How to start ASM instance at boot time - RHEL 2.1

Oracle 10.1.0.3
RHEL 2.1
I'm not able to get the ASM instance (not RAC) to start at boot time. It seems that the ocssd daemon does not finish starting until after all rc* scripts, including rc.local, have finished executing.
Patch 3458327 includes a new dbstart with header notes that are in conflict. The notes says that dbstart can't be used to start ASM until AFTER all rc* is finished. Then it continues and states that ASM instance startup should be put in rc.local.
As soon as I get logged on, a ps -ef|grep ocssd shows the daemon running. I can then manually start the ASM instance. There must be a way to get the ASM instance "auto" started at boot time.
Ideas?

The cheapest and administratively easiest way for me was to start Oracle instances (ASM and data) by "at" command :-) from rc scripts. Something like:
....echo "oracle start" | at now+2min....
Additionally the deferred startup has some additional advantages in my environment, so I am not motivated to look for better solution.
Best regards,
Pavel

How to start OC4J at Linux boot time

Hello,
I am using Linux AS 3.0 and i have installed OC4J ( 9.0.4) ok, and OC4J also work fine.But each time i want to start OC4J , i must execute command java -jar oc4j.jar at console.
Now, I want to start OC4J automatic at System startup ( ie: Linux boot time ).How can i do?
Thanks.

Just put your OC4J start/stop commands in a rc script.
Scripts in the directories
/etc/rc.d/rc2.d
/etc/rc.d/rc3.d
/etc/rc.d/rc5.d
will be called by the operating system with the command line option start.
The number in the directory names represent the desired run level of the machine.
Scripts in the directory
/etc/rc.d/rc0.d
will be called during shutdown with the command line option stop.

How does 1 ASM instance in a 10 node RAC cause all 10 ASM instance to hang

Linux RHEL4
11.2.0.1.0 GI
11.2.0.1.0 RDBMS
11.1.0.7.0 RDBMS
10.2.0.4.4 RDBMS
Yesterday we had one of the ASM instance on our 10-node cluster hang with a latch "ASM file allocation latch". Oracle support has stated we are hitting a bug with is fixed in the latest PSU.
What I am trying to understand is how a latch on one ASM instance caused all 10 ASM instances to hang?
Oracle Supports explanation still does not answer how all 10 ASM instance were affected other then the faulty code that the patch fixes. Bellow is info out of the SAR.
Data Guard Site:
================
ARC1 PID 21508 reports ORA-240 'control file enqueue held for more than 120 seconds' at Thu Oct 28 11:35:54 2010. This message means ARC1 PID 21508 was holding the enqueue past the maximum tine limit of 120 seconds.
Next ARC0 PID 17398 reports ORA-16146: 'control file enqueue unavailable' at Thu Oct 28 11:36:52 2010. This means ARC0 PID 17398 tried to access the controlfile and it could get the lock.
ARC1 PID 21508 is then killed at Thu Oct 28 11:49:57 2010.
Killing enqueue blocker (pid=21508) on resource CF-00000000-00000000 by (pid=23078) by killing session 5.3
We see that RSM has been restarted by Broker. This matches to the alert.log and messages showing RSM being restarted several time. i.e. RSM0 started with pid=84, OS id=27915
Since this started happening around 11:14, the problem may have really started then instead of w/ the CF enqueue block.
The primary appears to be shipping redo to the standby using asynchronous mode. Unless there was a gap, I do no know if ARC1 should have been doing any remote network I/O. Because a log switch to thread 1 sequence 5235 had just happened at 11:33am, I suspect it was a local disk I/O that was started at least. The ORA-240 is reported at 11:35, exactly 120 sec (or 2min) from this log switch. Notice also the entry to show the log thread 1 sequence 5234 was registered to the controlfile didn't happen yet.
ASM Side:
============
From the systemstate dump on ASM, multiple processes are waiting on 'ASM file allocation latch' and we are kind of stuck on stack:
ksedsts()+461<-ksdxfstk()+32<-ksdxcb()+1782<-sspuser()+112<-0000003218E0C5B0<-kfuhInsert()+175<-kffilCreate()+601<-kfnsUFG()+3691<-kfnsBackground()+4382<-kfnDispatch()+527<-opiodr()+1149<-ttcpip()+1251<-opitsk()+1633<-opiino()+958<-opiodr()+1149<-opidrv()+570<-sou2o()+103<-opimai_real()+133<-ssthrdmain()+214<-main()+201<-__libc_start_main()+219
This caused the hang on the ASM side and hence ASM was not responding to the database. The CF Enqueue issue on the database was a side effect of this.
This is a direct <BUG:9232266> which is a duplicate of <BUG:8974548>

Thanks Murali,
I was little reluctent to open a tar since my experince says that its better to troubleshoot the issue yourself instead of spending time with the Oracle support :)
Well, I got some more information on this : the sql for the process id of ASM instance is :
Alter Diskgroup mount all;
It looks like it is unable to mount the diskgroup and get hunged at that point , is it due to the new disk added to the system or do we missed something after adding the new disk.
Also, the ASM process can not be killed from unix box while the ASM is down.
Will appreciate your time if we can move in any directions from here ..
Thanks ,
Ankur

How to start my instance??!!!!!!!!

I installed Oracle 10g. Then I created an instance. After the instance was created, I went to OEM to look at the instance, and noticed it wasn't turned on. I went to the network folder and noticed I only had sqlnet.ora; no Listener.ora or tsnames.ora. I put the files there, but when I try to startup the instance, the password and usernames I created with the database don't work.
Agent Connection to Instance failed
Listener down

PLease, do not multi-post the same issue

Unable to start Oracle 10g instance on boot time (CentOS)

Hi all,
I am trying to automate oracle instance start-up on boot time. I have created /etc/oratab and /etc/init.d/dbora files. Also, all the links for run-levels 2,3,4 are set. My machine boots in run-level 3. While I can start the database manually, after the system has booted, I am not able to automate the instance start-up at boot time. Following is the error, I get:
oracle: /oracle/bin/lsnrctl: error while loading shared libraries: libclntsh.so.9.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
I know that normally this problem occurs due to LD_LIBRARY_PATH variable problem. So, I have set the following in /etc/init.d/dbora file.
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$ORACLE_HOME/lib
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH

I've tried to reconfigure HAS through (as root):
$GRID_HOME/crs/install/roothas.pl -deconfig -force -verbose
$GRID_HOME/root.shthis gave me working asm instance but after restart I'm in base position with no crs services.
And... I've tried to startup crs after restart with no luck but before restart I can shutdown everything and startup ASM instance too (so everything is fine till the reboot). I'm on CentOS 6:

Would oracle start ASM instance automatically?

Hi there,
I experienced this yesterday while testing my scripts.
I wrote couple of unix shell scripts (OEL) - one to shutdown all DBs (which, at the end shuts down the ASM instance as well) and the second one to start all the DBs.
In the second one, I forgot to inclde the commands to startup the ASM instance first and executed the script. I noticed there were no errors during the DB startup (which included the DB that uses ASM) and when I checked the output of "ps -ef | grep pmon", +ASM instance was already up and running.
So the ASM instance was started up automatically - I wonder if this is how it should be?
If this is normal, should I forget about adding ASM instance startup commands to the second shell script?
Regards

If 11gR2 , ASM home will come automatically i.e. diskgroups will be mounted.
or check is there any script mentioned in init.d something like http://www.oracle-base.com/articles/linux/AutomatingDatabaseStartupAndShutdownOnLinux.php

Error while starting ASM instance

when i was trying to startup my ASM database , i was getting the following error.
SQL> startup

thnx in advance

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

How to start new instance of Application server 6.0 sp3 on Solaris

Hi!
I am a new user of iPlanet Application server (ver. 6.0 sp3) for Solaris and I have problems with starting new instance of App. Server. Directory server and administration server are started during installation but application server isn't started. I've used Application Server Command Line Utilities to start server but I've got message "you must register
the server instance via the application server admin tool". I've tried to do that but I don't know how. I've searched documentation and I haven't found what I'm looking for.I would like to know where can I find instructions for starting App. server?

Hello,
Start your "ksvradmin" from $IASHOME/bin/ksvradmin tool - a GUI tool and under file menu register the server instance by supplying port on which the server is running.. it is intuitive..
Thanks

How to start two threads at a time

hi to all,
can any one tell me how we can start two or more threads at a time
this is my req in the application i want to check that
can any body help me in this regard.
ashok

If you are starting a whole bunch of threads, and want them to be eligable for execution at about the same time (i.e. dont get staggered due to the overhead of starting), then you can use locking / waiting.
I've not really had / wanted to do this before, but I suppose something like the following might work:
import EDU.oswego.cs.dl.util.concurrent.Latch;
import EDU.oswego.cs.dl.util.concurrent.Sync;
public class StartupTest {
private void test() {
    Latch startGun = new Latch();
    // create and start some threads - I'll just create one
    Thread t = new Thread(new TestRunnable(startGun));
    t.start();
    // all started? Ok - fire the start gun to release them
    startGun.release();
private class TestRunnable implements Runnable {
    private Sync startGun;
    TestRunnable(Sync startGun) {
      this.startGun = startGun;
    public void run() {
      waitForStart();
      // what ever you were going to do here......
    private void waitForStart() {
      try {
        startGun.acquire();
      } catch (InterruptedException e) {
        // what ever... I'll just bharf.
        throw new RuntimeException(e);
}Even with this, your threads aren't going to actually start working all at exactly the same time - but they'll all be eligable to start working at the same time.

How to start oc4j instance in linux

I need the oracle report server to generate reports via the call from JSP.
But the response contains no data. But i think that the problem is that the oc4j instance is not started or the port number i am using in the URL is wrong.
I have two questions in my mind.
1) How to start the oc4j instance in linux
2) How to find the port number of the oracle report server. will it be stored in any files.
Pls provide some inputs on this query.

Hello,
1) How to start the oc4j instance in linuxYou have not specified what version, so for standalone you can use the following command:
java -jar oc4j.jar
In 10.1.3 you need to use the oc4j.cmd/oc4j.sh file to start and stop OC4J.
If you are using the Application Server, then please use opmnctl start and stop the OC4J instance.
2) How to find the port number of the oracle report server. will it be stored in any files.
Please post this to the Reports forum.
Hope this helps.
