Rename asm instance in RAC

Hello,
ClusterWare 11.2.0.3 + RAC db same version .
I need to rename one of the ASM instances
How can this be done ?
the situation is as follows , I needed to take one of the server out of the cluster and then bring him back in .
when I have added him , he got a new ASM instance name (was ASM1 now it got ASM3 , 2 node rac) ,
thanks

I need to rename one of the ASM instancesNo you don't. Supply reasons and justification for wanting to changes the SID of an ASM instance,
the situation is as follows , I needed to take one of the server out of the cluster and then bring him back in .
when I have added him , he got a new ASM instance name (was ASM1 now it got ASM3 , 2 node rac) ,So? What is wrong with an instance called +ASM3 in a 2 node RAC? How does that now reduce and impair cluster functionality?

  • 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
    b) Configured and Loaded the ASMLib 2.0 Packages
    c) Created ASM Disks for Oracle
    d) I can see, three volumes already defined for ASM file system.
    By running following command (on both node), I get following that means disk are detected.
    /etc/init.d/oracleasm listdisks
    VOL1
    VOL2
    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.

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

  • Configure ASM Instance in RAC cluster - problem

    Linux RH4 with Oracle 11.1.0.6
    I previously had ASM working in a RAC environment, but have uninstalled on all 3 nodes following Oracle guidelines.
    When I attempt to re-configure ASM it states that an ASM instance is located in nodes 2 and 3. Previous ASM software has been removed, and there are no entries in the /etc/oratab files on any of the nodes.
    How do I locate and then remove these instances on nodes 2 and 3
    Thanks

    Steps in Note 311350.1 have been followed, and there are no occurances of ASM appearing in the crs_stat output. Also the fact that the ASM software has also been removed from all of the various, where are these ASM instances being started?
    I am unable to proceed past the "Select Configuration Screen" which gives you the option to 1)Create Database, 2)Configure ASM or 3) Install Software only.
    When I select option 2 and enter ASM SYS password, I get the error message that ASM instances are present in the other nodes.
    Would appreciate any help in how I can progress past this stage.
    Thanks

  • How to clean the asm instance from RAC manually

    for some reason i run crs_unregister asm and crs_unregister lsnr to remove the asm and listener resource from crs yesterday
    and today i want rebuild the asm instance ,so i run dbca again ,but error
    Error when starting ASM instance on node rac1: PRKS-1009 : Failed to start ASM instance "+ASM1" on node "rac1", [PRKS-1011 : Failed to check status of ASM instance "+ASM1" on node "rac1", [CRS-0210: Could not find resource ora.rac1.ASM1.asm.]]
    [PRKS-1011 : Failed to check status of ASM instance "+ASM1" on node "rac1", [CRS-0210: Could not find resource ora.rac1.ASM1.asm.]]
    DBCA could not startup the ASM instance on node: rac1. Manual intervention is required to recreate these instances. If you choose to proceed, ASM diskgroups will not be mounted on non-started remote ASM instances. Do you want to proceed with ASM diskgroup management?
    and problem is how to do this "Manual intervention is required to recreate these instances", I already do 1, dd the asm disk, 2, remove the +ASM directory from $ORACLE_BASE, 3,clean ASM info from /etc/oratab, so what i can do next ?
    i try restart crs ,now the error info is different !!

    Hi,
    Can you post the dbca log?
    and do you share the asm home with oracle home? if it is separated then add LISTENER_+ASM1 in tnsnames in ASMHOME, otherwise add it in ORACLEHOME

  • Rename asm instance name

    Hi gurus,
    i just install RAC (11.2.0.3 both instances) into linux 5.2
    I don't know why but node 1 has ASM2 and node 2 has ASM1. How can i change it to node 1 --> +asm1 and node 2 --> asm2?
    I only found that document in google:
    http://blog.csdn.net/tianlesoftware/article/details/6359415
    but not sure if i should do "srvctl remove asm -n <node name>" is it ok?
    another issue is that each instance has his own spfile in filesystem instead asm, how can i combine both?
    thanks

    hi mseberg,
    i checked this web but i haven't the asm parameters
    ASMn.instance_number
    ASMn.asm_diskgroups
    in the pfile.
    i found a new information looking at google :
    # crsctl modify res ora.asm -attr "GEN_USR_ORA_INST_NAME@SERVERNAME(hostname)"=ASM_SID
    soon as why can try it i post if it worked.
    If someone have any information or idea, he is welcome

  • How to start ASM instance at boot time - RHEL 2.1

    Oracle 10.1.0.3
    RHEL 2.1
    I'm not able to get the ASM instance (not RAC) to start at boot time. It seems that the ocssd daemon does not finish starting until after all rc* scripts, including rc.local, have finished executing.
    Patch 3458327 includes a new dbstart with header notes that are in conflict. The notes says that dbstart can't be used to start ASM until AFTER all rc* is finished.  Then it continues and states that ASM instance startup should be put in rc.local.
    As soon as I get logged on, a ps -ef|grep ocssd shows the daemon running. I can then manually start the ASM instance.  There must be a way to get the ASM instance "auto" started at boot time.
    Ideas?

    The cheapest and administratively easiest way for me was to start Oracle instances (ASM and data) by "at" command :-) from rc scripts. Something like:
    ....echo "oracle start" | at now+2min....
    Additionally the deferred startup has some additional advantages in my environment, so I am not motivated to look for better solution.
    Best regards,
    Pavel

  • ASM instances on 2 node Oracle RAC 10g r2  on Red Hat 4 u1

    Hi all
    I'm experiencing a problem in configuring diskgroups under +ASM instances on a two node Oracle RAC.
    I followed the official guide and also official documents from metalink site, but i'm stuck with the visibility of asm disks.
    I created fake disks on nfs with Netapp certified storage binding them to block device with the usual trick "losetup /dev/loopX /nfs/disk1 " ,
    run "oracleasm createdisk DISKX /dev/loopX" on one node and
    "oracleasm scandisks" on the other one.
    With "oracleasm listdisks" i can see the disks at OS level in both nodes , but , when i try to create and mount diskgroup in the ASM instances , on the instance on which i create the diskgroup all is well, but the other one doesn't see the disks at all, and diskgroup mount fails with :
    ERROR: no PST quorum in group 1: required 2, found 0
    Tue Sep 20 16:22:32 2005
    NOTE: cache dismounting group 1/0x6F88595E (DG1)
    NOTE: dbwr not being msg'd to dismount
    ERROR: diskgroup DG1 was not mounted
    any help would be appreciated
    thanks a lot.

    I'm having this same problem. Did you ever find a solution?

    Yes you are right , I have to make to sure stock budget doesn't get credited.
    If you remember in one of my other threads, i wanted to derive commitment item from Matl grp, it was for this purpose. I will derive commitment through matl group at the time of procurement / GR etc and assign a dummy commitment item to stock a/cs. Where as i will derive a consumption commiment item from consumption GLs.
    Thank you

  • Asm, instance and service failing to start 10g rac redhat el5

    hi,
    i have been following a how to guide from oracle's website about implementing a 10g rac system using el5 (http://www.oracle.com/technology/pub/articles/hunter_rac10gr2_iscsi.html), by the end of the installation and setup I had both the nodes up and running and all services were up and running. Then under the root account I rebooted one of the nodes. now when I check the status of the services I get this:

    srvctl start asm -n rac01and it starts but the instance and service on the rebooted node still wont start. is there a log file which tells me what the error is when it tries to start the instance? what can I do to ensure that if a node is rebooted that all of the services get started correctly and the node automatically rejoins the cluster (i thought I had set all of this from the instructions of the guide I was following).

    Check ASM resource:

    What do you see AUTO_START?
    if 1 = auto start:
    or check error ASM while start... at ASM_HOME/log/rac01/racg/*
    If AUTO_START=2
    Oracle Clusterware is configured to start the VIP, listener, instance, ASM, database services and other resources during system boot. Starting with 10.1.0.4, it is possible to modify some resources to have their profile parameter AUTO_START set to the value 2. This means that after node reboot, or when Oracle Clusterware is started, resources with AUTO_START=2 will need to be started manually via srvctl. Please work with Oracle Support if you need to modify this attribute.
    If AUTO_START=2 and need to change to 1:
    Example:
    $ crs_stat -p ora.rac01.ASM1.asm
    NAME=ora.rac01.ASM1.asm
    TYPE=application
    ACTIVE_PLACEMENT=0

  • Shutting down ASM instance in 11.2 RAC

    DB version : 11.2.0.2
    Platform : Solaris 10 / AIX 6.1

    Since OCR and Voting Disks are stored in ASM Diskgroups (11.2) , is it OK to shutdown ASM instance in any or both of the nodes ? ie.
    Will CRS in a node go down if you shutdown ASM instance in that Node ?

    Will CRS in a node go down if you shutdown ASM instance in that Node ?Yes. You will have to first stop the Oracle Clusterware stack on the node on which you need to stop the Oracle ASM instance.
    Either use "crsctl stop cluster -n node_name" or "crsctl stop crs" for this purpose.
    Since you are using OCR and VOTING DISK on ASM, it's not possible stop only ASM and keep cluster running.

    Please help me.

    Hi,
    I believe your OCR is corrupted....so restore the OCR from most recent backup (before error ).
    Using crs_* commands on resources with the prefix ora.* (resources provided by Oracle) remains unsupported.
    After restore OCR... remove ASM with "srvctl" command:

  • ASM instance for Multiple DBs in a RAC environment - 10GR2

    Are there any drawbacks if you create 2 RAC databases ex Chicago (consisting on 2 nodes Chicago1 and Chicago2) and Orlando (consisting of Oralndo1 and Oralndo2) on the same ASM instance running on Oracle 10G R2.
    Would it be better to create 2 ASM instances?
    Thanks

    ASM is node specific. Meaning you can only have one ASM instance per node.. its like any other volume manager. You only need one volume manager/storage manager to handle the storage for a given node. Its no different with ASM.
    So irrespective of the number of databases you plan to create on a node, you will only have one ASM instance.
    A word of caution when creating multiple RDBMS instances, is to ensure you have sufficient resources for this. Unless the user access patterns are considerably different or the business needs stipulate separate database, you should also consider database consolidation if possible.

  • Rconfig fails for migrate single ASM instance to Oracle RAC 11.2.0.3

    We completed the following steps thus far to migrate single instance with ASM 11.2.0.3 on Oracle Linux to RAC:
    1. Install RAC CRS 11.2.0.3 in GRID_HOME
    2. Install RAC database 11.2.0.3 software in new ORACLE_HOME
    3. Added ASM diskgroups to two node ASM instances
    4. run rconfig from target RAC ORACLE_HOME
    It fails on:
    [RACConvertStep.execute:193] STEP Result=Oracle home is not a cluster database home. Make sure that oracle binary is linked with RAC option and the Oracle home entry in Oracle inventory is updated with cluster node list.
    From rconfig:
    $ rconfig convert.xml
    <?xml version="1.0" ?>
    <RConfig version="1.1" >
    <ConvertToRAC>
    <Convert>
    <Response>
    <Result code="1" >
    Operation Failed
    </Result>
    <ErrorDetails>
    Oracle home is not a cluster database home. Make sure that oracle binary is linked with RAC option and the Oracle home entry in Oracle inventory is updated with cluster node list.
    </ErrorDetails>
    </Response>
    </Convert>
    </ConvertToRAC></RConfig>
    5. the orainventory inventory xml file has:
    6. We have this:
    Source database
    ORACLE_BASE=/oracle
    ORACLE_HOME=/oracle/db/112
    3- target database configuration
    ORACLE_BASE=/oracle/db
    ORACLE_HOME=/oracle/db/11.2.0.3
    4- RAC GRID_HOME
    ORACLE_BASE=/oracle
    GRID_HOME=/oracle/11.2.0/grid
    Has anyone seen this issue before with migrating with rconfig and if so, how did you resolve it?

    good to know. thanks for updating the thread with what was wrong, this will help the community if someone faces this issue.
