Dbca is not seeing ASM disks

I am installing standalone Oracle Enterprise edition (11.2.0.1) database on OEL 6 (ed Hat Enterprise Linux Server release 6.4) with 2.6.39-400.24.1.el6uek.x86_64 kernel on vmware workstation 9.0.2.
I installed grid infrastructure fine and was able to setup the asm instance. I have set up two asm disk groups with a member each.
I installed rdbms home in separate home and now I am trying to create database with dbca and it is not seeing the ASM instance.
Any idea why?

Umm - not really - you are still using an uncertified combination of database and OS software - just because you managed to install the software does not mean it will work as advertised. As noted, you will have to use 11.2.0.3, or downgrade to OEL 5.x to use a certified combination

DBCA Does Not Display ASM Disk Groups In 11.2.0.4

DBCA trying to create a database with a different user oracle than grid user. installed Grid infrastructure with user grid, and I was trying to create a database with user oracle (who’s the owner of oracle rdbms). But during this installation I wasn’t able to see any of my ASM disk. This is all under Oracle 11.2.0.4.

Checked Metalink apparently here is the answer. There should be nothing wrong if you follow the above four(4)
procedures and the output is good. Problem is when you click on ASM, click on OMF, then you have to click
on the open pane several times before the window with Disk Groups appears. Took 4 secs for it to appear.
It will not be immediate.

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.

DBCA can not use ASM for database storage due to following reason: Could no

Hi
I've a recently installed RAC11gR2(11.2.0.3) on HP-UX
I installed Grid Infrastructure with grid user:
Node1: # id grid

Node2: # id grid
uid=1100(grid) gid=1000(oinstall) groups=1031(dba),1021(asmdba)
I installed the Oracle Server with oracle user:
Node1: # id oracle

The big issue is... that the DBCA can not see the diskgroups. When I choose ASM Storage it can not see them. It shows the chart in blank and if i try to write the disk group, so the following message appears: can not use ASM for database storage due to following reason: Could not connect to ASM due to following error: ORA-01034 ORACLE not available
What can be passing in this case... ?
Thanks in advance

Thanks both
Really the problem initially was because of this:
[INS-06006] Passwordless SSH connectivity not set up between the following node(s): [node1, node2]. CVU may reports "PRVF-4007 : User equivalence check failed for user "user"" for same error
and I had to install node1 first and after node2 manually and perhaps for this the product was not well linked.
I resolved the problem establishing the keys with the wizard and after copying the following files from node1 to node2
/home/grid/.ssh -------> /home/grid/.ssh
authorized_keys
known_hosts
This is the procedure if you run the wizard at the node1.
The problem is that the wizard creates the keys incompletely...
Thanks

Can i install windows 7 via bootcamp (MB Air) while using remote disc? I put the windows 7 disk in my macbook pro drive, and connect to my brand new macbook air. In bootcamp i allocate the partition then i click install and bootcamp will not see the disk.

Can i install windows 7 via bootcamp (on my MB Air) while using remote disc? I put the windows 7 disk in my macbook pro drive, and connect to my brand new macbook air via remote disk. In bootcamp (on my air) i allocate the partition, then i click install, and bootcamp will not see the disk from my macbook pro's drive. How do i get the bootcamp assistant running on my MB air to automatically find the disk in my macbook pro with the ISO image of windows 7? The remote disk on my air can find the cd but bootcamp will not begin installing it. Anyway to do this without buying the damned usb drive?

I don't know first hand if you can use the Remote Disk option with Windows but as of 10.7.2 you can now use BCAssistant to make a bootable USB (thumb drive or external disk) W7 installer with the Boot Camp drivers installed also. Have you tried that yet?

We managed to figure it out...
It turns out that a previously failed -silent run of the OUI had left some Oracle files hanging about. The OUI not showing the ASM disks because they were associated to the failed installation. After removing 'ALL' the files from the failed installation and a reboot we were able to get through the full install successfully.
Make sure you fully clean up after a failed install...

SQL server 2012 does not see local disks other than C being started under domain account (which is local admin on the server)

Hi all. We have a SQL Server 2012 installed to a fresh Windows Server 2012 Server. There is a service account domain\rusystem01 created to run SQL services. It is added as a Local administrator on this server.
The issue is that SQL Server does not see any local drives (other than C drive) on the server if we run it from this domain service account (for example, we cannot move any databases to any other drives or setup backup).
It works fine (and other drives ARE available) if SQL Services are started from Network service account or Local service account (which is not recommended by Microsoft). But does not work from domain account.
Any ideas how to fix this?
MCP

>Any ideas how to fix this?
Apply NTFS ACLs for the folders (and perhaps volumes*) for SQL Server. Use the Per-Service SID, rather than the Service Account for the ACLs so they survive changing the service account.
The per-service SID is "NT Service\MSSQLSERVER" for a default instance and "NT Service\MSSQL$InstanceName" for a named instance.
*Volume ACLs are set in Disk Management.
David
David http://blogs.msdn.com/b/dbrowne/
David, would you please clarify what do you propose? I open D: volume on the Disk management and grant NT Service\MSSQL$DEV account with Full control permissions. Restarted SQL - no effect. Still only C: is visible for SQL.

Not seeing the disk i created using ASMlib

i'm installing oracle database 10g R2 on OL4, and i am using 5 iscsi drive on a vmware server. the disk are on this path /dev/sdb1, sdc1, sdd1, sde1, sdf1.
i've successfully installed the ASM library and 've successfully create the disk. i started dbca to create the asm instance and eventually the database but i can seem to find the disk. i have tried to change the disk discovery path but still didn't work.

Hi,
Execute:
strace -aef -o output.txt $ASM_HOME/bin/kfod asm_diskstring='ORCL:*' disk=all
After that, take a look at output.txt... And If You won't figure out the error, update here all lines in the output.txt that have the string Err#

OVS not seeing SAN disk (Netapp)

I have setup Oracle Virtual Mananger v3.1.1 on Oracle Linux with Oracle 11g standard. I have then created two OVS servers (HP DL380 G6) v3.0.3. I then discovered them ok on the OVM. I have created two SAN disks on our Netapp and presented them to both servers over fibre. I was able to see both disks from both servers, setup the server pool, add both servers in a cluster and then create a VM on one of them. So all ok so far.... Next I reboot one of the servers and it struggles to get back into the cluster. I can see that they are not picking up the SAN disks for ages after the reboot, in which case it cannot join the cluster. If I ssh onto the server and look in /dev/mapper the only file there is control. On the server that hasn't been rebooted for ages I can see both SAN disks. If I do service ovs-agent restart a number of times it then adds one of the SAN disks in but by then I cannot connect to the cluster. I have tried all sorts of things looking on forums. Can someone please help me please before I start from scratch and recable using NFS presented storage and try again. Has anyone else had this?

Hi, thanks for your input. At the moment one of the drives has come back (poolfsmnt) but not the storage mount. I have ran the fdisk -l and the results are below... I do have multiple paths but I only put the second fibre cable in each ovs due to the problem I was having, and that made no difference.
The disks I have created are a 100gb for the pool and 1tb for the storage...

Guest VM not seeing passthrough disk

I have a VM with 3 pass-through disks connected from the host. The VM starts fine and integration services are installed, but when I go to disk management the disk isn't there. I look in device manager and it doesn't show up either.
It sees the disk as valid otherwise it wouldn't start. The other 2 disks show up and work fine, just this one doesn't. I have tried making a new VM and seeing if that works but it doesn't see the disk either.
The disk set is 2 RAID 1 1.5tb drives that are working fine in the host OS when I online the disk in that OS and see if they are working fine, but when I offline the disks and boot up the VM it boots fine but it doesn't even find the disk, it is the phantom
disk because device manager doesn't see it and it still shows offline on the host OS, and the VM boots fine so it obviously sees it but after it boots it is anyone's guess what happens to it.
I have no idea what to do at this point and am very frustrated.

Hi,
So is there any way to fix this or do I need to return the board and get another one?

TM does not see my disk, but it shows up in finder.

I have connected an external hard drive through a USB connection. Finder sees it, and it comes up on my desktop. My problem, however, is when I try to connect to Time Machine. It doesn't show up when I click "choose backup disk." I also plugged in a flash drive, and it's on my desktop, but absent from time Machine. I've checked all the posts and looked where they told me, but to no avail. I am not a tech person, but I'm not an idiot, and right now, I am not a happy camper. I do have Fusion and parallels on my computer as well (I'm trying to decide which I like better). I don't see a connection on why that would impact it, but I'm throwing everything in as a possibility.

Yes, you need an HFS+ formatted drive to use Time Machine. Most external USB drives you get come formatted as FAT32 (which is an old PC format that the Mac can read/write to). Some of the tricks Time Machine uses (specifically, hard links) are not compatible with FAT32.
A good clue to when a drive is formatted as FAT32 is that the name shows up IN ALL CAPS.

IBook does not see Air Disk on AirPort Extreme

We have a few macs in my house (G5 desktop, MBP CD2, and an iBook G4). Both the G5 and the MBP see the Air Disk connect to the AE network but the iBook doesn't. iBook is running 10.3.9 and I use the "go" menu to connect to the server (IP address for the AE basestation). It worked last night with a different drive that I was testing. I purchased a new enclosure (Newer Tech's miniStack). The HD is a WD 250 GB. The AE basestation is set up to connect to the disk via the basestation's password.
Thanks.
Tom

To access the disk attached to the AirPort Extreme base station (AEBS) your iBook must be upgraded to OS 10.4.8 or better. See AirPort Extreme (802.11n) - Technical Specifications.

DBCA does not show any asmlib disks

Dear All,
I am facing issue while creating ASM disk using ASMLib. It is not discovering ASM disk via dbca. As per oracle it should discover ASM disk using ‘ORCL:*’ diskstrings. But in my case it is not discovering disk. But I am able to create ASM disk using ‘/dev/oracleasm/disk/*’ diskstrings. We are using emcpower path for storage. I have also referred Metalink ID 738480.1 but no luck so far.
Below are the details.

The Mac however does not see the disk on my desktop any ideas where to start. it did work when i first got the router and it mounted fine, ive did the updates for the router too. so everything is up to date. everything else is fine apart from my external HD

Does this have anything to do with why i cant see my PC on the network too???

Hello duane the disk is formatted for the mac
straight outta the box. Its the Iomega they produced
for the mac mini specifically. As i said it was
working fine before the updates etc for the firmware
and i cant connect to my windows network neither!
Is the disk recognized when connected directly to your mini USB port?

Migration Assistant Does Not See Attached External Disk

I just purchased a MacBook Air to replace an aging MacBook Pro. Both are running the latest Mountain Lion (10.8.3). I want to move my files from the MBP to the MBA using Migration Assistant. I first tried doing this over wi-fi, but when I learned it would take more than 99 hours, I chose to cancel the operation.
So I connected a new Seagate HD to the MBP and configured Time Machine to back up to it. I let Time Machine run all day, creating hourly updates after the initial backup. I then disconnected the drive, attached it to the MBA and rebooted. I ran Migration Assistant and chose to migrate from a Time Machine backup. However, Migration Assistant does not see the disk. Yet the disk is mounted on the desktop, I can read and write to it, and I can see the Time Machine backups. Only Migration Assistant seems unable to recognize the disk.
This isn't the first time I've had problems with MA (see my posting history). When it works, it's terrific - my new computer has all the settings and preferences as the old. My applications are all registered and operational. So I'm very frustrated that I can't get it to work with my new MBA. It really does diminish the experience of getting a new computer. That, plus I don't want to spend days and weeks moving things over manually, re-installing, etc.
C'mon, Apple. Why is Migration Assistant so difficult? I'd chalk it up to user error, but this many times?

So, finally after fourten hours of unattended "migration," I let it continue overnight and in the morning found that the time remaining had not moved a minute. I canceled MA and found that not one iota of data had transferred.
As far as I'm concerned, Migration Assistant ranks lower on the Apple success list than Open Doc, Newton, Pink and Taligent.
Now I have to manually install software I want to use on the MBA, apply licenses, and all the other stuff I would expect from Windows.
NOT happy.
