Regarding ASM Configration

Dear All...
i have install oracle Enterprise Linux on VM Ware.. the os version of OEL is : 2.6.32-200.13.1.el5uek
Now i want to configure ASM Disk but which version of oracleasm install plase any one tell me..and how many patch are required ...i am installaing oracle 10g rac on two virtual Machine of laptop....
Regards

You will need to install the following additional packages: oracleasm-support, oracleasmlib.
(The oracleasm driver is already included in the Oracle UEK kernel.)
If you do not have a subscription and access to Oracle ULN you might want to setup Oracle public yum by following the instructions at http://public-yum.oracle.com.
Then you can install the oracleasm-support package using the following command:
sudo yum install oracleasm-support
To install the oracleasmlib package, check
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/topics/linux/asmlib/index-101839.html
Oracle ASMLib Downloads for Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server 5
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/server-storage/linux/downloads/rhel5-084877.html
To install oracleasmlib use the following according to your kernel architecture and version. For instance:
sudo rpm -ivh http://download.oracle.com/otn_software/asmlib/oracleasmlib-2.0.4-1.el5.x86_64.rpm

  • Regarding Variant Configration

    Dear All
    Hi My self Mandar Sathe a recent new comer in SAP field in PP module. I am having a query regarding Variant Configration. I am having a product FERT with a code. Say a Lock that can be sold in different finish with Different mechanisms and with different key options to be specific
    consider a Navtal lock this Lock can be sold with 2 keys 3 keys and more having produced with different mechanism in different colour shades so i want to configre the same FERT using Variant Configration so at the time of producing the same it will ask me combination of Number of Keys Finish and Mechanism. How to configure the same using Variant Configration Method.
    Now i have defined the material as configrable matrial I have defined a class and characterstics but not able to simulate them to get end result so pls guide me also if anybody has the documents regarding the same pls
    Thanks & Regards

    Mandar,
    basically selection condition is used to select a item from  BOM , like on item 0010 MATR10 is present and you want to select this material when the characterstic value is RED for characterstic COLOUR ,then you need top assign selection condition
    $self.COLOUR = 'RED'
    Precondtionas are used to hide available values of characterstics or characterstics it self depends upon the previous selection of values.
    like in some products some restrictions are there like, Car with red colur is not availabe with automatic transmission, so in suct case for the characterstic TRANSMISSION preconduitons can be written as
    $SELF.COLOUR  NA RED
    procedure are used for selection things depends upon previous selection of values, it can also be used for adding or deleting quantitys etc.
    Procedures can overwrite default values that are set by other procedures.
    $SET_DEFAULT ($SELF, <characteristic>, <term>)
    A configurable material has characteristics COLOR and PRESSURE. The following procedures are allocated to the configuration profile of the material.
    0010 $SELF.COLOR = u2018GREENu2019 IF PRESSURE >= 10
    0020 $SELF.COLOR = u2018YELLOWu2019 IF PRESSURE >= 50
    0030 $SELF.COLOR = u2018REDu2019 IF PRESSURE >= 100
    The sort sequence ensures that pressure greater than or equal to 100 always sets the color u2018redu2019
    Check it out and revert back.

  • Regarding ASM in Oracle 11g

    Hi
    I would like to use ASM storage for my single instance oracle 11gR2 database. I am a little bit confused so that asking some question about Oracle 11g ASM.
    1. Does Grid Infrastructure mandatory for installation Oracle 11g  ASM instance?
    2. Without installation Grid Infrastructure can I full fill my requirements ?
    Regards

  • Redo log best practice for performace - ASM 11g

    Hi All,
    I am new to ASM world....can you please give your valuable suggestion on below topic.
    What is the best practice for online redo log files ? I read it somewhere that oracle recommand to have only two disk group one for the all DB fils, control files online redo log files and other disk group for recovery files, like mulitplex redo file, archive log files etc.
    Will there be any performance improvment to make different diskgroup for online redo log (separate from datafiles, contorl files etc) ?
    I am looking for oracle document to find the best practise for redo log (peformance) on ASM.
    Please share your valuable views on this.
    Regards.

    ASM is only a filesystem.
    What really count on performance about I/O is the Storage Design i.e (RAID used, Array Sharing, Hard Disk RPM value, and so on).
    ASM itself is only a layer to read and write on ASM DISK. What mean if you storage design is ok ... ASM will be ok. (of course there is best pratices on ASM but Storage must be in first place)
    e.g There is any performance improvement make different Diskgroup?
    Depend...and this will lead to another question.
    Is the Luns on same array?
    If yes the performance will end up on same point. No matter if you have one or many diskgroup.
    Coment added:
    Comparing ASM to Filesystem in benchmarks (Doc ID 1153664.1)
    Your main concern should be how many IOPs,latency and throughput the storage can give you. Based on these values you will know if your redologs will be fine.

  • GG on ASM

    WE are implementing GG on Oracle 11.2.0.3 running on 64bit RHEL with ASM for storage ( no RAC). The GG version is 11.2.1.0.1 and we want to use integrated capture to support advanced compression. Is there anything different needs to be done in the ASM environment ?.

    Short answer: no.
    Long answer: yes.
    Please see the install guide:
    http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E35209_01/doc.1121/e35957.pdf
    In your version of the database ASM for OGG becomes a non issue. If you were not using integrated extract (IE), you would be using the DBLOGREADER API under the covers and wouldn't need to do anything regarding ASM - it would all just happen under the covers. In earlier versions you'd need to setup the ASM user ID and password and possibly make appropriate changes to your environment settings. But with IE, once you get the database patched appropriately, the extract process shouldn't need anything special out side of the documented privileges.
    Good luck,

  • ASM prerquisit- Installing Grid infrastructure on AIX 6.1

    Hello All,
    I want to implement Oracle RAC 11g R2 on AIX 6.1.
    I am preparing the prerequisite steps.
    My question is regarding ASM.
    Do i Have to create disks on my SAN storage, so I can create the ASM disk groups ?
    how can I link the disk groups to physical disks ?
    I used that before on Linux, but what i did that i create 5 physical disks then created an ASM disk group from these 5 disks ? how should i manage that in AIX?
    Another issue:
    On Linux I used to do the below:
    1. I used the "fdisk" command to partition the disks ? should i do that on AIX? how it can be done?
    2. I downloaded the appropriate ASMLib RPM for Linux. Is there anything like that for AIX?
    3. I used to configure ASM lib as below :
    # oracleasm configure -i
    Configuring the Oracle ASM library driver.
    This will configure the on-boot properties of the Oracle ASM library
    driver.  The following questions will determine whether the driver is
    loaded on boot and what permissions it will have.  The current values
    will be shown in brackets ('[]').  Hitting <ENTER> without typing an
    answer will keep that current value.  Ctrl-C will abort.
    Default user to own the driver interface []: grid
    Default group to own the driver interface []: dba
    Start Oracle ASM library driver on boot (y/n) [n]: y
    Scan for Oracle ASM disks on boot (y/n) [y]:
    Writing Oracle ASM library driver configuration: done
    # is there any step like that in AIX?
    4. I used to create disks like below, How do i do that on AIX?
    # /usr/sbin/oracleasm createdisk DISK1 /dev/sdb1
    # /usr/sbin/oracleasm scandisks
    # /usr/sbin/oracleasm listdisks

  • Issue configuring ASM

    I am trying to create a new Single instance test database (10.2.0.4 on Linux RHEL4) with ASM storage and but I am unable to get any disk listing on the 'Configure Automatic Storage Management' screen. But when I execute
    $ /etc/init.d/oracleasm listdisks
    ASMDSK1
    ASMDSK2
    ASMDSK3
    ASMDSK4
    ASMDSK5
    ASMDSK6
    Also, when I queried the disks, I didn't get any errors.
    $ /etc/init.d/oracleasm querydisk ASMDSK1
    Disk "ASMDSK1" is a valid ASM disk on device [8, 17]
    There is no error log or any information regarding ASM in the install log file.
    What am I missing out where am I going wrong?
    Thanks in advance,
    Arindam

    please check permission files at /dev/oracleasm/disks/
    Example:
    # ls -l /dev/oracleasm/disks/
    total 0

    brw-rw---- 1 oracle dba 7, 3 Dec 11 10:09 VOL3
    what use did you start ASM instance "oracle"?
    if you use "oracle", you should have "oracle" permission at files in /dev/oracleasm/disks/ PATH
    if permission on files don't match with user start ASM instance... you should modified configure ASMLIB
    - Stop ASM instance

  • ASM or Regular File System?

    I have read few threads regarding ASM/non-ASM file system. I am thinking ASM is easy to maintain when configured, but hard to maintain when move of database to non-ASM etc. can you suggest?
    Thanks.

    I dont think so.. The question of chosing ASM or not dosn't depend how hard or easy it is, the main thing to know id what is the actual requirement. If you use ASM then it means its raw devices managed by oracle and definitely in order to deal with the ASM files you have to through oracle interface (RMAN) and that disks cannot be seen from OS.
    There are plenty of docs available online to move database from ASM to non-ASM and vice versa, if you are good in RMAN then it shouldn't be a problem plus how many time are you gonna move your database?

    ASM is going to be a storage option. The storage that would be used by the ASM instance must be available already. The installation of the GI would be on the file system of the node.

  • Question about ASM

    Hi dears,
    I am planning the installation of G.I 11R2 and have a question regarding ASM.
    If I have ASM diskgroup with normal or high redundancy for my DB need I create multiplex redologs and
    multiplex controlfiles ? If I understood correctly the multiplex redologs and controlfile is another HA and DR option.
    From Oracle documentation
    *"To protect against a failure involving the redo log itself, Oracle Database allows a multiplexed redo log, meaning that two or more identical copies of the redo log can be automatically maintained in separate locations."*
    Question rised when I checked my old G.I with RACcheck and got the following....
         The online redo logs of an Oracle database are critical to availability and recoverability and should always be multiplexed even in cases where fault tolerance is provided at the storage level.
    The controlfile of an Oracle database is critical to availability and recoverability and should always be multiplexed even in cases where fault tolerance is provided at the storage level.
    "should always be multiplexed even in cases where fault tolerance is provided at the storage level"
    WHY ????
    Please share your experience.
    ./thanks

    Ilmar Kerm wrote:
    Redo logs and controlfile are very critical for database, and if something happened with one copy of them (like file is deleted or corrupted) you can quickly recover by copying over the damaged file with the contents from the surviving file (copies are identical). So copies should be located on separate LUNs/disks/diskgroups/filesystems.Thanks Ilmar for reply.
    I understand what you said its obvious. My questions is that if I already have 2 copies or 3 copies of redolog files with ASM nigh or normal redundancy why I need to do it also with creating multiplex redo file.....

  • ASM support on Win2008-32bit OS

    Hi,
    Can anyone let me know whether ASM is supported on Win2008-32bit systems ? I am a getting the following error while trying to install an ASM database on Win2008-32bit OS.
    >
    Oracle Database 11gRelease 2 and later supports Oracle ASM only on 64bit Windows operating systems
    >
    I checked the certification page and was not able to find details regarding ASM support.
    Amith

    Hi Amith,
    32-bit processors have address registers that are 32-bits wide (can address up to 4GB physical RAM).
    The 4GB addressable space per process is divided into system and user space. By default, the system space is 2GB and the private user space is 2GB. Each user process shares the same 2GB System address space.
    I do not recommend to use (AWE/PAE) to increase memory (more than 4GB) address since already exists Oracle and Windows 64bit.
    The Oracle Restart must be configured to use ASM.
    Memory Requirements for Grid Infrastructure Standalone
    Oracle Grid Infrastructure requires at least 1 gigabyte (GB) of RAM for installation.
    http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E11882_01/install.112/e16773/oraclerestart.htm#CHDCEBFD
    Memory Requirements for Database
    Physical memory (RAM) 1 GB minimum
    http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E11882_01/install.112/e16773/reqs.htm#BCFDACBF
    Configuring ASM with two Diskgroup you will use least 500M.
    Creating a database with 1GB of memory (using memory target) you already will have memory problems.
    Using this setup your database with 50 connections already be with out of memory problem.
    Remember the private user space is 2G on Windows.
    To avoid these types of problems that were already happening in version 11.1 on Windows 32bit, Oracle no longer supports ASM on Windows 32bit because the amount of services increased and there is a big limitation of memory on Windows 32bit.
    This issue is very common on Windows 32bit. I have seen many database admins suffering with this problem on Windows 32bit.
    *ORA-27102, OSD-00031 Unable To Extend Memory_max_target And Memory_target Past 2GB [ID 842881.1]*
    To use all the features of Oracle 11.2 with Oracle Grid Infrastructure you will need more than 2Gbytes of RAM available to User address space.
    On a Linux 32bit Kernel works in another way not limiting to 2GB RAM address space, for that Linux 32bit still supported Oracle Database + Grid Standalone.
    I'm not suggesting you use Linux just showing the reason of Windows not being supported.

  • Few Questions on ASM

    Hi,
    I am new to ASM and I have few questions regarding ASM.
    1.In a RAC environment I understand there will be 2 ASM instanace for a 2 node RAC.If one of the node crashes for ASM what will happen to
    the other instance and How will other instance will know about crash of one of the instance.
    2.How can I backup ASM database through RAMN and How can I recover to a different new machine without ASM.
    3.Where should I keep my archive logs,can I keep my archive logs on ASM if so how can I configure the database for that.
    4.Usually companies keep 4-5 instance on each node and with ASM it will be one more instance.what will happen to cache fusion for the instances(ASM also uses cache fusion if so how we can query if there is bottleneck on the cache fusion).
    5.How can we administor ASM instances.(ASMCMD OR SRVCTL OR BOTH).
    6.If I want to duplicate the database through RMAN how can i do it if I am using ASM.
    7.ASM instances do we have to take backup or how can I recreate them.
    Regards
    MMU

    MMU,
    ASM is a volume manager like other volume manger available in the market. ASM does not have any data dictionary and there is no need to take backup of ASM instance as this will have only metadata about ASM disks and ASM instance itslef keep mirrored copy of this metadata internally.
    Regarding your questionsa about backup, I would suggest you to go thru Oracle Backup and Recovery Advanced User Guide available from OTN.
    For administration of ASM instance, there are database views starting with v$ASM* that can be very useful. Following are few of ASM views:
    V$ASM_DISK
    V$ASM_DISKGROUP
    V$ASM_OPERATION
    V$ASM_FILE
    V$ASM_ALIAS
