ORA-15072

Hi,
Using 10GR2 on RH4U3 (x86) .
Does anyone knows why this error occur?
I am trying to create a diskgroup without failure DG using hardware redundancy.
Thanks a mil...

ORA-15072 when using external redenacy?

Hello -
I am getting ORA-15072 (command required at least one failure groups) when using external redundancy. I am using asmlib on Linux, and I have a feeling that it it a multipathing issue. Here are the output from some of my commands:
[root@ctolinuxpoc01 init.d]# ./oracleasm listdisks

Why would I be getting ORA-15072 with external redundancy (using asmlib)?
Thanks in andvance!

The header status is showing as "unknown"... Could this be part of the issue?

ORA-15072: command requires at least 2 regular failure groups, discovered only 1

Hi,
I'm trying to create a diskgroup for a temporary purpose. I didnt mention the type of redundancy. When i ran the below command i got the mentioned errors.
SQL> Create diskgroup temp_dg disk '/dev/mapper/003w1_e2p5' attribute 'compatible.asm' = '11.2.0.0.0';
Create diskgroup temp_dg disk '/dev/mapper/003w1_e2p5' attribute 'compatible.asm' = '11.2.0.0.0'

When i used two disks, then diskgroup got created.
All the diskgroups in ASM are of EXTERNAL redundancy.

I would like to know why it was asking to create diskgroup of NORMAL redundancy. Is there some thing like default REDUNDANCY in ASM.
Please share your views.

Hi,
When i used two disks, then diskgroup got created.
Becuase default redundancy for create diskgroup is NORMAL.

Did you sure your diskgroup is created?

11GR2 GRID INFRASTRUCTURE INSTALLATION FAILS WHEN RUNNING ROOT.SH ON NODE 2 OF RAC USING ASMLIB [ID 1059847.1

Hi,
it looks like, that your "shared device" you are using is not really shared.
The second node does "create an ASM diskgroup" and create OCR and Voting disks. If this indeed would be a shared device, he should have recognized, that your disk is shared.
So as a result your VMware configuration must be wrong, and the disk you presented as shared disk is not really shared.
Which VMWare version did you use? It will not work correctly with the workstation or player edition, since shared disks are only really working with the server version.
If you indeed using the server, could you paste your vm configurations?
Furthermore I recommend using Virtual Box. There is a nice how-to:

How do I map Hitachi SAN LUNs to Solaris 10 and Oracle 10g ASM?

Hi all,
I am working on an Oracle 10g RAC and ASM installation with Sun E6900 servers attached to a Hitachi SAN for shared storage with Sun Solaris 10 as the server OS. We are using Oracle 10g Release 2 (10.2.0.3) RAC clusterware
for the clustering software and raw devices for shared storage and Veritas VxFs 4.1 filesystem.
My question is this:
How do I map the raw devices and LUNs on the Hitachi SAN to Solaris 10 OS and Oracle 10g RAC ASM?
I am aware that with an Oracle 10g RAC and ASM instance, one needs to configure the ASM instance initialization parameter file to set the asm_diskstring setting to recognize the LUNs that are presented to the host.
I know that Sun Solaris 10 uses /dev/rdsk/CwTxDySz naming convention at the OS level for disks. However, how would I map this to Oracle 10g ASM settings?
I cannot find this critical piece of information ANYWHERE!!!!
Thanks for your help!

Yes that is correct however due to use of Solaris 10 MPxIO multipathing software that we are using with the Hitachi SAN it does present an extra layer of complexity and issues with ASM configuration. Which means that ASM may get confused when it attempts to find the new LUNs from the Hitachi SAN at the Solaris OS level. Oracle Metalink note 396015.1 states this issue.
So my question is this: how to configure the ASM instance initialization parameter asm_diskstring to recognize the new Hitachi LUNs presented to the Solaris 10 host?
Lets say that I have the following new LUNs:
/dev/rdsk/c7t1d1s6
/dev/rdsk/c7t1d2s6
/dev/rdsk/c7t1d3s6
/dev/rdsk/c7t1d4s6
Would I set the ASM initialization parameter for asm_diskstring to /dev/rdsk/c7t1d*s6
as correct setting so that the ASM instance recognizes my new Hitachi LUNs? Solaris needs to map these LUNs using pseudo devices in the Solaris OS for ASM to recognize the new disks.
How would I set this up in Solaris 10 with Sun multipathing (MPxIO) and Oracle 10g RAC ASM?
I want to get this right to avoid the dreaded ORA-15072 errors when creating a diskgroup with external redundancy for the Oracle 10g RAC ASM installation process.

Error...
DiskGroup OCR creation failed with the following message:
ORA-15018: diskgroup cannot be created
ORA-15072: command requires at least 1 regular failure groups, discovered only 0
I think the issue lies somewhere in my oracleasm OCR disk creation step. The create command during root.sh works when I delete the disk and use oracleasm to recreate it locally . But then the create fails on the other node. In other words the node that uses oracleasm scandisks to pick up OCR will always fail with the error above
In other words, if I run "/usr/sbin/oracleasm createdisk OCR /dev/asm/OCR " on node1, root.sh wll fail with the above error on node2. Even though scandisks detects the OCR on node2
If I run this command on node2 first, root.sh will fail on node1 . Even though scandisks detects the OCR on node1
This is a nightmare would appreciate some advice on diagnosing where the problem is with my configuration of ASM before I roll back the root.sh again !
Thanks

Thanks Sebastian
I tried this but I also needed to recreate the OCR disk as root.sh throws an error that it is already created, so i ran a dd on the device , then deleted OCR using oraclasm
Then I tried to recreate on first node and got
/usr/sbin/oracleasm createdisk OCR /dev/mapper/mpath3
Unable to open device "/dev/mapper/mpath3": Device or resource busy
Tried it on other node and it worked
I rolled back root.sh and then ran it again and it thows the following error
DiskGroup OCR creation failed with the following message:
ORA-15018: diskgroup cannot be created
ORA-15017: diskgroup "OCR" cannot be mounted
ORA-15003: diskgroup "OCR" already mounted in another lock name space
I decided to reboot the machines to get around the busy device. Once rebooted I was able to run oracleasm createdisk without any errors. root.sh also did not throw errors but I am not 100% confident that the root.sh was ok on the second node. Anyway I have lost my install GUI during reboot so could not complete the install anyway
So now I will deinstall everything and start again , and I will update the forum to if there was no issue and problem resolved
Thanks a lot for the pointers and your time

Hello Ashleigh,
Based on your code, I'd start by running this piece of SQL via command-line (thru SQL Workshop, SQL*Plus, Toad, etc.), replacing &P3_SCHEMA_NAME. and &P3_DB_NAME. with values that are currently causing the routine to fail and see if it returns more than one row. I don't know your data, but DISTINCT and GROUP BY are typically used to return multiple (though grouped/summarized) rows. It appears to be the only statement that would cause the error your seeing (more than one row being returned into single variables).
select distinct DDH_DB_NM, max(DDH_SCHEMA_NR)keep(dense_rank last order by ddh_runstart_td) AS "PATCH" from &P3_SCHEMA_NAME..ddl_log@&P3_DB_NAME.db_link GROUP BY DDH_DB_NM;I'm actually surprised that the code runs at all. I didn't think 'execute immediate' would know what to do with substitutions indicated as "&something." (I've typically seen that when substituting in dynamic HTML/Javascript code but maybe I'm learning something new). But since you already have vServer2 and vSchema2, I'd be more apt to code it as:
vStmt2 := 'select distinct DDH_DB_NM, max(DDH_SCHEMA_NR)keep(dense_rank last order by ddh_runstart_td) AS "PATCH" from ' ||
vSchema2 || '.ddl_log@' || vServer2 || '.db_link GROUP BY DDH_DB_NM';Hope this helps,
John

Ora-00604 error and ora 01000 error while report generation.

Lots of resources with a simple search to see what this is about, for example:
http://www.orafaq.com/wiki/ORA-01000
ORA-01000:     maximum open cursors exceeded
Cause:     A host language program attempted to open too many cursors. The initialization parameter OPEN_CURSORS determines the maximum number of cursors per user.
Action:     Modify the program to use fewer cursors. If this error occurs often, shut down Oracle, increase the value of OPEN_CURSORS, and then restart Oracle.

Any ideas?

Ok, I think I found the problem. The view in question (SUBSCRIPTIONS) is owned by 'PHILC' and it references a table named 'SUBSCRIPTIONS' owned by 'CSBCROSSWORLDS'. There are two other development schemas that also own tables named 'SUBSCRIPTIONS'.
I believe the 'Columns' tab is executing the query below. The subquery in this SQL tries to identify the primary key columns for the 'SUBSCRIPTIONS' view in my schema (PHILC):

Using database-link in view to get around ORA-01031 error

I have been granted select rights on a users table. I am therefore able to select from his table. If however I try create a view against his table I run into the ORA-01031 problem. I have worked around this problem by creating a database-link to myself and then adding that to the view creation and it works. What are the downsides of using the database-link in this way?

The only down side I have been able to identify is that a extra session is created and that the CPU has a little extra work due to the LOOP BACK that takes place. I need to ensure the network is not unnessesarly used and therefore will need to ensure that 127.0.0.1 (local host) is used in the database connection discription. e.g.
create database link my_db_link connect to scott identified by tiger using '(description=(address=(protocol=tcp)(host=127.0.0.1) (Port = 1521) ) (connect_data= (sid=ora10g)))';

Getting ora:00904 invalid indentifier error while running i query

Hi,
I have a remote database and local database both are oracle 10gR2.Now i have written the below mentioned query in my local database and is working fine,but in case remote database it is throughing error ora:00904 invalid indentifier.
I had export the dump from remote db and import it on my local db and i tried the same and it is working fine on local after that also.
As i believe that this error usually come for column name not exist or column name or it's length or for any special character in column name of the table.But as i said it is working fine on local db but not in remote db though i am using the same dump for local and remote.
Though when i am querying the table i can able to fetch data for the any record but when i am using the below mentioned query for the same i am getting the error.As i am doing this to fecth the data for child parent related relationship.
Can any one suggest is there anything related to configaration or something else.
Please do let me know if you do want some more information on the query what i am doing inside of it.
Rgds,
Anit

'ORA-01722: Invalid Number' error while Running a Query

Hi,
I'm trying to run a query built on a DSO. The DSO has a field 'Start Date'. This Start Date InfoObject has a reference Char as 0DATE.
This Start Field has blank values due to which I'm getting the ORA-01722 error. I came across many threads with same topic of discussion. As mentioned in one of the Threads I have written a program to update 'Start Date' with 00000000. The code wriiten is "UPDATE /BIC/AZ_MONINV00 SET /BIC/ZSTR_DTE = '00000000' where /BIC/ZSTR_DTE = ' '.
Now when I see the data in the active data table of DSO the blank value is replaced with '00000000'.
But If I right click on the DSO click on display data the 'Start Date' field is blank. And now the Query also gets executed without any error. But in the output of the query the 'Start Date' Field has "#" values.
Can anyone suggest on how can I make these "#" values appear as 00000000 in the report?

In this case, you have to write a macro to avoid # in Analyzer.
Right Click-->Display Data will show data from Active table of DSO only.
If you don't want to show any blank date values in the report, you can exclude in Filter in Query.

ORA-12712 error while changing nls character set to AL32UTF8

Hi,
It is strongly recommend to use database character set AL32UTF8 when ever a database is going to used with our XML capabilities. The database character set in the installed DB is WE8MSWIN1252. For making use of XML DB features, I need to change it to AL32UTF8. But, when I try doing this, I'm getting ORA-12712: new character set must be a superset of old character set. Is there a way to solve this issue?
Thanks in advance,
Divya.

Hi,
a change from we8mswin1252 to al32utf8 is not directly possible. This is because al32utf is not a binary superset of we8mswin1252.
There are 2 options:
- use full export and import
- Use of the Alter in a sort of restricted way
The method you can choose depends on the characters in the database, is it only ASCII then the second one can work, in other cases the first one is needed.
It is all described in the Support Note 260192.1, "Changing the NLS_CHARACTERSET to AL32UTF8 / UTF8 (Unicode)". Get it from the support/metalink site.
You can also read the chapters about this issue in the Globalization Guide: [url http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E11882_01/server.112/e10729/ch11charsetmig.htm#g1011430]Change characterset.

Error while adding Image: ORA-00001: unique constraint

Dear all,
I have an error while adding images to MDM I can´t explain. I want to add 7231 images. About 6983 run fine. The rest throws this error.

I checked all data. There is no such dataset in the database. Can anybody give me a hint how to avoid this error.
One thing I wonder: The PermanentId is allways the same but I can´t do anything here.

Hi Ritam,
For such issues, can you please create a new thread or directly email the author rather than dragging back up a very old thread, it is unlikely that the resolution would be the same as the database/application/etc releases would most probably be very different.
For now I will close this thread as unanswered.
