Intalling ASM instance on windows - 11gR1

I am getting this error when i used dbca to create asm instance on windows. I cant find the steps needed to resolve this error.
To create ASM instance, you should have OS authentication enabled, to connect as user with SYSASM system privilege refer installation guide on how to enable OS athentication for SYSASM
Any clues?
Regards

Hi,
The OS user you are logged in, should be the member of ORA_DBA group on the windows to administer the ASM. Make your group member of this group so that you have SYSASM privilege (like SYSDBA for normal database OS authentication).

Proble shutting down ASM instance on Windows 2003 server.

Hi,
Before booting the windows 2003 server, I am trying to shutdown the ASM instance and it is just siiting there without any response. This is a 10g database and a 2003 server.

Thanks.

Thanks for your response. Yes I did stopped the database. I was having the same problem with the database ( as it was sitting there after I issued the shutdown immediate ). Finally I had to do shutdown abort, start up in restrict mode and do a shutdown again to stop the database gracefully

Creating ASM instance on windows (manually)

Hi all,
Can anyone guide me steps how to create ASM instance (manually) on windows in Oracle 11g.
Because i am missing local config fine in <ORACLE_HOME>/bin folder in 11g
Regards,
Vikas Kohli

Hi,
From ASM HOME (%ORACLE_HOME%)
# To create a new config
Windows
%ORACLE_HOME%/bin/localconfig.bat add
# To recreate config
Windows
%ORACLE_HOME%/bin/localconfig.bat reset <ORACLE_HOME>Then using DBCA create/reconfigure ASM instance from ASM HOME.
I assume you are using version Oracle 11.1, if it's 11.2 ignore all above.
Hope this helps,

How to create a single instance ASM installation on Windows using 11gR1 ?

Good afternoon,
After reading much documentation and doing a lot of Googling, I have not found a step by step procedure on how to install/use ASM for a single database instance successfully. This is using Windows XP SP2, Oracle 11gR1 (I can likely adjust any procedure that is meant for Server 2003 or 2008 as long as it is does not require a 64bit installation.)
If someone knows where I can find a step by step procedure on how to do this, that actually works and, would be so kind to share it, I'd much appreciate it.
Thank you,
John.

As we have discussed on other threads, in 11.2, its not possible to do the installation of the ASM without using the Grid Infrastructure. The reason is ASM instance can be created using the ASMCA only in 11.2 which would run only from the Grid Home. So if you are willing to use ASM in 11.2, you have to go through either on 64bit windows, or 32 bit linux. Other than this, you can use 11.1 and/or 10.2 where DBCA can be used for the same.

Create a new user for oracle 10G ASM instance with sysdba system privilege

Hi,
In our Golden Gate Project, we require the SYS user credential to connect to the Oracle 10g ASM instance to read the database transaction logs.But our client is not providing the SYS user credential to connnect to ASM instance.
I'm getting the error message "ORA-01109: database not open",When I tried to create a new user using the below the steps in oracle 10g ASM instance
1. Login using "sqlplus / as sysdba"
2. Create user <username> identified by <password>;
But in oracle 11g ASM instance, I'm able to create new user by connecting the ASM instance with SYSASM role without issues.
Is there is any workaround to create a new user with sysdba system privilege in oracle 10g ASM instance?.
Thanks in advance .

Hi,
Recreate the password file for the ASM instance as follows:
Unix:
orapwd file=<ORACLE_HOME>/dbs/PWD<SID> password=<sys_password>
Windows:
orapwd file=<ORACLE_HOME>/database/PWD<SID>.ora password=<sys_password>
Now sys password is reset, we are ready to use sys for ASM management. I decided to create another user ASMDBA as I tried above.
SQL> create user ASMDBA identified by test01;
User created.
SQL> grant SYSASM, SYSOPER to ASMDBA;
Grant succeeded.
SQL> select * from v$pwfile_users;
USERNAME SYSDBA SYSOPE SYSASM
SYS TRUE TRUE TRUE
ASMDBA FALSE TRUE TRUE

Create space in ASM Instance

Dear All,
Here is the configuration we have:
Primary Database: Oracle RAC (2 Nodes). 11g R1 RAC, 10g R2 Database using ASM (OS: Windows Server 2003)
Data Guard: 10g R2 Database using ASM (OS: Windows Server 2003)
We are getting the following errors in the alert log file of ASM Instance (Data Guard) - Data Gaurd mode is 'Max Performance':
ORA-00270: error creating archive log +DG_DATAFILES_AND_FB/accelastdby/primary_arch_logs/arc32471_0721252017.002

ORA-15041: diskgroup space exhausted
Uopn checking the disk group DG_DATAFILES_AND_FB, free space is 0.
What are the possible options to create more space on this disk group? Can we delete some files safely without any impact (for example: Archive logs which have been applied to database)?
Thanks for your advice.
Regards,
Muhammad Riaz

Hi,
First you can add more disks to the diskgroup so you can get more space, ASM will do rebalance once new disks added.
Second, It seems that your archivelog in dataguard were not deleted after being applied. You can delete the applied archivelog in dataguard, use RMAN is the best option
Hope this helps

Trouble using asm instance for new database

I have an asm instance and am trying to create a new database that will use the asm storage. I'm using dbca to create the new database. This is a test system on windows so I'm using the asmtool -create flatfiles for disks with the asmallow_only_raw_disks parameter set to false.
If I have #SQLNET.AUTHENTICATION_SERVICES = (NTS) commented out in my sqlnet.ora, then I can't get into asmcmd:
ORA-01031: insufficient privileges (DBD ERROR: OCISessionBegin)
and dbca won't create the new database that uses asm because the dbca gets the same 01031 error when trying to create the control files for that database.
If I have SQLNET.AUTHENTICATION_SERVICES = (NTS) NOT commented out, the I can get into asmcmd, but I can't startup the databases using sys, even though I am sitting at the server,
AND, dbca won't create the new database that uses asm becuase the dbca can't start the instance
credential retrieval failure.
I'm in a catch 22. Something is not right with my system but I just can't seem to figure out what it is.
The asm instance does have a password file.

I let the dbca create scripts and am currently walking through the scripts. I think it's my asm database that is actually creating the problem. I did the orapwd and oradim manually and can startup nomount the instance just fine. The create database statement fails on creating the controlfile but it's saying it already exists. I suspected the dbca form wasn't giving me all the errors like it should.
Thanks for your suggestion on the password file.

How to create an asm instance manaually? oracle 11gr2.

env: oracle 11gr2 os: hpux or aix single machine , not rac.
question:how to create an asm instance manaually?? diskgroup,listener,db ,they can be resigistered to crs??
can anyone give me document about it?

Hi,
This is a simple answer:
Automatic Storage Management (ASM)
ASM was a new storage option introduced with Oracle Database 10gR1 that provides the services of a filesystem, logical volume manager, and software RAID in a platform-independent manner. ASM can stripe and mirror your disks, allow disks to be added or removed while the database is under load, and automatically balance I/O to remove "hot spots." It also supports direct and asynchronous I/O and implements the Oracle Data Manager API (simplified I/O system call interface) introduced in Oracle9i.
ASM is not a general-purpose filesystem and can be used only for Oracle data files, redo logs, and control files. Files in ASM can be created and named automatically by the database (by use of the Oracle Managed Files feature) or manually by the DBA. Because the files stored in ASM are not accessible to the operating system, the only way to perform backup and recovery operations on databases that use ASM files is through Recovery Manager (RMAN).
ASM is implemented as a separate Oracle instance that must be up if other databases are to be able to access it. Memory requirements for ASM are light: only 64 MB for most systems.
Installing ASM
On Linux platforms, ASM can use raw devices or devices managed via the ASMLib interface. Oracle recommends ASMLib over raw devices for ease-of-use and performance reasons. ASMLib 2.0 is available for free download from OTN. This section walks through the process of configuring a simple ASM instance by using ASMLib 2.0 and building a database that uses ASM for disk storage.
Determine Which Version of ASMLib You Need
ASMLib 2.0 is delivered as a set of three Linux packages:
* oracleasmlib-2.0 - the ASM libraries
* oracleasm-support-2.0 - utilities needed to administer ASMLib
* oracleasm - a kernel module for the ASM library
Each Linux distribution has its own set of ASMLib 2.0 packages, and within each distribution, each kernel version has a corresponding oracleasm package. The following paragraphs describe how to determine which set of packages you need.
First, determine which kernel you are using by logging in as root and running the following command:
uname -rm
Ex:
# uname -rm
2.6.9-22.ELsmp i686
The example shows that this is a 2.6.9-22 kernel for an SMP (multiprocessor) box using Intel i686 CPUs.
Use this information to find the correct ASMLib packages on OTN:
1. Point your Web browser to http://www.oracle.com/technology/tech/linux/asmlib/index.html
2. Select the link for your version of Linux.
3. Download the oracleasmlib and oracleasm-support packages for your version of Linux
4. Download the oracleasm package corresponding to your kernel. In the example above, the oracleasm-2.6.9-22.ELsmp-2.0.0-1.i686.rpm package was used.
Next, install the packages by executing the following command as root:
rpm -Uvh oracleasm-kernel_version-asmlib_version.cpu_type.rpm \
oracleasmlib-asmlib_version.cpu_type.rpm \
oracleasm-support-asmlib_version.cpu_type.rpm
Ex:
# rpm -Uvh \
> oracleasm-2.6.9-22.ELsmp-2.0.0-1.i686.rpm \
> oracleasmlib-2.0.1-1.i386.rpm \
> oracleasm-support-2.0.1-1.i386.rpm

2:oracleasm-2.6.9-22.ELsm########################################### [ 67%]
3:oracleasmlib ########################################### [100%]
Configuring ASMLib
Before using ASMLib, you must run a configuration script to prepare the driver. Run the following command as root, and answer the prompts as shown in the example below.
# /etc/init.d/oracleasm configure
Configuring the Oracle ASM library driver.
This will configure the on-boot properties of the Oracle ASM library
driver. The following questions will determine whether the driver is
loaded on boot and what permissions it will have. The current values
will be shown in brackets ('[]'). Hitting <ENTER> without typing an
answer will keep that current value. Ctrl-C will abort.
Default user to own the driver interface []: oracle
Default group to own the driver interface []: dba
Start Oracle ASM library driver on boot (y/n) [n]: y
Fix permissions of Oracle ASM disks on boot (y/n) [y]: y
Writing Oracle ASM library driver configuration: [ OK ]
Creating /dev/oracleasm mount point: [ OK ]
Loading module "oracleasm": [ OK ]
Mounting ASMlib driver filesystem: [ OK ]
Scanning system for ASM disks: [ OK ]
Next you tell the ASM driver which disks you want it to use. Oracle recommends that each disk contain a single partition for the entire disk. See Partitioning the Disks at the beginning of this section for an example of creating disk partitions.
You mark disks for use by ASMLib by running the following command as root:
/etc/init.d/oracleasm createdisk DISK_NAME device_name
Tip: Enter the DISK_NAME in UPPERCASE letters.
Ex:
# /etc/init.d/oracleasm createdisk VOL1 /dev/sdb1
Marking disk "/dev/sdb1" as an ASM disk: [ OK ]
# /etc/init.d/oracleasm createdisk VOL1 /dev/sdc1
Marking disk "/dev/sdc1" as an ASM disk: [ OK ]
# /etc/init.d/oracleasm createdisk VOL1 /dev/sdd1
Marking disk "/dev/sdd1" as an ASM disk: [ OK ]
Verify that ASMLib has marked the disks:
# /etc/init.d/oracleasm listdisks
VOL1
VOL2
VOL3
Create the ASM Instance
ASM runs as a separate Oracle instance which can be created and configured using the Oracle Universal Installer. Now that ASMLib is installed and the disks are marked for use, you can create an ASM instance.
Log in as oracle and start runInstaller:
$ ./runInstaller

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".

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!!

Asm configure for windows

Hi All,
I am using Oracle 11g with win xp as operating system.
I have three partition for hardisk.
c:\ is for windows and oracle and program files - Primary partition
d:\ free space no file exists here but can see in windows explorer - logial drive partiton
and one more partiton is there but I have made it unsed. it shows green color in computer management\disk management windows.
so when check in windows explorer I find it had c: and d: drive only.
I want to create oracle database with asm
I click the DBCA and select configure automatic storage management and then
click next
step 2 asm diskgroup I find no groups there.
so I click the create new button and then
the next window says to add a disk group name
I enter dsk1 as my disk group name
I have to select member disk path. but there are no path I can find below.
I tried with show all radio button but still there were no files.
I select the stamp disk button and n window open
I the n select add or change label and click next
it shows windows with two paths and both of them a disable.
I cannot select those path
select the disk to be stamped. it shows partiton1 and partion2.
I have loged in as admin on OS
oracle csservice is started
oracle asmservice is started
Pls some one help me
rgds

Hi, you say that
+"it shows windows with two paths and both of them a disable.+
+I cannot select those path+
+select the disk to be stamped. it shows partiton1 and partion2."+
Disable because have formatted these drive,delete these volumes and do not format then you will see these as enable,Then you can create ASM instance and diskgroups,finally you can create database using this disk groups.
