LISTENER_+ASM1 in tnsnames in ASMHOME, otherwise add it in ORACLEHOME
Cheers

Cannot see EMC PowerPath devices from ASM instance on Solaris 10 x86

Hello,
I'm trying to use EMC PowerPath devices as ASM disks, but cannot see any usable disk
from the ASM instance.
My configuration:
Hardware: Sun X4600M2
Solaris 10 8/07 x86_64
EMC PowerPath 5.0.2_b030
Oracle 10.2.0.1.0
The PP devices are /dev/rdsk/emcpower* which are softlinks to the correpsonding /devices/pseudo/emcp*.
Since I know that these devices must have suitable permissions, I've set ownership and
permission of e.g. /devices/pseudo/emcp@1:a,raw to oracle:dba and 660. The ASM instance's
init.ora file has *.asm_diskstring='/dev/rdsk/emcpower*', so I assume it will scan all
/dev/rdsk/emcpower* softlinks and fetch the ones with sufficient permissions. But nonetheless
a 'select count(*) from v$asm_disk' gives me 0, i.e. nothing.
I've just read some recommendations of using slice 6 of the disk with partition type 'usr', but
this seems to me quite superficial. I would like to use simply slice (=partition) 0 starting from
cylinder 1.
I would be very glad for any solution.
Best regards
Udo

Problem solved.
After some tests with plain files instead of devices via undocumented parameter
asmallow_only_raw_disks=false in order to check ASM functionality,
I've finally created new node devices only for oracle (and set_asm_allow... back to true).
original EMC PowerPath pseudo devices (e.g.):
-bash-3.00$ ls -l /devices/pseudo/emcp@13:a,raw
crw------- 1 root sys 215, 832 Dec 10 15:29 /devices/pseudo/emcp@13:a,raw
corresponding new character device with proper ownership and permissions:
-bash-3.00$ ls -l /u01/app/ora-dev/raw/emcp13a
crw-rw---- 1 oracle dba 215, 832 Dec 10 14:56 /u01/app/ora-dev/raw/emcp13a
With *.asm_diskstring='/u01/app/ora-dev/raw/emcp*' in ASM-instance's init.ora,
I was able to see the devices via select * from v$asm_disk and could create the
ASM diskgroups.
Regards
Udo

Trouble using asm instance for new database

I have an asm instance and am trying to create a new database that will use the asm storage. I'm using dbca to create the new database. This is a test system on windows so I'm using the asmtool -create flatfiles for disks with the asmallow_only_raw_disks parameter set to false.
If I have #SQLNET.AUTHENTICATION_SERVICES = (NTS) commented out in my sqlnet.ora, then I can't get into asmcmd:
ORA-01031: insufficient privileges (DBD ERROR: OCISessionBegin)
and dbca won't create the new database that uses asm because the dbca gets the same 01031 error when trying to create the control files for that database.
If I have SQLNET.AUTHENTICATION_SERVICES = (NTS) NOT commented out, the I can get into asmcmd, but I can't startup the databases using sys, even though I am sitting at the server,
AND, dbca won't create the new database that uses asm becuase the dbca can't start the instance
credential retrieval failure.
I'm in a catch 22. Something is not right with my system but I just can't seem to figure out what it is.
The asm instance does have a password file.

I let the dbca create scripts and am currently walking through the scripts. I think it's my asm database that is actually creating the problem. I did the orapwd and oradim manually and can startup nomount the instance just fine. The create database statement fails on creating the controlfile but it's saying it already exists. I suspected the dbca form wasn't giving me all the errors like it should.
Thanks for your suggestion on the password file.

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. After solving some stupid problem, (see [rootupgrade.sh failed on 11g R1 to R2 Upgrade |http://forums.oracle.com/forums/thread.jspa?threadID=1005424&tstart=0]) so that all services can be started in both nodes, I am trying to upgrade ASM.
I am trying asmca. But it is unable to detect the 11g R1 ASM instance. When started in GUI mode, it just offer to create ASM. When started in silent mode for upgrade, it shows:

Hi 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,
Markus

FerOracle can not find pfile/spfile for ASM instance to starting.How you created ASM instance? manually or using DBCA?
You actually configured or nor configured ASM instance?.Can you post there parameter file of this ASM instance?
if you have extact name/path of pfile of ASM instance then
export ORACLE_SID=+ASM

Cause:     ASM was unable to find a sufficient number of disks belonging to the diskgroup to continue the operation.
Action:     Check that the disks in the diskgroup are present and functioning, that the owner of the ORACLE binary has read/write permission to the disks, and that the ASM_DISKSTRING initialization parameter has been set correctly. Verify that ASM discovers the appropriate disks by querying V$ASM_DISK from the ASM instance.

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?
LSNRCTL> services
Service "+ASM" has 1 instance(s).

Can there be multiple ASM instances on single node?

Hi,
Can there be multiple ASM instances on single node?
This one says No : http://www.freelists.org/archives/oracle-l/02-2008/msg00317.html
And This one says Yes : http://www.databasejournal.com/features/oracle/article.php/3571371
Thanks in advance.
Thanks,
Harsha

...that document doesnt say you cannot have multiple ASM instances on a node. It says "...ASM, +you only need one ASM+ instance for that computer, to manage the two database instances that use ASM."
The fact that you only need one - and I cannot think of a good reason to have more than one - does not preclude the fact that you do seem to be able to have multiple ASM instances on a single node, each looking after its own set of disks and diskgroups.
Again - I cannot think of a good reason to do so though!
