Is it safe to increase LUN size of ASM disk online 11gR2 ?

I have an Oracle 11gr2 ASM in a RAC, using an EMC SAN. I have one Disk Group (DATA), with one disk (DISK1), configured with external redundancy [Flash Recovery Area is non-ASM]. Red Hat Linux.
My storage is a 450GB LUN, and I want to grow it by 150GB. I should not add a 150GB LUN as a new disk, as the disks would be uneven. And I don't want to create a new disk group, as that's more admin.
So I want to increase my LUN from 450GB to 600GB, which can be done online by the UNIX admin. Then I can resize the disk in ASM and all should be OK. This is a production system.
Has anyone actually done this ? Does it work ? I have seen posts worried about changes to partition tables.

Hi there.
Adding more luns to the ASM diskgroups one way to do it.
And as any way, have pros and cons (maybe no cons at all)
but, think in some cases you are charged per internal BU (yeah, as today with Cloud outside being more cheap) per task
hypothetically, Imagine 200 USD per each change per team involved
new lun
Storage
Unix
DBA
600 USD
now imagine, a fixed 50USD fee to make a lun grow as all is set, and DBA can handle as part of BAU
that is 600 vs 50That is only internal funny money - if they need the space, they (your internal client) will pay for it. If you just extend the LUN you still will give up parallelism gained by multiple LUNs and that parallelism could cost your client $$$ because of processing time charges.
Hypothetically, in a "future release", I would not be surprised if you are able to store your database files on a "cloud" architecture.

    You would be better off creating a new metadata field of whatever size and storing your required value in that. If you really want to muck with the dDocName (I strongly recommend you don't) there are several database tables that need to be modified directly... you'll need an Oracle consultant to figure all that out.

  • How to increase size of a Disk Group in ASM?

    Hi,
    I'm testing the ASM in AIX. I created a Logical Volume with size is, e.g., 10G. Then I assign this LV with a Disk Group in ASM. Now I increase the size of the LV using AIX's smit, e.g., to 20G. How can I increase the size of my Disk Group in ASM?
    I understand that Oracle recommend to assign a whole physical hard disk to a Disk Group in ASM.Thus, the resize command of ASM can only reduce the size of Disk Group, but cannot increase the size of it?
    Any advice?
    Pham

    Disk Group is a logical term, phyical size of a diskgroup is determined by the disks belonging to a diskgroup. So you cannot increase a diskgroup, only the disks in it. You can resize a disk up to its physical limit (resize option of ALTER DISKGROUP statement).

  • Maximun LUN size for non-MAC SAN

    Hi.
    I am trying to configure a PPC Mac Xserve to utilize storage space on a non-mac SAN (Compellent). I successfully setup the original volume on the SAN as a 2TB volume, zoned it through the Qlogic switch and mounted it on the Xserve.
    Now I need to increase the size of that volume to 3TB. I unmounted the volume on the Xserve, deleted and recreated it on the SAN, and then tried remounting it on the Xserve. The Xserve detects the new volume, but only sees 2TB of space. No matter what I do, I cannot get it to see anything more than 2TB.
    I thought the 10.4.10 FS (HFS+ Journaled) could see well over 2TB? Is there a LUN limitation? The only reference to this that I saw, was a limitation with older versions of the XSAN software.
    Thank you.

  • Database Copy LUN Size

    Hi, 
    Quick question about database copies and the storage requirements. 
    I understand that for a DB copy, each MBX server has to have the same drive letters for the relevant drives/LUNS, but what
    about size? 
    Do the drives have to be the same size? 
    The reason for asking is that we already have two MBX servers and all our DBs have copies on drives that are exactly the same
    size. We are looking to replace the underlying hardware one by one (i.e. introduce a new MBX server to the DAG and copies, then eject the old one, rinse and repeat), and are hoping to increase the capacity of the drives at the same time. 
    Thanks.

    Hi,
    Agreed. DAG members should have the same drive letters, same LUN sizes.
    Best regards,

    I would guess that the HDMI port on your mac is for output only - no input, and that's what your'e attempting to do when you attach the mac to your xbox. I looked in Mactracker and it lists the HDMI port as video output for both the 13" Retina MacBook Pro and the 15" Retina MacBook Pro (your post didn't say which one you have), so looks like that is the issue..

    Hi,

          document     = cv_top.
    But the heaidng is not displayed with high font size and is similar to the text with cl_dd_document=>medium
    How can I increase font size of heading.
    Thanks!

    Use SAP_STYLE parameter in the method.
    Value will be HEADING or KEY.

  • Is there any way to increase the size of printing on each page? With most of the printing it is really tiny. printing

    I have been using I.E. with myyahoo.com as my homepage and I started having a page freeze for 30 seconds (approx.) 5 or 6 times a session. this is powered thru ATT.net. I thought that Firefox may correct this problem. When I installed Firefox I decided to use myyahoo.com as my home page. Yahoo/IE has a magnifying glass icon in the lower right corner that allows me to increase the print size. When I am on Foxfire the basis text size is 1/16th of an inch! How can I increase this size?????????????
    #2 is it possible to have a different home page for Firefox and leave myyahoo.com on IE ???????????

    1. The Firefox [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Page+Zoom Page Zoom] feature does a domain by domain level of saving the users preferred zoom level settings, there is no default Page Zoom level setting in Firefox, as with some other browsers.
    Try the Default FullZoom Level extension: <br />

  • Lun Size best practice for UC apps and VMWare?

    Hi,
    We have UCS manager v2.1 with FI 6248 direct FC attached to NetApp with plenty of storage.
    Per following doc, Lun size for UC apps should be 500GB - 1.5TB and 4 to 8 VMs per Lun.
    http://docwiki.cisco.com/wiki/UC_Virtualization_Storage_System_Design_Requirements#Best_Practices_for_Storage_Array_LUNs_for_Unified_Communications_Applications
    We have four B200M3 blades and 3 to 4 UC apps (CUCM, Unity, UCCX) will be hosted on each blade. May add more VM the blades in the future.
    I am thinking four 1 TB Luns and one for each blades. (actually 8 Luns in toal, 4 boot luns for ESXi and 4 for UC apps).
    What is the best practice (or common deployment) to create Lun size and design?
    Thanks,
    Harry

    UC apps need low IO,nothing special,Reference vmware LUN design is ok.
