Install Instr. Says "Shutdown ASM Instance" Before Installing ApEx. Why?

We have installed 11gR2 database. Now we are looking at chapter 4 of the ApEx 3.2 installation guide. One of the pre-install requirements says to shut down the ASM instance. Is it referring to the ASM Instance for the database that we are installing ApEx? It seems quite unclear because the database where we are installing ApEx is supposed to be running.
Why is it necessary to shut down the ASM instance?
Thanks,
Gregory

Gregory:
That step is no longer mentioned in the 4.0 installation guide.
In 11gR2, Application Express 3.2 is included in the database, unless you explicitly deselelcted that option when creating the database. After backing up the database, I would start with "4.3 Choosing an HTTP Server" in the installation guide and go from there.

Jason

Shutdown ASM instance

as oracle says regarding shutdown ASM instance normal and immediate options:
ASM waits for any in progress SQL to complete before performing an orderly dismount of all the disk groups and shutting down the ASM instance, if any database instance are connected to the ASM instance , the Shutdown command returns error and leaves the ASM instance running.
i have just got confused , which sql would asm instance waits to complete if it is going to return an error if any database instance is connected?

You can use sqlplus and connect to the ASM instance as sysasm to configure diskgroups, perform maintenance or upgrades, for example. ASM does not know about transactions in databases that are connected to the ASM instance. Databases are simply connected or not.

Shutdown ASM instance with database up???

While reading through the Apex installation guide I ran across this statement:
If Automatic Storage Management (ASM) is running, shut down all databases that
use ASM except for the database where you will install Oracle Application
Express, and then shut down the ASM instance.
.... uh, leaving the one ASM based database up .. with the ASM instance itself shut down?
Am I mis-reading? Or do I have a fundamental flaw in my understanding of the relationship of the ASM instance with the database instances?

Included .. but upgrades of Apex?
Ed, upgrading Apex is fairly safe.
However, do not merely rely on a datapump/export of the current Apex schema as backup, prior to installing the upgrade (creating a new schema). Reason: there are objects installed as SYS which will be overwritten by the upgrade, and not exported by the backup. [have an outstanding feature request filed with Apex team to fix this - there are no reasons for using SYS for app objects]
Which is why I prefer a logical backup instead - an Apex export of apps and workspaces. This can be done via the command line. There is a Java program/jar for Apex that supports CLI access to automatically export all apps in all workspaces. I have a cron job that does this every night on all our databases as Apex apps are not made of the type of code one can checkout and edit from a traditional source code repository,
What is not exported, is extra content such as images, custom style sheets and so on (static contents). But is it a better idea to have static contents served by the web server, rather than via a db server session.
Apex is pretty kewl - one of the better web frameworks for Oracle that we've been using since Marvel/HTMLDB days. Some niggles. But overall an excellent product.

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!!

Correct steps to reload ASM disks into a running ASM instance on Linux RHEL

Hi guys,
i hope this is the correct forum, awfully i did not found any document specifically talking abou this.
first of all let me explain quickly my goal: in my server (it contains the same data of 3 production RACs for reporting purposes) i would like to shutdown a single instance (i have 3) and realod his disks to refresh the data or because for some reason its mount into ASM is failed.
this is a mix of Oracle ASM and Linux stuff...
on this server there is a shell script that perform the following steps:
1) shutdown 3 instances of 11g (11.2.0.2.0 with patch for asm already installed for bug... dont remember)
2) shutdown ASM instance
3) stop ASMLIB
4) stop multipathd
5) remove all disks devices from linux
6) take a snapshot on the 3 production RACs
7) remap the disks to this server (SAN stuff)
8) rescan the disks
9) start ASMLIB
10) start ASM instance
11) mount the DiskGroups
12) start 3 oracle instances
this works fine... my problem is when i try to refresh the disks of just 1 of the 3 instances, i perform the following steps:
1) stop instance ABC
2) dismount ABC diskgroups related to ABC instance
3) wait 5 seconds (dont ask... if idid it without ASM still have the disks locked)
4) delete the ASMLIB disks (oracleasm deletedisk XYZ) relate to such diskgroups
5) remove mpaths related to the disks that need to be refreshed or correctly mounted oneagain
6) remove devices
7) unmap disks on SAN
8) take snapshot (clone disks)
9) map disks from SAN
10) delete bindings file
11) rescan devices
12) execute multipath command (to rebuild bindings file)
13) execute oracleasm scandisks
14) mount DiskGroups
15) start instance ABC
actually i dont understand why the OS (or specifically ASMLIB) do not recognize me anymore one of the ASMLIB disk
do you have any idea ? or im completly crazy doing that ?
best regards,
Luca

Hi,
well this step
4) delete the ASMLIB disks (oracleasm deletedisk XYZ) relate to such diskgroups
is not good. Because it will clear the ASM Header and as a result ASM will never again be able to detect the disks.
So it is clear that "scnadisks" later will not see the disks, because you wiped them.
Worse: You did the snapshot after deleting them... this gets tricky to get them "repaired" again.
However there is the possibility to relabel a dropped ASM disks. You need to open an SR for this, since the procedure to restore the lost ASM header is not that simple..
Regards
Sebastian

Convert ASM single instance to RAC ASM instance...

Hi, all
Im installing OracleDatabase with RAC and I got an error on the Database Configuration Assistant that says "The ASM instance configured on the local node is a single instance. To manage this instance as a single-instance ASM restart DBCA and select the single instance database option. To manage this instance as RAC ASM, convert it to RAC ASM first".
How I can convert it??
Thanks

See the link below for converting a single instance ASM to RAC ASM. The link is to the Oracle® Database Oracle Clusterware and Oracle Real Application Clusters Installation Guide for Linux. If your platform is not Linux, check the Install Guide for your OS.

Rebooting the server with ASM instance............

Hi folks
I have to go for reboot of the server as I am adding a RAW device for having one more mount and also will be adding a disk to disk group.
1) alter diskgroup diskgroupname add disk '/u09'; Is this correct to add a new disk to the diskgroup of ASM instance?
2) I will have to shutdown all the six instances within the ASM instance and shutdown the ASM instance? Is this correct
After a successfull Rebbot is done
3) I will have to startup the ASM instance first and one by one startup the other six instances? Is it the right sequence.
Please reply at the earliest.
Thanks
Shiva

Hi
If you want to shutdown the server to add the RAW device then:
1. Shutdown all instances but shutdown ASM instance in the end.
2. Shutdown server and add the RAW device.
3. Startup server
4 Add the diskgruop and also you can increase the value of rebalance parameter.
5. Start all the instances that are using this ASM instance.
Hope this Help
Regards

Shutting down ASM instance in 11.2 RAC

DB version : 11.2.0.2
Platform : Solaris 10 / AIX 6.1
2-node RAC
Since OCR and Voting Disks are stored in ASM Diskgroups (11.2) , is it OK to shutdown ASM instance in any or both of the nodes ? ie.
Will CRS in a node go down if you shutdown ASM instance in that Node ?

Will CRS in a node go down if you shutdown ASM instance in that Node ?Yes. You will have to first stop the Oracle Clusterware stack on the node on which you need to stop the Oracle ASM instance.
Either use "crsctl stop cluster -n node_name" or "crsctl stop crs" for this purpose.
Since you are using OCR and VOTING DISK on ASM, it's not possible stop only ASM and keep cluster running.

Multiple ASM instances using single cluster install - Is it possible??

Hi,
I have 2 node RAC cluster installed on Linux. All the storage is on EMC. I need to setup another environment using HP storage on the same hosts. Is it possible to created second ASM instance using the same cluster install?? I wanted to have clear separation b/w EMC and HP environments and that's wondering if it's feasible to do that.
Haven't tried it yet to see if it complains.
Thx

Anitha,
The data migration won't happen (at least not aggressively) until you do step 2 in your list where you remove the EMC disks. That removal operation will take a long time as Oracle will have to move the data before it can complete the operation. If you want to be sure, I'd recommend creating a new disk group with one of your new disks, put a small tablespace in it, create some data in it, then add a disk to that new group and remove the original disk. Then you'll have some confidence in the procedure and verify that it works without risking your production data. After you test, you can drop the disk group and use the disks for their intended purposes.
To answer your question, yes, that's the process exactly as I suggested it above. Should work fine--but will probably take a while to do the remove, so be prepared to leave that running for quite a while (i.e. don't expect to close the terminal and go home right after running the remove).

How can I install ASM instance in another oracle home?

Hello:
I have installed Oracle 10 g R2 software at a oracle home,and have create a database with an instance named ocafs withou ASM,now I want to install ASM instance and create a new database using ASM,how can I insure that the ASM is installed in it's own oracle home by using dbca or some other tools? And can I specify the instance name of the ASM?
Thank you very much!

Use the oui.exe (Universal Installer), it checks for existing homes. Based on what you want to do (create a new db with ASM), OUI is smart in that in will not let you create it in an existing home. It will prompt for a different location if you try to use an existing home.
Good luck

There is your problem. DVDs that ship with a Mac are machine specific. You will need to purchase a retail copy of the DVD $29.

Hi,
I believe your OCR is corrupted....so restore the OCR from most recent backup (before error ).
Using crs_* commands on resources with the prefix ora.* (resources provided by Oracle) remains unsupported.
After restore OCR... remove ASM with "srvctl" command:
