Database is not created on ASM configured Disks

hi,
I have installed Oracle 11gR2 Grid Infrastructure and Automatic Storage Management for a Standalone Server through "Grid" user. After then I install Oracle Database 11gR1 Software through "Oracle" User. There is no problem occure during the installation of these software. The OS is OEL-5.4. AND
ASM configured Disks are "DISK1, DISK2 AND DISK3" and the Group Name is "+DATA".
The Problem is when i want to create Database and chose ASM configured disk for Database storage, at the database creation process on 27% an error occur that is "ORA-03114 Not connected to Oracle". Sir but when i chose File System for Database Storage, Database created successfully.
Sir i am new in Oracle Grid Infrastructure and ASM please help me.

Hi buddy,
Are there errors in the alert.log of RDBMS istance, and what about traces ? Have it been generated ?

Database is not creating through DBCA

hi,
I am trying to create database "orcl" through DBCA but during the database creation process an error occur "ORA-03114 not connected to Oracle". I select ASM configured Disk "+DATA" to store the database file.
Please help me
Regards
Shaheer Badar

We need to see what's in those logs that the guys mentioned...
A good place to start would be the Install logs from dbca, I think they should be in:
$ORACLE_HOME\cfgtoollogs\dbca
There should be several in there, including one "orcl.log". Post that one up here and any interesting bits from the others...
It would also be worth looking for and alert log (and any trace files) too.
Let us know what you find.

DPM 2012 Install Fails, The Database was not Created ID 811

Hi.
I've tried installing DPM on a Standalone Server (SQL + DPM), and get the "Database was not Created" error. I initially tried DPM 2012 R2, and found that there is an issue with Disjoint Namespaces, so went to DPM 2012 SP1, but still getting
the same error.
The Install Account has full access rights (sysadmin) to the DPM SQL Instance, however cannot seem to get it right. The account using to do the install has full Enterprise admin, Domain Admin, Backup Operators & Administrators rights.
When opeining SQL Managemet studio, I can see the database has been created but the setup fails and requires me to revert.Here is the last few lines of the Install Log File, please help I always mark as answer.

Hi,
Check the SQL Agent account on the remote SQL server and make sure the user account syntax is in the form of UserName\DomainName and not UserName@DomainName - if it is change it.

Database is not created in SQL server for Persistant Chat

Hi All,
We were deploying the Persistant Chat Lync 2013 Role. We have created the topology and published it. Then the Lync 2013 deployment is done on the Persistant Chat servers, while upgrading the cumulative servers soon after the deployment we are getting the
error as :
Test-CsDatabase : Cannot open database "mgc" requested by the login. The login
failed.
Login failed for user 'domain\username'.
At line:1 char:1
+ Test-CsDatabase -ConfiguredDatabases -SqlServerFqdn
SQL Server ...
Get-MirrorState also was not giving the proper result. Then when I checked in the SQL server, we found that both mgc and mgccomp databases itself not created.
Could someone assist how we can install the database now?? I googled but confused a bit. Servers are already LYNC deployed, so which command and procedure we need to follow to install the DB on SQL servers and also in mirror server.
Never giveup till you get what to want.

Please share Test-CsDatabase -verbose
And Get-MirrorState

The DPM database was not created.

Hi,
I am trying to install DPM and it is driving me insane.
I have installed SQL Server locally on the Server and I'm now trying to get DPM on.
It gets all the way to the end and then gives me the following error :

I can't see anything wrong with how SQL Server was setup, and the account that I am running the DPM install under is a SQL SysAdmin.
Please help.

Secure Store Service Application takes a lot of time and does not create the database

Hi everybody,
I was trying to configure sharepoint performance point and I was following the instruction. After I created the performance point services application I tried to creat the secure store service application. When I do this, the progress window stays open forever
even after 2 hours. If I close the window, I will see that the secure store service and proxy app is created and the application pool also is created in IIS but the database is not and the application service is stopped. even when I want to delete it, it's
the same story and the progress window stays until I close it manually. Nothing has been logged in the event viewer because it doesn't throw any exceptions.
I don't think that I have permission issues on the database server side because I have created the performance point service app and the database is there. I have used the same credentials to crete the secure store.
I have restarted the secure store service and IIS for many times and even the server itself.
I'm wondering if anybody has had this issue because I couldn't find anything on the web.
Thanks,
Edwin

I have a WPF application In the OnStartup in the app.cs I set the Database initializer and forced the context the initialise my database:
Debug.WriteLine("Setting Initializer");

c.Database.Initialize(true);
Debug.WriteLine("Done!");
I created a sql database in the management portal of the azure.
Copied the connectionstring it provided for ADO.net.
But my database is not created.
I also added a firewall rule but nothing happens. I Have no clue what to do.
Can anybody please help me with this?
If you need more information please ask i really have to get this sorted out.
Thanks in advance!

Hi Turkstra,
I have tried to use EF to create Azure SQL database, it works as expect, the database 'jambordbcreate' appear in my SQL Azure, below is the detailed codes.
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Data.Entity;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;
using System.Threading.Tasks;
namespace CodeFirst

string name = "jambor";
var student=new Student(){Name=name, ID="1a"};
db.Students.Add(student);
db.SaveChanges();
db.Database.Initialize(true);
public class Student
public string ID { get; set; }
public string Name { get; set; }

public class SchContext : DbContext
public SchContext(string connection):base(connection)
public DbSet<Student> Students { get; set; }
public DbSet<School> Schools { get; set; }
I suggest you check your SQL connection, after run your code, please refresh azure portal to see whether your database is exist. Hope this give you some help.

Configuring Disk for ASM in a Standalone environment

Hi,
I am attempting to install ASM for the very first time ! I am installing ASM in a Standalone Linux 6 environment. I am following CH3 of the 11gR2 Database Installation Guide. I have installed the Oracle ASM packages and have configured ASM.
I am now trying to configure the disk to use the ASM Library Driver
In my case, my server has a single 250 Gb SCSI disk. I have used this for the install of Linux 6. However I have left some space unformatted which I had intended to use with ASM.
when I do fdisk -l I get

A couple of things I am not sure of -
Q1. Has the linux install in effect created some virtual disks i.e.
/dev/mapper/vg_lab3-lv_root, /dev/mapper/vg_lab3-lv_swap and /dev/mapper/vg_lab3-lv_home ?
Q2. Are /dev/sde1 and /dev/sde2 virtual disks in their own right or partitions of /dev/sde ?
The 11gR2 install manual states on P3-13 that I should use fdisk or parted to create a single whole-disk partition on the disk devices to use
I am not quite sure what I need to do -
Q3a. I assume I can use part of my physical disk ( i.e. /dev/sbe2 ) with ASM rather than it having to be a complete physical disk ?
Q3b. Do I simply mark /dev/sbe2 as an ASM disk using oracleasm createdisk DISK1 /dev/sbe2 ?
or do I somehow have to create a partition on /dev/sbe2 ? ( I guess this harks back to Q2. in that is sbe2 a disk or a partition ? )
any help greatly appreciated
Jim

Thanks Billy.
I have checked back to my Linux install note and indeed it does seem to create the logical volumes at that stage i.e. it creates Lv_root, Lv_home and Lv_swap. During the nistall I was offered to specify the type of installation. The following options were given -
- Use All Space
- Replace Existing Linux Systems
- Shrink Current System
- Use Free Space
- Create Custom Layout
Q1. I chose the Use All Space. However from what you are saying it looks as if I perhaps should have used the option 'Create Custom Layout'. I am guessing the use all space option is what created the Logical Volumes - is this correct and should I have used Create Custom Layout ?
I reduced lv_home from 183732 to 50000 Mb. This left 173 Gb free - I intended to use this free space with ASM
Q2. Can a single disk only have 4 primary partitions ?
I guess I am where I am now, so I am wondering how I proceed with the disk layout I have presently.
Can you clarify from my output of fdisk -l that was in my original post, what exactly I have. My understanding is as follows -
There are 3 logical volumes created : /dev/mapper/vg_lab3-lv_root, /dev/mapper/vg_lab3-lv_swap and /dev/mapper/vg_lab3-lv_home
There is then the physical volume /dev/sde. On this physical volume is /dev/sde1 and /dev/sde2
Q3. Are these partitions on that volume ?
Q4. /dev/sde1 appears to be a boot partition and /dev/sde2 appears to be the partition of 173 Gb that I did not allocate during the Linux install. Is this correct ?
Q5. Is it possible that I can now take /dev/sde2 and mark that as an ASM Disk ? I wasn't sure if creating an ASM disk is restricted to an entire physical disk or if you can use a partition ?
When I do the following as root user
/etc/init.d/oracleasm createdisk VOL1 /dev/sde2
Unable to open device "/dev/sde2" Device or resource busy
I cannot understand how this is the case - /dev/sde2 is not mounted
lsof /dev/sde2 does not show anything using /dev/sde2
/etc/init.d/oracleasm status
shows ASM is loaded and /dev/oracleasm is mounted
Any help you can offer would be greatly received.
Thanks,
Jim

Creating DAS or SAN Disk Partitions for ASM

Oracle® Database Installation Guide 11g Release 2 (11.2) for Linux (http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E11882_01/install.112/e24321/oraclerestart.htm#CHDBJGEB)
*3.6.3 Step 2:* Creating DAS or SAN Disk Partitions for Oracle Automatic Storage Management
In order to use a DAS or SAN disk in Oracle ASM, the disk must have a partition table. Oracle recommends creating exactly one partition for each disk.
My question: why does Oracle recommend creating exactly one partition for each disk? For a disk to be used on Suse Linux, I normally need to at the least 3 partitions, i.e., boot, swap, and root.
Scott

Please read the entire manual - before starting setup and configuration.
From the very same manual:
Do not specify multiple partitions on a single physical disk as a disk group device.
Oracle ASM expects each disk group device to be on a separate physical disk.So why use partitioning? If you need to subdivide a LUN into smaller LUNs and use these instead of the larger LUN. Reasons could range from LUNs bigger than 2TB in size (ASM only support up to 2TB size LUNs), to wanting partition 1's of x size for ASM diskgroup 1 and partition 2's of y size for ASM diskgroup 2.
If you do partition, take the extra precaution of marking the partition as a non-file system (partition type <i>da</i>) to safeguard against someone (like a sysadmin looking for space) from mounting it as a file system.
Generally though - I would not partition LUNs for ASM use.

/etc/init.d/oracleasm configure do not create /dev/oracleasm mountpoint

Dear All,
I have to put my question like this, I am following humter_rac10gr2_iscsi. I have done everything as per documentation and the results so far have been ok. When i come to the part where we have to create ASM volumes and when i after installing asm library give the following command:
/etc/init.d/oracleasm configure
The commd runs sucessfully but misses the folling line that is in documentation:
Creating /dev/oracleasm mount point: [OK]
Because of this miss I guess last time when i reached the poing during dbca database creation where it shows ASM volumes, it did not discover any ASM volumes and i was stuck at this point.
Kindly help me on this?
Regards, Imran baig

Hello,
Well i run /etc/init.d/oracleasm configure command as root user.
Yesh I have just checked i can cd to /dev/oracleasm/disks and can find
VOLl VOL2 VOL3 VOL4 there
I have delete first and then create ASM volumes and now i can scan and list then from both nodes.
/etc/init.d/oracleasm status says that
Checking if ASM is loaded: [OK]
Checking if /dev/oracleasm is mounted: [OK] :)
But id did not show it during configuration and similary when i run dbca at the screen where to specify volumes, nothing is there even when i cange disk path to ORCL:VOL* there is nothing....
Kindly help with the dbca configurations so that it pick up the ASM VOLUMES.
Regards,
Imran

ASM LABLED DISK NOT SHOWN IN GRID INSTALLATION

Hi Guru,
Im new to oracle,just started, we are installing ORCALE 11gr2 11.2.0.3 single node cluster for an test environment on RHEL 6.2.
we installed oracle prerequisite with yum provided by oracle with following command.
yum install "oracle-rdbms-server-11gR2-preinstall" ##did all pathch,rpm & parameter set automatically.
create users oracle & grid with required group.

Every things seems good till the time.
while it looks for asmdisk during installation it will not show asm labled disk there with discovery string "/dev/oracleasm/disks/*" -----"OCRL:*"
Please help, im stuck in this issue from 5 days.

Hello,
To resolve this issue, first reconfigure your ASMlib using following steps:
[root@host02 ~]# ll -ltr /dev/oracleasm/disks/ASMDISK0*
brw-rw---- 1 grid asmadmin 8, 17 May 15 11:05 /dev/oracleasm/disks/ASMDISK01
brw-rw---- 1 grid asmadmin 8, 18 May 15 11:05 /dev/oracleasm/disks/ASMDISK02
brw-rw---- 1 grid asmadmin 8, 19 May 15 11:05 /dev/oracleasm/disks/ASMDISK03
brw-rw---- 1 grid asmadmin 8, 21 May 15 11:05 /dev/oracleasm/disks/ASMDISK04
brw-rw---- 1 grid asmadmin 8, 22 May 15 11:05 /dev/oracleasm/disks/ASMDISK05
brw-rw---- 1 grid asmadmin 8, 23 May 15 11:05 /dev/oracleasm/disks/ASMDISK06
brw-rw---- 1 grid asmadmin 8, 24 May 15 11:05 /dev/oracleasm/disks/ASMDISK07
brw-rw---- 1 grid asmadmin 8, 25 May 15 11:05 /dev/oracleasm/disks/ASMDISK08
If the permission is not like this then do the following:
*[root@host02 ~]# oracleasm configure -i*

DBCA did not see the ASM disk group in NODE 2 but see in NODE 1

Are there anyone who encountered creating a database using DBCA with ASM as file system?
Our issue before is in both nodes the DBCA did not see the ASM disk group.
But after setting the TNS_ADMIN in both nodes and running the DBCA as administrator in Node 1, the DBCA able to see now the ASM disk group. Unfortunately, in Node 2 it didn't work out?
So we didn't know why is it from Node 2, the DBCA still didn't see the ASM disk group?Since it is both the same.
Any ideas? Please advise.
For you information, we are using Windows 64-bit, Oracle 11g R2
Thank you in advance for those who will respond.

Are the disks given to the ASM are visible from Node2?

note: we don't want to upgrade 10gr2 database into 11gR2 yet. But we created the 11gR2 ASM, then a 11gr2 database on ASM, and plan to migrate datafile in 10gR2 database to 11gR2 ASM
1. oracle 10gR2 installed first version: 10.2.0.3.0
2. then install 11gR2 Grid Infrastructure, and created ASM (version 11gr2)

What is the output of
olsnodes -t -n
Also, see unix error log and ohasd error log if you find anything in that
