Installing ASM on Virtual Storage.

Hi !!!
We are from OLTP domain, we have oracle 10g in RAC mode with ASM installed on dedicated storage. But we are planning for expansion and in process of procuring new hardware. In this we wish to go for new big SINGLE storage and would be configuring there by creating virtual compartments of which 1 part of that storage would be used for ASM of OLTP and rest would be staggered for use of other databases viz MS-SQL or ORACLE for test environment.
Is this type of installation or configuration recommended and what would be pros-N-cons of this installation. have never come across any such scenario anywhere.
Help in this regards would be highly appreciated.
Many Thank's
Rajeev.

DBCA can not use ASM for database storage due to following reason: Could no

Hi
I've a recently installed RAC11gR2(11.2.0.3) on HP-UX
I installed Grid Infrastructure with grid user:
Node1: # id grid

Node2: # id grid
uid=1100(grid) gid=1000(oinstall) groups=1031(dba),1021(asmdba)
I installed the Oracle Server with oracle user:
Node1: # id oracle

Node2: # id oracle

The big issue is... that the DBCA can not see the diskgroups. When I choose ASM Storage it can not see them. It shows the chart in blank and if i try to write the disk group, so the following message appears: can not use ASM for database storage due to following reason: Could not connect to ASM due to following error: ORA-01034 ORACLE not available
What can be passing in this case... ?
Thanks in advance

Thanks both
Really the problem initially was because of this:
[INS-06006] Passwordless SSH connectivity not set up between the following node(s): [node1, node2]. CVU may reports "PRVF-4007 : User equivalence check failed for user "user"" for same error
and I had to install node1 first and after node2 manually and perhaps for this the product was not well linked.
I resolved the problem establishing the keys with the wizard and after copying the following files from node1 to node2
/home/grid/.ssh -------> /home/grid/.ssh
authorized_keys
known_hosts
This is the procedure if you run the wizard at the node1.
The problem is that the wizard creates the keys incompletely...
Thanks

How to install ASM on 11gR2 on Windows?

hi *
can you suggest me how to install ASM instance with 11g R2 software ?
I don't need grid software as a whole.
My goal is to set standalone DB based on ASM storage.
In database server software (DBCA) I cannot choose "create ASM instance" . It's not there.
So I suppose I need to install some of grid software. But which part of it is sufficient that allows to configure ASM afterwards??
there are options:
- Installing and Configuring the Grid Infrastructure for a Standalone Server
- Installing and Configuring the Grid Infrastructure for a Cluster
- Upgrade Grid Infrastructure
- Install Grid Infrastructure Only

- Upgrade Grid Infrastructure
- Install Grid Infrastructure OnlyFrom 11.2 onwards, ASM installation needs as a mandatory thing Grid Infrastructure. So if you want ASM,there can't be any thing else which you cna do except installing the Grid Infrastructure. The ASM maintenance has been removed from DBCA and is given now inthe ASMCA(ASM Configuration Assistant) which can only be run from Gird Infra home. So in short, the answer for your question is that you must install Grid Infrastructure if you want ASM , be it Windows or whatever o/s.

Installing ASM in it's own home (non-RAC environment)

I am installing ASM
When I run root.sh I get the following error:Expecting the CRS daemons to be up within 600 seconds.
Giving up: Oracle CSS stack appears NOT to be running.
Oracle CSS service would not start as installed
Automatic Storage Management(ASM) cannot be used until Oracle CSS service is started.
The install is on Centos 5 (aka RHEL 5). I have set up a user and a group specifically for this install (user: oracleasm group: asmdba) all of which are the owners of the disks (dev/oracleasm/disks) and the home which i am installing it on. But cannot get past the CSS stack appears not be running.
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated...I have been all over OTN and metalink but no luck.
Regards,
Matt

Check if daemon ocssd.bin is running by executing:
ps -ef|grep ocssd
If it not running then execute
/etc/init.d/init.cssd run
sleep 60
/etc/init.d/init.cssd start
sleep 120
/etc/init.d/dbora start
If that works you had problem because of Oracle bug and the solution in metalink note id 264235.1
You need to fix the /etc/inittab file moving the line that had init.cssd run to line before level 3 scripts executed.

Did you ever get and answer for this...I have EXACTLY the same issue but on AIX.

I use virtualbox install a linux virtual machine,but ~~

but the virtual machine could not boot up, and it display an error: FATAL , no bootable medium found ,system halted.
but in the install process ,i choose lilo as boot loader,but it can not boot up
Does anybody know this fucking problem!

Dat grammer! Ugh... VirtualBox is working fine. It's just that you didn't follow whatever install instructions Slackware provides. You either skipped installing a bootloader or you may have set the virtual optical drive to boot first instead of the virtual storage drive. Right click the VM and check Settings. We can't help you with Slackware-specific instructions because this isn't the Slackware forum.

You can't. It doesn't have an option that allows you to not have a copy of the data on your Mac. You can make the suggestion to Apple at https://www.apple.com/feedback/icloud.html

Installing the New Virtual Machine and XP Mode in Win7x64 on the Intel 2x E5-2620 Architecture (12 cores, 24 cpus)

I have been hibernating quietly at school with an Intel Core Duo T7300 on XP, and have been insulated from the madness of multi-core processors. I gather that there were problems with installing the XP Virtual Machine on Vista under Quad architectures,
but that these eventually got resolved in 2009.
The newer problem is concerned with installing the XP Virtual Machine on Win7x64 with greater than four cores in the cpu architecture. Others have mentioned this problem over this past Summer 2012. The problem is that at the very last step of
the complete install, Win7x64 reports a failure to install the XP Virtual Machine, and with no further comment.
Apparently KB/2519949 gave a temporary (MSFT qualifies this as "temporary") hotfix solution to this problem for AMD 8-core chips in the Bulldozer series. However MSFT cautions that this problem requires further research. This was earlier
this Summer 2012.
My problem is that I have an Intel 2xE5-2620 duo-processor cpu architecture (2x6=12 cores, 24 cpus in Windows). The cpu architecture is both Intel, and with far more than the old standard of four cores. The XP Virtual Machine in Win7x64 will
not install, as described above.
I have an armload of new 64-bit software all of which has installed pristinely in Win7x64 under this 2xE5-2620 Intel architecture. However, I have one very important piece of legacy (latest version incompatible beyond XP type of legacy) technical writing
software that is critical to my PhD thesis. In need the XP Virtual Machine for this, and I have no idea how to get it. My PhD thesis supervisor also needs this particular piece of "legacy" technical writing software for his new book on Probability
Theory.

I have news about this issue with XP Mode on Workstation machines. I have actually known about this for a couple of months, but it has not been until these Christmas 2012 holidays that I have had a chance to follow up with an implementation.
In review, I purchased a Workstation computer for scientific computation purposes this past August 2012. My chipset is an Intel 2x E5-2620 for a total of 12 cores, and it turns out that this was not the problem for XP Mode. My OEM shipped this
machine with Windows 7, but without XP Mode, and there is a reason why.
As an aside, it should be mentioned that the main line MSFT OS, Windows 7 or 8, is what I want for this machine, and not Server 2012. The reason is that most of the scientific computation and technical writing software that I use is written only for
Windows, and not for Server. Then also hopefully Hyper-V can do in Windows 8 most of what XP Mode is doing for me in Windows 7.
My dealer was able to tell me, when he got back from holidays in late September, that the reason that XP Mode failed to install on this Workstation, and the reason it was not included by the OEM, was that the original HDD configuration was for RAID (3 available
bays) and formatted for drives of at least 1TB in size. Although the original HDD installation was only a single HDD with only 500GB, the machine was equipped to have something much larger installed. But this format excluded the possibility of
XP Mode.
So we changed the hard drive installation to something that I preferred. We installed Windows 7 on a 480GB SSD, and I installed all my software on this drive, as well as all my important data. Most importantly, since this drive is less than 1TB,
we could use the MBR format which allows XP mode. Then we also formatted the original HDD of 500GB in MBR, and decided to run it with Intel RST. This second drive is for unimportant data, and large files. For backup we chose a 2TB USB 3.0
external. In this setting, installing Windows XP Mode was easy, as the only thing we needed to do was modify BIOS to enable virtualization which was part of the Intel 2x E5-2620 chipset already.
I am very pleased with XP Mode. The scientific writing software for my thesis that I was worried about does actually run in Windows 7 under compatibility mode, but there have been some huge advantages to installing in in XP Mode as well. I still have licensed
copies of Office 2003, Acrobat Pro 9, and MathType 5.2, and other old software as well. I now have all new software, for example Office 2010 (64-bit), Acrobat Pro 10 (32-bit for 64-bit), and MathType 6.8 (64-bit), and lots of other things. However, now that
I have my scientific wrtiting software (for which the maker has not caught up with Windows Vista/7) installed in XP Mode, I have also installed WORD 2003 with MathType 5.2 in XP Mode. My scientific writing software can translate WORD 2003/MathType 5.2 in RTF
format to LaTeX. So lets hope these guys eventually catch up with Windows 7 and 8.
I am also using XP Mode to archive a large block of my old data from the XP days. I still have licensed copies of the out of date software. And I would rather not update every single old file I have to a current format. So altogether, XP Mode is working
out quite well. It is very fast with my Intel 2x E5-2620 and maximum RAM.

But I am getting this alert from SCOM and SCOM has no information about the alert for me to find out what to do - thought that was the point of SCOM to let you know of problems and how to resolve them. :)
The alert is coming from the Error Count Monitor that is part of the Hyper-V Management Pack Extensions (v 4.0.0.0)
I have tried looking in the Event Logs on the Host and there doesn't seem to be any storage related errors there. I am trying to establish if this is a false positive, why it is happening and if it is safe to override and ignore.
There is nothing on the Product Knowledge tab and nothing on the Alert Context other than what I have already mentioned (see below).
Thanks for responding.

ORA-00205: error in identifying control file..after installing ASM

Hi
I haveoracle database 10g running on a redhat4 mechine.
i have installed ASM and migrate my database to ASM.
I haven't any problem and everything was fine till i reboot the mechine for the first time after
installing ASM.
I got the ORA-00205: error in identifying control file, check alert log for more info
error when database was restarting
any one can help me out of this problem
many many thanks in advance

eventually I figured out what the problem is.
The problem is about my dbora file used to start my database.
this is the whole story!!!
I have a oracle 10gR2 installed on Redhat linux AS 4.
I have configured my database to work on ASM.All the configuration have set properly
and every thing is fine except the Automatic starting the database in time
the mechine is restarted.
when i restart the mechine with nothing in dbora(used to automatically start the database)
and start everything after logging into oracle user(listener ,database,Enterprise manager)
no problem(i can see my ASM instance database instance throught Enterprise managaer).
but when i use dbora to do that i get this error appear in enterprise manager
ORA-12528: TNS:listener: all appropriate instances are blocking new connections (DBD ERROR: OCIServerAttach)
this is the content of dbora:

Known Issue: Windows Emulators Are Not Supported When Visual Studio Installed in a Virtual Machine (Windows 10 Insider Preview SDK and tools, April 2015 release)

If you install Visual Studio 2015 with the Windows 10 Mobile emulators in a virtual machine, setup will succeed but the emulators will not be available as valid debug targets.

The Windows Emulators require a physical machine that runs Windows 8.1 (x64) Professional edition or higher, and a processor that supports Client Hyper-V and Second Level Address Translation (SLAT). The emulators will not run when Visual Studio is installed
in a Virtual Machine (VM).
The emulators for Universal Windows app development work best with Windows 10.
