COLD BACKUP DATABASE CLONING with +ASM

Hi,
I need some help to clone the database using Cold backup with +ASM. Can somebody help me on this
Here is the steps we did on Source Database.
1. Copied all the $ORACLE_HOME from Source to TARGET.
2. Created pfile from spfile.
3. Created backup control file on the Source.
Questions:
=======
1. Source has 3 diskgroups, do we need to create new 3 disk groups on the TARGET ?
2. If we needed 3 new disk groups on TARGET, how can we move all the data from SOURCE diskgroup to TARGET disk group, Do we need to use RMAN?
Please let me know what else need to do to bring up the TARGET database.
Thanks
Dheeru.

Hi,
1. Source has 3 diskgroups, do we need to create new 3 disk groups on the TARGET ?Not necessarily.
2. If we needed 3 new disk groups on TARGET, how can we move all the data from SOURCE diskgroup to TARGET disk group, Do we need to use RMAN? Yes, use RMAN to clone/duplicate the database.

Oracle Apps 11i Cloning with +ASM 10g Database

Hi,
Can somebody help Apps cloning on the issue facing. Please provide in detailed process Apps Cloning with +ASM.
Trying to Clone 11i Apps environment(11.5.10.2) and Db 10.2.0.4. The database is on +ASM.
1. Copied all the application files from SOURCE to TARGET ( source and target are different servers)
2. Database restored from source and the TARGET database is up and running( Database servers TARGET and SOURCE are 2 different servers.
3. As per doc id 230672.1 , preclone was successful in apps and db servers.
ISSUE:
=====
As per doc id 230672.1 , if we run adcfgclone on database server that messedup the database which is running already on the TARGET server, because adcfgclone recreate control files and all which is already intact for us in +ASM.
Question:
======
1. do we still need to do anything on the TARGER database server? if need to run , please provide the detailed steps
2. Do we need to run adcfgclone on apps server? please provide the detailed steps.
Thank You,
Dheeru.

Yes, restored and the database is up and running.
Then i ran adcfgclone dbtier on database which messedup whole database. Deleted all the file in ASM disk groups and try to restore the database threw RMAN.
Got new error, Please see below.
In the first run previously i got same error but fixed by creating control_files='+LASR','+FLASH' in pfile, again it's giving same error.
Also pasting PFILE.
Any idea on this.

Can cold backup be taken for ASM managed oracle 10g databases

Can cold backup be taken for ASM managed oracle 10g databases
Pls help

do we still need to take cold backupYou need to take backup. Hot or cold depends on how your DB is running (archivelog or not).
Will we have file permisions for copyng Use RMAN and don't worry about that.

R12 Database Cloning with error AC-00423 / RC-50014

Hi Friends.
We have an R12.1.3 Application with 11gR2 database on a Sun Sparc solaris 10 machine.
From production cold backups, we are trying to clone a new test instance. The cloning is failing while configuring Oracle Home in DB Tier.
in the logs it shows:

As you can see in the log messages, it complains that the “adcrdb.sh” file is missing from the system.
As per note 549872.1 this error could be resolved by copying the missing “adcrdb.sh” file from the source environment. However, we tried it and it’s not working for us. The copied file gets deleted somewhere during the cloning process and it again fails complaining that the “adcrdb.sh” file is missing
Please help us in resolving this as its a bit urgent.
Thanks.

Benefits of Partitioning a Database running with ASM

Hi All,
I am trying to understand the additional benefits of performing partitioning of table space on a database which is running with ASM.
Further I wish to understand the approach followed by other teams for partitioning tables and the benfits they reaped out of using ILM.
Regards,
Vinod Dudeja

I would make sure you set all the Kernel parameters correctly in the install guide.
So ASM is already running and you are creating the DB or you are trying to create an ASM instance?
Also found this on Metalink:
Applies to:
Oracle Server - Enterprise Edition - Version: 9.2.0.4
SUSE \ UnitedLinux x86-64
Red Hat Enterprise Linux Advanced Server x86-64 (AMD Opetron Architecture)
Linux x86-64
Symptoms
When trying to increase the SGA to approach half available RAM with an Oracle 64bit version on a Linux 64bit operating system, even though shmmax is set to match half the amount of RAM, you get the following error when trying to start the instance:
SQL> startup nomount
ORA-27102: out of memory
Linux-x86_64 Error: 28: No space left on device
Changes
shmall is set to default at 2097152
Cause
shmall is number of pages of shared memory to be made available system-wide.
Solution
Set shmall equal to shmmax divided by the page size.
FYI: The page size can be seen using the following command:
$ getconf PAGE_SIZE
Errors
ORA-27102 out of memory

Test cold backup database in archive mode

Hello,
We doing every week a cold backup from Oracle database, us database is in archive mode.
We would like to test us cold backup in other server but the drive where we have to copy
the datafiles and logs and rollback are different on this server.
In the production server the oracle_home and the oracle_sid:
ORACLE_HOME=E:\oracle\product\10.2.0\db_1
ORACLE_SID=ENCY
and on the other server to test the backup are:
ORACLE_HOME=I:\oracle\product\10.2.0\db_2
ORACLE_SID=ENCY
Can somebody help me saying please the steps that I have to follow to restore the database in other server
to test if the last cold backup is fine?
My understand is copy the files(datafiles, log files, control files, pfile,...) in the new server, when everything is copied into new server,
I have to:
Modify the parameter CONTROL_FILES in the pfile
Mount the database and rename the datafiles and redolog files
Thanks.

I have to:
Modify the parameter CONTROL_FILES in the pfile
Mount the database and rename the datafiles and redolog filesYou shoud modify and rename only in case if path to datafiles, redologs, controlfiles, dump, archive log directories is different on test server.
If that will be the same, then no need to rename.
If it is different, then modify pfile in order to meet correct one paths.

Database installation with ASM

Hello,
I just install a new RAC server with 2 nodes.
Linux RedHat4 /oracle 10gR2.
I have a disk RAID5 : /dev/sdc--->/dev/raw/raw1
RAID5 : /dev/sdc--->/dev/raw/raw2
RAID1 : /dev/sdd--->/dev/raw/raw3
When I create my database I need to put my datafiles in RAID5 and my redologs in RAID1.
How I can do this with ASM? I have to create 3 disk groups (+DATA,+FRA and +REDOLOG)?

You dedicate disks to an ASM diskgroup in the CREATE DISKGROUP statement. If you have 2 disks (one RAID5, one RAID1) you can have only 2 diskgroups. The first one points to RAID5 (datafiles), the second one to RAID1 (redologs). Later on you have to put datafiles into group1 and redologs into group2.
This document is a good description, how to deal with ASM:

Database creation with ASM using dbca

hi all,
i found the steps to create the database using ASM diskgroup.
but i received errors when configuring the FRA(flash recovery area), DBF(normal), +ARCH(archival dest),
i tried atleast 2 to 3 times from scratch but found the same error....................

Create Virtual Disks from VM Ware software when server is down.
Choose Edit Virtual Machine Settings.
Click on Add button
Press Next and Highlight Hard Disk, then click Next

•     Start up the server OraWorld1
•     Go to Disk Management and you will be prompted with a screen which should display all five disks with a check mark. Accept defaults and Click next.
•     On second script all five will be unchecked, click Next
•     Press Finish to complete and you should see all 5 disks as Type Basic Unallocated. For each of the disk perform:
1.     Right click, New Partition, Extended Partition and Finish
2.     Right click, New Logical drive, Do not assign drive letter nor partition it.
3.     From command prompt type Diskpart and enter Automount enable.
4.     From command prompt, configure basic CRS services as
5.     C:\oracle\product\10.2.0\db_1>localconfig add
6.     C:\oracle\product\10.2.0\db_1>localconfig add
7.     Step 1: creating new OCR repository

•     Launch DBCA and choose Configure Storage Management.
•     Select Create New group, choose stamp disks which will show you all of your five disks. Configure ASM links to all these disks as:
1.     ORCLDISKASMDBF1 \Device\Harddisk1\Partition1
2.     ORCLDISKASMDBF2 \Device\Harddisk2\Partition1
3.     ORCLDISKASMFRA \Device\Harddisk3\Partition1
4.     ORCLDISKASMREDO \Device\Harddisk4\Partition1
5.     ORCLDISKASMARCH \Device\Harddisk5\Partition1
Now make Change Disk Discovery Path as Null and you should see all disks.
Now create Disk groups as :
ARCH \\.\ORCLDISKASMARCH External 1GB
REDO \\.\ORCLDISKASMREDO External 1GB
FRA \\.\ORCLDISKASMFRA External 2GB
DBF (MAIN GROUP WITH 2 SUB-GROUPS) Must create as Normal Redundancy
DBFP \\.\ORCLDISKASMDBF1 External 2GB
DBFS \\.\ORCLDISKASMDBF2 External 2GB
You now have a running ASM instance on the server.
•     Checking ASM instance
You can always use DBCA to check settings of ASM.
Alternatively, go to command prompt:
Set ORACLE_SID=+ASM
Sqlplus /nolog
Connect sys/password as sysdba
Show sga (80MB)
Total System Global Area 83886080 bytes
Fixed Size 1247420 bytes
Variable Size 57472836 bytes
ASM Cache 25165824 bytes
SQL>desc You can then check C:\oracle\product\10.2.0\db_1\database for these files. You can also view v$parameter for all possible values for ASM instance.
+asm.asm_diskgroups='DATA1','ARCH','REDO','FRA','DBF'#Manual Mount
*.asm_diskgroups='DATA1','ARCH','REDO','FRA','DBF'
*.asm_diskstring=''
*.background_dump_dest='C:\oracle\product\10.2.0\admin\+ASM\bdump'
*.core_dump_dest='C:\oracle\product\10.2.0\admin\+ASM\cdump'
*.instance_type='asm'
*.large_pool_size=12M
*.remote_login_passwordfile='SHARED'
*.user_dump_dest='C:\oracle\product\10.2.0\admin\+ASM\udump'
You can change some of the values like large pool and even db cache size. You can also manually create the disk group as:
Create diskgroup DBF NORMAL redundancy
Failgroup flgrp1 disk ‘\\.\ORCLDISKDATA0’, ‘\\.\ORCLDISKDATA1’
Failgroup flgrp2 disk ‘\\.\ORCLDISKDATA2’, ‘\\.\ORCLDISKDATA3’;
Check Candidate disks:
select group_number, disk_number, mount_status, header_status, state, path from v$asm_disk;
Other useful queries:
Select group_number, name, total_mb, free_mb, state, type
From v$asm_diskgroup;
Select group_number, disk_number, mount_status, header_status, state, path, failgroup
From v$asm_disk;
You can use sql commands to perform most of the ASM tasks, however EM console can also be used here

Strange, those messages are RMAN backup errors -- are you trying to backup the database?
Or...if you selected "create starter database" it may be that dbca is not finding the backup files from the "demo" database.
:p

Database cloning using ASM disks

Hi,
I have 2 node RAC DB running on linux using ASM. This is E-business suite application. Disks are EMC now. Want to clone another environment using HP and Netapp disks. Can someone direct me to a link or document showing the cloning of DB using ASM.
Thanks
Anitha

CONVERT* parameters not supported with OMF
check documentation to confirm
"The DB_FILE_NAME_CONVERT initialization parameter cannot be used to control generation of new names for files at the duplicate instance which are Oracle Managed Files (OMF) at the target instance."

Restore Oracle DB Backup on RAC with ASM on Standalone server

Dear Experts,
We have our Production Enviornment on Linux as OS and Oracle DB on RAC and ASM. We are taking the backup through DB13 of Production system.
We want to rectify whether the above backup is restorable or not. For this, we want to restore the backup on Single Standalone system without RAC and ASM.
My questions is 1) Is it possible to restore database from RAC and ASM to normal Standalone server ?
2) If possible, can anyone let me know the challenges we could face during the same procedure.
Looking forward for suggestions.
Regards,
KK

Hi Ketul,
I suppose restoration can be done to standalone system using brtools.
Refer steps in
SAP note 1627541 - BR*Tools support for Oracle ASM and Exadata/ODA
905359 - Using BR*Tools for Oracle RAC databases
Hope this helps.

11gR2 Database Installation with ASM - NOT RAC

Hi ,
Im littel bet confused about the "Grid Infrastructure" in 11gR2.
In oracle 10gR2 i had to install oracle software twice.
1. one for the rdbms instance and the second software on for the ASM instance.
2. Then from the asm home i run dbca and choose "configure automatic storage management" and continue with the installation.
3. Finally i run dbca from the rdbms home and attached the dabs to the asm.
11gR2 intreduce the "Grid Infrastructure" also asm with for non-rac installation .
I would like to know if i still need to install twice the oracle software (once for the asm home and second for the rdbms home) and
only then continue with the "Grid Infrastructure" , or the : "Grid Infrastructure" already contain the asm software , for the asm home
Thanks

Is that true that you have to install a separate set of binaries for ASM and one for the RDBMS. I don't think it is in either 10g or 11gr1.
I do know that in 11gr2 you only need one home for the ASM_HOME and CRS_HOME which saves one installation.

Database creation with ASM: Out of Memory Error.

Greetings,
So I'm running DBCA, choose my ASM configuration, the first thing that sticks out to me is that the password I enter fails, but it still allows me to choose the ASM container. Go forward, choose my options, hit finish, and right out of the gate in the "Creating and Starting Oracle Instance" phase, I get an:
ORA-27102: out of memory
There are no other instances on this RHEL 4 installation. There's 32GB of Memory. Any ideas??
Thanks!

I would make sure you set all the Kernel parameters correctly in the install guide.
So ASM is already running and you are creating the DB or you are trying to create an ASM instance?
Also found this on Metalink:
Applies to:
Oracle Server - Enterprise Edition - Version: 9.2.0.4
SUSE \ UnitedLinux x86-64
Red Hat Enterprise Linux Advanced Server x86-64 (AMD Opetron Architecture)
Linux x86-64
Symptoms
When trying to increase the SGA to approach half available RAM with an Oracle 64bit version on a Linux 64bit operating system, even though shmmax is set to match half the amount of RAM, you get the following error when trying to start the instance:
SQL> startup nomount
ORA-27102: out of memory
Linux-x86_64 Error: 28: No space left on device
Changes
shmall is set to default at 2097152
Cause
shmall is number of pages of shared memory to be made available system-wide.
Solution
Set shmall equal to shmmax divided by the page size.
FYI: The page size can be seen using the following command:
$ getconf PAGE_SIZE
Errors
ORA-27102 out of memory

Please suggest.

Umesh,
Since it is case of Ora 600, for which only last solution is oracle support, but i would like to mention that your are getting ORA-00600: internal error code, arguments: [4193].... So, this 4193 is cause to read following links too:
http://www.orafaq.com/forum/t/47048/2/ and. see Metalink note 153788.1 and 39282.1.

Database cloning in 10g RAC

hi any body help me,
How to clone using rman in Oracle 10g R2 RAC environment.

step by step documentation for cloning RAC database.

hope, this helps you.

Recover a cold backup in another BD.

Somebody can help me, i have a doubt, Can I Restore the datafiles from a cold backup (DataBase A) in a Database B?

If you executed the command "alter database backup controlfile to trace" the trace will generated in the "udump" directory. From there you can edit file. REMEMBER- Give the original copy of the backup file (do not move the files). Do a copy.
Here's a sample if you want recreate the SID name. Noted you have to modify the location if the paths are difference.
STARTUP NOMOUNT
CREATE CONTROLFILE REUSE DATABASE "TESTDB" RESETLOGS ARCHIVELOG
MAXLOGFILES 16
MAXLOGMEMBERS 5
MAXDATAFILES 100
MAXINSTANCES 8
MAXLOGHISTORY 1168

GROUP 2 '/data/oracle/TESTDB/redo02a.log' SIZE 100M,
GROUP 3 '/data/oracle/TESTDB/redo03a.log' SIZE 100M
-- STANDBY LOGFILE

If you want to change the SID the use the command
CREATE CONTROLFILE SET DATABASE "NEWTEST" RESETLOGS ARCHIVELOG
