Edit listener from ASM instance in OEM

Hi
I've installed Oracle Grid Infrastructure for a standalone server, and next installed database 11g. I have ASM and orcl instances. Under ASM (in ORACLE_HOME/grid) I have listener (listener.ora file), and under orcl instance I have only tnsnames.ora (so I can connect by local naming). In OEM Database Control, in Net Services Administration I see only local names, but not listeners. So, can I edit listener from ASM instance in OEM Database Control?
Thanks awfully for help.
Regards

Yes, you can use the Net Manager also to do the same but it should be started from the Grid Home and not from the Oracle Home.

Accessing an ASM Instance via OEM

Gaining access to an ASM-managed database instance via Enterprise manager is done in the same way as accessing a "normal" RDBMS database: http://<host>:<port>/em/
Is it also possible to access the ASM instance itself via the OEM? If so, what's the typical URL/port for access?
I have not seen this documented, and I wonder if it's possible to access the ASM instance via OEM after all, or can you view/manage ASM instance information only via SQL statements.
Thank you.
John

That makes perfect sense... nufortunately, I'm sitll confused. I just found a series of screen shots that explicitly say "Database Control", and the home page shows the "+asm" link I mentioned in my earlier post. What's more: these screen shots are directly from Oracle! Their "Oracle By Example" series has an entry called "Creating and Managing ASM Disk Groups", and the section called "Viewing Disk Groups" has a series of shots that clearly shows first an ASM-managed instance, and then the ASM instance itself, being directly managed by Database Control.
I wish someone from Oracle, or someone who has seen this in action, would chime in and let us know how it works!
Thanks.

Cannot see EMC PowerPath devices from ASM instance on Solaris 10 x86

Hello,
I'm trying to use EMC PowerPath devices as ASM disks, but cannot see any usable disk
from the ASM instance.
My configuration:
Hardware: Sun X4600M2
Solaris 10 8/07 x86_64
EMC PowerPath 5.0.2_b030
Oracle 10.2.0.1.0
The PP devices are /dev/rdsk/emcpower* which are softlinks to the correpsonding /devices/pseudo/emcp*.
Since I know that these devices must have suitable permissions, I've set ownership and
permission of e.g. /devices/pseudo/emcp@1:a,raw to oracle:dba and 660. The ASM instance's
init.ora file has *.asm_diskstring='/dev/rdsk/emcpower*', so I assume it will scan all
/dev/rdsk/emcpower* softlinks and fetch the ones with sufficient permissions. But nonetheless
a 'select count(*) from v$asm_disk' gives me 0, i.e. nothing.
I've just read some recommendations of using slice 6 of the disk with partition type 'usr', but
this seems to me quite superficial. I would like to use simply slice (=partition) 0 starting from
cylinder 1.
I would be very glad for any solution.
Best regards
Udo

Problem solved.
After some tests with plain files instead of devices via undocumented parameter
asmallow_only_raw_disks=false in order to check ASM functionality,
I've finally created new node devices only for oracle (and set_asm_allow... back to true).
original EMC PowerPath pseudo devices (e.g.):
-bash-3.00$ ls -l /devices/pseudo/emcp@13:a,raw
crw------- 1 root sys 215, 832 Dec 10 15:29 /devices/pseudo/emcp@13:a,raw
corresponding new character device with proper ownership and permissions:
-bash-3.00$ ls -l /u01/app/ora-dev/raw/emcp13a
crw-rw---- 1 oracle dba 215, 832 Dec 10 14:56 /u01/app/ora-dev/raw/emcp13a
With *.asm_diskstring='/u01/app/ora-dev/raw/emcp*' in ASM-instance's init.ora,
I was able to see the devices via select * from v$asm_disk and could create the
ASM diskgroups.

Upgrade ASM instance database 10g to 11g

Hi,
In my environment, I have ASM instance database 10.2.0.3 running on solaris 10 (64-bit), I need to upgrade to ASM instance 11.1.0.6 database. please guide me an overview of steps...
thanks in advance

Thanks for the response,
Sorry, In my environment I know database (10.2.0.3) is mounted in ASM diskgroups, now i have a concern
1) If database is mounted in ASM diskgroups, could it be a database instance or it has to be only ASM instance connected to the database?
2) As in my upgrade from ASM instance (10.2.0.3) to ASM instance (11.1.0.6), do we need to upgrade asm instance as well as database? i mean to invoke DBUA twice for upgrading ASM instance then for upgrading database as well?
Sorry for some silly questions...please make me clear...

How to clean the asm instance from RAC manually

for some reason i run crs_unregister asm and crs_unregister lsnr to remove the asm and listener resource from crs yesterday
and today i want rebuild the asm instance ,so i run dbca again ,but error
Error when starting ASM instance on node rac1: PRKS-1009 : Failed to start ASM instance "+ASM1" on node "rac1", [PRKS-1011 : Failed to check status of ASM instance "+ASM1" on node "rac1", [CRS-0210: Could not find resource ora.rac1.ASM1.asm.]]

DBCA could not startup the ASM instance on node: rac1. Manual intervention is required to recreate these instances. If you choose to proceed, ASM diskgroups will not be mounted on non-started remote ASM instances. Do you want to proceed with ASM diskgroup management?
and problem is how to do this "Manual intervention is required to recreate these instances", I already do 1, dd the asm disk, 2, remove the +ASM directory from $ORACLE_BASE, 3,clean ASM info from /etc/oratab, so what i can do next ?
i try restart crs ,now the error info is different !!

Hi,
Can you post the dbca log?
and do you share the asm home with oracle home? if it is separated then add LISTENER_+ASM1 in tnsnames in ASMHOME, otherwise add it in ORACLEHOME
Cheers

Creating standby database from ASM production database in standard edition

Hi,
I am using oracle 10g release 2 standard edition. I recently created a database instance and wanted to create a standby database instance. After sorting out how to achieve this without managed standby and data guard I finally got it working and the shipped archive logs are applied and working well on the standby database.
Now I am thinking of re-creating my production database and using ASM for storage managment. By doing this can a standby database still be created from a primary database using ASM? I want to be sure I can before I commit to using ASM for the production instance and manually creating a standby database from that instance.
Note: I am using standard edition not enterprise edition.

Hi
For Oracle SE standby, you can visit www.anbultechnologies.co.uk , they have a brilliant product name DRMC which is Automatic disaster recovery solution with automatic failover in case primary goes down due to any reason.
We are using this product for more than 2 years and it works like a dream using Oracle Standard Edition. We have depolyed more databases and Standby solution within the prices of 2 EE edition licenses.
You can give ma try as well.

ASM Instance registeration with LISTENER

Hi,
For the purpose of Oracle Security change, I wanted to add SECURE_REGISTER_LISTENER = (TCP) to the listener.ora file. Then, I need to stop and start the listener, and to get the database register with the listener, I am supposed to do ALTER SYSTEM REGISTER;
My question is:
How will I register the ASM instance with the listener, please?
is it same like registering database,i.e., ALTER SYSTEM REGISTER; while connecting with sys / as sysasm? will the ASM INSTANCE register dynamically?
DB=10.2.0.4 OS=RHL

After a change to listener.ora, when I start listener and register, will I be able to see the same as below (regarding +ASM)? Because all the services should be running after the change, rite?

Stop and then start Listener from OEM

Hi,
I am new to Oracle. I notice after stopping listener using OEM on Windows XP, the TNSLNR.exe is terminated as I expected. At that point, all connections include OEM, iSQL*PLUS and SQL*PLUS should close connection.
If this is right, how can one start listener from OEM? One needs listener work before using OEM to config something else. What is the purpose of Start button for listener on OEM? Even more perplexing me is that iSQL*PLUS is still works! Does iSQL*PLUS not use listener for connection?
Your help will be appreciated,
-Hong

Hi
i think its not possible to start the listener from oem, because the oem use the listener to communicate to the db.

How to copy archivelog-files from a ASM instance to another ASM instance

Hello ,
our RAC database has to be moved to another Datacenter. The database has a size of several Terrabyte. Will will create a standby database (on a cluster) on the new datacenter (using RMAN backup). Since the RMAN backup takes rather long we would like to copy the archive logs to the new datacenter. Since the archivelog-files are stored on a dirskgroup of an asm instance we have the following question:
- how can the archivelog files get copied from the current location to the new location?

Many thanks for your answer...
As a matter of fact the archivelogs are not backuped on a filesystem. If so we would copy them from the source to the destination host (that's easy).
The question is "how to get them copied from one ASM diskgroup to another ASM diskgroup". RMAN might be a good solution - but we would need to
figure that out...
We talking about 100 GB of archivelogs a day - therefore we don't want to wait until the standby database is configured and online. To have the archivelogs
already on the new host in the new datacenter would save alot of time.What is ASM version?
The copy is peer to peer? (i.e Can you copy files from one ASM to another directly?)

Upgrade direct from 9i File System DB to 10g ASM instance

Can I upgrade from a 9i file system based instance directly to a 10g ASM based instance? without the middle step of a 10g file system instance.
Thanks
MN

The minimum compatibility for ASM storage system is 10.1.0, it is not possible to manage 9i instances in ASM, and there is no way to waive the 10g migration requirement.
If you are planning to use 10g ASM storage then you will have to migrate or upgrade your database to 10g first. Next you will have to move your datafiles, control and log files into the ASM storage.
0. Configure your +ASM instance
1. Upgrade to 10g (Upgrade procedure) or Migrate (exp from 9i/imp to 10g)
2. In case you upgraded then use RMAN as stated in the below given reference to move your datafiles to the ASM instance, or if you created the database in 10g make sure you defined +ASM as the default storage mechanism

Problem with ASM page in OEM

I created an ASM instance manually. Then I created a database using ASM with DBCA. The installation was good, only I ignored a msgbox about user/password of ASM.
When I enter to Oracle Enterprise Manager from browser, it seems to work well, but when I click to link ASM page(general section) appears a Actual status is DOWN. I cant see any info about ASM. I checked the alerts an appers the next message: "Failed to connect to the ASM instance. ORA-12541: TNS:no listener (DBD ERROR: OCIServerAttach)".
If I use sqlplus to connect to ASM instance, it works very good. ALso, I created an tablespace on diskgroup.
Any ideas in order to see the ASM info in the OEM?

Asm, instance and service failing to start 10g rac redhat el5

hi,
i have been following a how to guide from oracle's website about implementing a 10g rac system using el5 (http://www.oracle.com/technology/pub/articles/hunter_rac10gr2_iscsi.html), by the end of the installation and setup I had both the nodes up and running and all services were up and running.

srvctl start asm -n rac01and it starts but the instance and service on the rebooted node still wont start. is there a log file which tells me what the error is when it tries to start the instance? what can I do to ensure that if a node is rebooted that all of the services get started correctly and the node automatically rejoins the cluster (i thought I had set all of this from the instructions of the guide I was following).

11g R2 Grid Infrastructure asmca cannot detect 11g R1 ASM instance

I am playing with 11g ASM with XEN (one node on host (or dom0) and another node on vm (or dom1)) and was trying to do a Clusterware + ASM upgrade from 11.0.6 to 11.2.0.

Hi Thtsang,
sorry for not coming back to you earlier and thanks for "the helpful".
So, are you saying that after you have removed all the environment variables, you still got the error message "ORA-01034: ORACLE not available"? I thought you got an "ASM upgrade failed", because ASM was down at the time of the upgrade, which you then corrected saying: "In fact, ASM instance was started from Grid Infrastructure home.". Overall, I need to say that I am a bit confused to be honest.
The alert log entry sounds promising, although, one would need to see more context. For: "But when I use crsctl / srvctl to start ASM, it is still running in 11g R1 Oracle Home." So, something went wrong with the update. For: "BTW, if asmca does not work for me, can I upgrade manually?" - ASMCA is the tool that will perform an ASM upgrade. You can call it interactively, but you will have to use it.
Support note ID 950200.1 - "ASM 11gR2: How To Upgrade An ASM Instance To Release 11gR2 (11.2.0.1.0)?" describes an ASM upgrade to 11.2. Maybe this note can help you and if it is only to analyze what stage your cluster is in right now. It sounds like, this would be first thing that we need to find out.
Good luck. Thanks,
Markus

How to create an asm instance manaually? oracle 11gr2.

can anyone give me document about it?

Hi,
This is a simple answer:
Automatic Storage Management (ASM)
ASM was a new storage option introduced with Oracle Database 10gR1 that provides the services of a filesystem, logical volume manager, and software RAID in a platform-independent manner. ASM can stripe and mirror your disks, allow disks to be added or removed while the database is under load, and automatically balance I/O to remove "hot spots." It also supports direct and asynchronous I/O and implements the Oracle Data Manager API (simplified I/O system call interface) introduced in Oracle9i.
ASM is not a general-purpose filesystem and can be used only for Oracle data files, redo logs, and control files. Files in ASM can be created and named automatically by the database (by use of the Oracle Managed Files feature) or manually by the DBA. Because the files stored in ASM are not accessible to the operating system, the only way to perform backup and recovery operations on databases that use ASM files is through Recovery Manager (RMAN).
ASM is implemented as a separate Oracle instance that must be up if other databases are to be able to access it. Memory requirements for ASM are light: only 64 MB for most systems.
Installing ASM
On Linux platforms, ASM can use raw devices or devices managed via the ASMLib interface. Oracle recommends ASMLib over raw devices for ease-of-use and performance reasons. ASMLib 2.0 is available for free download from OTN. This section walks through the process of configuring a simple ASM instance by using ASMLib 2.0 and building a database that uses ASM for disk storage.
Determine Which Version of ASMLib You Need
ASMLib 2.0 is delivered as a set of three Linux packages:
* oracleasmlib-2.0 - the ASM libraries
* oracleasm-support-2.0 - utilities needed to administer ASMLib
* oracleasm - a kernel module for the ASM library
Each Linux distribution has its own set of ASMLib 2.0 packages, and within each distribution, each kernel version has a corresponding oracleasm package. The following paragraphs describe how to determine which set of packages you need.
First, determine which kernel you are using by logging in as root and running the following command:
uname -rm
Ex:
# uname -rm
2.6.9-22.ELsmp i686
The example shows that this is a 2.6.9-22 kernel for an SMP (multiprocessor) box using Intel i686 CPUs.
Use this information to find the correct ASMLib packages on OTN:
1. Point your Web browser to http://www.oracle.com/technology/tech/linux/asmlib/index.html
2. Select the link for your version of Linux.
3. Download the oracleasmlib and oracleasm-support packages for your version of Linux
4. Download the oracleasm package corresponding to your kernel. In the example above, the oracleasm-2.6.9-22.ELsmp-2.0.0-1.i686.rpm package was used.
Next, install the packages by executing the following command as root:
rpm -Uvh oracleasm-kernel_version-asmlib_version.cpu_type.rpm \
oracleasmlib-asmlib_version.cpu_type.rpm \
oracleasm-support-asmlib_version.cpu_type.rpm
Ex:
# rpm -Uvh \
> oracleasm-2.6.9-22.ELsmp-2.0.0-1.i686.rpm \
> oracleasmlib-2.0.1-1.i386.rpm \
> oracleasm-support-2.0.1-1.i386.rpm

Configuring ASMLib
Before using ASMLib, you must run a configuration script to prepare the driver. Run the following command as root, and answer the prompts as shown in the example below.
# /etc/init.d/oracleasm configure
Configuring the Oracle ASM library driver.
This will configure the on-boot properties of the Oracle ASM library
driver. The following questions will determine whether the driver is
loaded on boot and what permissions it will have. The current values
will be shown in brackets ('[]'). Hitting <ENTER> without typing an
answer will keep that current value. Ctrl-C will abort.
Default user to own the driver interface []: oracle
Default group to own the driver interface []: dba
Start Oracle ASM library driver on boot (y/n) [n]: y
Fix permissions of Oracle ASM disks on boot (y/n) [y]: y
Writing Oracle ASM library driver configuration: [ OK ]
Creating /dev/oracleasm mount point: [ OK ]
Loading module "oracleasm": [ OK ]
Mounting ASMlib driver filesystem: [ OK ]
Scanning system for ASM disks: [ OK ]
Next you tell the ASM driver which disks you want it to use. Oracle recommends that each disk contain a single partition for the entire disk. See Partitioning the Disks at the beginning of this section for an example of creating disk partitions.
You mark disks for use by ASMLib by running the following command as root:
/etc/init.d/oracleasm createdisk DISK_NAME device_name
Tip: Enter the DISK_NAME in UPPERCASE letters.
Ex:
# /etc/init.d/oracleasm createdisk VOL1 /dev/sdb1
Marking disk "/dev/sdb1" as an ASM disk: [ OK ]
# /etc/init.d/oracleasm createdisk VOL1 /dev/sdc1
Marking disk "/dev/sdc1" as an ASM disk: [ OK ]
# /etc/init.d/oracleasm createdisk VOL1 /dev/sdd1
Marking disk "/dev/sdd1" as an ASM disk: [ OK ]
Verify that ASMLib has marked the disks:
# /etc/init.d/oracleasm listdisks
VOL1
VOL2
VOL3
Create the ASM Instance
ASM runs as a separate Oracle instance which can be created and configured using the Oracle Universal Installer. Now that ASMLib is installed and the disks are marked for use, you can create an ASM instance.
Log in as oracle and start runInstaller:
$ ./runInstaller
1. Select Installation Method
* Select Advanced Installation
* Click on Next
2. Specify Inventory Directory and Credentials
* Inventory Directory: /u01/app/oracle/oraInventory

* Enter the ASM SYS password and confirm
* Click on Next
7. Configure Automatic Storage Management
* Disk Group Name: DATA
* Redundancy
- High mirrors data twice.
- Normal mirrors data once. This is the default.
- External does not mirror data within ASM. This is typically used if an external RAID array is providing redundancy.
* Add Disks
The disks you configured for use with ASMLib are listed as Candidate Disks. Select each disk you wish to include in the disk group.
* Click on Next
8. Summary
* A summary of the products being installed is presented.
* Click on Install.
9. Execute Configuration Scripts
* At the end of the installation, a pop up window will appear indicating scripts that need to be run as root. Login as root and run the indicated scripts.

Access ASM instance remotely

Hi,
In a 2 nodes RAC environment, each ASM instance has its own HOME directory.
I was wondering wether it was possible to access the ASM instance remotely via SQLPLUS session or from a remote client (Toad, etc.)
I have seen the note 340277.1 and tried to configure listener and tnsnames for a remote connection but I still get the error : "ORA-12528: TNS:listener: all appropriate instances are blocking new connections".
Thanks for help
Bertrand

There is a known bug in TOAD. One of my colleagues found it on the TOAD support site. I am not sure what version it is fixed in.
I downloaded SQL*Developer, and used that with success.
