Creating ASM instance on windows (manually)

Hi all,
Can anyone guide me steps how to create ASM instance (manually) on windows in Oracle 11g.
Because i am missing local config fine in <ORACLE_HOME>/bin folder in 11g
Regards,
Vikas Kohli

Hi,
From ASM HOME (%ORACLE_HOME%)
# To create a new config
Windows
%ORACLE_HOME%/bin/localconfig.bat add
# To recreate config
Windows
%ORACLE_HOME%/bin/localconfig.bat reset <ORACLE_HOME>Then using DBCA create/reconfigure ASM instance from ASM HOME.
I assume you are using version Oracle 11.1, if it's 11.2 ignore all above.
Hope this helps,

Intalling ASM instance on windows - 11gR1

I am getting this error when i used dbca to create asm instance on windows. I cant find the steps needed to resolve this error.
To create ASM instance, you should have OS authentication enabled, to connect as user with SYSASM system privilege refer installation guide on how to enable OS athentication for SYSASM
Any clues?
Regards

Hi,
The OS user you are logged in, should be the member of ORA_DBA group on the windows to administer the ASM. Make your group member of this group so that you have SYSASM privilege (like SYSDBA for normal database OS authentication).

Help while creating ASM instance on rac environment on Linux

Help while creating ASM instance on rac environment on Oracle enterprise Linux 4 x84_64 Update 5 (10g2).
a) Installed ASMLib 2.0 Packages
b) Configured and Loaded the ASMLib 2.0 Packages
c) Created ASM Disks for Oracle
d) I can see, three volumes already defined for ASM file system.
By running following command (on both node), I get following that means disk are detected.
/etc/init.d/oracleasm listdisks
VOL1
VOL2
VOL3
But Disk members not displayed for creating disk groups. I even tried to "Change Disk Discovery Path" button and put "ORCL:VOL*" but still no luck.
Someone told me use, use ADD DISKS button but this button is disabled for me.
Can anyone, please help me if I missing something.

*****SOLVED******
Thanks for reply..
I set the Change Disk Discovery Path" to /dev/oracleasm/disk/* instead of "ORCL:VOL* and this worked for me.

Trying to create ASM instance, thinks one already exists?

I've got a problem with creating the ASM instance. Basically, I've reinstalled (v11.1.0.6) clusterware, and two database software installs (one for asm, one for db) due to a san swap. Now, I believe that there is still a hangover to the original installation. When creating the ASM instance through DBCA on Windows, I get the following:
DBCA could not startup the ASM instance configured on this node. To proceed with ASM diskgroup management you need the ASM instance to be up and running. Do you want to recreate the ASM instance on this node?
Yes
Enter password
DBCA will now create and start the ASM instance. After the ASM instance is started, you can create disk groups to be used as storage for your database.
OK
ASM Instance Creation...
Encountered file error when copying listeners from home=D:\oracle\product\11.1.0\asm_2
OK
The operation will be stopped. Re-run DBCA after successfully running NetCA.
I have a listener running (listener_rac), I have a similar problem with netca as it says I already have a listener called listener, which I do not, however, I have created listener_rac instead.
I feel trhat the problem is that ASM1 (for node 1) or ASM2 (for node 2) already exists. However, I can not find either of these. I can create an ASM instance in single node mode, however, this creates an instance +ASM, which does not conflict.
How do I find the non-existent instance, and remove it? (not in registry or services)
Alternatively, any other ideas as to what is happening?
Thank you for your time.

I have a listener running (listener_rac), I have a similar problem with netca as it says I already have a listener called listener, which I do not, however, I have created listener_rac insteadDBCA created your listener... you can check on listener status
srvctl status nodeapps -n node01
Listener is running on node: node01
srvctl status nodeapps -n node02
Listener is running on node: node02
if not start, start it by
Usage: srvctl start listener -n <node_name> [-l <lsnr_name_list>]
srvctl start listener -n node01
by the way, you cam use "netca" delete/recreate (listener_rac)
After that, point to ASM:
I feel trhat the problem is that ASM1 (for node 1) or ASM2 (for node 2) already exists. However, I can not find either of these. What did you see?
crs_stat
srvctl status asm -n node01
srvctl status asm -n node02
if you see asm on node01/node2... you can start them if thet offline
srvctl start asm -n node01
srvctl start asm -n node02
and then.. use "DBCA" to help create ASM diskgroups.
I can create an ASM instance in single node mode, however, this creates an instance +ASM, which does not conflict.that can conflict.. don't start it (+ASM)
How do I find the non-existent instance, and remove it? (not in registry or services)
Alternatively, any other ideas as to what is happening?use "crs_stat" command
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B28359_01/rac.111/b28255/crsref.htm#CWADD6025

Yes you are right , I have to make to sure stock budget doesn't get credited.
If you remember in one of my other threads, i wanted to derive commitment item from Matl grp, it was for this purpose. I will derive commitment through matl group at the time of procurement / GR etc and assign a dummy commitment item to stock a/cs. Where as i will derive a consumption commiment item from consumption GLs.
Thank you

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

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 !!

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

Using DBCA to create ASM instance; no member disks found

OK, we've been struggling with this for two days and we can't seem to find the magic mojo to get it working.
I've got two Redhat 64-bit machines running Oracle 10.2.0.3 on them. Clusterware is installed fine and communicating properly. We've installed ASMLib and created our ASM disks fine and they list correctly using the oracleasm utility.
Our problem is that when I go to create the ASM instance (using DBCA) the member disks do not show up. I have tried changing the "Disk Discovery Path", I've created listeners, started DBCA from different Oracle homes, re-installed, etc... nothing seems to work.
I've even seen a few threads where people have experienced the same problem but have not seen solutions. Anyone have ideas how I can resolve this issue?

Also, I see that you're using block devices while I am using raw devices. I know that
Oracle11 can utilize block devices, especially on RHEL 5, but I am not sure that
Oracle10g can do that.

Creating ASM instance with dbca

Hi All
I have 3 questions
1 - Is the file needed to install ASM software is the same as the file need to install regular oracle software or they are 2 different installation files ?
2 - Do I need to create 2 oracle homes , one for ASM and one for regular oracle software or only one ORACLE_HOME is needed ?
3 - Do I need to run dbca once or twice to create the asm instance and database instance ?
Thanks
Edited by: user12302159 on Sep 25, 2010 12:58 PM

Hello,
1 - Is the file needed to install ASM software is the same as the file need to install regular oracle software or they are 2 different installation files ?
Answer:The regular database uses normal file system but asm uses Raw devices which is not a file system at all it is just an empty disk.
2 - Do I need to create 2 oracle homes , one for ASM and one for regular oracle software or only one ORACLE_HOME is needed ?
actually you will need oracle home and asm home yes in 11g release 2 they added something being called grid infra structure and they made the cluster home and the asm home and the grid home combined in one home but it is not being called oracle home because oracle home is just for the oracle software.
3 - Do I need to run dbca once or twice to create the asm instance and database instance ?
In 10g yes 2 times you will do that and you can run it once and after you install ASM it asks you if you want to do anything else so you can do it once or twice.in 11g release 2 you dont use the dbca anymore to isntall asm you just use the grid software.
Kind regards
Mohamed

Proble shutting down ASM instance on Windows 2003 server.

Thanks for your response. Yes I did stopped the database. I was having the same problem with the database ( as it was sitting there after I issued the shutdown immediate ). Finally I had to do shutdown abort, start up in restrict mode and do a shutdown again to stop the database gracefully

Trouble creating ASM instance

Hi,
I successfully installed clusterware and database and installed patchet 10.2.0.2 on a 2 node RAC (fresh installation).
I tried configuring ASM using DBCA but i am getting this message which doesnt make sense as its a RAC:
"The ASM instance configured on the local node ia s single-instance ASM. To manage this instance as a single-instance ASM, restart the DBCA and select the single-instance database option. To manage this instance as a RAC ASM, convert it to a RAC first."
Any help much appreciated.

No member Disk displayed while creating Diskgroups for new ASM instance

Have installed CRS
Have installed DB software
Invoked dbca to create asm instance

Disk members not displayed for creating disk groups
OS is Hp ux 11.23

The most likely reason on HP/UX is the permissions on the devices, all the devices to be used by ASM (including the devices for alternate paths) should be set to oracle:dba (or what ever user ASM is installed under) and chmod to 664.

ORA-01034: ORACLE not available error while creating ASM or database

Hi all,
I am using oracle database 10gR2 on windows 2000 pro system.
I have Installed oracle software and there was no issue with that but now I am facing ORA-01034: ORACLE not available error while trying to create asm instance or even while creating database through dbca.
I have tried creating the asm instance manually and it was succeeded. Also database creation was successful through manual steps.
Any idea guys?? How to resolve this issue??

Hi FK,
On Windows, it can sometimes mean that the services are not running. I have a check here:
http://www.dba-oracle.com/t_check_verify_windows_services.htm
Have you tried using oradim?
http://www.dba-oracle.com/tips_oradim_utility.htm
The oradim utility provides more than just the ability to start and stop Windows databases. Windows oradim can create and edit databases. It also allows DBAs to configure script-based installation mechanisms.
The oradim utility is used on the Windows platform to perform these tasks.
C:\oracle9i\bin\oradim -startup -sid ORCL92 –usrpwd manager
-starttype SRVC,INST -pfile C:\oracle9i\admin\ORCL92\pfile\init.ora
• startup – Indicates that the specified instance should be started.
• sid – The SID of the database to start.
• usrpwd – The password for the database user.
• starttype – Specifies whether to start the instance, the service, or both
Hope this helps. . .

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
sqlplus "/as sysdba"
startup pfile='pfile_location'
