Single node asm

I am using asm on a single node 10gr3. When I try to create the second database, I get a message saying, oracle unable to start the asm, do you want start. I looked at it and I have the asm and the existing db up and running. Why am I getting the error message when I have the ASM up and how to proceed?
Thanks.

How did you create your original ASM instance? using DBCA? - Yes. I used dbca to create asm and db
Can you check if the ASM entry is present in ORATAB? - Yes.+ASM:/app/oracle/product/10.2.0/asm:N
+ASM:/app/oracle/product/10.2.0/db_1:N
fdev01:/app/oracle/product/10.2.0/db_1:N
You on Linux? - Yes RH4
Do you have enough resources for two instances and ASM on the one box? - 16gb memory and 2 core
Did you restart CSS? See Note:429214.1 I guess I am hitting this!
css.log output -
2008-04-23 12:36:47.258: [ CSSCLNT][2540983424]clsssInitNative: connect failed, rc 9
2008-04-23 12:36:49.925: [ CSSCLNT][2540983424]clsssInitNative: connect failed, rc 9
2008-04-23 12:36:52.592: [ CSSCLNT][2540983424]clsssInitNative: connect failed, rc 9
Should I just follow the below?
Please find below steps for resolving the issue. (Non -RAC cases only)
I don't see any files as mentioned below. Should the current asm and db be down? what does localconfig do?
1)Remove the following IPC socket files
# rm -f /usr/tmp/.oracle/*
# rm -f /tmp/.oracle/*
# rm -f /var/tmp/.oracle/*
(The location will vary across platforms. Files would be present in one of the above location)
2)Run the root.sh script again
3)Run the localconfig script
# $ORACLE_HOME/bin/localconfig delete
# $ORACLE_HOME/bin/localconfig add

  • Testing single node ASM on Amazon EC2

    Hi,
    I'm using the 32bit 11g EE AMI on EC2 and have attached 2 5 GB Elastic Block Storage units to /dev/sdf and /dev/sdg. What I would like to do is create an ASM instance using these 2 EBS volumes for testing purposes. Unfortunately on 11g you can't create an ASM instance without starting the cluster services even if it's a single node. When I try to start cluster services as root they always time out and never start. Is there some particular reason that this won't run on EC2? I'm just curious if you've seen anyone do ASM on 2 EBS volumes (even in test mode) and if so, how did they get it working.
    Thanks,
    Mark

    You need to change the /etc/inittab entry for cssd
    from: h1:35:respawn:/etc/init.d/init.cssd run >/dev/null 2>&1 </dev/null
    to: h1:345:respawn:/etc/init.d/init.cssd run >/dev/null 2>&1 </dev/null
    Then init q and cssd should start

    ...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!

  • Convert 11.1.0.7 EBS 12.1.3 single node to RAC with ASM on 11.2.0.3 cluster

    Hi
    I am trying to convert a single node 11.1.0.7 database with EBS 12.1.3 version from single to 2-node RAC ASM on Oracle clusterware 11.2.0.3 on AIX 6.1 - 64 bit
    I am following Oracle metalink document note id 466649.1 . My 11.2.0.3 clusterware is already setup correctly and working fine as per document E24614-03.
    However I am currently stuck in section 3.3:Configure TNS listener (Doc id : 466649.1) . The netca is unable to start the listener and failing with error as below.
    However when I start the same locally from lsnrctl command listener starts.

  • Multiple ASM instances on a single node

    Can i have multiple ASM instances on a single node? This is to have each instance supporting different environment dev,stage etc
    Thanks
    Sannidhi

    I had been discussing the same issue with someone from Oracle. I asked for multiple ASMs on a server so that we could have seperate ASMs running for, say, 10g and 11g.
    He explained that we should think of ASM as being the same as Veritas FileSystem. We don't run multiple instances of Veritas on our servers. On single Veritas "instance" (set of drivers) provides all the Veritas Fx mountpoints on the server. Similarly, there should be only 1 ASM instance on a server.
    (substitute UFS or ZFS or CFS for Veritas in the above example and you still have only 1 filesystem manager on a server providing one type of filesystem, although you could have, say , UFS and Veritas co-exist ; just as you could have Veritas, ASM and Raw co-exist on a server).

  • Multiple ASM Instances on single node

    Hi All,
    After going through some threads it seems to me that multiple ASM instances on a node is not supported and recommended by ORACLE but i coudn't find any ORACLE document or support matrix mentioning this. Can any one give me a pointer to this. Please correct me if i am wrong and Multiple ASM instances are fully supported by ORACLE.
    Thanks,

    Multiple ASM instances on a single node are supported but not recommended due to several issues you could encounter during that kind of configuration.
    Possible interraction between those instances for identification of each disk area usage,each disk area permissions , database instance to asm instance mapping and so on, could result in unwanted behaviour, as ASM is in some way just oracle's representation of LVM.
    Intention is that any kind of distinction/separation of oracle related data under the ASM should be done through the disk groups.
    So it seems it would be better to apply this kind of logic rather than doing suspiciously magical and rare configurations that could bring you similiary strange and unexpected problems.

  • Can ASM be used in single node 11g?

    I tried to create DB in 11g using ASM, but I was asked to create oracle CSS services (which is for RAC). of course it failed. My platform is oracle linux 5. As I remember 10g can use ASM (in Solaris), any one has idea about 11g? how to use ASM (not RAC)? (I already used ASM in RAC 11g)
    Thank you in advance.

    Although this is for Oracle 10gR2, here's a web page that might shed some light on your situation: Note that is says CSS is created automatically even if you don't use it.

    6.2 Removing Oracle Cluster Synchronization Services (CSS)
    The first time you install Oracle Database, Oracle Universal Installer configures and starts a single-node version of the Oracle Cluster Synchronization Services (CSS) service. The CSS service enables synchronization between an Automatic Storage Management (ASM) instance and the database instances that rely on it for database file storage. It is configured and started even if you do not choose Automatic Storage Management as a storage mechanism for database files.
    If you do not choose Automatic Storage Management as a storage option, you can delete OracleCSService. To delete this service without deleting the Oracle home, perform the following:

  • Single node file system to 3 node rac and asm migration

    hi,
    we have several utl_file and external table applications running on 10.2 single node veritas file system. and we want to migrate to 3 node RAC ASM environment. what is the best practices in order to succeed this migration during this migration. thanks.

    1. Patch to 10.2.0.3 or 10.2.0.4 if not already there.
    2. Dump Veritas from any future consideration.
    3. Build and validate the new RAC environment and then plug in your data using transportable tablespaces.
    Do not expect the first part of step 3 to work perfectly the first time if you do not have experience building RAC clusters.
    This means have appropriate hardware in place for perfecting your skills.
    Be sure, too, that you are not trying to do this with blade or 1U servers. You need a minimum of 2U servers to be able
    to plug in sufficient hardware to have redundant paths to storage and for cache fusion and public access (a minimum of 6 ports).
    And don't let any network admin try to convince you that they can virtualize the network paths: They can not do so successfully
    for RAC.

    Hi everyone.
    I need clone system with 3 application server and 2 oracle database RAC and ASM to single-node. The operating system is RHEL 5.
    I see some metalink notes, but we can't found nothing. I find notes with multi-node to single-node, but nothing with RAC to non-RAC.
    The eBS version is 11.5.10.2 and database version is 10.2.0.3
    Is possible this clone?

  • Install 10gr2 ASM on single node, need clusterware installe first?

    Install 10gr2 ASM on single node, Do I need install clusterware first?
    When I install clusterware on single node, it shows " the specified nodes are not clusterable"
    Thanks.

    ASM and clusterware are two separate things. Clusterware is required only if you are setting up a RAC environment, is this your case? If you are just planning to use ASM then proceed with the RDBMS (database disk) install and use the DBCA to perform ASM configuration. It is assumed you have the raw devices ready to setup the ASM instance. Once the ASM instance is ready you can create the database to use the ASM disks.

    2011-04-14 13:25:10: 'ROOTCRS_BOOTCFG' checkpoint has failed
    So this must be a bug. During root.sh execution ora.asm is OFFLINE but after failing it is ONLINE. It maight be a question of waiting/repeating or timeout as I see the "Checking the status of ora.asm" command is repeated several times during root.sh, but not enough perhaps. Now root.sh is failed, installation halted but ASM is ONLINE.
    Any other Idea?
    Thanks again.
