Acutally we don't have any diskgroup in the name of II368_REDOGROUP01,II368_ARCHGROUP01.
These two groups related to production.Every month we refresh the db from production to Test.
Any suggestions.
Thanks

Can you check what is the value set for the parameter "asm_diskstring"
Post the outcome of
sql>show parameter asm_diskNormally, if the disks were created using ASMLIB, then check out the location of the ASM disks at the location "/dev/oracleasm/disks" and if the disks are present at this location, then set the parameter "asm_diskstring" to the above path. The default value of this parameter is "ORCL:*"
asm_diskstring=/dev/oracleasm/disks

Problem with ORA-15063

Hi,
I've installed Oracle RAC (10g) on Centos 5.3 But after restart system, I can't mount ASM disk on second instance. During mounting I have such errors:
ORA-15032: not all alterations performed
ORA-15063: ASM discovered an insufficient number of disks for diskgroup "DG1"
I found this tutorial http://askdba.org/weblog/?p=104, but I don't really know if my parameters are set correctly... Could anyone help me and explain what is wrong with my database? Screen from my architecture below:

Hi,
ORA-15063:
     ASM discovered an insufficient number of disks for diskgroup "string"
Cause:      ASM was unable to find a sufficient number of disks belonging to the diskgroup to continue the operation.
Action:      Check that the disks in the diskgroup are present and functioning, that the owner of the ORACLE binary has read/write permission to the disks, and that the ASM_DISKSTRING initialization parameter has been set correctly. Verify that ASM discovers the appropriate disks by querying V$ASM_DISK from the ASM instance.
And there is possible solution

ORA-15063: ASM discovered an insufficient number of disks for diskgroup

Hello DBAs,
I have encountered this problem. I am using storage vendor snapshot capability. On my first node, I have 2 disks for ASM diskgroups. ORCL:DATA belongs to DATA diskgroup and ORCL:FLASH belongs to FLASH diskgroup. After making the snapshots of these two disks, I mapped them to my second host which already has ASM instance. I ran /etc/init.d/oracleasm scandisk and listdisks I see two disks. But when I start up ASM instance I get this error:
SQL> startup
ASM instance started
Total System Global Area 130023424 bytes
Fixed Size 2019032 bytes
Variable Size 102838568 bytes
ASM Cache 25165824 bytes
ORA-15032: not all alterations performed
ORA-15063: ASM discovered an insufficient number of disks for diskgroup "FLASH"
ORA-15063: ASM discovered an insufficient number of disks for diskgroup "DATA"
Of course, I have the asm_diskstring and asm_diskgroups parameter set in my init+ASM.ora file. The ASM version is identical across both hosts. I guess my question would be, is it possible to do this? Do I need to re-create the ASM disks using /etc/init.d/oracleasm? Any help is much appreciated.
Thanks,
TD

What is your configuration?
If you have AIX and EMC san, then refer to this metalink note: 467702.1
In my case, it was HP-UX and HP san EVA8200. But our problem was two different disks were presented to the two nodes, with same names by the unix admin/san admin guys.
Before they could figure out the problem, I had done a lot of research for few days to figure this out. Another problem I noticed in some cases was improper permissions. Either the db software owner didn't have permissions to the asm disks, or if the owner of both software was same, then the actual permissions/ownership of the shared raw devices was different on the two nodes.
Hope this helps. And I will appreciate once you fix the problem if you can also update this forum with your solution. That will help the community in future.
Thanks

ORA-15063: ASM discovered an insufficient number of disks for diskgroup "DB

Dear All,
we are moved our storage from hitachi to EMC . after come to emc no issue.
But few day before we are try to use old hitachi storage for our T&D,the same storage mounted in new server.
After that we are try to start the asm but it disk group not mounted .
It show following error....
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-15032: not all alterations performed
ORA-15063: ASM discovered an insufficient number of disks for diskgroup "DB01"
1) we are checked the 52 raw devices have oracle:dba permission we are verified.
2) all raw device can be viewed in v$asm_disk and state is normal.
3) we are tried asm_diskstring=* also
4) even it show same error.
1) My doubt is the asm meta data may be not correct how can i verifiy the the asm metadata and how can i resolve this asm error.
2) If i drop this asm diskgroup and recreate in same name and add all 52 disk to the group the data will be loss or not?
Thanks&regards
SS.vijaibabu

1) My doubt is the asm meta data may be not correct how can i verifiy the the asm metadata and how can i resolve this asm error.Asm metadata will get stored in asm_disks it's self. we cannot retrieve metadata unless you mount the diskgroup.Most probably these would be permission related of disks.
any pointings to alert log Errors of this operation.
>2) If i drop this asm diskgroup and recreate in same name and add all 52 disk to the group the data will be loss or not?
The header status of disks changes to FORMER ,once we fire drop on it.we cannot get back the data becase asm will format the disk after dropping.

I have an ASM group dg1.
I mount the diskgroup on node1. No issue.
I dismount the diskgroup and try to mount it on node2.
I get the following errors:
ORA-15032: not all alterations performed
ORA-15017: diskgroup "DG1" cannot be mounted
ORA-15063: ASM discovered an insufficient number of disks for diskgroup "DG1"
If I wait 15-20 seconds and try again there are no problems.
Any idea what it can be?
Thanks in advance for any clues!

Hello Fred,
Did it happened only at startup?
When you try mount, the disks of DG are visible to second node?
Please provide more info about your env, EMC, NetApp, etc.

ORA-15063: ASM discovered an insufficient number of disks for diskgroup "LO

After a reboot of the server, 3 of the 4 diskgroups mounted.
The one that did not mount contained my redo logs and controlfiles.
Select * from v$asm_disk does not show anything related to this diskgroup.
select * from v$asm_diskgroup does not show anything related to this diskgroup.
I can't start my databases.
oracleasm listdisk does not show my two "missing" disks.
oracleasm scandisk and then listdisk does not show the missing disks.
kfed shows these are part of the "LOG" group.
How do I get these back? I can't afford to lose the data that is on them.
Thanks

We rebooted numerous times and at one point had to unmount one of our ocfs2 file systems, so the /var/log/messages is full of entries for the past two days.
Is there anything specific I should be looking for in there?
you mentioned "recover the volume"....so do you think it's a problem on the san? how would you recover a volume?

Installation of Oracle Database 11g R2 Grid is failing

Hi Guys,
I've been trying to install Oracle Grid Infrastructure 11g R2 (11.2.0.2) for a long time, but, failing every time. This is what I've tried so far:
Things being used:
OS: Oracle Enterprise Linux 5.2
VM Software: VMware Workstation 7.1 and VMware Server 2
Oracle SW: Oracle Grid Infrastructure 11g R2 - 11.2.0.2
VMs: Three RAC nodes - rac1, rac2, rac3
I've tried to follow the link given below to on both VMware Server and VMware Workstation all goes well until it asks us to run two scripts as root.
http://www.oracle-base.com/articles/11g/OracleDB11gR2RACInstallationOnOEL5UsingVMwareServer2.php
The script "/u01/app/grid/11.2.0/root.sh" completes successfully on the first node, rac1, however, it fails on the rest of them with the following error:
CRS-4402: The CSS daemon was started in exclusive mode but found an active CSS daemon on node rac1, number 1, and is terminating
An active cluster was found during exclusive startup, restarting to join the cluster
Start of resource "ora.crsd" failed
CRS-2800: Cannot start resource 'ora.asm' as it is already in the INTERMEDIATE state on server 'rac2'
CRS-4000: Command Start failed, or completed with errors.

Instead of using shared disk as "independent-persistent" disks I've also used openfiler 2.99 to allocate storage by following below given link. With that the issue was that the iSCSI disks were not persistent and no solution worked to fix that.
http://www.jobacle.nl/?p=957
I also tried to use OCFS2 for OCR and VOTING disks, the installation completes successfully, however, the asm instance, registry, and few other services doesn't start. When I tried to reboot all the machines not a single oracle service came up. The crs just died because of OCR and VOTING disks.
I've tried so many things but nothing works.
My last installation was as follows:
==============================

Pre-requisites completed.
ASM Disks labeled.
runcluvfy succeeds for all nodes
All nodes can see and write to the ASM disks.During the installation of GI 11.2.0.2 at prerequisites test got one error:
PRVF-5449 : Check of Voting Disk location "ORCL:(ORCL:)" failed
However, according to Metalink, note ID 1267569.1, its a bug and its going to be fixed in 11.2.0.3. The note gives a workaround which is the manual testing of the ASM disks from all the nodes and as long it succeeds we can ignore the error. Therefore, I just ignored the error and carried on. When prompted I executed the first script, "/u01/app/oraInventory/orainstRoot.sh ", on all the nodes successfully. The second script, "/u01/app/grid/11.2.0/root.sh" completes successfully on rac1, however, fails on the rest of the nodes.
On rac2 the alertrac2.log contains the following errors:
CRS-5019:All OCR locations are on ASM disk groups [OCRVOT], and none of these disk groups are mounted. Details are at "(:CLSN00100:)" in "/u01/app/grid/11.2.0/log/rac2/agent/ohasd/oraagent_oracle/oraagent_oracle.log".and oraagent_oracle.log contains the following errors:

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
Still miss those days when Oracle used to release easy to use and easy to install softwares, but now thats not the case. Grid Infrastructure, Grid Control, and other similar technologies have become so complicated and difficult for us to install on VMs and play with them.

Updates:
Metalink doc, Oracle Grid Infrastructure 11.2.0.2 Installation or Upgrade may fail due to Multicasting Requirement [ID 1212703.1], shows similar errors that I've in my log files. Therefore, I thought Multicast could be the culprit. Nonetheless:

Hence, the issue is not multicast related.

THE ISSUE HAS BEEN RESOLVED!
With the same configuration the installation completed successfully on Oracle's Virtual Box. I had a lot of issues while installing Grid Control 11g on VMware, but, that got installed successfully as well on the Virtual Box.
Hence proved, VMware is no good for Oracle virtualization any more.
Hi,
Good if you have it resolved. Now could you please mark the thread as answered to avoid confusion
Cheers

ASM instance wont mount diskgroup..

HI, I have 10g release 2 installed on CENTOS 4.4, I use ASM striping with with 4 raw disks.
I had a system crash due to a power failure and now the the ASM wont mount the diskgroup.
export $ORACLE_HOME=+ASM
SQL> startup mount;
ASM instance started
Total System Global Area 130023424 bytes
Fixed Size 2071000 bytes
Variable Size 102786600 bytes

ORA-15110: no diskgroups mounted
SQL> alter diskgroup RESEARCH1 mount;
alter diskgroup RESEARCH1 mount
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-15032: not all alterations performed
ORA-15063: ASM discovered an insufficient number of disks for diskgroup
"RESEARCH1"
now when I use /etc/init.d/oracleasm listdisks I can see all my disks:
DISK1
DISK2
DISK3
DISK4
then i tried to change asm_diskstring to point the mounting point, here is my ora file:
*.asm_diskgroups='RESEARCH1'
+ASM.asm_diskgroups='RESEARCH1' #Manual Dismount
*.asm_diskstring='/dev/oracleasm/disks'
*.background_dump_dest='/home/oracle/product/10.2.0/db_1/admin/+ASM/bdump'

*.large_pool_size=12M
*.remote_login_passwordfile='EXCLUSIVE'
*.user_dump_dest='/home/oracle/product/10.2.0/db_1/admin/+ASM/udump'
any ideas?
Thanks
Assaf

Hi,
by oracleasm lib utility you can configure as below
# /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
Thanks

ASM timeout parameters?

Oracle: 11.2.0.3 non-RAC (Oracle Restart grid home)
OS: RHEL Server 5.8
Can timeout parameters be set for an ASM instance or for any downstream database instances dependent on an ASM instance? Our storage and sysadmins ran a test (failing over a controller). The Oracle database instance detected a problem reaching +FLASHREC on the NetApp device (it was trying to access a control file evidently). Approximately one second later the database instance decided to terminate itself. The ASM instance remained up. But subsequent checking with ASMCD showed no ASM Diskgroup available using an LS command. After bouncing the ASM instance all was well--the diskgroups reappeared and we were able to restart our database instance. A second seems a bit unforgiving. Can any timeout-related parameters be set on the ASM or ASM-client instance to provide more wiggle room during a controller failover?
Some errors we encountered from the database instance alert log. Further below are errors from the ASM instance's alert log

Thanks Dan. The server had been built recently but not yet released. Testing was uncoordinated but no permanent harm was done. Great group of people and NetApp is new to them. Glad they are testing things like controller failover. But it sounds like ASM may be a victim and not the culprit. If ASM remains suspect during continued failover testing I'll consider opening an SR like you suggested.

Oracle Metalink solution was to
1) Drop and recreate the raw devices.
Note: Recreate the raw devices is required in order to remove completely the ASM metadata.
dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/rdsk/<device_name> bs=1024 count=100
dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/rdsk/<device_name> bs=8192 count=2560
But this did not fix this issue. Any Thoughts
Thanks

Question on raw device names in Solaris

DB Version :11G Release 2
OS : Solaris 5.10 (AMD x86)
Number of Nodes:2
I've finished installing Grid infrastructure and RDBMS software. I have invoked ASCMA (GUI) to create disk groups. ASMCA has succesfully listed the Disk group i've created for OCR and Voting Disk during Grid Installation. Now it is time to create the Disk group for Datafiles.
Storage Admins have given us a shared Slice of 700GB for this test installation.
This slice seen from Node1:
/dev/rdsk/c3t400A0B800047D3M3210s3The same slice seen from Node2
/dev/rdsk/c1t400A0B800038A4CA0050s3From Google and OTN, If i understand correctly, you need a 'multi-pathing disk driver' to make these slices appear with one name. I don't think we have this in our site.
Invoking ASMCA gui from Node1, I've just succesfully created a Disk group called DG1 from the 700 GB slice mentioned above. But, how will i let Node2 know that the slice which DG1 is made of (c3t800A0B800047D3M3210s3 when seen from Node1) is acutually the same 700 GB slice known to Node2 as
c1t400A0B800038A4CA0050s3?
Should i invoke ASMCA from node2 and do something to let node2 know about this? I can set
ASM_DISKSTRING=/dev/rdsk/c1*from Node2's ASM instance. But there other slices appearing in Node2 starting with
c1*How will Node2 correctly discover the 700 gb c1****s3 shared slice meant for this RAC installation? What is point of setting ASM_DISSTRING anyway? I mean, we might be able to get node2 slice names on ASMCA's list. But, it is the same slice appearing as a different name. So , there is no point in ticking (the check box in GUI) it anyway.
Should i do nothing and continue with installation?

Thank you Srikanth. I invoked asmca. Both ASM instances are up.
Under ASM instances Tab
Status ====> 'UP' for both nodes
ADVM Driver status ====> 'Loaded' for both
Under Disk groups tab
Disk group for OCR and VOTE's status is 'MOUNTED (2 Of 2)'
Disk group for Datafiles' status is 'MOUNTED (1 of 2)'
I cliked 'Mount All' button. But got the error
ORA-15017: diskgroup "DG1" cannot be mounted
ORA-15063: ASM discovered an insufficient number of disks for diskgroup "DG1"
CRS-2674: Start of ora.DG1.dg on node2name failedNode2 recognizes OCR Disk group though. But it doesn't recognise the Disk group DG1 created for Datafiles
