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.

An absolute URL will be a complete URL, it traces from the abosulte root of a file's location on a server...
http://www.thesite.com/assets/images/Front_Page_Rotating_Banner/banners.xml
A relative URL is anything short of including the http://domain..., and is read relative to wherever the file using it exists
assets/images/Front_Page_Rotating_Banner/banners.xml
In Flash files though, relative links need to be specified relative to the HTML page that embeds the swf. So if the swf is in a different folder than the html page that embeds it, the swf's targeting must be adjusted as if it were actually in the html file's folder.

What does the "Internal" value on the ASM Disk Group Usage Chart represent?

In OEM Grid Control, on the Automatic Storage Management Home page there is the Disk Group Usage Chart.
What does the "Internal (GB)" value on this pie chart represent? and how it has been calculated?
On one of our servers it is 13% of available ASM disk capacity.. and on another it is 0%.

Internal space is (Total MB - Free MB) from the @ DiskSpaceUsage - Total MB from the DatabaseDiskSpace usage
It is basically the space occupied by the your DB in the ASM disk space. There are few bugs related to this and need to be refined

Problem creating asm disk groups after installation.

I just completed the grid install successfully on Oracle Linux:
Candidate ASM disks not showing up in 11.2 installer (Oracle Linux)
Thanks for the help.
I am running into the same type of issue where I can't see the asm disks like I ran ran into during the install.
When I run asmca to create the addditional disk groups I don't see the two asmlib volumes.
I tried changing the disk discovery path from the default and I still can't see the disks.
$ /usr/sbin/oracleasm listdisks
CRSVOL1
DATAVOL1
FRAVOL1
Do the block devices need to be owned by grid?
$ ls -l /dev/sdc
brw-r----- 1 root disk 8, 32 Aug 2 15:21 /dev/sdc
$ ls -l /dev/sdd

$ ls -l /dev/sde
brw-r----- 1 root disk 8, 64 Aug 2 15:21 /dev/sde
How can the installer work fine and see the disks and then asmca can't see the disks?
It must be a permissions issue. How can I see what the error is that is preventing the disks from showing up?

ASM DISK groups set up at O/S level

Hi
I am having couple of questions regarding the ASM.
I was given LINUX Server and asked me to create the ASM DISK groups at O/S level.
Oracle version: Oracle 11g realease 2 with ASM and Stand alone server
O/S: Redhat Lilnux with 64 bit
1.Unix admin has already given the server and gave me the root access also.Now I need to map/set up the ASM DISK groups manually and create them at the O/S level and then INSTALL the ASM software.
a)We are using the asmlib for mapping at o/s level.Can any body give the command to know whether asmlib was installed on the Linux server.
b)How to see the free Partitions on the Linux server and allot them to ASM disks at O/S level and to create it.
2)Should I use two separate users ie . one for Grid infrastructure(Asm) and other for RDBMS Installation.
Say GRID user for Grid Infrastructure(Asm) and ORACLE user for RDBMS Installation.
If so what is the advantage in using different users for ASM and RDBMS installation respectively.
The grid user is a member of these OS groups :asmdba,asmoper, and asmadmin and not dba group
The oracle user is a member of these OS groups :dba and asmdba groups.
ofcourse grid user and oracle user is also a part of oinstall group.
Please find the url which I picked the above information.

Thanks in advance
Thanks

First of all you should be using installation guide from oracle which you can find at ..http://www.oracle.com/pls/db112/portal.portal_db?selected=11&frame=
If so what is the advantage in using different users for ASM and RDBMS installation respectively.There are two things, Grid & Database, Oracle wants to separate the administartion for both software, where users who are DBAs should not be allowed to change ASM stuff and vice-versa.
You can use fdisk command to partition the disks, and use # /usr/sbin/oracleasm createdisk command to create the disk.

Cleaning up ASM disk group after failed rman duplicate session?

I am using rman duplicate to create a clone of a production database. The rman duplicate failed in phase 1 (retoration of datafiles) and my datafile are being restored to an ASM diskgroup.
I read in the metalink note Manual Completion of a Failed RMAN Duplicate [ID 360962.1] the following...
Note : From 10g onwards, if duplicate failed during step 1, which is the restore of datafiles, it is probably best to restart the duplicate process. Any files that have already been restored will be skipped and the duplicate process can continue without manual intervention
So I followed the advice in the note and started the rman duplcate script over again from the beggining. I am hoping it will have the intelligence to skip any files that have already been restored but if it is not since this is 10.1.0.3 and I cannot use the asmcmd command to connect to the ASM instance to delete any files that have been created then how can I delete and of the files since the database instance never got created correctly and cannot open?
Any thought on how I can now cleanup the files in the ASM disk group? Also, has anyone started an rman duplicate again after it has previously failed and did it actually skip the files that are already there as stated in the metalink note?
Thanks.

Unfortunately the v$asm_file does not have the entire file name or path it just gives you the follwing...
SQL> desc v$asm_file
Name Null? Type
GROUP_NUMBER NUMBER
FILE_NUMBER NUMBER
COMPOUND_INDEX NUMBER
INCARNATION NUMBER
BLOCK_SIZE NUMBER
BLOCKS NUMBER
BYTES NUMBER
SPACE NUMBER
TYPE VARCHAR2(64)
REDUNDANCY VARCHAR2(6)
STRIPED VARCHAR2(6)
CREATION_DATE DATE
MODIFICATION_DATE
This really stinks I wish I didn't have to work with 10gr1 at all but the database I am trying to move to a ew server and new storage is running this version and we did not want to upgrade the existing database first before attempting the migration because it is reliant upon tape backups which I do not have alot of confidence in...

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:

My Mac G-4 OS X will not image an icon of the zip disk with I inserted into my computer's built-in Zip Drive, therefore I can not remove the zip disk from my computer. What can I do?

Thanks Old Comm Guy, BD Aquam and Texas Mac Man for youradvice and reply to my question
and problem with my Zip Drive. However:
    1. Depressing mouse buttonon start up did not eject the zip disk.
    2. To examine front of zipdrive, I had to remove many screws and several plastic case
         coverings. Upon doing thatI discovered that, unfortunately, there is no whole in front
          of mybuilt-in zip hardware drive for me to insert a paper clip to manually eject zipdisk.
      3. I went to the Utilities folder in myMac OS X Application folder, but I could not find
           theiomega zip drive in there.
Also, I did go into my "9" System folder and thento the Extensions folder within it and did find an icon of an
Iomega Driver. When double clicking on it a window came upstating I was opening the application
"ColorSync Extension" for thefirst time, and asking if I was sure I wanted to open this application.
Uponclicking open nothing happened - nothing opened.
I also went into the "System X" folder>Libraryfolder>Extension folder>IomegaSAM.ket icon and double
clicked on it and asmall window opened stating "Compiling file List", however nothingopened it just
continued to compile, so I closed it.
Within my Mac OS X HD> Applications>Iomega folder>Iomega Tools.app a smallwindow opened up
with several options (Erase, Protect, Disk Info and DriveInfo). Clicking on the Drive Info a message says:
"No Iomega Drives or noIomega Driver found. Therefore, Ihave gone to Mac, Iomega and other websites
trying to find a Driver for thebuilt-in Zip Drive in my Mac G-4 OS X 10.4.11, but have not really found anythat work.
CAN ANYONE TELL ME IF THERE IS A WEBSITE WHERE I CANDOWNLOAD A NEW DRIVER FOR MY ZIP DRIVE?

How to move or migrate whole directories between ASM disk groups?

Hello everyone!
I'm playing around with Oracle ASM and Oracle Database (11g R1), I'm a student. This is just for testing purposes.
Computer specifications are:
Processor: Intel Pentium 4 HT 3.00 Ghz.
RAM Memory: 2 GB.
Hard Disk: 250 GB
O.S.: Windows XP Professional Edition SP 2.
I installed Oracle ASM, I created an ASM disk group (+FRA), I installed Oracle Database and I created a testing database. The database is working properly over the ASM disk group. Days ago, I got help about the initialization parameters DB_CREATE_FILE_DEST, DB_CREATE_ONLINE_LOG_DEST_1, DB_CREATE_ONLINE_LOG_DEST_2 and DB_RECOVERY_FILE_DEST, based on their function, I created another 3 ASM disk groups (+FILES, LOG1, LOG2). Currently, the four initialization parameters are pointing to its corresponding ASM disk group. As you can deduce, at the installation moment of the Oracle Database I used the ASM disk group "+FRA" and inside it were created the directories: CONTROLFILE, DATAFILE, ONLINELOG, PARAMETERFILE, TEMPFILE and the SPFile.
My point is I wanna move or migrate the directories DATAFILE, PARAMETERFILE, TEMPFILE and the SPFile to "+FILES", ONLINELOG and CONTROLFILE to "+LOG1" and "+LOG2", this way, the ASM disk group "+FRA" will contain the Flash Recovery Area only. What is the procedure to do this?
Thanks in advance!

Hi,
There are couple of approaches you can use, here is some of them
- To move datafile, start the database in mount state
RMAN > copy datafile '+FRA/xxx' to '+FILES1';
SQL > alter database rename file '+FRA/xxx' to '+FILES1/xxx';
- To move tempfile
SQL > alter tablespace TEMP add tempfile '+FILES1' SIZE 10M;
SQL > alter database tempfile '+FRA/xxx' drop;
- To move onlinelog
SQL > alter database add logfile member '+LOG1' to group 1;
SQL > alter database add logfile member '+LOG2' to group 1;
SQL > alter database drop logfile member '+FRA/xxx';
- To move controlfile
SQL > restore controlfile to '+FILES1' from '+FRA/xxx';
update the spfile to reflect new location of controlfile
Cheers

Cannot create ASM disk groups in DBCA - Oracle 11gR1, Windows 32bit

Good afternoon,
Using 11gR1 on Windows XP, I need help installing a database (single instance) using ASM, I am not able to select disks to be stamped for use by ASM. I have done the following steps:
1. Installed the Oracle 11gR1 software (no database created - just the software)
2. Connected nine (9) SCSI hard drives to the system
3. Created a primary partition on each hard drive, formatted the partition but did *not* assign a drive letter
4. Created a listener service (working properly - checked with lsnrctl status)
5. Started DBCA to create a single database instance using ASMIn DBCA I performed the following:
a. at the welcome screen, click Next
b. at "Step 1 of 16", click Next (accepting the default "Create a Database")
c. at "Step 2 of 16", click Next (accepting the default "General Purpose or Transaction Processing)
d. at "Step 3 of 16", "Global Database Name" set to "dbca", "SID" set to "dbca", click Next
e. at "Step 4 of 16", click Next (accepting the defaults)
f. at "Step 5 of 16", click "Use same administrative passwords for all accounts" and entered password, click Next
g. at "Step 6 of 16", click "Automatic Storage Management (ASM)", click Next
Everything seems just fine until I reach the following step
h. at "Step 7 of 16", click "Create New"
    - The Create Disk Group window pops up (there is nothing shown in the "Select Member Disk Area")
    - set the "Disk Group Name" to "DATAGROUP"
    - click on "Show All" (no devices shown after clicking)
    - click on "Stamp Disks..." this causes the "asmtool operation" window to pop up
      - click on "Add or change label", click on Next
      - the "Select Disks" step appears.   There are 11 hard drives listed but NONE of them
        can be selected - all I can do here is click on Cancel*The question:* Why aren't the drives selectable and what do I need to do to make them selectable ?
Thank you very much for your help,
John.

>
The question: Why aren't the drives selectable and what do I need to do to make them selectable ?
>
To answer my own question (now that I've figured it out), the reason is because the partition should not be formatted.
When Windows displays the "New Partition Wizard", it is important to:
1. not assign a drive letter
2. and select "Do not format this partition"
This will cause Windows to mount the volume thus making it accessible to Oracle.
Hopefully this will help someone not fall in this trap as I did,
John.

Create ASM Disk Groups cannot see Disk Path to select during installation

Hello Guys,
I am setting up 2 node RAC on 11gR2 and Linux.
I have configured all the pre-installation steps that are required to run Grid Setup as per my understanding.
I have configure SAN partitions using multipath.
I can see my SAN volume when i query multipath -l
Then i configured the raw partitions by oracleasm. Configured and then created mount points:
/dev/oracleasm/disks/
CRSVOL1 DATAVOL1 FRAVOL1
Later on I created the disks using oracle asm command:
/usr/sbin/oracleasm createdisk CRSVOL1 /dev/mapper/racdbp1 and so on...
I have run /usr/sbin/oracleasm scandisks
Cleaning any stale ASM disks...
Scanning system for ASM disks...
And when i list disk with command /usr/sbin/oracleasm listdisks
it shows the disk like this on both nodes:
CRSVOL1
DATAVOL1
FRAVOL1
BUT during the installation screen when it comes to create ASM Disk Groups It shows nothing in the add disk frame, I cant select the volumes I can list, like i did above.
Any hint please?
Thanks, Imran

Thanks but my problem is very specific. I feel that i have performed all the necessary steps to get complete the step i discussed above. As per different commands all is set. But i am unable to see Disks and Disks Paths during the installation screen. This is another output to verify if the installe user have rights on the asm devices:
[grid@racnode1 mapper]$ cd /dev/oracleasm/disks/
DATAVOL1 ETSCRS1 ETSVOT1 ETSVOT3 FRAVOL1
ETSASM1 ETSCRS2 ETSVOT2 EXTRADM
[grid@racnode1 mapper]$ cd /dev/oracleasm/disks/
[grid@racnode1 disks]$ ls -ltr
total 0

brw-rw---- 1 grid asmadmin 8, 5 Oct 2 16:47 DATAVOL1
brw-rw---- 1 grid asmadmin 8, 6 Oct 2 16:47 FRAVOL1
brw-rw---- 1 grid asmadmin 8, 7 Oct 2 16:47 ETSVOT1
brw-rw---- 1 grid asmadmin 8, 8 Oct 2 16:47 ETSVOT2

brw-rw---- 1 grid asmadmin 8, 10 Oct 2 16:47 ETSCRS1
brw-rw---- 1 grid asmadmin 8, 11 Oct 2 16:47 ETSCRS2
brw-rw---- 1 grid asmadmin 8, 13 Oct 2 16:47 EXTRADM
I will appreciate if you can help me to get through this step... Is there anything else needs to be verified?

Can not find disks when creating ASM disk group (11.0.2.3 on OEL 6)

Hi
I`m trying to install 11.0.2.3 Grid on OEL6.
Every thing is fine until it prompt to ask where I want to put OCR and VOTING DISK. I choose to put them in ASM. So it prompt another window to ask create ASM DISK GROUP.
In this window there was an area called "add disk". There suppose to be some disks listed in this area to chose. But in my case, nothing here. I can not chose disks to add to ASM DISK GROUP.
Below are descriptions of my installation.
Oracle Grid 11.0.2.3
OEL 6 as the platform.
I use two nodes mounting the same NFS. I created some zero-padded files on the NFS directory as the ASM DISKS. (This disks should be showing the the area above)
I install everything using only one account oracle. The group is oinstall and dba
Edited by: Kramer on Jun 5, 2013 8:52 PM

Well as i see your asm_diskstring could be the problem. ASMlib would have been there isnt it , I would want you to stick to default value and then try also I would suggest you to once post the output of the following and lets see whats happening
[root@ora ~]# /etc/init.d/oracleasm scandisks
[root@ora ~]# /etc/init.d/oracleasm listdisks
[root@ora ~]# ls -ltr /dev/oracleasm/disks/*

I have an imac 2009 the disk drive is damaged and I have lost the passwords I need to reset passwords I tried booting with a macosx disk from an external hard drive but did not read the drive how else can I reset password ?

I have an imac 2009 the disk drive is damaged and I have lost the passwords I need to reset passwords I tried booting with a macosx disk from an external hard drive but did not read the drive how else can I reset password ?
I have a 2012 mac book pro can I use that to connect with firewire and load osx that way? and how woudl I do that?
Thanks so much!

To what password are you referring? Do you mean your user account's admin password? Or do you mean the master password for File Vault or do you mean a Firmware Password?
For an admin password:
Forgot Your Account Password
For Snow Leopard and earlier
     Mac OS X 10.6- If you forget your administrator password
For Lion/Mountain Lion
    Boot to the Recovery HD:
Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
     When the menubar appears select Terminal from the Utilities menu.
     Enter resetpassword at the prompt and press RETURN. Follow
     instructions in the dialog window that will appear.
     Or see Reset a Mac OS X 10.7 Lion Password and
     OS X Lion- Apple ID can be used to reset your user account password.
If you cannot do the above then try this:
1. Boot to Safe Mode by restarting and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND-S keys until a black screen with white type appears.
2. At the prompt, type the following commands pressing return after each command line:
     /sbin/fsck -yf
     If you do not receive a "Filesystem OK" message then repeat this command until
     you do. If after seven tries you still do not receive a "Filesystem OK" message,
     then the system is corrupted and needs to be reinstalled.
     mount -uw /
     cd /private/var/db/netinfo
     mv local.nidb local.old
     rm ../.AppleSetupDone
     shutdown -r now
The second-to-last command above will cause OS X to think that the operating system is newly installed, and when the new owner starts up the computer it will send him/her to the startup wizard where he/she can start a new user without reinstalling.
This last method does not actually change a password. It simply removes the user accounts and lets you create an initial admin account as if the computer were new out of the box.
How to reset the OS X password without a startup CD:
Reboot into Single-user Mode. Enter the following and press RETURN after each command line
   1. Type fsck -fy
   2. Type mount -uw /
   3. Type passwd <username>
I have never tried this method myself.

Determining the Number of raw disks in an ASM Disk group

How can i find the number of raw disks and their storage capacities in an ASM Disk group?

Hi,
Not checking for ASM REDUNDANCY, but just the information you requested:SELECT
     DG.NAME,
     RDSK.PATH,
     RDSK.TOTAL_MB
FROM V$ASM_DISK RDSK, V$ASM_DISKGROUP DG
WHERE DG.GROUP_NUMBER = RDSK.GROUP_NUMBER
ORDER BY 1,2;Regards,
Yoann.

My new TC did not come with a disk to install the AP utility.

My new TC did not come with a disk to install the AP utility. It is flashing amber and I have no way to figure out why. I have downloaded recent and prior AP utilities but they don't load to my computer. Please advise.

What operating system is your computer using?
If you have a Mac, click the Apple icon in the upper left corner of the screen, then click on About This Mac. Post back with the OS X Version number that you see there.

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