Error at ASM instance creation - PRKS-1009

Hello all,
I am in the process of creating a 2 Node RAC database, on VMWare.
OS - RHEL 4 Oracle 10g
I have successfully installed the cluster. After this i was in the process of installing Oracle 10g Binaries.. which installed almost fine, until the time when i had to setup ASM storage options in the DBCA.
Unfortunately, my bad luck the computer rebooted after an automatic (windows update) *Remember i am using RHEL on VMWare server).
I had to unintall the binaries using the Oracle GUI... after that i removed all the files from db_1 folder.
I re-initiated the process of installing the db binaries, until the time i came to the asm option, there i got a prompt asking me to re-create the asm instance, which for which i clicked ok... here.. i got an error.
PRKS-1009 Failed to start ASM Instance "+ASM2" on node "rac2".
[CRS-1028: Dependency analysis failed because of.
[CRS-0233: Resource 'ora.rac2.ASM2.asm' has placement error.
There is one more issue i have, i am unable to use crs_stat command, each time it throws an error saying crs_stat command not found!!
Please guide...                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                           

Hello all,
I have managed to solve this problem.
The asm instances were running in the background even after uninstalling the binaries.
I removed the asm instances.
before that i stopped the asm instances.
/crs_stat -t
Stop instance name
crs_stop <output from crs_stat> asm 1
crs_stop <output from crs_stat> asm 2
srvctl remove asm -n rac1 -i +ASM1 -f
srvctl remove asm -n rac2 -i +ASM1 -f
then re-create the asm instance
Thanks!!

  • Strange error in explicit instance creation

    Dear all,
    using NW2004s I have a strange error while explicit instance creation:
    Let´s say I have a class a in the Class Builder calles c1. With method "check_data".
    In my program I do the following:
    DATA: ref_chk TYPE REF TO object.
    create object ref_chk type ('C1').
    c1->check_data( );
    If I do so I get an syntax error: The method check_data is unknown, private or protected.
    But the method is public.
    I need the explicite instance creation beacuse the class changes and I want to set it with a variable.
    Any idea what´s wrong? How can I solve the problem?
    Regards
    Roman

    Hi Roman,
    The best way to do this would be to use an Interface and then cast the class to an interface type once it has been created. However if this is not possible (i.e. the interface is not fixed for all the different classes you want to create) you can use the following code to call your class.
    DATA: ref_chk TYPE REF TO object.
    create object ref_chk type ('C1').
    call method ref_chk->('CHECK_DATA').
    Just a note the 'CHECK_DATA' in brackets can also be replaced with a variable as in the follwing example:
    DATA: ref_chk TYPE REF TO object.
    DATA: method_name type string.
    create object ref_chk type ('C1').
    method_name = 'CHECK_DATA'.
    call method ref_chk->(method_name).
    Cheers,

  • Slow Susbend error in ASM instance

    Hi.,
    I am new to grid computing.Our system is build by grid computing now a days we are facing the Slow suspend Error in ASM instance.for this ASM is freezed and then we restart all Database and ASM instance in the particular node.After that its working very fine.we facing this problem very frequently ( weekly twice ).
    Please help me on this.
    Thanks & Regards
    Karthick.

    Are you saying it is not suspending at all [ are you using ALTER SYSTEM SUSPEND ? ] or just that it is doing it slowly ?
    Either way probably best to raise a TAR ...... what errors are you getting ?

  • ORA-00488: RBAL process terminated with error causing ASM instance to crash

    Hi Freinds,
    I am manging a three node ASM cluster on 10g(10.2.0.2).Yesterday I observed one of the ASM instance got crashed .On reviewing the Alert log of crashed ASM instance I found
    "*ORA-00488: RBAL process terminated with error*"
    and subsequently
    "*PMON: terminating instance due to error 488*".
    I could restart the crashed instance without an issues but I want to know what kind of event could lead to such scenario.
    I searched net and metalink but didn't found any helpful information.
    Did any of you faced similar issues and do you have understanding why and when it happens.
    Thanks in Advance
    Arindam.

    Hi,
    There is bug reported on such issue, please check further on metalink if you have support.

  • ASM Instance Creation

    Hi,
    I need to just create a new ASM instance on solaris without RAC,can anyone share docs of what are the pre-reuquiite and the details of creation of ASM Instance.
    Regards,
    Hussain

    The ASM OS prereqs are the same as the DB prereqs - e.g kernel parameters, OS packages.
    Really difficult to give advice if you won't say what version of the OS, what version of the database, what storage etc.
    Some basic docs here :-

  • RAC ASM instance creation

    Can we configure ASM instance on all nodes in RAC at the same time?

    790066 wrote:
    Thanks for your reply.
    Do we have centralized ASM instance for all nodes?
    If yes does it should be created on shared device or something else???Normally database will reside in SHARED STORAGE and ASM & RBDMS instances willbe in stand alone systems..
    ASM diskgorup will be sharable to all the instances... not the instance can be sharable
    Hope you understood.
    Thanks

    Hi,
    I believe your OCR is corrupted....so restore the OCR from most recent backup (before error ).

  • Trying to create ASM instance, thinks one already exists?

    I've got a problem with creating the ASM instance. Basically, I've reinstalled (v11.1.0.6) clusterware, and two database software installs (one for asm, one for db) due to a san swap. Now, I believe that there is still a hangover to the original installation. When creating the ASM instance through DBCA on Windows, I get the following:
    DBCA could not startup the ASM instance configured on this node. To proceed with ASM diskgroup management you need the ASM instance to be up and running. Do you want to recreate the ASM instance on this node?
    Yes
    Enter password
    DBCA will now create and start the ASM instance. After the ASM instance is started, you can create disk groups to be used as storage for your database.
    OK
    ASM Instance Creation...
    Encountered file error when copying listeners from home=D:\oracle\product\11.1.0\asm_2
    OK
    The operation will be stopped. Re-run DBCA after successfully running NetCA.
    I have a listener running (listener_rac), I have a similar problem with netca as it says I already have a listener called listener, which I do not, however, I have created listener_rac instead.
    I feel trhat the problem is that ASM1 (for node 1) or ASM2 (for node 2) already exists. However, I can not find either of these. I can create an ASM instance in single node mode, however, this creates an instance +ASM, which does not conflict.
    How do I find the non-existent instance, and remove it? (not in registry or services)
    Alternatively, any other ideas as to what is happening?
    Thank you for your time.

    I have a listener running (listener_rac), I have a similar problem with netca as it says I already have a listener called listener, which I do not, however, I have created listener_rac insteadDBCA created your listener... you can check on listener status
    srvctl status nodeapps  -n node01
    Listener is running on node: node01
    srvctl status nodeapps  -n node02
    Listener is running on node: node02
    if not start, start it by
    Usage: srvctl start listener -n <node_name> [-l <lsnr_name_list>]
    srvctl start listener  -n node01
    by the way, you cam use "netca" delete/recreate (listener_rac)
    After that, point to ASM:
    I feel trhat the problem is that ASM1 (for node 1) or ASM2 (for node 2) already exists. However, I can not find either of these. What did you see?
    crs_stat
    srvctl status asm -n node01
    srvctl status asm -n node02
    if you see asm on node01/node2... you can start them if thet offline
    srvctl start asm -n node01
    srvctl start asm -n node02
    and then.. use "DBCA" to help create ASM diskgroups.
    I can create an ASM instance in single node mode, however, this creates an instance +ASM, which does not conflict.that can conflict.. don't start it (+ASM)
    How do I find the non-existent instance, and remove it? (not in registry or services)
    Alternatively, any other ideas as to what is happening?use "crs_stat" command
    http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B28359_01/rac.111/b28255/crsref.htm#CWADD6025

    Hi,
    i was not aware of ASM anymore, i can give some more details of this.
    There was already an instance named +ASM in the host, which has the diskgroup 'DBDATA' created.
    But now i have created a new instance and i was trying to connect to the same diskgroup.
    I dont have permission of the root, but i have the oracle login.
    could u pleaze help me in this regard...
    i need to connect to the diskgroup, if i try to stop the other instance, i was not getting the error, but the diskgroup is getting dis-mounted.
    thnx alot for the replies

    I add 3 SCSI vmware disks. and then use them as a raw device. no ASMLib is used.
    I refer below tutorial
    [http://www.oracle-base.com/articles/10g/asm-using-asmlib-and-raw-devices.php]
    That tutorial picks up after you created the disks.
    How did you create the virtual disks attatched to your vm? What are its properties - from VMWorksation's perspective.
    How did you create the "copy" of the vm?
    It depends on how you actually created the disks, at the vm level, not the partitioning and formatting at the vm's OS level. I've used Tim's tutorials myself on some other ASM related projects, and he typically has you create the ASM disks as 'sharable', which would mean they would not copy necessarily copy with the vm. I've not played around the with variants much, but I'm pretty sure what you are seeing is a result of either the way the disk was created in the original vm, or the way you made the copy of the vm, or both.
    Take a look at the machine properties of the two vms in the VMWorkstation control panel, looking at the HDD definitions. Compare and contrast.Hi EdStevens,
    My problem resolved with below steps. Thanks fro your replies.
    export ORACLE_SID=+ASM
