New Non-ASM Standby Trying to use ASM during recovery

Oracle 11.2.0.3 on RH6 x86_64. Cross-posting from oracle-l.
We have a database on ASM. We want to migrate to filesystem storage on same host (Oracle ZFS). Recommended path from Oracle is to create a standby and then do a failover when ready. Simple enough you'd think.
Standby has all reference to ASM diskgroups removed, and convert parameters set appropriately. Take a new backup including archivelogs and also a backup standby controlfile. The "duplicate target database for standby" performs the restore phase perfectly fine. When the media recovery phase starts, I see it tries to mount the diskgroup that the primary uses for ASM. However it fails to do so (plenty of errors to alert log), then recovery fails and the instance is left in mount mode. Subsequent attempt to run "recover database" or even "crosscheck archivelog all" run into the same ASM errors.
The one odd thing I see is the reference to the srvctl resource name for that diskgroup:
Mon Aug 19 10:41:35 2013
ERROR: failed to establish dependency between database prod_zfs and diskgroup resource ora.FRA.dg
However I never registered prod_zfs in srvctl, and it still isn't listed when I run "srvctl config database".
There are no references to ASM paths in the standby v$logfile, v$datafie, v$tempfile or v$archived_log. Created a trace controlfile and the ASM paths it uses are for logfiles and datafiles which are successfully restored on disk and renamed in the controlfile.
Wondering if any of you have seen this.

Here's an example of what I can reproduce 100%of the time:

Log transport failing to standby host , target using ASM.

Hi,
Please help me in the following scenario. I have two nodes ASM1 & ASM2 with RHEL4 U5 OS. On node ASM1 there is database ORCL using ASM diskgroups DATA & RECOVER and archive location is on '+RECOVER/orcl/'. On ASM2 node, I have to configure STDBYORCL (standby) database without ASM (i.e. on FS). I have taken the copy of database ORCL via RMAN, using following command:
run{
copy datafile 1 to '/opt/oracle/admin/df1.dbf';
copy datafile 2 to '/opt/oracle/admin/df2.dbf';
copy datafile 3 to '/opt/oracle/admin/df3.dbf';
copy datafile 4 to '/opt/oracle/admin/df4.dbf';
copy current controlfile for standby to '/opt/oracle/admin/stdbyorcl_control01.ctl'
Then I have ftp'd all to ASM2 and put them on FS /u01/oradata. Have made all necessary changes in primary and standby database pfile and then mount the standby database and put it in managed recovery mode. Unfortunately, log transport service is not working and archives are not getting shipped to standby host.
Here are all configuration details.

As Anvar said, check your primary db's alert log what error message you get...
I am wondering you need this in your standby parameter file?..

New IPOD - error message trying to use with itunes

Hi
Please can someone help. I just bought an IPod with Video but I cant even get any of the songs in my itunes library synched onto it. When I click on autosync I get the following error message
The IPOD "IPOD" cannot be used because it requires itunes version 7 or later.
It then tells me to go to www.itunes.com to download the latest version or itunes or install it from the CD that came with my ipod.
I have been back to the website and have tried reinstalling Itunes 7.02 but I still get the error message. When I right click on the autosynch button it tells me Internet explorer has encountered a problem and has to close...My Ipod was bought brand new via Amazon and didnt come with any disk....
I've followed the scant instructions and Im pretty computer literate so I dont know whats going on here but I dont seem to be able to get past this basic stage . Meanwhile my ipod is stuck on Do not Disconnect. What do I do. ? I seem to have itunes all set up and my WMA existing files converted and visible in my library. I even bought a new song to see if I could sync that but I get the same error message.. Please help....

When you plug in the iPod does it show up in iTunes before you get the message about needing iTunes7? Or do you get that message after plugging it in before it shows up in iTunes?

ITunes will not accept a new credit card Im trying to use and it's valid with money

I keep trying to put new credit card on iTunes and it tells me "card not valid" or "invalid security code". What do I do?

have exactly the same problem. i use virtual visa cards (mbnet.pt), issued by my bank (and that are tied to my bank account), and now itunes is also saying that i cannot add more cards. contaced costumer support, and they said the same, to go and buy gift cards (even though they're not sold in my country) or make a new account (losing all my previously purchades apps). So now basically im left with an account that cant buy stuff.
this is beyond crazy. ive been told by my friends that they thought that the limit was 5 cards every 30 days, but now costumer support says its forever. what?
also, im pretty sure that i only changed card 3 times the last month, and +1 time a couple of months before.
man, talk about a crazy limitation. i too dont know what to do now. one thing im sure, and that is i will never again buy anything from apple again if this doesnt get solved the "good" way. man, i just want them to AT LEAST allow me to add a "clickandbuy" account, but all i get is an error saying that ive added to many cards.

Just Bought New Internal HD and Trying to Use CCC

I just recently had bought a new Seagate 500gb 7200 HD. I have it already installed in the enclosure and hooked up to my computer via firewire 800 and already have Carbon Copy Cloner installed and working as well. When I go to use CCC the drive doesn't show up. I guess that means I have to format first right?
In the device manager window that comes up when you choose to initalize, I chose the drive and then I went to partition and then did the drop down to 1 partition. Then under options, you can choose a partition scheme, so I read all 3 options. The default selection is "Apple Partition Map" but it seems like I should choose the first one listed which is "GUID partition Table".
Which one am I supposed to go with?
Also is there any other things I have to select or do after that to clone the drive?

Also after I completed the clone I then attempted to do the boot from the external enclosure and I held the option key until the choice came up to choose between drives. I chose the external and it booted up fine, but it doesn't show that you have booted up the external it was like it booted up from the internal still. I mean I'm saying this because I did "Apple I" on the HD Icon and it showed the internal info. But wait I guess that's right, correct? I mean it booted up fine and I'm writing this reply now.....

Just bought a new iMac G5 and trying to use iMovie.

Hi,
I just bought my first Mac computer a week ago, but i'm having a little trouble using iMovieHD - with the latest update, but i'm having trouble importing an mpeg2 in so that I can edit and do other things with it. I did purchase the mpeg2 componet from Apple, so it does play with Quicktime - also, when I go to import it - the import box comes down, and then goes right back up dissapears - the first time it said "Quicktime couldn't parse it" - whatever that means. Can iMovie not import mpeg2's? or am I doing something wrong? also, when I go to create a project - should I choose "dv" video type?

thanks! I just found that application. it's working fine now - but it made my clip into a widescreen clip - I chose "DV" when I started iMovie - also, I chose "DV" to convert the mpeg2 - maybe that had something to do with it?
in any case, thanks!

Error while trying to use BFILENAME during schema registration

Hi,
I'm having difficulty in understanding the BFILENAME function while trying to register a schema. The schema is physically present in the following location
USERNAME: WEBUSER
LOCATION: XML Schemas ---> MyHeaderSchema.xsd
And I'm trying to register it as follows:
declare
V_XML_SCHEMA XMLTYPE := XMLType(BFILENAME('WEBUSER','MyHeaderSchema.xsd'),nls_charset_id('AL32UTF8'));
begin
DBMS_XMLSCHEMA.registerSchema
SCHEMAURL => 'http://my.schemas.com/header.xsd',
SCHEMADOC => V_XML_SCHEMA,
LOCAL => TRUE,
GENBEAN => FALSE,
GENTYPES => TRUE,
GENTABLES => FALSE,
ENABLEHIERARCHY => DBMS_XMLSCHEMA.ENABLE_HIERARCHY_NONE
end;
I get the error:
Error report:
ORA-22285: non-existent directory or file for FILEOPEN operation
ORA-06512: at "SYS.XMLTYPE", line 296
ORA-06512: at line 2

*Cause: Attempted to access a directory that does not exist, or attempted

*Action: Ensure that a system object corresponding to the specified

Can you please help?

I was curious if there was already some functionality in SQL Developer I might have missed. So I checked. Apparently SQL Developer still doesn't have any functionality to support XML Schema's in / for XMLDB (I keep them asking, but anyway).
So an XML Schema is just treated as plain text. Still.
However, the following worked for me. Is there a difference if I use XDBURIType Vs BFILENAME and do a getBLOB() Vs XMLType?XDBUriType is part of the URIType factory functionality and in this case, XDBUritype enables you to get the content stored out of the XDB Repository
BFileName give you the possibility to get your content from the server via a BFile locator construct
getBLOB is an operator on xdburitype and converts the uritype datatype into binary LOB datatype
XMLType is the datatype that should be used for XML content
If you use GENTYPES => TRUE then during registration via using DBMS_XMLSCHEMA objects and types will be created to "represent" the "format" of the XML defined by the XML Schema.

Can't create database using ASM (SOLVED)

Hi all
I'm trying to use ASM for the first time, on Oracle 10.2.0.1 on Solaris x64.
I have installed the ASM instance into /opt/oracle/asm/10.2.0 and created disk groups. I have cssd running OK. I am able to start and stop the ASM instance without problems, and I can select from v$asm_diskgroup to confirm that disks are mounted OK.
I have then installed Oracle EE separately into /opt/oracle/server/10.2.0. I first did a software only install, and now I am trying to create a DB.
The problems come when I try to use this ASM instance to host a new database. I first tried to use DBCA to create a new database, but on database creation I got the following errors:
ORA-00200: control file could not be created
ORA-00202: control file: '+DBLIVE1'
ORA-17502: ksfdcre:4 Failed to create file +DBLIVE1
ORA-15001: diskgroup "DBLIVE1" does not exist or is not mounted
ORA-15055: Message 15055 not found; No message file for product=RDBMS, facility=ORA
ORA-01031: insufficient privileges
I then told DBCA just to create the DB creation scripts, and I tried manually running these with SQL*Plus.
When doing it with SQL*PLus, I initially got the same error as shown above. But then something changed (sorry, not sure what), and now the error I get is:
CREATE DATABASE "NEONREL1"
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-01501: CREATE DATABASE failed
ORA-00349: failure obtaining block size for '+DBLIVE1'
ORA-01031: insufficient privileges
I've put some debug info below, showing me succesfully connecting to the ASM instance and then attempting to create the DB using the db creation scripts, showing the error at the end. You can see that the oracle OS user is able to connect fine to ASM, then I swithc ORACLE_SID and ORACLE_HOME to the EE install and try to create the DB, at which point it apparently can't connect to ASM any more.
I've tried the DB creation many times, and in between attempts I completely empty $ORACLE_HOME/admin/<dbname> and delete the files related to the attempted install from $ORACLE_HOME/dbs/ . I've also stopping/starting ASM, rebooting, and I've done the install of ASM and EE a couple of times over in case I made any mistakes in my earlier attempts.
Any help would be much appreciated!

Update: I've worked out the difference between the two sets of errors I get.
The basic error is this:
ORA-00200: control file could not be created
ORA-00202: control file: '+DBLIVE1'
ORA-17502: ksfdcre:4 Failed to create file +DBLIVE1
ORA-15001: diskgroup "DBLIVE1" does not exist or is not mounted
ORA-15055: Message 15055 not found; No message file for product=RDBMS, facility=ORA
ORA-01031: insufficient privileges
However if my init.ora contains the line:
control_files=/opt/oracle/server/10.2.0/dbs/cntrlNEONREL1.dbf
then I instead get the second error:
CREATE DATABASE "NEONREL1"
ERROR at line 1:

ORA-01031: insufficient privileges
So basically these must be the same error, just in the second case I'm not trying to put the control file on the ASM so it fails at a different point.
But both errors must be because of the same cause, I suppose.

Old non-CSS site. Problems using CSS now.

I have a site that was built with GoLive years ago. It has
TONS of e-commerce form/store stuff on most of the pages. I quit GL
a few years ago and moved all my sites over to DW CS3. It wasn't
super smooth, but I eventually got it setup as a DW site and went
on with it.
Then CSS came in, and I learned how to build sites with it.
My problem is that this old site (www.webriggingsupply.com) is a
mess of inconsistency with fonts, font sizes, etc. On a page,
within one table of store data, there might be 2 different fonts,
and 3 sizes, when all should be the same font/size.
Due to the sheer number of pages and tables, there is simply
no way I can start over with a new site.
I tried to use CSS to style the new site, but the old
attributes are still in place.
Any suggestions? I could copy/paste a page into a new site,
but how do I strip out all the old font formatting? I tried it, and
it comes in the new site just like the old site? I'm
stuck!!!

To remote deprecated code and other tags from legacy sites, I
use a handy
little extension called Tag Stripper 2.1 which runs from the
Command menu in
DW.
It quickly removes unwanted <tables>, <fonts> and
other tags in one pass...
You can download it here (scroll down; it's 3rd from the
bottom):

Windows Update no longer works after using Lenovo Enhanced Recovery

Using the system recovery backup disk I created when I first got my T500, I performed a recovery to a new larger HD that I'm upgrading to.
All went well, windows booted up and I got the "Starting Windows for the first time" message and then I went through the setup wizard... Did everything like I did when first got the T500. Windows 7 activation was successful
Now here's the rub, I tried to use Windows Update retrieve all of the updates released since April when my laptop was built. Windows Update flat out refuses to work. I keep getting a pop-up box saying "windows Update cannot currently check for updates, because the service is not running. You may need to start your computer".
I checked the Windows Update service, it's running. I've gone into the windows folder and deleted the software distribution folder as instructed by Microsoft support. They wanted me to also download and install a "CheckSUR" tool from their support website, but the install falls with a a pop-up from Windows Update Standalone Installer with an error: 0xc8000247.
Now this is all on the new HD, when I swap the older on back in there is no problem getting the updates.
I'm stuck, has anyone encountered this type of thing with Windows Update?

I executed the "fixit" in both modes at http://support.microsoft.com/kb/971058
Windows update still refuses to work. All pertinent services are running.
Since this is an attempt at installing a larger hd, I swapped back to the original drive and verified that windows update has no problems when running on the original HD.
I've now started again from scratch.
I put the new larger HD in a SATA/USB HD docking station that I just bought. I formatted the new HD clean, then instead of using the factory recovery disks like I did before, I used Acronis True Image, which I downloaded from the Western Digital support webpage, to clone the original HD over to the new one.
I powered off the laptop, pulled the original HD out and put the new HD in , unplugged the now empty SATA/USB HD docking station, booted up, windows starts and comes up with all looking fine, except... again, windows update still refuses to work.
I went back to the Microsoft website above, ran the fixit action in aggressive mode, and windows updates still gets the same result... When I open windows update in control panel, Windows Update is in red. When I check for updates, I get the pop-up saying "Windows Update cannot currently check for updates, because the service is not running. You may need to restart your computer".
A check of services shows that Windows Update, Cryptographic Service and Background Intelligent Transfer Service are all started.
This is really frustrating... this should be a simple HD upgrade. It appears that with whatever means that is used to copy or place an image of the original HD on the new HD, Windows 7 is not going to let me use update on the new drive.

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.

Can Grid Control 10gR2 create a standby database when primary db uses ASM?

Does anyone know if Grid Control 10gR2 will be able to create a standby database when the primary database uses ASM for data files, redo log files, and archive log files but the standby database will use mounted disks? If it can, would it matter that the primary db will be a RAC cluster and the standby will be a single instance db?

I appreciate your reply and hope you are correct. Have you had a look at the 10gR2 Grid Control to confirm this or are you only going on published statements? The reason I ask is because previous versions of Grid Control claimed to support ASM but they would only allow you to work with them AFTER you had created a standby database manually but you couldn't actually use Grid Control to create a standby database from a primary database that had its log files on ASM disks.

11g r2 non rac using asm for sun cluster os (two node but non-rac)

I am going to install grid installation for non-rac using asm for two node sun cluster environment..
How to create candidate disk in solaris cluster (sparc os) to install grid home in asm.. please provide me the steps if anyone knows

Please refer the thread Re: 11GR2 ASM in non-rac node not starting... failing with error ORA-29701

Using ASM in a cluster, and new snapshot feature

Hi,
I'm currently studying ASM and trying to find some answers.
From what I understand and experienced so far, ASM can only be used as a local storage solution. In other words it cannot be used by network access. Is this correct?
How is the RDBMS database connecting to the ASM instance? Which process or what type of connection is it using? It's apparently not using listener, although the instance name is part of the database file path. How does this work please?
How does ASM work in a cluster environment? How does each node in a cluster connect to it?
As of 11g release 2, ASM provides a snapshot feature. I assume this can be used for the purpose of backup, but then each database should use it's own diskgroup, and I will still need to use alter database begin backup, correct?
Thanks!

Is this correct?Well, you are missing one point that it would entirely depend on the architecture that you are going to use. If you are going to use ASM for a single node, it would be available right there. If installed for a RAC system, ASM instance would be running on each node of the cluster and would be managing the storage which would be lying on the shared storage. The process ASMB would be responsible to exchange messages, take response and push the information back to the RDBMS instance.
How is the RDBMS database connecting to the ASM instance? Which process or what type of connection is it using? It's apparently not using listener, although the instance name is part of the database file path. How does this work please?Listener is not need Markus as its required to create the server processes which is NOT the job of the ASM instance. ASM instance would be connecting the client database with itself immediately when the first request would come from that database to do any operation over the disk group. As I mentioned above, ASMB would be working afterwards to carry forward the request/response tasks.
How does ASM work in a cluster environment? How does each node in a cluster connect to it? Each node would be having its own ASM instance running locally to it. In the case of RAC, ASM sid would be +ASMn where n would be 1, 2,... , going forward to the number of nodes being a part of teh cluster.
As of 11g release 2, ASM provides a snapshot feature. I assume this can be used for the purpose of backup, but then each database should use it's own diskgroup, and I will still need to use alter database begin backup, correct?You are probably talking about the ACFS Snapshot feature of 11.2 ASM. This is not to take the backup of the disk group but its like a o/s level backup of the mount point which is created over the ASM's ACFS mount point. Oracle has given this feature so that you can take the backup of your oracle home running on the ACFS mount point and in the case of any o/s level failure like someone has deleted certain folder from that mountpoint, you can get it back through the ACFS snapshot taken. For the disk group, the only backup available is metadata backup(and restore) but that also does NOT get the data of the database back for you. For the database level backup, you would stillneed to use RMAN only.
