Migrating Netware to VM with Portlock Storage Manager

We are currently in the process of migrating out NetWare 6.5 SP8 boxes to a virtual environment using PortLock Storage Manager. We have successful migrated a number of NetWare servers already. However, when we tried to migrate our BorderManager server using the same approach as the other Netware boxes. The server prompted us with a message stating that there was a problem and to resolve this we need to run MM UPGRADE PARTITIONS. (Note this box is running NetWare 6.5 SP07)
First, what does MM UPGRADE PARTITIONS do?
Second, can this be ran with no down time?
Third, what are the potential problems with running this command?
Thank you,
Jon

The message from Portlock Storage Manager means that your NetWare server has NetWare partitions formatted with an older specification. For NetWare 6.5, NetWare partitions no longer have a HotFix or Mirror partition area. The "mm upgrade partitions" updates the on disk format of a partition. Novell documentation states that this command can be run on running servers with mounted volumes. However, we recommend backup up the server first and then rebooting after the command is executed.
Novell documentation on this command:

You should also update the media format of the NSS pools:

  • RMAN integrated with Tivoli Storage Manager

    Environment
    ===========
    Two Node RAC Production DBs on 10.2.0.4
    Platform : Solaris
    RMAN is the only backup tool i've ever worked with. I've come across OTN articles which discuss TSM along with RMAN. Is there any advantage at all in using TSM with RMAN ? Or, Is it just marketing gimmick by IBM?

    Our strategy:
    1--Monday ------------------->Level 0 backup  (1:00am)
    2--Tuesday----->     Level1
    3--Wednesday----->     Level1
    4--Thursday------------------>Level 0 backup  (1:00am)
    5--Friday----->     Level1
    6--Saturday----->     Level1
    0--Sunday ----->     Level1Our RMAN backup pieces got to an NFS mount . Every monday morning the Level 0 backup is copied to Tape by Sysadmins and kept for 3 months. So, where does Tivoli storage manager come into picture ? Does TSM do copying the backup pieces from Disk to Tape part ?

  • HP Storage Management Pack Conflicts with Network Monitoring SNMP

    The HP Storage management pack that I installed requires starting the Windows SNMP services, which creates a conflict with SNMP used for SCOM network monitoring.  I am spinning up a second SCOM mangement server so I can split these functions. What would
    you recommend to split these functions across the two management servers?  Uninstall the HP Storage Management Pack, and install on the new server?  Or move the network monitoring to the second server?
    Thank you for your help!

    Does the HP Storage pack support resource pools? What I've found with these 3rd party packs that implement connector services is they do not provide true HA via SCOM resource pools - they are standalone systems with a connector service. This is true for
    the NetApp (DataONTAP) pack, and it's a huge disappointment.
    Vendors do this because they have an API, and they think the only way to implement discovery and monitoring in SCOM is to create a service that accesses the API - and then the service is basically a collector in this case, and typically has a handful of
    rules (sometimes just one rule) that scrape events on the management server and they are misinterpreted to be alerts coming from some instance.
    I turn green when I run into this type of problem, because all this can be accomplished with native modules or managed code that are designed to work very well with SCOM.
    I know this doesn't answer your question - it's more a way for me to express my distain for these type of packs.

  • Need help with XP instal. stuck at: Intel Matrix Storage Manager Driver

    I've bought a new 2.0 ghz laptop with vista blah blah but i want to change to XP.
    I've
    bought a new copy of XP and am ready to go then first issue was during
    installation the screen says can't find harddrive installed.
    I
    then found some thread somewhere which i've lost that said to buy an
    external floppy drive and downloaded that floppy driver thingy that i
    need to get past that stage from the toshiba website..
    FYI driver name: SA200 ACHI F6-1017-XP
    That
    worked fine.. when it said press F8 if you agree to install XP i nearly
    wet myself.. anyhow after it formatted the drive it then asked me this:
    Insert the disk labeled:
    *Intel Matrix Storage Manager Driver*
    into drive A:
    * Press ENTER when ready
    WTF are you talking about laptop? can someone please help me past this stage?
    :-( :-( i only want XP installed.
    So far its been like 3 weeks since i've been trying to install it
    Message was edited by: IamMILOS

    Here are detailed instructions I found earlier:
    Installing a Retail (street copy) version of Windows XP on a Vista Toshiba Laptop.
    - If the Toshiba laptop has a seperate BIOS for XP and Vista, download and flash the XP BIOS over the Vista BIOS.
    - If XP Setup does not detect the SATA Hard Disk, simply turn on "SATA Compatibility Mode" in the BIOS if applicable. If this option is not available, follow these steps:
    1) Download the Windows XP SATA F6 driver from the Toshiba Support/Downloads Website.
    If an individual F6 driver is not available, download and unzip the Intel Matrix Storage Manager driver. The Intel Matrix Storage Manager driver package should contain some folders under the "F6flpy" folder. For example: ICH7M_32bit for an ICH7 based chipset when installing Windows XP 32bit.
    2) Copy the F6 driver files (iastor.inf, etc..) to a blank floppy disk. The actual files must reside in the root directory of the Floppy Disk. For example, A:\iastor.inf, A:\iaahci.inf, etc..
    3) Use a Toshiba USB Floppy Drive with the Toshiba notebook. (some non-Toshiba USB Floppy Drives may not function properly during XP setup)
    4) Boot from Windows XP CD-ROM, start the installation and ensure the floppy disk is inserted in the USB Floppy Drive.
    5) When XP Setup prompts you to press F6 to install a Storage Driver, immediately press F6.
    6) When XP Setup prompts you to select a SATA driver, select the appropriate driver and continue. For example: ICH7M Intel(R) 82801GBM SATA AHCI Controller, ICH8M Intel(R) 82801HEM/HBM SATA AHCI Controller
    7) Keep the Floppy Drive attached and Floppy Disk inserted until XP has completed its installation. Do not Partition or Format the Hard Disk during XP Setup. The SATA drivers from the Floppy Disk are copied and stored on the Hard Disk during XP installation.

  • DPM 2010; migrated DPM protection group to new storage pool ; data on source disk is not expiring

    I am running DPM 2010 with 4 storage pool disks. 2 are iSCSI; 1 is SAS; the fourth, also iSCSI, was recently deployed to replace the SAS storage pool disk.
    (1) iSCSI
    (2) iSCSI
    (3) SAS - Source
    (4) iSCSI - Destination
    Initially we tried to migrate the entire data source (3) to the new iSCSI storage pool disk destination (4). This failed
    Set-ProtectionGroup: The allocation of disk space for storage pool volume failed because there is not enough unallocated disk space in the storage pool (ID: 358). (Sorry, I was not allowed to attach an image).
    We believe the source disk previously created dynamic links to the long-term retention device (tape) which resulted in exceeding the available space on the new destination iSCSI storage pool disk. The source storage pool disk was totaling ~2.5TB, but needed
    ~9TB for the destination.
    Instead I've tried to migrate the DPM protection group. The migration was successful. I followed the procedure outlined here
    "Microsoft DPM 2012 Sp1 – How To Migrate Data Source using MigrateDatasourceDataFromDPM by ICTtechie" (Sorry, I was not allowed to include a link).
    My understanding / expectation was that the data on the source disk would expire within 5 days (as this is our retention time set for disk replication); instead data started to expire from the other 2 iSCSI (1), (2) storage pool disks.
    What am I missing here?
    Thanks

  • Clearing GL with Open Item Management

    Dear Experts.
                    A liability GL (Remuneration Gl account) has been created by the client in the system without open item management. After that several entries has been posted in that GL account. Few months back they have activated Open Item Management for that GL using a program.Now they want to clear few entries in that GL account and while clearing the GL in F-03 system is displaying an error
    Document splitting: Items for clearing 1000/9300000661/2012/001 not found
    Message no. GLT0002
    Diagnosis
    Document splitting cannot perform clearing because it was not possible to find complete splitting information on the items to be cleared (company code, document number, fiscal year, item).
    System Response
    Clearing cannot be performed and the document cannot be posted.
    Procedure
    Exclude the affected item from clearing.
    It may be that this item was not posted with active document splitting. In this case, this item or document would have to be migrated.
    This error occurs due to the Open Item Management activation in the GL after entries were posted.
    Now the client wants to clear few entries in this GL account for which Open Item Management was activated recently. The client is not willing to create a new GL and post transfer entries. Is there any other possibility to clear this GL account.
    Please provide your valuable suggestions.
    Regards,
    Ramprasath

    Hi,
    The reason for the error GLT0002 is that there is no values for
    document in tables FAGL_SPLINFO and FAGL_SPLINFO_VAL
    Regarding the clearing process in the FAGL_ACTIVATE_OP:
    The clearing of the 'old' items is the standard process in the report.
    Here is the part from the documentation:
    (Please review the documentation on FAGL_ACTIVATE_OP via se38
    enter in FAGL_SWITCH_TO_OPEN_ITEM view documentation)
    The system then activates open item management and clears all existing
    open items. After this clearing, you have the option of having the
    system repost the amounts that were initially written off.
    This is done to start newly with the OI management once it is activated.
    So if you want to activate the OI management for an other account in
    your  system, please take into account that the clearing should NOT be
    opened again in standard.
    I would request you to please read the documentation in SE38 for FAGL_SWITCH_TO_OPEN_ITEM
    and please check whether all criteria's are fulfilled or not.
    I hope this helps.
    Regards
    Eugene

  • With out storage location in PO and VL31N is it possible to post GR wit 103

    Hi There,
    My scenario is once PO is created then create the inbound delivery in VL31N against PO,after that post the GR with movement type 103 once inspection is complete then reverse with m.type 105.
    Here my question is in PO storage location is optional where as in VL31N with out storage location when post the GR system is giving error message that "document incomplete. You cannot post goods movement"
    So I need solution without entering storage location in PO and VL31N system shouls allow to posr GR with m.type 103 and 105.
    Appreciate you help.

    You can post GR agains inbound delivery (IBD) in MIGO (A01-R04) - specify the inbound delivery number, enter movement type 103 then push enter.
    In this case system does not ask for storage location, so w/o entering SLoc in the IBD you can post the GR.
    Please also read OSS note 1225077 how to manage this scenario.
    Regards,
    Csaba

  • Intel Matrix Storage Manager disables Windows Update and Windows Validation on Windows 7 64-bit

    I have a Lenovo ThinkPad R61 8918CTO on which I did a clean install of Windows 7 Ultimate SP1 (64-bit) on a new Seagate Momentus XT 750GB drive. The installation was trouble-free, as were all of the post-install Windows Updates.
    Then I installed ThinkVantage System Update 4.03 and used it to install most of the available Lenovo updates. Big mistake. I'll spare you a detailed account of the hours I wasted troubleshooting, rolling back to previous restore points, and doing more troubleshooting, but it turns out that installing Intel Matrix Storage Manager driver v. 8.9.2.1002 caused Windows Update and Windows Validation to fail.
    Symptoms: Windows Update control panel can't check for updates and reports that the Windows Update service isn't running when it actually is. Online Windows Validation fails and the standalone Windows Validation utility won't install. Microsoft programs that require a validated copy of Windows (e.g., Microsoft Security Essentials) won't install. 
    Solution: Roll back the driver for the relevant SATA controller to the previous driver.
    I've reinstalled ThinkVantage System Update 4.03 and hidden the proposed Intel Matrix Storage Manager update; since then, I've used it to complete my Lenovo updates without issue.
    I hope this post will help other people with this problem find the solution a lot faster than it took me!

    This happened after installing a new advanced format drive with 4k-byte sectors, I'd guess.  If the storage driver doesn't report the physical sector size to Windows, update fails.
    I just ran across this myself (again) putting Win 7 on a T400.
    I don't know why this is still going on.  It may be that the update lists for older machines still have pre-AF-drive drivers listed.
    FYI, another fix is going to the Intel site and installing the latest Matrix Storage Manager AHCI driver.  This may be more desirable than rolling back to an older driver in some cases.

  • P55-CD53, how to install SATA AHCI drivers and Matrix Storage Manager?

    Please excuse my noobness as this is for my first PC build and much of it is Greek to me, but could someone please inform/educate me as to what the following drivers (link) are for and which need to be installed after a fresh installation of Windows 7 Pro x64? Do I need to install all of them because some of these appear to be redundant, just from different manufacturers, or am I mistaken? I have a single 500GB HDD but will probably add more down the road.

    After booting from the Windows 7 disc, I selected Repair Windows, Load Drivers. Which specific controllers do I need to install for the P55-CD53 MB since there are multiple controllers listed for each of the four SATA compressed files?
    Considering the multiple files and multiple controllers, is there no one out there with a P55-CD53 that has AHCI mode enabled that can give dumbed down instructions on how to do so?
    The manual states "Select the appropriate RAID controller and press enter." Well... which one is the appropriate controller? Am I suppose to load the driver for all the AHCI controllers if that's even possible?
    For the Intel P55 AHCI / RAID Drivers compressed file, these are the controllers available within F6flpy64\iaAHCI.inf:
    Intel(R) ESB2 SATA AHCI Controller
    Intel(R) ICH 10D/DO SATA AHCI Controller
    Intel(R) ICH10R SATA AHCI Controller
    Intel(R) ICH7M/MDH SATA AHCI Controller
    Intel(R) ICH7R/DH SATA AHCI Controller
    Intel(R) ICH8M-E/M SATA AHCI Controller
    Intel(R) ICH8R/DH/DO SATA AHCI Controller
    Intel(R) ICH9M-E/M SATA AHCI Controller
    Intel(R) ICH9R/DO/DH SATA AHCI Controller
    Intel(R) PCH SATA AHCI Controller
    Intel(R) PCHM SATA AHCI Controller 4 Port
    Intel(R) PCHM SATA AHCI Controller 6 Port
    Also, regarding the dual BIOS controls for SATA/IDE/RAID settings previously mentioned, I believe SATA ports 1-6 are controlled via Intel and 7,8 are controlled via Jmicron. Considering my HDD is currently plugged into SATA 1, Jmicron probably isn't necessary for the moment.
    Edit:
    Turns out that none of the drivers for the controllers listed in iaAHCI.inf could be installed. However, I went ahead and installed the drivers listed for all the controllers in iaStor.inf. I reinstalled Windows 7 to get rid of the BSOD. I then installed the chipset drivers and Intel Matrix Storage Manager.

  • Copy Key figure data between two planning area with different storage bucket profile

    Hi,
    I have a DP planning area ' PA1' with monthly storage bucket profile data view 'PA1M' ( monthly TBF) and I want to copy the data to another planning area 'PA2' whose storage bucket is weekly. This would need me to write a custom program which will split monthly to weekly and then populate 'PA2'.
    However, In 'PA2', I created two data views 'PA2W' (with weekly time bucket profile) and 'PA2M' (with Monthly Time bucket profile). If I am able to copy the data from PA1 (PA1M) to PA2(PA2M), it will automatically splits monthly to weekly in PA2W.
    So my question is if there exists a way I can copy key figure data from PA1M to PA2M? Any BAPI?

    Hi Rakesh,
    You can use COPY/Version Management Function to do this.
    Path: Demand Planning > Environment >Copy/ Version Management
    The system takes into account only those periodicities that are common to both planning areas.
    For example, if the data is saved in months in the source planning area (PA1) but in months and weeks in the target planning area (PA2)
    the system copies to months in the target planning area and then Disaggregates the data to the storage buckets in accordance with the Time-based Disaggregation.
    hope this wil help to understand the basic concept.

  • Oracle's 10gR2 Automated Storage Management implementation on CentOS 4.1

    Actually there are several nice articles on Oracle Technical Network
    devoted to the same topic. What’s new may be said ?
    The target of message is to highlight the optimal sequence of steps
    required to bring Oracle10g (10.2.0.1) ASM-database up on CentOS4.1 , placing ASM instance and serviced databases in different Oracle Homes.
    Oracleasm library install is done immediately after creating "oracle"
    linux account and "dba" group to be ready for ASM Instance creating during
    the first Installer run supposed to build it. ASM instance for disks and disk’s
    group management is created the first by Installer along with the disk’s group
    for database supposed to be built during the second run of Installer and to be
    placed into recently created disk’s group.
    I. Oracle 10gR2 ASM and ASMLib 2.0 I/O.
    1.Install CentOS 4.1
    2.Run as root:
    # groupadd dba # group of users to be granted SYSDBA system privilege
    # groupadd oinstall # group owner of Oracle files
    # useradd -c "Oracle software owner" -g oinstall -G dba oracle
    # passwd oracle
    # mkdir -p /u01/app/oracle
    # chown -R oracle.oinstall /u01
    # mkdir -p /u02/oradata/wtfdata
    # chown -R oracle.oinstall /u02
    OTN instruction:-
    Before installing Automatic Storage Management, it is recommended that you install the optional add-on Automatic Storage Management support library, ASMLib. ASMLib is an application program interface (API) Oracle that is aimed at simplifying the interface between the operating system and the database, and to exploit the capabilities and strengths of storage arrays provided by different vendors.ASMLib provides an alternative interface for the Automatic Storage Management-enabled kernel to discover and access block devices. It provides storage and operating system vendors the opportunity to supply extended storage-related features. These features provide benefits such as improved performance and greater data integrity.
    OTN instruction ends.
    3.To install ASMLIB 2.0 run as root:-
    # rpm -Uvh oracleasm-2.6.9-11.ELsmp-2.0.0-1.i686.rpm \
    oracleasmlib-2.0.0-1.i386.rpm \
    oracleasm-support-2.0.0-1.i386.rpm
    Now you get /etc/init.d/oracleasm ready to go.
    Configuring the Oracle ASM library driver:-
    # /etc/init.d/oracleasm configure
    Default user to own the driver interface [oracle]: oracle
    Default group to own the driver interface [dba]: dba
    Start Oracle ASM library driver on boot (y/n) [y]: y
    Fix permissions of Oracle ASM disks on boot (y/n) [y]: y
    Writing Oracle ASM library driver configuration: [  OK  ]
    Scanning system for ASM disks: [  OK  ]
    # /etc/init.d/oracleasm enable
    Create ASM disks as desired utilizing command:
    # /etc/init.d/oracleasm createdisk VLM0X /dev/sdx
    Tune /etc/sysctl.conf,/etc/security/limits.conf,/etc/pam.d/login, /etc/profile.
    and oracle's shell environment as advised in [1].
    Login as oracle:-
    $ cd /tmp/database
    $./runInstaller
    OTN instructions:-
    It’s recommended that you install Automatic Storage Management in its own Oracle home, regardless of whether you plan to only have one or multiple database instances.Installing Automatic Storage Management in its own Oracle home helps ensure higher availability and manageability.
    With separate Oracle homes, you can upgrade Automatic Storage Management and databases independently, and you can remove database software without impacting the Automatic Storage Management instance. Ensure that the Automatic Storage Management version is the same or later than the Oracle Database version.If an Automatic Storage Management installation does not already exist and you select the Oracle Universal Installer option to install and configure Automatic Storage Management only, then Oracle Universal Installer installs Automatic Storage Management in its own Oracle home.
    OTN instruction ends.
    Select " Advanced installation" and
    create ASM instance in $ORACLE_HOME=/u01/app/oracle/oracle/product/10.2.0/db_1
    Create disk group during this run .
    Exit installer.
    $ ./runInstaller
    Select " Advanced installation" and create new ASM-database placed into existing disk's group

    II. Oracle 10gR2 ASM and Standard Linux I/O.
    This method creates Oracle database files on raw character devices managed by ASM
    using standard Linux I/O system calls.It requires to create RAW devices for all
    disk partitions used by ASM.
    1.Install CentOS 4.1
    2.Run as root:
    # groupadd dba # group of users to be granted SYSDBA system privilege
    # groupadd oinstall # group owner of Oracle files
    # useradd -c "Oracle software owner" -g oinstall -G dba oracle
    # passwd oracle
    # mkdir -p /u01/app/oracle
    # chown -R oracle.oinstall /u01
    # mkdir -p /u02/oradata/data
    # chown -R oracle.oinstall /u02
    Just as an example create 4 partitions:
    /dev/hda6,/dev/hdc6 5 GB each one
    /dev/hda7,/dev/hdc7 3 GB each one
    Create raw devices modifying file /etc/sysconfig/rawdevices as follows:
    /dev/raw/raw1 /dev/hda6
    /dev/raw/raw2 /dev/hdc6
    /dev/raw/raw3 /dev/hda7
    /dev/raw/raw4 /dev/hdc7
    Put in /etc/rc.d/rc.local
    chown oracle:dba /dev/raw/raw*
    chmod 660 /dev/raw/raw*
    I was experiencing problems with loosing "oracle:dba" permissions after Linux
    reboot. Oracle's raw device came up with "root:disk" ownership after reboot.
    Restart Linux
    Run as root:-
    # service rawdevices restart
    Tune /etc/sysctl.conf,/etc/security/limits.conf,/etc/pam.d/login,
    /etc/profile and oracle's shell environment as advised in [1].
    Login as oracle:-
    $ cd /tmp/database
    $./runInstaller
    Select " Advanced installation" and
    create ASM instance in ORACLE_HOME=/u01/app/oracle/oracle/product/10.2.0/asm
    During this run create diskgroup RAWDATA1 with normal redundancy
    mirroring /dev/raw/raw1 and /dev/raw/raw2.
    You should be fine with discovering raw devices if permissions are in place (oracle:dba)
    Exit installer.
    Export ORACLE_HOME for ASM instance and corresponding PATH.
    Then run "dbca" to create diskgroup RAWDATA2 with
    normal redundancy mirroring /dev/raw/raw3 and /dev/raw/raw4
    $ ./runInstaller
    Select " Advanced installation" and create new ASM-database placed RAWDATA1 diskgroup
    in $ORACLE_HOME=/u01/app/oracle/oracle/product/10.2.0/db_1.
    Modify ~oracle/.bash_profile correspondently.Relogin as oracle.

  • Oracle 10gR2 Automated Storage Management implementation on CentOS 4.1

    Actually there are several nice articles on Oracle Technical Network devoted to the same topic. What’s new may be said ?
    The target of this message is to highlight the optimal sequence of steps required to bring Oracle10g (10.2.0.1) ASM-database up on CentOS4.1 , placing ASM instance and serviced databases in different Oracle Homes.Oracleasm library install is done immediately after creating "oracle" linux account and "dba" group to be ready for ASM Instance creating during the first Installer run supposed to build it. ASM instance for disks and disk’s group management is created the first by Installer along with the disk’s group for database supposed to be built during the second run of Installer and to be placed into recently created disk’s group.
    I. Oracle 10gR2 ASM and ASMLib 2.0 I/O.
    1.Install CentOS 4.1
    2.Run as root:
    # groupadd dba # group of users to be granted SYSDBA system privilege
    # groupadd oinstall # group owner of Oracle files
    # useradd -c "Oracle software owner" -g oinstall -G dba oracle
    # passwd oracle
    # mkdir -p /u01/app/oracle
    # chown -R oracle.oinstall /u01
    # mkdir -p /u02/oradata/wtfdata
    # chown -R oracle.oinstall /u02
    OTN instruction:-
    Before installing Automatic Storage Management, it is recommended that you install the optional add-on Automatic Storage Management support library, ASMLib. ASMLib is an application program interface (API) Oracle that is aimed at simplifying the interface between the operating system and the database, and to exploit the capabilities and strengths of storage arrays provided by different vendors ASMLib provides an alternative interface for the Automatic Storage Management-enabled kernel to discover and access block devices. It provides storage and operating system vendors the opportunity to supply extended storage-related features. These features provide benefits such as improved performance and greater data integrity.
    OTN instruction ends.
    3.To install ASMLIB 2.0 run as root:-
    # rpm -Uvh oracleasm-2.6.9-11.ELsmp-2.0.0-1.i686.rpm \
    oracleasmlib-2.0.0-1.i386.rpm \
    oracleasm-support-2.0.0-1.i386.rpm
    Now you get /etc/init.d/oracleasm ready to go.
    Configuring the Oracle ASM library driver:-
    # /etc/init.d/oracleasm configure
    Default user to own the driver interface [oracle]: oracle
    Default group to own the driver interface [dba]: dba
    Start Oracle ASM library driver on boot (y/n) [y]: y
    Fix permissions of Oracle ASM disks on boot (y/n) [y]: y
    Writing Oracle ASM library driver configuration: [  OK  ]
    Scanning system for ASM disks: [  OK  ]
    # /etc/init.d/oracleasm enable
    Create ASM disks as desired utilizing command:
    # /etc/init.d/oracleasm createdisk VLM0X /dev/sdx
    Tune /etc/sysctl.conf,/etc/security/limits.conf,/etc/pam.d/login, /etc/profile.
    and oracle's shell environment as advised in [1].
    Login as oracle:-
    $ cd /tmp/database
    $./runInstaller
    OTN instructions:-
    It’s recommended that you install Automatic Storage Management in its own Oracle home, regardless of whether you plan to only have one or multiple database instances.Installing Automatic Storage Management in its own Oracle home helps ensure higher availability and manageability.With separate Oracle homes, you can upgrade Automatic Storage Management and databases independently, and you can remove database software without impacting the Automatic Storage Management instance. Ensure that the Automatic Storage Management version is the same or later than the Oracle Database version.If an Automatic Storage Management installation does not already exist and you select the Oracle Universal Installer option to install and configure Automatic Storage Management only, then Oracle Universal Installer installs Automatic Storage Management in its own Oracle home.
    OTN instruction ends.
    Select " Advanced installation" and
    create ASM instance in $ORACLE_HOME=/u01/app/oracle/oracle/product/10.2.0/db_1
    Create disk group during this run .
    Exit installer.
    $ ./runInstaller
    Select " Advanced installation" and create new ASM-database placed into existing disk's group in $ORACLE_HOME=/u01/app/oracle/oracle/product/10.2.0/db_2 .
    Modify ~oracle/.bash_profile correspondently.Relogin as oracle.
    Next:-

    The target of this message is to highlight the optimal sequence of steps required to bring Oracle10g (10.2.0.1) ASM-database up on CentOS4.1 , placing ASM instance and serviced databases in different Oracle Homes.Oracleasm library install is done immediately after creating "oracle" linux account and "dba" group to be ready for ASM Instance creating during the first Installer run supposed to build it. ASM instance for disks and disk’s group management is created the first by Installer along with the disk’s group for database supposed to be built during the second run of Installer and to be placed into recently created disk’s group.
    I. Oracle 10gR2 ASM and ASMLib 2.0 I/O.
    1.Install CentOS 4.1
    2.Run as root:
    # groupadd dba # group of users to be granted SYSDBA system privilege
    # groupadd oinstall # group owner of Oracle files
    # useradd -c "Oracle software owner" -g oinstall -G dba oracle
    # passwd oracle
    # mkdir -p /u01/app/oracle
    # chown -R oracle.oinstall /u01
    # mkdir -p /u02/oradata/wtfdata
    # chown -R oracle.oinstall /u02
    OTN instruction:-
    Before installing Automatic Storage Management, it is recommended that you install the optional add-on Automatic Storage Management support library, ASMLib. ASMLib is an application program interface (API) Oracle that is aimed at simplifying the interface between the operating system and the database, and to exploit the capabilities and strengths of storage arrays provided by different vendors ASMLib provides an alternative interface for the Automatic Storage Management-enabled kernel to discover and access block devices. It provides storage and operating system vendors the opportunity to supply extended storage-related features. These features provide benefits such as improved performance and greater data integrity.
    OTN instruction ends.
    3.To install ASMLIB 2.0 run as root:-
    # rpm -Uvh oracleasm-2.6.9-11.ELsmp-2.0.0-1.i686.rpm \
    oracleasmlib-2.0.0-1.i386.rpm \
    oracleasm-support-2.0.0-1.i386.rpm
    Now you get /etc/init.d/oracleasm ready to go.
    Configuring the Oracle ASM library driver:-
    # /etc/init.d/oracleasm configure
    Default user to own the driver interface [oracle]: oracle
    Default group to own the driver interface [dba]: dba
    Start Oracle ASM library driver on boot (y/n) [y]: y
    Fix permissions of Oracle ASM disks on boot (y/n) [y]: y
    Writing Oracle ASM library driver configuration: [  OK  ]
    Scanning system for ASM disks: [  OK  ]
    # /etc/init.d/oracleasm enable
    Create ASM disks as desired utilizing command:
    # /etc/init.d/oracleasm createdisk VLM0X /dev/sdx
    Tune /etc/sysctl.conf,/etc/security/limits.conf,/etc/pam.d/login, /etc/profile.
    and oracle's shell environment as advised in [1].
    Login as oracle:-
    $ cd /tmp/database
    $./runInstaller
    OTN instructions:-
    It’s recommended that you install Automatic Storage Management in its own Oracle home, regardless of whether you plan to only have one or multiple database instances.Installing Automatic Storage Management in its own Oracle home helps ensure higher availability and manageability.With separate Oracle homes, you can upgrade Automatic Storage Management and databases independently, and you can remove database software without impacting the Automatic Storage Management instance. Ensure that the Automatic Storage Management version is the same or later than the Oracle Database version.If an Automatic Storage Management installation does not already exist and you select the Oracle Universal Installer option to install and configure Automatic Storage Management only, then Oracle Universal Installer installs Automatic Storage Management in its own Oracle home.
    OTN instruction ends.
    Select " Advanced installation" and
    create ASM instance in $ORACLE_HOME=/u01/app/oracle/oracle/product/10.2.0/db_1
    Create disk group during this run .
    Exit installer.
    $ ./runInstaller
    Select " Advanced installation" and create new ASM-database placed into existing disk's group in $ORACLE_HOME=/u01/app/oracle/oracle/product/10.2.0/db_2 .
    Modify ~oracle/.bash_profile correspondently.Relogin as oracle.
    Next:-
    $ sqlplus /nolog
    SQL> conn / as sysdba
    Connected.
    SQL> shutdown immediate;
    Database closed.
    Database dismounted.
    ORACLE instance shut down.

    Install described above was done with different Oracle Homes
    for ASM instance and ASM-database.
    To put ASM instance and ASM-database in same Oracle Home.
    Start runInstaller just once to build all stuff at a time.
    Login as oracle:-
    $ cd /tmp/database
    $./runInstaller
    Select " Advanced option" and install "Software only"
    in ORACLE_HOME - /u01/app/oracle/oracle/product/10.2.0/db_1.
    Modify oracle's .bash_profile:-
    export ORACLE_HOME and new PATH.
    Source new .bash_profile:-
    $. ~oracle/.bash_profile
    $dbca
    During this run the request to start CRS daemons by root will come up.
    # $ORACLE_HOME/bin/localconfig add
    ASM instance , needed disk's groups and ASM-database itself will be created.
    Then perform listener and local TNS names configuration.
    $netca
    II. Oracle 10gR2 ASM and Standard Linux I/O.
    This method creates Oracle database files on raw character devices managed by ASM using standard Linux I/O system calls.It requires to create RAW devices for all disk partitions used by ASM.
    1.Install CentOS 4.1
    2.Run as root:
    # groupadd dba # group of users to be granted SYSDBA system privilege
    # groupadd oinstall # group owner of Oracle files
    # useradd -c "Oracle software owner" -g oinstall -G dba oracle
    # passwd oracle
    # mkdir -p /u01/app/oracle
    # chown -R oracle.oinstall /u01
    # mkdir -p /u02/oradata/data
    # chown -R oracle.oinstall /u02
    Just as an example create 4 partitions:
    /dev/hda6,/dev/hdc6 5 GB each one
    /dev/hda7,/dev/hdc7 3 GB each one
    Create raw devices modifying file /etc/sysconfig/rawdevices as follows:
    /dev/raw/raw1 /dev/hda6
    /dev/raw/raw2 /dev/hdc6
    /dev/raw/raw3 /dev/hda7
    /dev/raw/raw4 /dev/hdc7
    Put in /etc/rc.d/rc.local
    chown oracle:dba /dev/raw/raw*
    chmod 660 /dev/raw/raw*
    I was experiencing problems with loosing "oracle:dba" permissions after Linux
    reboot. Oracle's raw device came up with "root:disk" ownership after reboot.
    Restart Linux
    Run as root:-
    # service rawdevices restart
    Tune /etc/sysctl.conf,/etc/security/limits.conf,/etc/pam.d/login,
    /etc/profile and oracle's shell environment as advised in [1].
    Login as oracle:-
    $ cd /tmp/database
    $./runInstaller
    Select " Advanced installation" and
    create ASM instance in ORACLE_HOME=/u01/app/oracle/oracle/product/10.2.0/asm
    During this run create diskgroup RAWDATA1 with normal redundancy
    mirroring /dev/raw/raw1 and /dev/raw/raw2.
    You should be fine with discovering raw devices if permissions are in place (oracle:dba)
    Exit installer.
    Export ORACLE_HOME for ASM instance and corresponding PATH.
    Then run "dbca" to create diskgroup RAWDATA2 with
    normal redundancy mirroring /dev/raw/raw3 and /dev/raw/raw4
    $ ./runInstaller
    Select " Advanced installation" and create new ASM-database placed RAWDATA1 diskgroup
    in $ORACLE_HOME=/u01/app/oracle/oracle/product/10.2.0/db_1.
    Modify ~oracle/.bash_profile correspondently.Relogin as oracle.
    Next:-
    $ sqlplus /nolog
    SQL> conn / as sysdba
    Connected.
    SQL> shutdown immediate;

  • Reversal of delivery with handling unit management/HU #

    Hello all,
    I would like to know whether the delivery with handling unit management is reversed using LTOG. if it is reversed using LTOG in which storage type would the stock be posted back and would the packaging material of the handling unit be the same when the delivery is canceled and posted back in stock. pl. advise.
    Thanks,
    Maxx

    Hi Ramana,
    Thanks for your reply.
    in your answer you have said  it is not possible to reverse a TO with HU.
    But is it possible to reverse a delivery where the HUs are created only after packing the delivery items. if it is possible then how the packaging materials in the handling unit that are reversed are handled and where are the stocks that are returned after the delivery is cancelled is posted - i would like to know the standard sap storage type in which the stocks are posted once the delivery is cancelled or reversed.
    Thanks,
    Maxx
