Crs stop and acfs filesystem

i have created acfs file system and mounted for 2 node RAC.
when i issued crsctl stop crs for local node, the asm instance could not stop.
asm alert log showed that diskgroup for acfs and voting disk could not be dismounted as they are used by processes
realising this i did unmount the acfs filesystem, then dismounted acfs diskgroup manually but the diskgroup with voting disk on it now showed status quiesced,
eventually i shut abort the asm instance.
is it required to umount the acfs explicitly prior to stopping crs, doesnt clusterware offline/stop acfs filesystem as it does for the other crs resources.

no,vote/ocr is not stored on acfs.
ORA-15027 active use of diskgroup "ACFS" precludes its dismount
ORA-15027 active use of diskgroup "VOTE" precludes its dismount
question: is the foll understanding correct
it is required to unmount the acfs filesystem explicitly prior to stopping crs.
because crsctl stop crs wont offline/stop acfs filesystem as it does for the other crs resources.

Registering the ACFS filesystem with CRS

Grid version:11.2.0.2 on Solaris 10
I want to register the ACFS filesystem with the CRS. Which option should I use ; Option A or Option B ?
Option A.
From
http://www.unbreakablecloud.com/wordpress/2011/02/01/acfs-file-system-setup/
You can add the file system using the following srvctl command:
#srvctl add filesystem -d /dev/asm/fs1-334 -v FS1 -g ACFSDG -m /fs1 -u oracle
Start the file systems
#srvctl start filesystem -d /dev/asm/fs1-334 -n node1 (please sure to change node1 to whatever your nodename)
When the system gets rebooted the file systems will be automatically mounted by Oracle Clusterware.or
Option B.
Example borrowed from oracle-base
http://www.oracle-base.com/articles/11g/acfs-11gr2.php
After , creating the Disk group, Creating the volume and enabling it. The following commands are run
-- creating the ACFS
/sbin/mkfs -t acfs -b 4k /dev/asm/acfsvol3-301 -n "ASMVOL3"
--- mounting the ACFS
$ /sbin/acfsutil registry -f -a /dev/asm/acfsvol3-301 /u01/app/oracle/acfsmounts/data_acfsvol3
Do these commands (option 2) register ACFS filesystem with CRS ?In option A, I am curious why he is running srvctl from root (I can see # sign ) ?
Another related question:
Is there any advantage in having ACFS registered with CRS ?

Omega3 -
Both options result in a mount point that is managed by CRS. I refer to this as a managed mount point.
The difference really comes down to what you want to do with it.
If you want a mount point that you can use on all nodes of the cluster and that you can create dependencies on, then use srvctl.
If you want a mount point that is node-local, then you can use acfsutil registry.
If you don't have either of those situations, then you can use either.
Generally, I recommend using 'srvctl'.
As pointed out, you can easily create the resource using ASMCA.
The advantage of this method is that you can create other resources, such as for user defined programs, and create STOP and START dependencies on the ACFS resource. This will ensure that the ACFS file system is mounted before those programs stop and start.
Also, keep in mind that if you are planning on putting large numbers of ACFS file systems in the registry, you may run into some timing issues. The ACFS registry resource has a finite TIMEOUT value, and may run out of time to look at all the file systems\volumes and ensure that they are operating as expected. This is another case where the single file system resource has an advantage.
In either case, add it and forget about it - it should just work. :)

In addition to Chandra's steps , also make sure that the Shared Voting and OCR disks are visible from Linux1 and have the same device mappings as were before the Node reboot.
If the CRS stack fails to come up , you should be looking at the
following files to start with :
a) The OS Messages file to check if there are any messages logged from the
the time when you attempted to start the stack manually.
b) The /tmp mountpoint sometimes contains files names crsctl* which could
also indicate what the problem is.
c) The logs under
$ORA_CRS_HOME/log/<nodename>/ocssd
$ORA_CRS_HOME/log/<nodename>/crsd
$ORA_CRS_HOME/log/<nodename>/client
Let's know if there are any messages in these files which might help us analyze
this further.

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:

Crsctl stop and windows

Hi. all.
I tried to stop a RAC database installed on 32-bit windows 2003 server.
I run the followings:
1. srvctl stop instance -d rac -i rac1
2. srvctl stop nodeapps -n nodename
Until now, everything is fine.
Howerver, when I was trying to stop clusterware by "crsctl stop crs",
cluster-related windows services is not going to down.
Here is the log, when I issued "crsctl stop crs".
C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator>crsctl stop crs
Stopping resources.
Successfully stopped CRS resources
Stopping CSSD.
Shutting down CSS daemon.
Shutdown request successfully issued.
I can see the followings in service window.
OracleCRService is now successfully down.
OracleCSService is now going down, but not down.
OracleEVMService is now going up , but not up.
What happened? Is it useful to run "crsctl start/stop crs"
on 32-bit windows 2003 Server??
Thanks in advance. Have a good day.
Best Regards.

Not sure above is right way to check status of CRS.
Try following to get clear picture
go to CRS_HOME/bin ( like cd c:\oracle\product\10.2.0\crs\bin) and run
crs_stat -v ( For detail )
crs_stat -t ( for Table format)

Srvctl start listener -n rac1 gives CRS-1028 and CRS-0223

Boot up 2 linux 10.2.0.1.0 RAC nodes.
everything starts except listeners
srvctl start listener -n rac1
or
srvctl start listener -n rac2
gives
CRS-1028
CRS-0223
However, if you start listeners manually, using
lsnrctl start listener_rac1
or
lsnrctl start listener_rac2
they start right up. Moreover, once you have started them manually, the srvctl start listener commands now work, both stopping and starting the listeners with srvctl now works. However, when reboot systems, again srvctl must be "primed" for starting listener by doing one "manual" startup of listener.
Any thoughts on what is causing this behavior?
Thanks!

Alan, thanks - excellent advice. However, I just ended up redoing the entire install and this of course fixed the problem :-)
Thanks for your reply, Gil
PS also, btw I use the crsstat script instead of the crs_stat for better formatting, i.e. this script (which I named crsstat) lives in $ORA_CRS_HOME/bin. Also, note I am not the author of this script, I downloaded it from Metalink:
#!/usr/bin/ksh
# Sample 10g CRS resource status query script
# Description:
# - Returns formatted version of crs_stat -t, in tabular
# format, with the complete rsc names and filtering keywords
# - The argument, $RSC_KEY, is optional and if passed to the script, will
# limit the output to HA resources whose names match $RSC_KEY.
# Requirements:
# - $ORA_CRS_HOME should be set in your environment
RSC_KEY=$1
QSTAT=-u
AWK=/usr/bin/awk # if not available use /usr/bin/awk
# Table header:echo ""
$AWK \
'BEGIN {printf "%-45s %-10s %-18s\n", "HA Resource", "Target", "State";
printf "%-45s %-10s %-18s\n", "-----------", "------", "-----";}'
# Table body:
$ORA_CRS_HOME/bin/crs_stat $QSTAT | $AWK \
'BEGIN { FS="="; state = 0; }
$1~/NAME/ && $2~/'$RSC_KEY'/ {appname = $2; state=1};
state == 0 {next;}
$1~/TARGET/ && state == 1 {apptarget = $2; state=2;}
$1~/STATE/ && state == 2 {appstate = $2; state=3;}
state == 3 {printf "%-45s %-10s %-18s\n", appname, apptarget, appstate; state=0;}'

ASM snapshots and ACFS

I've been playing with 11gr2, asm and ACFS.. I saw the new snapshot technology and I thought wahooo.... I've worked with netapp in my previous job, and I loved the snapshot technology. I was thinking this would be the same..
You would put your files on a "cooked" file system, put your database in backup, snap, then take out of backup.. backup your snap.. Run into an issue , and you "snap back".. even better for dataguard.. You shutdown your Physicaly standby, snap the volume.. make your standby read write.. do you testing, then snap back and put back in recover.. easy as pie.
I have a number of questions after looking at ACFS.
1) There is no snapback ?? do I have this right ? you can create and delete, but you can't snap back?
2) Oracle ACFS does not support any file that can be directly stored in Oracle ASM. This is right out of the manual.. If you look up "any file that can be stored in oracle ASM" you find datafiles, controlfiles. archive logs, datapump files. This means that oracle will not the support using ACFS for your database files that you would most likely want to snap?
3) What do people see as the use of snapshots if you can't use them for database files, or are people going to put database files onto ACFS volumes regardless of the above statement ?
Personally I would love to put my archive logs, and datapump files on a "cooked" filesystem.. Database files are fine on ASM. This statement worries me too
"Create Oracle Database data files directly on Oracle ASM storage for best performance because Oracle ACFS does not support directIO for file read and write operations in 11g Release 2 (11.2)."

I'm not experienced with ASM snapshots, but I'll implement it on my VBOX TEST RAC within minutes, so I'll be able to give you a more specific answer, but...
¿What's the point in having incremental point-in-time recovery for archivelog (incremental backup) and/or datapumps (full logical backups)? Don't you find it a bit too-much redundant?
In fact, I'm interested into testing it specially for saving backup time and space in databases with high DML transactions per second, so I could put them in NOARCHIVELOG or even in NOLOG mode (As ASM Snapshots claims to be a consistent point-in-time-recovery backup).
Anyway. I'll provide you more feed back as soon as I test empirically your questions, but as far as I'm concerned, direct I/O is not recommended (or even available) on Linux 64bits, which is the more common and extended (and preferred by my own as well) combination. But Metalink is not available at the moment so anyway I'll have to wait to ensure you the answer as I might be confused with the ext3 filesystem recommendation.

Enric Moya

When i try to put music on my ipod classic my laptop will put songs on for a bit then stops and erases my ipod. why is this happening?

When i tryed to add new music to my ipod classic it added it fine but when i went to play it some songs wouldnt start playing and skipped to next songs. i restored my ipod like it said to. when i wnet to put all my music back on it went through a bunch and then all of a sudden it stopped and one song about half mway through it and then i got a messege ballon saying windows couldnt find the file to sync to or something like that. whewn i ejeckted my ipod it was blank no music that had been synced was on there whats going on?

There are a couple of things you can try to do at this point. The first is to temporarily disable your PC's AntiVirus/security software as it may be interferring with the sync process causing it to timeout and corrupt your iPod's filesystem, which in return erases all content from your iPod.
Also, double check to make sure you are plugging the iPod into a high powered USB 2.0 port and not an older USB 1.0 port as it may not provide enough juice/power to allow a successful sync. This means you shouldn't plug your iPod into any sort of USB hub, a keyboard with the built in USB port, or into a USB port on the front of the PC itself as they are not connected directly to the motherboard and do not provide as much power.
Lastly, try temporarily removing any other USB peripherals (minus keyboard and mouse) and try the sync process again to see if that helps. If it does, it's likely a driver conflict with the different devices or that with each plug it, the iPod isn't allowed enough power to complete a successful sync.
You may need to remove and re-install iTunes as well as there may be some corrupt files.

In Flex 3 how to Stop and Replay .swf animation created in Flash

Hi
I have an animation file that is created in Flash (I think
CS3). In Flex if I import it inside a SWFLoader or if I import it
as an Image. It plays once and stops. Then I can not replay it. I
also can not pause it when its playing.
I have tried few things based on help and code available in
the Web to of no help. I have tried to convert the swfLoader
instance to a movie clip like so to stop
var c:MovieClip = swfLoaderHeaddress1.content as MovieClip;
c.stop();
<mx:SWFLoader x="53" y="116" width="206" height="255.3"
visible="true"
source="assets/animations/curatorial/ZoomHeadress_2nd.swf"
id="swfLoaderHeaddress1"/>
It does not work.
I have not created the .swf animation, I am not sure how it
is done. I belive it may not be using any ActionScript as I know
the artist who created it does not know ActionScript. Does
something need to be done inside the Flash to support the stop and
play? Or is there a way to restart/replay stop a .swf animation in
Flex 3 no matter how (and whether or not its developed using
ActionScript) its developed in Flash?

One way is she has to add some AS code to the animation, or
you can do it yourself.
In swf there must be something like this:
var connReciever:LocalConnection = new LocalConnection();
connReciever.client = this;
connReciever.connect("fromFlexToSWF");
function myFunction(parameter:SomeClass):void {...}
And in Flex:
var connSender:LocalConnection = new LocalConnection();
connSender.send("fromFlexToSWF", "myFunction", [..args]);
The other way: in case with just play/stop there is a way to
resolve this by using that Flex Component Kit (or maybe "Flex Skin
Design Extension", i do not remember), it is something like she
just adding labels to animation frames then she exports it with
Flex Kit and then you can work with it like with an object with
"states".

Unless you have a copy of the iPod backup file from the previous computer installation you are out of luck. If yo have that file move it to your computer and restore the iPod from that backup. Otherwise, you will have to restore the iPod to factoery defaults/new iPod and lose all your app date. That is the way it is since the iPod sees the computer as a new computer/iTunes library. That backup file is located:
Mac: ~/Library/Application Support/MobileSync/Backup/
Windows XP: \Documents and Settings\(username)\Application Data\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
Windows Vista and Windows 7: \Users\(username)\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\

When I try to buy any app or song from iTunes app or app store on iPhone 5 it seems to start the stops and goes back to baseline in a second or two

When I try to buy any app or song from iTunes app or app store on iPhone 5 it seems to start the stops and goes back to baseline in a second or two.
It did it with my old iPhone 4 in last month or so, and it I hoped it would go once I updated to new iPhone 5. The problem has transferred to new phone too.
I can't sign in to iTunes account on iPhone. It takes the password then resets to baseline. No error message comes up. On the base computer (pc) it will allow me to sign up and buy songs, apps etc. I can then sync the phone and put them on it. It just won't let me buy direct from the .
As there are no error messages I am at a loss what to do. I have updated the payment details on my account, and my husband has an iPhone 4 and has no such problems. We share the same wifi. I have tried with 3G as well as wifi, with no luck.
I am pretty much out of ideas, and have tried searching forums but there is so much overlap between queries that I can't find a similar problem from someone else, but I am sure it exists!
Can anyone please help me?
Thanks in advance
Sarah

I figured it out!
I read a solution for something that sounded similar.
Anyone in similar position:
Open iTunes app on iPhone, and pick an option from bottom, such as music. Then scroll down to bottom of page and where your iTunes ID is, press on it, and pick sign out.
Then return to home screen, and double press home button and press and hold on first icon showing, until a minus symbol appears in the top left of icons present. Press on each minus symbol on each app in turn, until all app icons have disappeared. Then Restart the phone by pressing and hold the home button and the on/off/standby button at top of phone, until the apple symbol appears in centre of blank screen.
Swipe to turn phone fully on and open settings and scroll down to iTunes and apps option and tap that. Pick sign in and put in your apple ID, it will accept it and then return to home screen and open iTunes a you'll find it works fine
Simple really, but some like me won't think f this themselves!
Hope that helps

Music skips and stops and starts

Hello, we have just got a nano to replace a 3rd gen iPod.
I have around 50 gigs of music on a lacie USB drive, and the music plays flawlessly from here in iTunes.
However once imported into the nano, there is distortion, jumps and clicks in the music and sometimes the song will just stop and start from the beginning.
Any ideas?
