OCR/Votting disk change location

Hi,
I need to move my 2 nodes RAC (Solaris 10 / Oracle 10g (10.2.0.3)) to a new data center.
My OCR and Votting disks are on a SAN (x) and on the new datacenter I want to put them on a new SAN (y).
How can I perform this server movement without losing the current RAC/Clusterware configuration?
I was planning to do the following:
- Backup current databases
- Backup spfile
- Backup Diskgroups/ASM configuration
- Delete databases
- Delete Diskgroups/ASM
- Shutdown CRS (crsctl stop crs)
- Backup OCR disks (ocrconfig -export export_filename)
- Backup Votting disks (dd if=voting_disk_name of=backup_file_name)
- Turn off the servers
- Move them to the new Datacenter
- Attch the new SAN
- Restore Votting disks (dd if=backup_file_name of=voting_disk_name)
- Restore OCR disks ( ocrconfig -import export_filename)
- Then recreate Diskgroups/ASM
- Restore databases
Is this the right procedure/commands to accomplish it without losing the RAC configuration?
I am trying to avoid rebuilding the whole RAC from scratch.
Thanks,
AShum

I forgot to mention that there is no connection between the old and new datacenter. If there would, I would just present the new SAN space from the new datacenter to the old one, so I can just add the new OCR/Votting disk to the current ones (mirror) and then remove the old disks.
Same for the ASM and databases, but unfortunally, there is no connection between this two datacenter.
It is like moving the servers from one state to another.
Thanks,

OCR Vote Disk got corrupted

hi friends
i am curious to know what will happen to the database if ocr/votedisk either of them or both of them got corrupted.
I hope it will still run as a standalone database.........am i coorect.
Thanks you all

E.g. if you simple use a cluster filesystem, then you just cloud use sqlplus to startup the database.
If you use ASM, then the first task is to startup ASM in single mode via. sqlplus. Depending on the version you are using, this will require a local configuration of ASM (10.2) or a reconfiguration of the clusterware stack to Oracle restart (11.2)...
If you are able to start ASM (the volume manager) then you will be able to startup the database with sqlplus without having the need to have the clusterware running.Incorrect. ASM start needs the CRS daemon to be running. And that daemon will be broken if the voting or OCR disks are unavailable.
There is a very specific s/w stack dependency here. CRS, ASM and then RAC (though with 11.2 CRS and ASM are now interdependent). No OCR or voting disk? No ASM. No ASM? No RAC instance.
This means that you will need to start an ASM instance that can use a CRS daemon that can start without a problem - such as from as starting this s/w stack from a non-clustered Oracle Home that does not rely on the OCR and voting disks to be available, in order to satisfy the startup requirements.

Move OCR and Vote Disk to a new SAN

Hi,
Can you guys help me with some links/documents for moving OCR and Vote disk files from old SAN to new SAN.
Both SAN will have ocfs2 formatted 3 partitions on which ocr and votedisk will be placed (normal redundancy).
Oracle version 11g R2,
OS linux 5.5
RAC nodes : 2
Datafiles on ASM
OCR/Votedisk on ocfs2
Regards,
Ajay

Thanks for the reply, but all the examples were showing either ocfs2 to ASM or raw to ocfs2. could you just point out the high level steps for moving 3 ocr & votedisk files from one san to another(ocfs to ocfs).
Hi Ajay,
Steps will be same . It doesnt matter whether it is raw to ocfs2 or ocfs to ocfs.
There will be change only how do you assign storage for OCR/voting disk.
I have another doubt that, i already have 3 ocr files, can i add more ocr files pointing to another mount point? the same goes with votedisk.
You can use replace option so there is no need to add 4th OCR disk.
i found steps in one of the website: i have few doubts in it, could any one clarify it...All the steps seems to be fine.
Moving OCR
1) create mount point(new san - /u05) in all nodes
2) precreate ocr files in new mount points (i am not sure how to do it? is it just touch and filename, its a ocfs2 file system)on ocfs you need to create file as below :
dd if=/dev/zero of=/ocfs/OCR/ocrnew.dbf bs=1M count=128
Also I would suggest to have a look at :

Recover OCR and VOTE disk after complete corruption of ASM disk groups.

Hi Gurus,
I am simulating a recovery situation to perform recover of OCR and Vote files after complete corruption of ASM related disks and diskgroups. I have setup my environment as follows:\
Environment: RAC
OS: OEL 5.5 32-bit
GI Version: 11.2.0.2.0
ASM Disk groups: +OCR, +DATA
OCR, Vote Files location: +OCR
ASM Redundancy: External
ASM Disks: /dev/asm-disk1, /dev/asm-disk2
/dev/asm-disk1 - mapped on +OCR
/dev/asm-disk2 - mapped on +DATA
With the above configuration in place I have manually corrupted +OCR, +DATA diskgroups with dd command. I used this command to completely corrupt +OCR disk group.
dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/asm-disk1. I have manual backups as well as automatic backups of OCR and Vote disk. I am not using ASMLib.
I followed this link:
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E11882_01/rac.112/e17264/adminoc.htm#TDPRC237
When I tried to recover OCR file, I could not do so as there is no such diskgroup which ASM can restore the OCR, Voting disk to. I could not Re-create OCR and DATA diskgroups as I cannot connect to ASM instance. If you have a solution or workaround for my situation please describe it. That will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks and Regards,
Suresh.

Please go through the following document which have the detailed steps to restore the OCR

About OCR and Vote Disk size

Hallo,
I have a simple question about OCR and Vote Disk in a 10g/11g RAC setup:
official documentation speaks about sizing OCR and Vote Disk about 280 MB, but do they mean each OCR and Vote disk LUN ?
In other words, for 2 OCR and 3 Vote disk I need 280*5 MB ( in multiple o single LUN)
Is it so?
thx in advance

OCR and vote disk Allocation for shared raw storage with Solaris 10 questio

Hi all,
Current environment is Solaris 10 SPARC 64 bit OS with Hitachi SAN for shared storage and Sun E6900 servers.
For Oracle 10g RAC (10.2) and ASM, I am setting up the vote disk and OCR files on shared raw storage area network.
Assume that I have a 35Gb LUN carved out on raw device for the vote disk and OCR for a 2-node Oracle 10g RAC cluster and since the vote disk and OCR only require 120MB of storage, is there a way to use only a 120MB slice from the LUN or do I need to allocate the entire LUN/raw device to the vote disk?
I am looking for a way to avoid wasting space for the OCR and vote disk with my 10g RAC cluster and we are using raw devices and Oracle 10g RAC Clusterware with Veritas filesystem for the disk management. Can I have several slices on Solaris 10 with raw shared storage (Hitachi) to triple mirror my OCR and vote disk files?
It seems odd to have to use an entire 35GB LUN just for 2 small files: vote disk and OCR. Is there a way to partition a 120MB slice on one of the devices and allocate the rest to ASM?

Hi
In our RAC env.
we have 1GB LUN for OCR and Voting Disk and 100GB LUN for ASM disk. we have 4 Node RAC env on AIX with 2 SAN storage on Hitachi system for our Application.
we keept 1st Voting diks on SAN-1 2nd Voting Disk on SAN-2 and third voting on SAN-3.
OCR disk on SAN1 and OCR_MIRROR Disk on SAN-2.
we have ASM DIsk with Normal Redundancy . Failure Group 1 on SAN-1 and
Failure Group 2 on SAN-2

Changing location of Iphoto library

I am looking to change my Iphoto library to an external hard drive, as my 250GB internal drive is just not large enough, especially as I am now using itunes to watch movies and TV shows. Is this a simple operation? The help menu has instruction on changing location but I am worried this just refers to a different folder within the internal hard drive.
Anyone got any suggestions

It's very simple.
Make sure the drive is formatted Mac OS Extended (Journaled).
1. Quit iPhoto
2. Copy the iPhoto Library from your Pictures Folder to the External Disk.
3. Hold down the option (or alt) key while launching iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Choose Library' and navigate to the new location. From that point on this will be the default location of your library.
4. Test the library and when you're sure all is well, trash the one on your internal HD to free up space.

Steps to relocate the OCR to a diff location

Hi,
I have a 10gR2 RAC Cluster setup.
I have /dev/sdb1 mounted on /u02/oradata/orcl/, which contains the OCR & Voting Disk.
I wish to migrate the OCR & Voting disk to /dev/sdd.
Plz tell me the steps for the same. Are there any pre-requisites?
Does the migration apply to all nodes? Should I have a cluster filesystem on /dev/sdd?

Your current ocr and vote disk is on cluster file system. So when you are planning to relocate it on new device you need to create cluster file system on that too.Easy way out is to mount new device(/dev/sdd) with existing name(/u02/oradata/orcl) and mount existing device(/dev/sdb1) with some other name(for example /u02/oradata/orclold) and copy ocr and vote disk from existing device to new device.

Restore Vote Disk in 11gr2

Hi,
In 11gR2, Vote Disk and OCR can reside in ASM . A New Feature in 11gR2, Vote Disk auto backup with OCR in one backup file. But if my vote disks failed, how can i restore it. Please guide me how to do ?
Thanks

Restoring Voting Disks
If all of the voting disks are corrupted, then you can restore them, as follows:

Shared partition creation (SAN EVA 4400) for OCR/Vote andASM on linux RHEL5

Hi all,
We are going to install database (Oracle 10g) with RAC on Linux Red Hat Enterprise 5. The storage we are using is SAN shared storage, out SAN vendor has finished to configure and present the dsk storage (500 Gb) to the 2 servers, the name of the volume group is VG_ORADATA. this volume will be used for OCR, VOting disk and ASM (database file).
Our problem is to create and configure the shared partition for the 2 servers.
Here is what i want to do, i want to create:
ocr_partition (25 Gb) : for OCR
vote_partition (25 Gb): for Voting disk
oradata_part1 (150 Gb): for database (ASM)
oradata_part2 (150 Gb): for database (ASM)
oradata_part3 (150 Gb): for database (ASM)
The problem is how to create these partiton an dto mount them for the 2 servers, what is the tools we have to use for this tasks. Can i use LVM (Logical Volume Manager) in linux for this tasks.
Thanks for the help and need your help as it's very urgent for us.
Thank you
Raitsarevo.

My thoughts.
1. Your OCR partition size is too high by several orders of magnitudes. Read the docs and size it appropriately.
2. Your Voting disk partition size is also far too large. Again read the docs and size it appropriately.
3. If you have RAC you have one and only one database (not 3)
4. ASM is not a database and requires no room on your SAN. ASM is an instance that must reside on your servers (nodes).
5. Where are you putting your flashback recovery area, archived redo logs, flashback logs, etc?
6. Where are you putting your online backup files?
7. If you have ASM throw the LVM away. It will do nothing for you other than eat CPU.

Everything works fine, my wifi connection but suddenly in upper left corner sign "no service"appeared. But connection works to Internet, anyway. (I changed location recently from USA to Europe.

Corner sign No service appeared. What that's mean? I am connected , recently changed locations.

Do you have a 3G/4g iPad?
I believe the no service warning is the iPad telling you you are not connected to a cell network.

The storage where the virtual hard disk is located does not support virtual disk sharing

Hi everyone,
I deployed 2 hyper v vitual machines a while ago, and i did that because I needed to test my current game Project, which is an
online game. However, i've had some problems with my Windows installation then I had to reset the pc by making it a refresh
install. I still have the hyper v virtual disks, but i cannot attach it to a new hyper-v virtual machine. it pops up this message:
"the storage
where the virtual hard disk is located does not support virtual disk sharing". I dont know anything about virtual machines, so I
didnt know I had to make the disk sharable. How can I force to attach the hard disk to a new hyper-v? I dont want to go t
hrough the whole proccess of installing the operating system all over again and updating it....
Any help is greatly appreciated!
Thanks in advance,
Romulo Romero

Hi MrDebugging,
>>
When I Try to add a SCSI Controller, and then I click browse to add a UNC I get this:
C:\Users\Public\Documents\Hyper-V\Virtual hard disks\ClienMachine.vhdx
but I tried placing in different location, and the same problem occurs!
By the way, Im not on a server , I am a domestic user and I am running it on my
Windows 8.1
According to the error message , it seems that it is not a permission issue .
The VM is Gen 1 or Gen2 ?
Generally the error message occurs when you enable "shared vhdx" on standalone/client hyper-v host :
Please try to attach the VHDx file to IDE controller if it is a Gen 1 virtual machine (because only the SCSI controller has the option "virtual hard disk sharing" and Gen 1 VM only can boot from IDE )
All in all , please do not use this feature without CSV or Scale-Out File Server with SMB 3.0 on file-based storage .
If it is not the case , please detail steps what you did .
Best Regards,
Elton Ji
