Problem starting ASM on non-RAC environment on HP-UX 11.11

I am trying to start ASM on single node running multiple database as I am planning to test setting up on of the db files with ASM.
Wen I tried to start the ASM after I created the init+ASM.ora and exported the ORACLE _SID to +ASM; I got the error below;
SQL> startup
ORA-29701: unable to connect to Cluster Manager
I realized the css was down and I tried to start without much success as shown below; by the way, the ASM home is the same as the Oracle 10g (10.2.0.3) binaries home.
# $ORACLE_HOME/bin/localconfig add

Expecting the CRS daemons to be up within 600 seconds.
Giving up: Oracle CSS stack appears NOT to be running.

# $ORACLE_HOME/bin/crsctl set css misscount 600

Please advice

This is what I get when I run the localconfig add
# $ORACLE_HOME/bin/localconfig add

  • Cssd does not start in non-RAC environment Thus we can not bring up ASM

    Non-RAC environment
    ASM version = 11.1.0.7
    HP-UX Itanium 11.23
    After power outage, CSSD does not start on non-RAC environment
    Running as root "/sbin/init.d/init.cssd start" does not start cssd
    Oracle support tried "$ASM_HOME/bin/localconfig delete" and "$ASM_HOME/bin/localconfig add"
    but it did not start CSS
    Oracle support tried "$ASM_HOME/bin/localconfig reset $ASM_HOME"
    It started the CSSD and the "crsctl check css" came back with CSS is healthy
    But around 1 minute later it rebooted the server and when it came up again CSS does not start.
    They checked /etc/inittab and it looked fine.
    Before the reboot we saw this message in the /var/adm/syslog/OLDsyslog.log:
    Cluster Ready Services completed waiting on dependencies
    Again it is a NON-RAC environment. We only need CSSD for ASM. We do not have CRS installed on this server.
    Our test system has been down for a week and we did not get the resolution from Oracle support yet !
    Any pointers are greately appriciated.
    Thanks,

  • ASM in a non-RAC environment

    Gurus,
    what are the advantages, if any, of running ASM in a non-RAC environment?
    Thanks.

    Any raid (that actually provides multiple disks in a
    LVM) will nullify the performance gains of raw that
    are associated with disk head contention.
    Any disk subsystem with front-end RAM cache will
    nullify the rest of the performance gains of raw
    disk.
    Any 'RAID-5 is good' argument under a database
    assumes large and efficient cache.Unfortunately, we can't just discount RAID-5, since it is far too cost-efficient an option these days, with 10, 20, 30+ TB databases. Plus, the storage vendors actually make it efficient enough that it performs almost as well as RAID 1+0.
    Multiple disks on the storage subsystem and RAM caches (for reads and writes) are still important and valuable performance enhancements. Remember that your storage subsystem is much more efficient at this than your database or server (since it's designed to do it!). True, it doesn't have knowledge of the database files, their content, and their usage, but you do, and can therefore intelligently configure the subsystem and place the data files.
    ASM does nothing more intelligent than stripe the data across all of the available disks. The best part about it is the ability to dynamically grow the groups. The problem with it is that it thwarts the read-ahead cache of the storage subsystem. And, while Oracle will intelligently 'read-ahead', it can't optimize where the heads are on the disk, or take into consideration the 10 other servers accessing the same storage subsystem.
    The problem with ASM doing the striping is that, for large databases, you will typically have hundreds of disks underneath the covers. If you gave the OS and then Oracle that many devices, what do you think would happen? It would step all over itself and seriously impair your ability to access the devices in parallel. Whereas, if you group 4 or 8 devices together, the storage subsystem will access them together in parallel for the OS.
    So, don't discount your storage box... But yeah, use RAID 1+0 rather than RAID-5 (4,3) when possible!

  • Instnce name in non-RAC environment

    Hi!
    In non-RAC environment V$INSTANCE.INSTANCE_NAME does not actually displays the name of the instance,that was set in INSTANCE_NAME parameter.
    It always displays DB_NAME instead.
    Is it any way to get instance_name that has service user connected to in this environment?

    The documentation on INSTANCE_NAME in the 10gR2 Reference says :
    "In a single-instance database system, the instance name is usually the same as the database name."
    (this after
    "In a Real Application Clusters environment, multiple instances can be associated with a single database service. Clients can override Oracle's connection load balancing by specifying a particular instance by which to connect to the database. INSTANCE_NAME specifies the unique name of this instance.")
    This would imply that setting INSTANCE_NAME in non-RAC is ignored. The usage of the word "usually" is weak.

  • The CSSD does not start automatically on Non-RAC - AIX 5L

    Hi all,
    Database: Oracle 10.2.0.4
    O.S AIX 5.3 TL 10
    I am facing a problem with the CSSD Non-RAC/Clusterware.
    When we restarted the server the service CSSD does not start automatically and there is no relevant messages in the log files of CSSD.
    Running the "localconfig reset $ORACLE_HOME", execute successfully but does not start the CSSD.
    Running "/etc/init.cssd start" - does not work, nothing happens when we run it
    I manually ran "/etc/ init.cssd run" and the service CSSD (ossd.bin) was started without errors.
    No errors on errpt from AIX.
    I've opened a SR but I am waiting for response from Oracle.

    Hi,
    I believe this problem is not with Oracle, but in AIX.It may be that one process that is starting on boot is holding the other process. You need to identify what is process/application.
    Check the process on inittab that are already active and which are inactive they should be active.
    One clue: Is very common process that is initiated in wait mode hold the boot server.
    wait
    When the init command enters the run level that matches the entry's run level,
    start the process and wait for its termination.
    All subsequent reads of the /etc/inittab file while the init
    command is in the same run level will cause the init command to ignore this entry.http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/aix/v6r1/index.jsp?topic=/com.ibm.aix.files/doc/aixfiles/inittab.htm

  • IS IT SUPPORTED TO CENTRALLY MOUNT THE ORACLE_HOME IN A NON-RAC ENVIRONMENT

    SR 7250090.993 : (http://qmon.oraclecorp.com/qmon3/quickpicks.pl?t=t&q=7250090.993)
    Technical Summary:
    Customer is planing to install Oracle 10.2.0.4 and 11.1.0.x software on a Red Hat5 with NetApp storage.
    Customer came across the following :
    For single instance installations (as opposed to RAC installations), you must create a separate Oracle home directory for each installation. Run the software in this Oracle home directory only from the system that you used to install it. For Oracle Real Application Clusters (RAC) installations, you can use a single Oracle home directory mounted from each node in the cluster. You must mount this Oracle home directory on each node so that it has the same directory path on all nodes.
    mentioned in the 10gR2 documentation link :
    http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/install.102/b15667/app_nas.htm#BCFIDEJA
    Requirements/Expectations:
    As the above statements, that customer came across is not present in 9i documentation, customer wants to understand if it is actually supported to centrally mount the 10g/11g ORACLE_HOME to many servers that are not RAC enabled.
    Also, I would like to understand if the statements in documentation indicate that it is not generally recommended centrally mount the 10g/11g ORACLE_HOME or does it mean that it is not supported to centrally mount the ORACLE_HOME in a non RAC environment?
    Please advice.

    The binaries (executables) in an Oracle home are "linked" (link edited?) to the OS libraries on each server where the software is installed.
    Unless the OS is IDENTICAL on each of the IDENTICAL(HW) servers -- that would share the Oracle home--, you could be in trouble.
    The only supported configuration (I know of) where the Oracle binaries are shared between servers is 9i RAC. On 10g RAC the binaries are installed on each server.
    Other wise I'd say it's NOT recommended, besides you don't save anything (execpt a cooupl of Gigs disk space).

  • Help while creating ASM instance on rac environment on Linux

    Help while creating ASM instance on rac environment on Oracle enterprise Linux 4 x84_64 Update 5 (10g2).
    a) Installed ASMLib 2.0 Packages

    VOL3
    But Disk members not displayed for creating disk groups. I even tried to "Change Disk Discovery Path" button and put "ORCL:VOL*" but still no luck.
    Someone told me use, use ADD DISKS button but this button is disabled for me.
    Can anyone, please help me if I missing something.

    I set the Change Disk Discovery Path" to /dev/oracleasm/disk/* instead of "ORCL:VOL* and this worked for me.

  • CRS-0210: Could not find resource while start ASM on 10G RAC

    Dear All
    I'm trying to install 10g RAC on Redhat 4.1. At the point at which I try to start ASM it fails with the message
    ORA-03113: end-of-file on communication channel
    select value from v$parameter where name='instance_type'
    ERROR at line 1:
    ORA-01034: ORACLE not available
    This seems to be due to a failure CRS. The trace file shows:
    [Thread-11] [17:14:2:907] [HAOperationImpl.runCommand:1254] CRS cmd is: /u01/app/oracle/product/10.2.0/crs/bin/crs_stat -u ora.bfhxx-sql012.ASM1.asm
    [Thread-41] [17:14:2:964] [StreamReader.run:65] OUTPUT>CRS-0210: Could not find resource ora.bfhxx-sql012.ASM1.asm.
    Executing
    /u01/app/oracle/product/10.2.0/crs/bin/crs_stat
    produces:

    Is this a red herring or is it the reason ASM won't start? At what point should this entry have been created (ie should it already exist when ASM starts or should ASM create it)? Can I manually create the entry using crsstat.
    Many thanks
    Paul

    It all depends on what your mapping problem was and what you did to resolve it. Here are a couple of things you could try:
    -Make sure the orc.loc file on ebdb1 has the same entry as ebdb2. Also, say you are using shared raw devices for CRS: make sure your raw devices are consistent on both nodes.
    If the above does not work
    -Make sure the shared devices are consistent on both nodes and restore one of the OCR backups. I am sure at least one of the backups 4hrs/8hrs/1day/2day/1week some thing must be a worthwhile. If you do restore OCR from a backup make sure to run cluvfy before you start your CRS.
    Always a good practise to take a backup of status quo before you restore from the backups.
    It would be interesting to know what lead to your disk mapping problem in the first palce.
    Good Luck!

  • OCFS2 in a non-RAC environment

    Here's a question I've been batting around with a sysadmin. I thought I'd run it past this group.
    We're spec'ing out the hardware for a very large Oracle database (3+ TB) running on Linux. This will be a single, non-RAC instance. This particular SA has very bad feelings about the ext3 filesystem (I am not exactly sure what his objections are). He has heard about ocfs2 and wonders if it would be superior to ext3.
    What do you think? Would ocfs2 be appropriate in a non-clustered environment? Can you suggest any arguments for or against this approach?
    Thanks, I appreciate any thoughts anyone might have.

    Note that paper was written in 2004, and their tests used Pentium III processors. The OS was RHAS 2.1 and their kernel was 2.4.9
    I'm not saying that invalidates the paper's conclusions, but I'm certainly saying you'd have to be very careful indeed in assuming that conclusions drawn from that combination of hardware and software had anything much to say about today's quad cores, multi-gigabyte RAM, kernel 2.6.x setups.
    I'm concerned when I see their graphs on page 8: no axis scales in either x or y directions. If they're going to come to the conclusion that ext2/3 performance tails off, it would be nice to know whether it does so when the number of users hits 10, 50, 100, 500 or whatever, wouldn't it? But you can't tell anything from their graphs on that score.
    And I don't see any mention of them adjusting the buffer cache when using raw, which (having just abolished the file system cache) is something you should sensibly do when making such comparisons.
    And, of course, they were testing OCFS not OCFS2, so again... the applicability of anything concluded in that paper to today's situation is highly questionable, at least in my mind. But I do note that OCFS with "high numbers" of users ended up clobbering the CPU to death, whereas ext2/3 didn't...
    And they seem to claim that transactions per second levelled out with ext2/3 because they hit a lot of free buffer waits -and there are ways of dealing with them that don't involve getting rid of the file system! The fact that they didn't report a lot of write complete waits as well as free buffer waits might indicate that they just need more DBWRs, and not a switch of file system, for example.
    Anyway... short answer is, I wouldn't read too much into that report, which looks to me to be poorly devised and written and very much 'of its time and place' with little general applicability outside of that.

  • Installing ASM in it's own home (non-RAC environment)

    I am installing ASM
    When I run root.sh I get the following error:Expecting the CRS daemons to be up within 600 seconds.
    Giving up: Oracle CSS stack appears NOT to be running.
    Oracle CSS service would not start as installed
    Automatic Storage Management(ASM) cannot be used until Oracle CSS service is started.
    The install is on Centos 5 (aka RHEL 5). I have set up a user and a group specifically for this install (user: oracleasm group: asmdba) all of which are the owners of the disks (dev/oracleasm/disks) and the home which i am installing it on. But cannot get past the CSS stack appears not be running.
    Any assistance would be greatly appreciated...I have been all over OTN and metalink but no luck.
    Regards,
    Matt

    Check if daemon ocssd.bin is running by executing:
    ps -ef|grep ocssd
    If it not running then execute
    /etc/init.d/init.cssd run
    sleep 60
    /etc/init.d/init.cssd start
    sleep 120
    /etc/init.d/dbora start
    If that works you had problem because of Oracle bug and the solution in metalink note id 264235.1
    You need to fix the /etc/inittab file moving the line that had init.cssd run to line before level 3 scripts executed.

    I've tried to reconfigure HAS through (as root):

    $GRID_HOME/root.shthis gave me working asm instance but after restart I'm in base position with no crs services.
    And... I've tried to startup crs after restart with no luck but before restart I can shutdown everything and startup ASM instance too (so everything is fine till the reboot). I'm on CentOS 6:

    But ebs fwk pages, forms all works fine, even if one of the database node is down, but CM needs a restart

  • ASM Installation on Oracle 11g Clusterware (RAC) environment

    Hi All,
    I am trying to setup Oracle 11g Standared Edition RAC+ASM on RedHat Linux 5.0 VM ware box. As part of this RAC setup successfully completed. For this i have used raw devices and mounted using NFS.
    In many of forumns i have read that ASM installtion on a cluster envioronmnet is different than non cluster environment.
    I dont know how to start ASM installtion on RAC environment. Please share any documents if you have?
    Thanks,
    Rakesh

    will the steps need to be done on two nodes of cluster or it is sufficient on first node.
    "raw device" for OCR, VOTE, SPFILE_FOR ASM and ASM DISKGROUPs
    before do "raw devices" you have to fdisk(make partitions) on share storages
    node1:
    # fdisk /dev/sdf
    # ls /dev/sdf*
    node2:
    # ls /dev/sdf*
    don't find...,so just fdisk -> l and -> w
    fdisk how? http://linux.about.com/od/commands/l/blcmdl8_fdisk.htm
    Example: /etc/sysconfig/rawdevices do it every nodes
    #Oracle OCR File +~280M+
    /dev/raw/raw1 /dev/sdf1
    #Oracle Voting File +~280M+
    /dev/raw/raw2 /dev/sdf2
    #Oracle ASM spfile ~50M+
    /dev/raw/raw3 /dev/sdf3
    #Oracle ASM DISK Group1
    /dev/raw/raw4 /dev/sdg1
    #Oracle ASM DISK Group2
    /dev/raw/raw5 /dev/sdh1
    And oracle user.. can read /dev/raw/raw* You should find on every nodes
    http://oraclepitstop.wordpress.com/2008/02/15/raw-devices-on-rhel-5-or-oel-5/
    ls -la /dev/raw/raw*
    crw-rw---- 1 root oinstall 162, 1 Jan 13 12:53 /dev/raw/raw1
    crw-rw---- 1 oracle oinstall 162, 2 Jan 13 12:53 /dev/raw/raw2
    crw-rw---- 1 oracle oinstall 162, 3 Jan 13 12:53 /dev/raw/raw3
    crw-rw---- 1 oracle oinstall 163, 1 Jan 13 12:53 /dev/raw/raw4
    crw-rw---- 1 oracle oinstall 164, 1 Jan 13 12:53 /dev/raw/raw5
    do it on node1 but you have to pass phrase on every nodes Before
    http://www.puddingonline.com/~dave/publications/SSH-with-Keys-HOWTO/document/html/SSH-with-Keys-HOWTO-5.html
    example:
    node01:
    $ ssh node01 hostname
    node01
    $ ssh node02 hostname
    node02
    - Install + Setup Clusterware:
    OCR = /dev/raw/raw1
    VOTE = /dev/raw/raw2
    - Install Oracle Database for ASM Home
    spfile for ASM = /dev/raw/raw3
    - after ASM started... create disk groups from /dev/raw/raw4 and /dev/raw/raw5
    - Install Oracle Database for RDBMS Home
    - Create Database to use ASM diskgroups
    http://www.oracle-base.com/articles/11g/OracleDB11gR1RACInstallationOnRHEL5UsingVMwareESXAndNFS.php
    Did you followed the same procedure to set up Oracle 11g RAC+ASM on RHEL 5.0.I'd done(test 11gRAC) it on RHEL 4 + 11g + ASM(on raw device)
    on production, I use ASMlib... + ASM + 10g
