Shutdown ASM instance

as oracle says regarding shutdown ASM instance normal and immediate options:
ASM waits for any in progress SQL to complete before performing an orderly dismount of all the disk groups and shutting down the ASM instance, if any database instance are connected to the ASM instance , the Shutdown command returns error and leaves the ASM instance running.
i have just got confused , which sql would asm instance waits to complete if it is going to return an error if any database instance is connected?

You can use sqlplus and connect to the ASM instance as sysasm to configure diskgroups, perform maintenance or upgrades, for example. ASM does not know about transactions in databases that are connected to the ASM instance. Databases are simply connected or not.

  • Shutdown ASM instance with database up???

    While reading through the Apex installation guide I ran across this statement:
    If Automatic Storage Management (ASM) is running, shut down all databases that
    use ASM except for the database where you will install Oracle Application
    Express, and then shut down the ASM instance.
    .... uh, leaving the one ASM based database up .. with the ASM instance itself shut down?
    Am I mis-reading? Or do I have a fundamental flaw in my understanding of the relationship of the ASM instance with the database instances?

    Included .. but upgrades of Apex?
    Ed, upgrading Apex is fairly safe.
    However, do not merely rely on a datapump/export of the current Apex schema as backup, prior to installing the upgrade (creating a new schema). Reason: there are objects installed as SYS which will be overwritten by the upgrade, and not exported by the backup. [have an outstanding feature request filed with Apex team to fix this - there are no reasons for using SYS for app objects]
    Which is why I prefer a logical backup instead - an Apex export of apps and workspaces. This can be done via the command line. There is a Java program/jar for Apex that supports CLI access to automatically export all apps in all workspaces. I have a cron job that does this every night on all our databases as Apex apps are not made of the type of code one can checkout and edit from a traditional source code repository,
    What is not exported, is extra content such as images, custom style sheets and so on (static contents). But is it a better idea to have static contents served by the web server, rather than via a db server session.
    Apex is pretty kewl - one of the better web frameworks for Oracle that we've been using since Marvel/HTMLDB days. Some niggles. But overall an excellent product.

  • Install Instr. Says "Shutdown ASM Instance" Before Installing ApEx. Why?

    We have installed 11gR2 database. Now we are looking at chapter 4 of the ApEx 3.2 installation guide. One of the pre-install requirements says to shut down the ASM instance. Is it referring to the ASM Instance for the database that we are installing ApEx? It seems quite unclear because the database where we are installing ApEx is supposed to be running.
    Why is it necessary to shut down the ASM instance?
    Thanks,
    Gregory

    Gregory:
    That step is no longer mentioned in the 4.0 installation guide.
    In 11gR2, Application Express 3.2 is included in the database, unless you explicitly deselelcted that option when creating the database. After backing up the database, I would start with "4.3 Choosing an HTTP Server" in the installation guide and go from there.

  • Rebooting the server with ASM instance............

    Hi folks
    I have to go for reboot of the server as I am adding a RAW device for having one more mount and also will be adding a disk to disk group.
    1) alter diskgroup diskgroupname add disk '/u09'; Is this correct to add a new disk to the diskgroup of ASM instance?
    2) I will have to shutdown all the six instances within the ASM instance and shutdown the ASM instance? Is this correct
    After a successfull Rebbot is done
    3) I will have to startup the ASM instance first and one by one startup the other six instances? Is it the right sequence.
    Please reply at the earliest.
    Thanks
    Shiva

    Hi
    If you want to shutdown the server to add the RAW device then:
    1. Shutdown all instances but shutdown ASM instance in the end.
    2. Shutdown server and add the RAW device.
    3. Startup server
    4 Add the diskgruop and also you can increase the value of rebalance parameter.
    5. Start all the instances that are using this ASM instance.
    Hope this Help

  • Correct steps to reload ASM disks into a running ASM instance on Linux RHEL

    Hi guys,
    i hope this is the correct forum, awfully i did not found any document specifically talking abou this.
    first of all let me explain quickly my goal: in my server (it contains the same data of 3 production RACs for reporting purposes) i would like to shutdown a single instance (i have 3) and realod his disks to refresh the data or because for some reason its mount into ASM is failed.
    this is a mix of Oracle ASM and Linux stuff...
    on this server there is a shell script that perform the following steps:
    1) shutdown 3 instances of 11g (11.2.0.2.0 with patch for asm already installed for bug... dont remember)
    2) shutdown ASM instance
    3) stop ASMLIB
    4) stop multipathd
    5) remove all disks devices from linux
    6) take a snapshot on the 3 production RACs
    7) remap the disks to this server (SAN stuff)
    8) rescan the disks
    9) start ASMLIB
    10) start ASM instance
    11) mount the DiskGroups
    12) start 3 oracle instances
    this works fine... my problem is when i try to refresh the disks of just 1 of the 3 instances, i perform the following steps:
    1) stop instance ABC
    2) dismount ABC diskgroups related to ABC instance
    3) wait 5 seconds (dont ask... if idid it without ASM still have the disks locked)
    4) delete the ASMLIB disks (oracleasm deletedisk XYZ) relate to such diskgroups
    5) remove mpaths related to the disks that need to be refreshed or correctly mounted oneagain
    6) remove devices
    7) unmap disks on SAN
    8) take snapshot (clone disks)
    9) map disks from SAN
    10) delete bindings file
    11) rescan devices
    12) execute multipath command (to rebuild bindings file)
    13) execute oracleasm scandisks
    14) mount DiskGroups
    15) start instance ABC
    actually i dont understand why the OS (or specifically ASMLIB) do not recognize me anymore one of the ASMLIB disk
    do you have any idea ? or im completly crazy doing that ?
    best regards,
    Luca

    Hi,
    well this step
    4) delete the ASMLIB disks (oracleasm deletedisk XYZ) relate to such diskgroups
    is not good. Because it will clear the ASM Header and as a result ASM will never again be able to detect the disks.
    So it is clear that "scnadisks" later will not see the disks, because you wiped them.
    Worse: You did the snapshot after deleting them... this gets tricky to get them "repaired" again.
    However there is the possibility to relabel a dropped ASM disks. You need to open an SR for this, since the procedure to restore the lost ASM header is not that simple..
    Regards
    Sebastian

  • Shutting down ASM instance in 11.2 RAC

    DB version : 11.2.0.2
    Platform : Solaris 10 / AIX 6.1
    2-node RAC
    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.

  • Proble shutting down ASM instance on Windows 2003 server.

    Hi,
    Before booting the windows 2003 server, I am trying to shutdown the ASM instance and it is just siiting there without any response. This is a 10g database and a 2003 server.

    Thanks for your response. Yes I did stopped the database. I was having the same problem with the database ( as it was sitting there after I issued the shutdown immediate ). Finally I had to do shutdown abort, start up in restrict mode and do a shutdown again to stop the database gracefully

  • Two ASM instance on one machine

    Can we have two ASM instance on one machine ? My Manager is saying he is positive and I don't have anything to show him that we can not do that. Is there any link, document anything available for this ?
    Thanks

    Keyur,
    This is an interesting question. I have seen references where in it clearly says that only one ASM instance is required per node irrespective of number of databases on a node. But, I haven't seen a clear indication, wherein it is mentioned that you can't start more than 1 ASM instances on a node. Therefore, I thought, I would give it a shot, by attempting to bring up a second ASM instance and here is what I get:
    SQL> startup nomount pfile=init+ASM5.ora
    ORA-00304: requested INSTANCE_NUMBER is busy
    SQL>
    If I shutdown my ASM1 (first ASM instance) then it allows me to bring up the ASM5 instance. This leads me to believe that you can't startup up more than one ASM instance on a single node.
    Here is a note, which mentions that you need only one ASM instance per node. https://metalink.oracle.com/metalink/plsql/docs/ASM%20best%20practices.pdf
    Thanks

    You are nearly right. You export the ASM ORACLE_SID (and ASM ORACLE_HOME), then startup from SQL*Plus.
    Then, once ASM instance is up & running, you export the Database ORACLE_SID (and Database ORACLE_HOME, if different to the ASM ORACLE_HOME), then startup from SQL*Plus.

    I've tried to reconfigure HAS through (as root):
    $GRID_HOME/crs/install/roothas.pl -deconfig -force -verbose
    $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:
    $ uname -a
    Linux pc 2.6.32-220.13.1.el6.x86_64 #1 SMP Tue Apr 17 23:56:34 BST 2012 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

  • Would oracle start ASM instance automatically?

    Hi there,
    I experienced this yesterday while testing my scripts.
    I wrote couple of unix shell scripts (OEL) - one to shutdown all DBs (which, at the end shuts down the ASM instance as well) and the second one to start all the DBs.
    In the second one, I forgot to inclde the commands to startup the ASM instance first and executed the script. I noticed there were no errors during the DB startup (which included the DB that uses ASM) and when I checked the output of "ps -ef | grep pmon", +ASM instance was already up and running.
    So the ASM instance was started up automatically - I wonder if this is how it should be?
    If this is normal, should I forget about adding ASM instance startup commands to the second shell script?
    Regards

    RegardsWhat is the version?
    If 11gR2 , ASM home will come automatically i.e. diskgroups will be mounted.
    or check is there any script mentioned in init.d something like http://www.oracle-base.com/articles/linux/AutomatingDatabaseStartupAndShutdownOnLinux.php

  • Can there be multiple ASM instances on single node?

    Hi,
    Can there be multiple ASM instances on single node?
    This one says No : http://www.freelists.org/archives/oracle-l/02-2008/msg00317.html
    And This one says Yes : http://www.databasejournal.com/features/oracle/article.php/3571371
    Thanks in advance.
    Thanks,

    ...that document doesnt say you cannot have multiple ASM instances on a node. It says "...ASM, +you only need one ASM+ instance for that computer, to manage the two database instances that use ASM."
    The fact that you only need one - and I cannot think of a good reason to have more than one - does not preclude the fact that you do seem to be able to have multiple ASM instances on a single node, each looking after its own set of disks and diskgroups.
    Again - I cannot think of a good reason to do so though!

  • Upgrade ASM instance database 10g to 11g

    Hi,
    In my environment, I have ASM instance database 10.2.0.3 running on solaris 10 (64-bit), I need to upgrade to ASM instance 11.1.0.6 database. please guide me an overview of steps...
    thanks in advance

    Thanks for the response,
    Sorry, In my environment I know database (10.2.0.3) is mounted in ASM diskgroups, now i have a concern
    1) If database is mounted in ASM diskgroups, could it be a database instance or it has to be only ASM instance connected to the database?
    2) As in my upgrade from ASM instance (10.2.0.3) to ASM instance (11.1.0.6), do we need to upgrade asm instance as well as database? i mean to invoke DBUA twice for upgrading ASM instance then for upgrading database as well?
    Sorry for some silly questions...please make me clear...
    Regards
