Connecting to ASM

Dear All
How does one conect to an ASM instance when thereis also a standard database instance running. I am trying to use SQLPLUS on the database server itself (10.1.0.3) using:
connect / as sysdba
However this just connects me to the database instance (named edm).
I've tried using @+ASM1 but get TNS Listener errors.
The purpose of logging on is to remove a diskgroup. Am I doing something totally wrong or is there a problem?
Any thoughts/views?
Thanks
Paul

Light1 = Use the same version for ASM, CRS, and Database.
Light2 = Run the cluster verify tool and post the report.
Light3 = 10.2.0.1 is unpatched and within a few months of entering extended support mode.

ASMCMD-08103: failed to connect to ASM; ASMCMD running in non-connected mod

Hi,
I am facing below problem.
ASMCMD-08103: failed to connect to ASM; ASMCMD running in non-connected mode
ASMCMD-08102: no connection to ASM; command requires ASM to run
Probable reasons are:
1. ORACLE_SID is not set properly
2. ASM instance is not running.
But my ORACLE_SID is set properly and ASM instance is also running...
What else i can check?
Thanks,

ORA-15000 when Connect to ASM with ASMSNMP

With ASM of 11g2 on Redhat 5, I tried to connect the instance with ASMSNMP but failed[grid@cchordrdb admin]$ sqlplus / as sysasm
SQL> conn asmsnmp/asmsnmp@ASM
ERROR:

Normal/expected,
You have 2 options. Or via OS autentication (I guess in your case login as grid user and sqlplus / as sysasm) or via password file (connect usu/pwd@inst as sysasm).

Question about how a RAC database connects to ASM

I have recently installed Grid Clusterware 11.2.0.1 on an IBM PSeries server running AIX. Today, I installed the Oracle database software, version 11.2.0.1, but when I try to start the database, I get an error message: ORA-01031: insufficient privileges.
I can log in to the ASM instance using "sys as sysdba" but when I try to log in to ASM as "sys as sysasm" then I get the same error message.
Obviously I have configured something incorrectly. I would appreciate any help locating the proper documentation so I can correct my errors. All advice is greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Hi,
Regarding the AIX group "asmdba", we do not have separate administrators to handle the administration of ASM in 11g. I read in the documentation (Grid Infrastructure Installation Guide) that if separate administrators are not wanted for ASM and the database(s), then "asmdba" group is optional. Would you recommend creating this group anyway?I agree to create OS group asmdba it's mandatory only if you are using different user to GUI Install.
But it's a question of organization of the environment. Each group will designate different kinds of permissions and different roles.
So, Although the ASM come built into Oracle Database (actually 11.2 and higher Oracle has created a new layer called Grid Infrastructure), Clusterware, ASM and Database products are completely different for different purposes. With the evolution of these products believe that the tendency is they have their own installation and administration. Yet all will work together.
Create a group asmdba will not impact the current environment, only will help keep the environment more organized to the future. Look on the bright side, if one day you need of group asmdba, you does not need to re-configure the environment.
Correcting my previous post the group that has permission to access as SYSASM privilege is asmadmin instead of asmdba.
Cheers,
Levi Pereira

ASM Connection Pool Process

Dears,
Since the last restart (16 days ago) I verify some (11) Active ASM Connection Pool Process running on the instance 1 of the database and no similar process running on instance 2.
Those processes are ACTIVE since the start of DB (23.000 minutes).
They have 2 kinds of Wait Events:
SQL*Net message from client
class slave wait
I verify the documentation and find those processes are created on demand to maintains a connection with ASM for Metadata operation. So, my question is why those processes are still ACTIVE? Is it normal?
Environment:
Oracle version 11.2.0.2.0 - running on RAC (2 instances) with ASM
OS – Linux RHEL 5.6
Regards,

Please define active. From what I understand, "class slave wait" is an idle event and does not consume CPU time. It is necessary for communication between database and ASM instance.

Can't create database using ASM (SOLVED)

Hi all
I'm trying to use ASM for the first time, on Oracle 10.2.0.1 on Solaris x64.
I have installed the ASM instance into /opt/oracle/asm/10.2.0 and created disk groups. I have cssd running OK. I am able to start and stop the ASM instance without problems, and I can select from v$asm_diskgroup to confirm that disks are mounted OK.
I have then installed Oracle EE separately into /opt/oracle/server/10.2.0. I first did a software only install, and now I am trying to create a DB.
The problems come when I try to use this ASM instance to host a new database. I first tried to use DBCA to create a new database, but on database creation I got the following errors:
ORA-00200: control file could not be created
ORA-00202: control file: '+DBLIVE1'
ORA-17502: ksfdcre:4 Failed to create file +DBLIVE1
ORA-15001: diskgroup "DBLIVE1" does not exist or is not mounted
ORA-15055: Message 15055 not found; No message file for product=RDBMS, facility=ORA
ORA-01031: insufficient privileges
I then told DBCA just to create the DB creation scripts, and I tried manually running these with SQL*Plus.
When doing it with SQL*PLus, I initially got the same error as shown above. But then something changed (sorry, not sure what), and now the error I get is:
CREATE DATABASE "NEONREL1"
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-01501: CREATE DATABASE failed
ORA-00349: failure obtaining block size for '+DBLIVE1'
ORA-01031: insufficient privileges
I've put some debug info below, showing me succesfully connecting to the ASM instance and then attempting to create the DB using the db creation scripts, showing the error at the end. You can see that the oracle OS user is able to connect fine to ASM, then I swithc ORACLE_SID and ORACLE_HOME to the EE install and try to create the DB, at which point it apparently can't connect to ASM any more.
I've tried the DB creation many times, and in between attempts I completely empty $ORACLE_HOME/admin/<dbname> and delete the files related to the attempted install from $ORACLE_HOME/dbs/ . I've also stopping/starting ASM, rebooting, and I've done the install of ASM and EE a couple of times over in case I made any mistakes in my earlier attempts.
Any help would be much appreciated!
Tom

Update: I've worked out the difference between the two sets of errors I get.
The basic error is this:
ORA-00200: control file could not be created
ORA-00202: control file: '+DBLIVE1'
ORA-17502: ksfdcre:4 Failed to create file +DBLIVE1
ORA-15001: diskgroup "DBLIVE1" does not exist or is not mounted
ORA-15055: Message 15055 not found; No message file for product=RDBMS, facility=ORA
ORA-01031: insufficient privileges
However if my init.ora contains the line:
control_files=/opt/oracle/server/10.2.0/dbs/cntrlNEONREL1.dbf
then I instead get the second error:
CREATE DATABASE "NEONREL1"
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-01501: CREATE DATABASE failed
ORA-00349: failure obtaining block size for '+DBLIVE1'
ORA-01031: insufficient privileges
So basically these must be the same error, just in the second case I'm not trying to put the control file on the ASM so it fails at a different point.
But both errors must be because of the same cause, I suppose.

Create a new user for oracle 10G ASM instance with sysdba system privilege

Hi,
In our Golden Gate Project, we require the SYS user credential to connect to the Oracle 10g ASM instance to read the database transaction logs.But our client is not providing the SYS user credential to connnect to ASM instance.
I'm getting the error message "ORA-01109: database not open",When I tried to create a new user using the below the steps in oracle 10g ASM instance
1. Login using "sqlplus / as sysdba"
2. Create user <username> identified by <password>;
But in oracle 11g ASM instance, I'm able to create new user by connecting the ASM instance with SYSASM role without issues.
Is there is any workaround to create a new user with sysdba system privilege in oracle 10g ASM instance?.
Thanks in advance .

Hi,
Recreate the password file for the ASM instance as follows:
Unix:
orapwd file=<ORACLE_HOME>/dbs/PWD<SID> password=<sys_password>
Windows:
orapwd file=<ORACLE_HOME>/database/PWD<SID>.ora password=<sys_password>
Now sys password is reset, we are ready to use sys for ASM management. I decided to create another user ASMDBA as I tried above.
SQL> create user ASMDBA identified by test01;
User created.
SQL> grant SYSASM, SYSOPER to ASMDBA;
Grant succeeded.
SQL> select * from v$pwfile_users;
USERNAME SYSDBA SYSOPE SYSASM
SYS TRUE TRUE TRUE
ASMDBA FALSE TRUE TRUE
Please see this link : http://orachat.com/how-to-change-asm-sys-password-creating-sysasm-user-11g/
Thank you

Thanks both
Really the problem initially was because of this:
[INS-06006] Passwordless SSH connectivity not set up between the following node(s): [node1, node2]. CVU may reports "PRVF-4007 : User equivalence check failed for user "user"" for same error
and I had to install node1 first and after node2 manually and perhaps for this the product was not well linked.
I resolved the problem establishing the keys with the wizard and after copying the following files from node1 to node2
/home/grid/.ssh -------> /home/grid/.ssh

Which credentials to be used for ftp login to asm content via xml

Hello,
we've got some databases running in an Oracle 11.2 RAC environment with ASM.
XML DB for FTP is activated and a connection can be established.
The documentation recommends to connect with user SYSTEM, which I don't understand,
since the target is the ASM instance and not a user's database.
As far as I know there is only user SYS (and one SNMP user) defined in ASM -
and in fact I get remotely connected to ASM with user SYS and its corresponding password.
The user SYSTEM ist defined in each of our four user databases that are clients to only one ASM instance;
each has got a different password and so I ask, which user SYSTEM should be used for FTP to ASM data ?
Is there any documentation about that ? I couldn't find any so far.
Thanks and kind regards,
Bernd

You made this case clearer to me now, but your last question ist exactly the point in question.
Meanwhile I found the password for the correct database, i.e. "sogabo" (there are only 2, not 4 DBs configured).
Here is the output from the listener status command, that maybe can help:

Difference between ASM Disk Group, ADVM Volume and ACFS File system

Q1. What is the difference between an ASM Disk Group and an ADVM Volume ?
To my mind, an ASM Disk Group is effectively a logical volume for Database files ( including FRA files ).
11gR2 seems to have introduced the concepts of ADVM volumes and ACFS File Systems.
An 11gR2 ASM Disk Group can contain :
ASM Disks
ADVM volumes
ACFS file systems
Q2. ADVM volumes appear to be dynamic volumes.
However is this therefore not effectively layering a logical volume ( the ADVM volume ) beneath an ASM Disk Group ( conceptually a logical volume as well ) ?
Worse still if you have left ASM Disk Group Redundancy to the hardware RAID / SAN level ( as Oracle recommend ), you could effectively have 3 layers of logical disk ? ( ASM on top of ADVM on top of RAID/SAN ) ?
Q3. if it is 2 layers of logical disk ( i.e. ASM on top of ADVM ), what makes this better than 2 layers using a 3rd party volume manager ( eg ASM on top of 3rd party LVM ) - something Oracle encourages against ?
Q4. ACFS File systems, seem to be clustered file systems for non database files including ORACLE_HOMEs, application exe's etc ( but NOT GRID_HOME, OS root, OCR's or Voting disks )
Can you create / modify ACFS file systems using ASM.
The oracle toplogy diagram for ASM in the 11gR2 ASM Admin guide, shows ACFS as part of ASM. I am not sure from this if ACFS is part of ASM or ASM sits on top of ACFS ?
Q5. Connected to Q4. there seems to be a number of different ways, ACFS file systems can be created ? Which of the below are valid methods ?
through ASM ?
through native OS file system creation ?
through OEM ?
through acfsutil ?
my head is exploding
Any help and clarification greatly appreciated
Jim

Q1 - ADVM volume is a type of special file created in the ASM DG. Once created, it creates a block device on the OS itself that can be used just like any other block device. http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E16655_01/server.121/e17612/asmfilesystem.htm#OSTMG30000
Q2 - the asm disk group is a disk group, not really a logical volume. It combines attributes of both when used for database purposes, as the database and certain other applications know how to talk "ASM" protocol. However, you won't find any general purpose applications that can do so. In addition, some customers prefer to deal directly with file systems and volume devices, which ADVM is made to do. In your way of thinking, you could have 3 layers of logical disk, but each of them provides different attributes and characteristics. This is not a bad thing though, as each has a slightly different focus - os file system\device, database specific, and storage centric.
Q3 - ADVM is specifically developed to extend the characteristics of ASM for use by general OS applications. It understands the database performance characteristics and is tuned to work well in that situation. Because it is developed in house, it takes advantage of the ASM design model. Additionally, rather than having to contact multiple vendors for support, your support is limited to calling Oracle, a one-stop shop.
Q4 - You can create and modify ACFS file systems using command line tools and ASMCA. Creating and modifying logical volumes happens through SQL(ASM), asmcmd, and ASMCA. EM can also be used for both items. ACFS sits on top of ADVM, which is a file in an ASM disk group. ACFS is aware of the characteristics of ASM\ADVM volumes, and tunes it's IO to make best use of those characteristics.
Q5 - several ways:
1) Connect to ASM with SQL, use 'alter diskgroup add volume' as Mihael points out. This creates an ADVM volume. Then, format the volume using 'mkfs' (*nix) or acfsformat (windows).
2) Use ASMCA - A gui to create a volume and format a file system. Probably the easiest if your head is exploding.
3) Use 'asmcmd' to create a volume, and 'mkfs' to format the ACFS file system.
Here is information on ASMCA, with examples:

Asm diskgroup does not exist or not mounted

Hi,
iam have configured a 2 node cluster and now when i rebooted and again started my rac database so all the applications are offline so i stop them with crs_stop and then restarted but my databases asm and instance service is not up so in that case i tried to connect to database or to instance but i was not able to so then i thought of connecting to asm instance and then the status is as follows
SQL> select name ,state ,mount_status from v$asm_disk ;

Hi,
Sir i wait for many times but the major issue is iam facing that all aplications when i start my machine are offline or unknown........ then when i exec crsctl stop crs and crsctl start crs i wait a lot and then i exec crrs_stat t that time all applications are either unknown or offline............ then i stop forcily all applications which are unknown finally bring all to offline status and then restart but in this case i exec srvctl start nodeapps - n rac1 and nrac2 these things work but tried with database or service or instnace that ownt work it give me the following error
and then i sart instance or database through sqlplus and if i do any transcations then i get the follwoing error .........
