How do I copy a controlfile to ASM

I have a database in which the datafiles are in and ASM instance but two controlfiles are multiplexed to normal ext3 linux filesystems.
How do I copy the controlfile to ASM to multiplex the controlfile there too ? Can I use rman convert to do this ?

if your disk group is data1, then set control_file='data/control01.ctl' in init.ora file
startup nomount your database using init.ora file
RMAN>connect target;
RMAN>restore controlfile from '<your_location>';
RMAN>alter database mount;
RMAN>alter database open;

  • Controlfile on ASM performance question

    Seeing Controlfile Enqueue performance spikes, consideration are to move control file to separater diskgroup(need outage) ? or add some disk(from different luns,( i prefer this approach) in the same disk group , seems like slow disk is casing this issue...
    2nd question :can snapshot controlfile be placed on ASM storage?

    Following points may help:
    - Separating the control file to another diskgroup may make things even worse in case that the total number of disks are insufficient in the new disk group.
    - Those control file contention issues are usually nothing to do with the storage throughput you have but the number of operations requiring different levels of exclusion on the control files.
    - Since multiple copies of controlfiles are updated concurrently a possible, sometimes, problem is that the secondary copy of controlfile is slower than the other. Please check that this is not the issue (different tiers of storage may cause such problems)

  • How to ensure copy

    Oracle 10g and OEL
    i am taking coldbackup of datafiles,controlfiles,redologfiles,parameter files.
    after copying
    using
    tar -Pcvf
    make all this files into one file and
    scp to backup server.
    i would like to ensure
    all files are copied during copy process.
    LAST WEEK there is a trouble in copying of two datafiles, so the backup was not complete.
    how to ensure copying of all files during backup?
    can we check the status of copy after every copy command inside shell script.
    santhanam.

    Hi,
    If Cold backup, try MD-5 checksum
    md5sum command generates a 32-bit MD5 hash value of the files.
    Two files with the same checksum can be considered identical.
    - get original file's md5 (#md5sum original_file)
    - scp
    - check the MD5 of copied file has not changed (#md5sum copied_file)

  • Duplicating controlfile in ASM

    Hello all,
    I've just created a 10g stand alone database with just one controlfile. I have just one DG but I want to multiplex it using RMAN copy.
    Can someone tell me what are the steps to duplicate the controlfile in ASM?
    On controlfile will reside in +DG/<DID>/controlfile and other will be in +DG/<DID>/datafile directories in the same DG.
    rman copy from to
    alter system set control_files='+DG/<DID>/controlfile/ct1.f','+DG/<DID>/datafile/ct2.f' scope=spfile
    Thanks

    see the oracle docs :
    Performing RMAN Recovery: Advanced Scenarios
    "RMAN uses the autobackup format and DBID to determine where to hunt for the control file autobackup. If one is found, RMAN restores the control file to all control file locations listed in the CONTROL_FILES initialization parameter.""

  • How can I copy mp3 files from my Itunes library to an SD card for use in a non-apple phone?

    How can I copy mp3 files from my Itunes library to an SD card for use in a non-apple phone?  I can physically copy the tunes as mp3's but the phone does not seem to be able to play all of them.   Do I need to copy an entire album or can I just pick & choose individual songs?   The phone is question is an LG running who knows what for an operating system.

    AAC is Advanced Audio Coding.  Basically it's a format that sounds better than MP3 but doesn't take up as much space as a lossless format (like you'd have on a CD).  More than likely you've had that encoding turned on when you ripped your music into itunes (it's the default encoder).  Therefore your LG phone won't play them.
    You need to turn off the AAC format by going to the iTunes menu, Preferences, General (at the top), then clicking the "Import Preferences" button.  Change the AAC Encoder to MP3 Encoder.  After that you'll have to make MP3 copies of your songs by right clicking them and selecting "Create MP3 Version."  You'll get a copy of the song that should transfer to your SD card and have MP3 encoding.  Hopefully your phone will play that.

  • HT1751 I need to uninstall and reinstall iTunes (it won't let me update). So, how do I copy or back up my iTunes library of over 1,500 songs? Can I use a Flash Drive to do so?

    I need to uninstall and reinstall iTunes (it won't let me update). I have IE 8 on Windows XP, and iTunes 10 something. In my Program files list I see iTunes and iTunes (2) and even iPod and iPod (2) where a tech had to back up and do this for me before. I'm just trying to fix it all. I keep getting the "The feature you are trying to use is on a network resource that is unavailable. Click OK to try again, or enter an alternate path to a folder containing the installation package 'iTunes.msi' in the box below." I can even run a search and find the folder, but it gives me the same error message. I was planning on using the Microsoft Fix-It tool  to help uninstall then Reinstall iTunes. But I need to backup my library. So, how do I copy or back up my iTunes library of over 1,500 songs? Can I copy the folder to desktop or can I use a Flash Drive to backup my music? I don't want to do anything until I know for sure how I can backup my songs, and then reinstall them into iTunes. Thanks for any help.

    Ok, thanks that helps. I don't have an external hard drive though. What about backing up through 'the cloud'? I'm just wondering since my husband syncs his iPod to the PC through iTunes and he's worried that he will lose all the songs on his iPod if the library is lost from iTunes and he tries to 'sync' it up again. I'm not exactly sure how to  'copy the entire iTunes folder' either. I kinda suck at this unless I have step by step instructions, which I haven't found yet on iTunes help or other sources.
    The only way I know how to back anything up is by going back to a restore point, etc. (as stated before, we don't have an external hard drive.)
    Thanks for the info.

  • How can i copy apps from one computer to another?

    how can i copy apps from one computer to another?

    You don't mention which operating system you have so it's difficult to provide an answer since the mac and Windows stores the files differently.
    The other thing you can do is just re-download the apps from the iTunes Store. Just login to the iTunes Store on the other computer using the same Apple ID. On the right-hand side of the iTunes Store page you will see a 'Purchased' link. Clicking on that will take you to a page that will list your past purchases which you can re-download to the new computer.

  • How to I copy photos from my ipod classic back onto my pc?

    How to I copy photos from my ipod classic back onto my pc? My hardrive recently crashed and the photos on my ipod are the only copies I have! The photos were synced onto th ipod originally - not saved or copied as file transfer.

    See Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device. I'm not sure which of the recovery tools can do photos offhand, but unless you chose the option to include full res. originals when you loaded the device then what they extract will be fairly low res. If you did opt for full res. then they should be visible on the iPod's drive when viewed in disk mode.

  • How do I copy and paste from one page or file to another page or file - on the same screen?

    How do I copy and paste from one page or file to another - on the same screen?

      Open both of your images in the Editor. Click on the image you want to copy and press Ctrtl+A (select all) followed by Ctrl+C (copy) then click the tab for your other image and press Ctrl+V (paste)
    Alternatively click on your background image then simply drag the second image from the photo/project bin and drop it into the main editor workspace on top of the background image. Use the move tool to position and the corner handles of the bounding box to scale.

  • My external hard drive will not show up in iMovie 10.0.4.  How do I copy my movies into it?

    My Mac OSX 10.9.4 has both iMovie 10 and iMovie 9. I've started uploading all of my videos from my camera to iMovie 10 and have not worried about my external hard drive. Now it's been a couple months of putting those videos onto iMovie 10 and I just connected my external hard drive and it doesn't show up in sidebar anywhere.  Is this new to iMovie 10? How can I copy my events and projects to my external hard drive from imovie 10?
    If iMovie 10 is the issue, I will gladly begin using iMovie 9 again, but will need those events to get into iMovie 9.  Is there anyway to move movies in iMovie 10 to iMovie 9.
    Thanks for the help!

    Hi bwright22,
    Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
    It sounds like you want to copy videos to and from an external hard disk in iMovie. Take a look at the article linked below, I believe it has the information that you're looking for.
    iMovie (2013): Work with multiple libraries
    http://support.apple.com/kb/PH14745
    Show or hide the Libraries list
    You select libraries and events in the Libraries list.
    To show the Libraries list: Click the Show button  on the left side of the toolbar.
    To hide the Libraries list: Click the Hide button  on the left side of the toolbar.
    You can also choose Window > Hide Libraries (or press Shift-Command-1).
    Copy or move projects, events, or clips between libraries or hard disks
    Connect a hard disk that contains the target library to your computer, or copy the target library to your computer.
    Choose File > Open Library, and choose an option from the submenu.
    You can choose from recently opened libraries at the top of the submenu, locate an existing library on your computer, or create a new library.
    The selected library is opened in the Libraries list, with the first event selected and its contents displayed in the browser.
    In the Libraries list, select the event that contains the item you want to move or copy.
    In the browser, select the item you want to move or copy.
    Note:   To select multiple items, hold down the Command key as you click the items you want to select, or drag a selection rectangle around the items.
    Do one of the following:
    To move items between events or libraries: Drag the clip or project to another event or library.
    To copy items between events or libraries: Option-drag the clip or project to another event or library by first starting to drag and then holding down the Option key as you drag.
    I hope this helps.
