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

RE: Creation of two oracle database in Single ASM Disk group

IS it possible to create two oracle database in Single ASM Disk group. if it is possible how?.
Giri

All you have to do is to create a tablespace at the most minimumlevel and your db would become a client of the disk group. Other than that, you can migrate your db tothe disk group and it would be then start using the same disk group shared by another database for its use also.

How to make a physical copy of database when using ASM

I used to make a physical copy of production database
every night to create test environment. I have
simply physically copied files, recreated control file,
... to create it.
But on 10g I want to use ASM, is there some way
to do physical copy of the database similar way?

You can not directly to duplicate a regular database that does not use ASM into new one that does not use ASM. The problem with ASM is that you can not see the files directly at the disk level.
If you use RMAN you could use the command duplicate and all would be easier.

New 11.2 database instalation using ASM

Hello peeps,
My unix team has asked me how many mount points i would like on the unix system? Normally i use OFA of /u01, /u02, /u03, /u04
With this new database i will be installing dataguard using ASM. So my question is : what do i tell the Unix team for mount points?
Does ASM just use one mount point /u01?

Hi,
The answer might not have helped you as such. ASM is totally different from what you were used to in normal NFS or RAW. It talkes a lot more to configure and you need to know what you are doing. If this is a production system, I would suggest that you get hold of a decent book on ASM as the guide suggested might not be adequate for a full fledge Prod installation for an ASM newbie. ASM allows you to present LUNs or disks to the database is a much more different manner than you might be used to.

Database Migration using ASM

Hello All,
We are using oracle database 10g on AIX. We are using asm for storage on a shared location.
Now we want to move our database from old servers to new servers.
I want to know if we could use the same asm based datafiles for new database to avoide database data migration. Can we switch our database from one server to another and use the same datafiles??? or we have to migrate our database by RMAN or expdp etc???

we want to move 9 Tb database from tru64 and filesystem to solaris and asm on 10.2.0.3, we will be testing RMAN with CONVERT;
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/backup.102/b14191/dbxptrn.htm#sthref1379
and physical dataguard options.
so do you have any experience with the source and the target OS different case, like source as Tru64 and destination as Solaris;
SQL> SELECT a.platform_name, a.endian_format
2    FROM v$transportable_platform a
3   WHERE a.platform_id IN (2, 5)
4 ;
PLATFORM_NAME                                                                    ENDIAN_FORMAT
Solaris[tm] OE (64-bit)                                                          Big
HP Tru64 UNIX                                                                    Littleor is there any similar step by step reference like Howard's article for same OS case?
Thank you, best regards.

Oracle 11gr2 database installation using ASM on standalone Server.

Hello Guys,
Environment is as below:
Oracle 11gr2
ASM
Enterprise Linux Server release 5.5 (Carthage)
I never did oracle 11gr2 installation using ASM and I need to install Oracle software on standalone server and then create database 11g Release 2.
I have following doubts:
1. Do we need to install Grid infrastructure software for standalone server as well ?
2. Does Grid Infrastructure software comes separately or alongwith DB software ?
3.Is Grid software same for RAC and standalone server setup ?
4.Do we need to create user Grid for installation of Grid for standalone server as well ?
can anyone give me full steps from scratch ?

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.

Database cloning using cold backup

Hello Guys,
I am doing cloning of a database from cold backup for testing, actully one datafile has been croupted, so my issue is that, can i exclude tht datafile from controlfile when creating the controlfile and is that poosible that controlfile will created sucessfully and database will open sucessfully.
Please reply.
Thanks

@asif, @ckpt
With humble, how all you know that corrupted datafile is not belonging to system and undo tablespace? If this case, then do you think we can restore that corrupted cold-backup ? Sorry, but this is not the way to just start providing help without asking OP :
1.Current Oracle Version ?
2.Where he want to restore i.e. restoring platform info Oracle version OS ?
3.After cold backup how he came to know that one datafile is corrupted ?
4.When and how datafile became corrupted ?
5.How he taken cold backup ? Was db running fine just before shut immediate for cold backing ?
6.What he has done so far to restore the cold backup ?
7.What error he is getting right now ?
Here problem is corrupted datafile. So, first let come problem clear from OP, ask all missing question in one go, and then start helping is the right way... (my personal opinion, may be wrong!).

Standby database with ASM disks?

Has anyone successfully created a standby database when the primary database and the standby database are using ASM disks? If the answer is yes, how did you copy the files(database backup, control files, etc.) from the asm on primary to asm on standby?
Note: I am using 10gR2 on HP-UX but the copy part should be platform independent so however you did it should help me.

Hi d_carmichael2001,
I had done database migration from Non-asm to ASM for single instance by RMAN.
and i think mostly steps are same for create standby database on ASM.
Have a Look.......
1.create a ASM instance manually on new server.
2.Take a backup of Prod database and controlfile.
**backup of controlfile for Standby should be taken as
BACKUP CURRENT CONTROLFILE FOR STANDBY;
Backup database cmd will be same as Backup database plus archivelog;
3. create standby database by using following cmd and set necessary parameter before execute it
Diskgroup for standby should be define in standby spfile's.
**Standby database should be in nomount stange
**connect as % rman TARGET / AUXILIARY SYS/sys_pwd@sbdb1
Use
DUPLICATE TARGET DATABASE FOR STANDBY ;
This command will copy the datafiles, archived redo log files and standby control file in the backup set to the standby database's storage area.
Thanks

Can Grid Control 10gR2 create a standby database when primary db uses ASM?

Does anyone know if Grid Control 10gR2 will be able to create a standby database when the primary database uses ASM for data files, redo log files, and archive log files but the standby database will use mounted disks? If it can, would it matter that the primary db will be a RAC cluster and the standby will be a single instance db?

I appreciate your reply and hope you are correct. Have you had a look at the 10gR2 Grid Control to confirm this or are you only going on published statements? The reason I ask is because previous versions of Grid Control claimed to support ASM but they would only allow you to work with them AFTER you had created a standby database manually but you couldn't actually use Grid Control to create a standby database from a primary database that had its log files on ASM disks.

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.

Restore Database to non-ASM Storage - Issue with Bigfile Tablespace

I have been testing a restore of my prod database that uses ASM (and oracle managed files) for storage to a different server and non-ASM storage. Oracle version is 10g EE. My database has one bigfile tablespace and it's datafile is about 250GB. The restore fails and it has something to do with the bigfile tablespace.
Here is the rman restore script:
run
set newname for datafile 1 to '/ora01/db/ehr/system01.dbf';
set newname for datafile 2 to '/ora01/db/ehr/undotbs01.dbf';
set newname for datafile 3 to '/ora01/db/ehr/sysaux01.dbf';
set newname for datafile 4 to '/ora01/db/ehr/undotbs02.dbf';
set newname for datafile 5 to '/ora01/db/ehr/users01.dbf';
set newname for datafile 6 to '/ora01/db/ehr/apolloaud01.dbf';
set newname for datafile 7 to '/ora01/db/ehr/apollohist01.dbf';
set newname for datafile 8 to '/ora01/db/ehr/apolloidx01.dbf';
set newname for datafile 9 to '/ora01/db/ehr/apollotab01.dbf';
set newname for datafile 10 to '/ora01/db/ehr/apollotab02.dbf';
set newname for datafile 11 to '/ora02/db/ehr/apollolob01.dbf';
set newname for datafile 12 to '/ora01/db/ehr/apollofdb01.dbf';
set newname for datafile 13 to '/ora01/db/ehr/apolloidx02.dbf';
set newname for datafile 14 to '/ora01/db/ehr/apolloidx03.dbf';
set newname for datafile 15 to '/ora01/db/ehr/apolloaud02.dbf';
set newname for datafile 16 to '/ora01/db/ehr/apollotab03.dbf';
set until sequence 60298 thread 2;
restore database;
switch datafile all;
recover database;
Datafile 11 is the datafile in the bigfile tablespace. Here are the weird things about the restore:
1. The restore output shows this:
creating datafile fno=11 name=/ora02/db/ehr/apollolob01.dbf
channel ORA_DISK_1: starting datafile backupset restore
channel ORA_DISK_1: specifying datafile(s) to restore from backup set
restoring datafile 00001 to /ora01/db/ehr/system01.dbf
restoring datafile 00002 to /ora01/db/ehr/undotbs01.dbf
restoring datafile 00003 to /ora01/db/ehr/sysaux01.dbf
restoring datafile 00004 to /ora01/db/ehr/undotbs02.dbf
restoring datafile 00005 to /ora01/db/ehr/users01.dbf
restoring datafile 00006 to /ora01/db/ehr/apolloaud01.dbf
restoring datafile 00007 to /ora01/db/ehr/apollohist01.dbf
restoring datafile 00008 to /ora01/db/ehr/apolloidx01.dbf
restoring datafile 00009 to /ora01/db/ehr/apollotab01.dbf
restoring datafile 00010 to /ora01/db/ehr/apollotab02.dbf
restoring datafile 00012 to /ora01/db/ehr/apollofdb01.dbf
restoring datafile 00013 to /ora01/db/ehr/apolloidx02.dbf
restoring datafile 00014 to /ora01/db/ehr/apolloidx03.dbf
restoring datafile 00015 to /ora01/db/ehr/apolloaud02.dbf
restoring datafile 00016 to /ora01/db/ehr/apollotab03.dbf
Why at the beginning is it "creating" datafile 11? Then it doesnt even say it is "restoring" that datafile. Only restoring datafiles 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,12,13,14,15, and 16.
When it creates datafile 11 it is only 26GB, that is much smaller than it should be according to v$datafile view on source prod database. Also even though it says it is creating datafile 11 as /ora02/db/ehr/apollolob01.dbf it actually creates it as an oracle managed file at /ora02/db/ehr/EHR/datafile/o1_mf_apollolo_6crxyqs2_.dbf
After the datafiles are restored the "switch datafile all" command fails:
RMAN-00571: ===========================================================
RMAN-00569: =============== ERROR MESSAGE STACK FOLLOWS ===============
RMAN-00571: ===========================================================
RMAN-03002: failure of switch command at 10/18/2010 13:58:37
ORA-19625: error identifying file /ora02/db/ehr/apollolob01.dbf
ORA-27037: unable to obtain file status
Linux-x86_64 Error: 2: No such file or directory
Additional information: 3
So my question is how do I get this database restored to non-ASM (and non omf)?

So I tried using a different scn with my "set until scn #####" then the restore created 2 datafiles. The datafile for apollolob and apollotab02.dbf. So I think I have narrowed the problem to be that I am not using the correct scn number so RMAN can successfully restore those datafiles and recreates them instead. How do I find the correct scn to use to do a successful restore of the entire database? I have seen different methods on the web, but cant figure it out. Ive used "select archivelog_change#-1 from v$database;" and I also did "list backup of archivelog all" and used the latest sequence number. How can I find the correct scn to use so the entire database will restore?
Here is the output of "list backup":

10.2.0.4 - 11.2 - dbua - fatal - db using asm as storage,... but it isn't

I'm upgrading my 10.2.0.4 to 11.2.0.1 on RHEL5.4.
I start up the 11.2 dbua, and select the database to upgrade, then dbua pops up a box that says:
"The database is using ASM as storage. Before you upgrade the database, you need to upgrade ASM using Automatic Storage Configuration Assistant (ASMCA) from grid infrastructure home. Starting 11gR2, ASM should be running from grid infrastructure home"
The problem is.... I am not running ASM.
Any reasons why dbua is complaining about this, and how I can get past it?
Thanks in advance.
Stuart.

trace.log shows dbua thinking ASM is installed. I'll update this when Oracle Support come back to me...

Log transport failing to standby host , target using ASM.

Hi,
Please help me in the following scenario. I have two nodes ASM1 & ASM2 with RHEL4 U5 OS. On node ASM1 there is database ORCL using ASM diskgroups DATA & RECOVER and archive location is on '+RECOVER/orcl/'. On ASM2 node, I have to configure STDBYORCL (standby) database without ASM (i.e. on FS). I have taken the copy of database ORCL via RMAN, using following command:
run{
copy datafile 1 to '/opt/oracle/admin/df1.dbf';
copy datafile 2 to '/opt/oracle/admin/df2.dbf';
copy datafile 3 to '/opt/oracle/admin/df3.dbf';
copy datafile 4 to '/opt/oracle/admin/df4.dbf';
copy current controlfile for standby to '/opt/oracle/admin/stdbyorcl_control01.ctl'
Then I have ftp'd all to ASM2 and put them on FS /u01/oradata. Have made all necessary changes in primary and standby database pfile and then mount the standby database and put it in managed recovery mode. Unfortunately, log transport service is not working and archives are not getting shipped to standby host.
Here are all configuration details.
Primary database ORCL pfile:
