SSD and ASM configurations

Hello all,
Although I realize that the question of configuration on ASM regarding the use of SSD storage devices is, or should be mote at this point.
I still see, from time to time, questions and discussions on this topic in the other forms.
I am wondering if it would be possible to create such a forum just to discuss these questions?
But then where do you put it?
Should this be a storage section for SSD?
Database ASM storage or a subset or either?
What do you think?

No.
If you have an ASM question, post it to the ASM discussion space.
If you happen to have a question dealing with a Sun/Oracle branded piece of storage hardware such as an array or a tape library, it goes here.
You posted today's question to the storage HARDWARE discussion space.
It doesn't belong here.

  • Oracle database 10g RAC and ASM configuration

    Hi all,
    I want to ask to everybody something about Oracle 10g RAC and ASm configuration. We plan to migrate to Oracle 10g from 9i, and we will begin configuring oracle but we have to decide which configuration are the best.
    Our materials are bellow:
    Hardware: RP 3440 (HP)
    OS : HPUX 11i Ver 1
    Storage: EVA 4000 (eva disk group)
    The problem is:
    Our supplier recommand us to use HP serviguard + HP serviceguard extension for RAC+ RAc and Raw device as configuration.
    But we want to use Oracekl Clusterware + RAC + ASM
    My question is if anybody know what is the best configuration, we want to use ASm.
    Can we use HP serviguard and ASM.
    Some documentations or link explain oracle RAC and ASM configuration will be appreciate.
    Thanks for your help.

    Hello,
    there's no extra RAC software package, but the option is only offered, if one of the supported cluster layers for the respective OS has been installed before.
    10.1.0.3 looks like a complete redesign, but anyway it is a patch, you have to install 10.1.0.2 first.

  • IMac SSD and HDD configuration from scratch, major issues

    Hello.
    I'm having a major problem with my iMac (July 2010 27" 2.8ghz).  I recently operated on this guy and installed a 2TB HDD and a 256GB SSD.  I backed up my previous setup using CCC onto a separate external HDD.  I installed a "fresh" version of OSX Mountain Lion onto the SSD and used Migration Assitant to transfer my applications and user settings. I then copied over the itunes folder and photos library folder over to the HDD.  However, I cannot access the libraries of either using the SSD.  I hold option down while opening either Aperture or Itunes and I am not allowed to select either of the libraries.  Infact the iTunes one is grayed out and the folder holding the Aperture Library is locked (Red circle with a white dash).
    Ultimately what I want to do is have the SSD provide the system and the applications and have my music, videos, and photos on the HDD.  I have been reading all sorts of boards but I can't get anything to work.  I'll completely start from scratch if needed.
    BTW the SSD is so fast on this machine.
    Thanks in advance for all of your help.

    My boot drive uses under 60Gig for Win7 & CS5 MC & MS Office & several small programs,
    with my Windows paging/swap file directed to another drive
    My 3 hard drives for video editing are configured as...
    1 - 320Gig Boot for Win7 64bit Pro and ALL program installs (2)
    2 - 320Gig data for Win7 paging swap file and video project files
    When I create a project on #2 drive, the various work files follow,
    so my boot drive is not used for the media cache folders and files
    3 - 1Terabyte data for all video files... input & output files (1)
    (1) for faster input/output if you have 4 drives
    - use drive 3 for all source files
    - use drive 4 for all output files
    (2) only 60Gig used, for Win7 & CS5 MC & MS Office & other smaller programs
    Search Microsoft to find out how to redirect your Windows paging swap file

    Hi,
    I want to use RAC for clustering. My shared disk is a NetApp Filer FS250 that can only be mounted throught NFS. RAW devices have to be excluded, alsi OCFS i think works similar to raw devices and need to see phisical disk to create partition. ASM instead can work on an NFS mount?

  • Can I configure a new imac with separate ssd and hd

        I don't know for sure if it's been announced so this information may not be out there and I realize we are not supposed to speculate. Havinvg said that can anyone comment on whether it will be possible to configure a new iMac with both and SSD and HD drive without using a fusion drive?
       For video editing I don't think I want a fusion drive. I'm either going to get a refurb soon or wait ... and the whole fusion thing is such an unknown for video editing. If I order without more vid editing information  with regard to a fusion drive I'd probably want an SSD boot and internal.... I'd use my externals for most work but an ssd plus internal hd would be nice.
       thoughts?

    Based on the tech specs here, it appears the 27" iMac has one space for hard drive, fusion drive, or SSD, which are orderable on a build-to-order system.

  • Cloning 11i non split to split configuration with RAC and ASM

    Hello Hussein,
    I just want to ask some ideas on what is the best way to clone our UAT/DEV environment to our PROD environment.
    Right now no RAC and ASM setup for the source system still 9.2.0.5 but the plan is to convert to ASM + 10g RAC.
    Can you please let me know on what is the best way to setup PROD out of our UAT environment?
    Here's my options:
    1. Install a fresh prod system
    2. Convert source system to ASM + RAC before cloning to target - setup as below:
    (Source)
    APPS server - 32bit
    DB server (2 node RAC + ASM) - 32bit
    (Target)
    APPS server - 32bit
    DB server (2 node RAC + ASM) - 64bit
    3. Clone existing target system (non RAC and non ASM)
    copy source APPL directories to target
    Install 64 bit Oracle 10g to the target system
    clone/convert database source (9i 32bit) to database targer (10g 64 bit) using RMAN.
    Install clusterware 11gR2
    Convert database to RAC
    Can you please let me know on what is the best approach to do this? For fresh install it will take some time to apply the current patch level and applying other patches.
    For Option 2, seems a bit complicated to do 32bit - 64 bit cloning on RAC. Appreciated if you can provide doc id for this.
    For Option 3, not sure how smooth the conversion from 32bit to 64bit.
    Appreciate your insights on this.
    Regards,
    jeffrey

    Hi Jeffrey,
    Since you are on 9.2.0.5, I assume you are running Oracle Apps 11i and not R12.
    1. Install a fresh prod systemThis option requires applying all patches (as you mentioned above) plus you will have to convert to ASM/RAC on the source/target instance. I would not recommend this approach since would require extra work/time.
    2. Convert source system to ASM + RAC before cloning to target - setup as below:
    (Source)
    APPS server - 32bit
    DB server (2 node RAC + ASM) - 32bit
    (Target)
    APPS server - 32bit
    DB server (2 node RAC + ASM) - 64bitWhat are the source and target database version?
    As per (Certified RAC Scenarios for E-Business Suite Cloning [ID 783188.1]) this is supported by Rapid Clone. So, in this case you need to convert the source instance to RAC and migrate to ASM then use Rapid Clone to clone the application/database.
    Cloning Oracle Applications Release 11i with Rapid Clone [ID 230672.1] -- 6. Cloning a RAC System
    You will have to convert the target database then from 32-bit to 64-bit.
    3. Clone existing target system (non RAC and non ASM)
    copy source APPL directories to target
    Install 64 bit Oracle 10g to the target system
    clone/convert database source (9i 32bit) to database targer (10g 64 bit) using RMAN.
    Install clusterware 11gR2
    Convert database to RAC Here you will have to convert to RAC/ASM on both the source/target instances -- You are eliminating the patches part in Option 1, but again extra work need to be done to convert the database from 32-bit to 64-bit on the target instance + convert to RAC and migrate to ASM (on both instances).
    Based on the above, I would recommend and suggest you go with Option 2.
    Thanks,
    Hussein

  • How do I merge two seperate HD's into one.  I upgraded my MBP to an SSD and installed a hybrid in the optical bay.

    I intially planned to use my cloned system on the SSD and the Hybrid to be used as backup, media, whatever else.  But I only had access to certain program on another MBP and so I cloned it to a partition on the Hybrid.  So basically I have two seperate computers each isolated from one another.  I have two startup disks, 2 seperate everything.  And I have to be careful when syncing my dropbox and a myriad of issues when swithing from one to the other.  So does anyone have any questions about this or any suggestions as to how I can merge the 2 so that I can run the initial configuration I desired.  Oh and the performance between the Momentus XT hybrid and the Intel-520 ssd are getting closer and closer as time goes by that I almost don't notice a difference, grnted my MBP is only backward compatible to 3gbs so I don't get the performance of the 6gbps capabilities of the intel.  But GD its awesome. 
    I really would appreciate any suggestions.  the machine is 15" MBP mid 2010 with 10.8.2.

    I don't know that copying them from an external would be any different than doing it internally because they are physically seperated.  I have tried many different configurations.  It won't let me erase or format the SSD so that I can clone the Hybrid to it. Which is what I prefer to do but I haven't boot from the recovery or an external and tried doing it that way.  But even then I have to boot from each seperately, what is holding me up is I've lost both product keys to office and adobe ms 6 due to the fact of not only having them so long and always upgrade using dmg's as well as upgrading os's so often.  So those programs are only available on one computer. Which happens to be on a seperate internal disk.  A slick unix script would be nice.  I am just really tired of trial and error and would like to get back to using my stuff.

  • How to reuse the same disk (partition) for next ASM configuration?

    Hello All,
    I had successfully installed and configured ASM instance once, but I need to do a reinstallation and I would like to use the same disk (partition) as with previous ASM configuration.
    The disk path used was: /dev/rdsk/c1t3d0s7
    I have to regretfully admit that I may not have used the right ASM un-installation procedure. I ran installer and opted to de-install products. Consequently, I had removed ASM home. Now, when I running new ASM installation, everything goes fine until the screen where I should select disks for ASM configuration. Unfortunately, I see the /dev/rdsk/c1t3d0s7 with status > MEMBER < and I can't select it for the new ASM installation.
    I will really appreciate if anyone can let me know how to change status from MEMBER to CANDIDATE.
    Thank you for your time.
    DanielD

    Overwrite the first several MB of the partition with /dev/zero.
    So, use this command:
    # dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/rdsk/c1t3d0s7 bs=1024k count=10
    That clears out the ASM header on the disk so that it looks like a clean disk again.

  • Installed SSD and Windows 7, now notebook won't boot

    I replaced my Windows 8.1 hard drive with a PNY 240GB SSD and Windows 7 64 bit.  Everything worked great! Installed all drivers, everything worked great!  Rebooted many times, everything worked great!  Shutdown notebook for the night, next morning I turn on notebook and get this error message:
     "boot device not found, please install an operating system on your hard disk, hard disk 3F0".
    I went through the various repair procedures using Windows 7 repair disk with no change.  I reinstalled Windows 7 with SSD formated as GPT drive, got the same error message:
     "boot device not found, please install an operating system on your hard disk, hard disk 3F0".
    I reinstalled Windows 7 withs SSD formated as MBR drive, got the same error message:
     "boot device not found, please install an operating system on your hard disk, hard disk 3F0".
     I removed the SSD from the notebook and placed it in a desktop pc, pc works great, no problems with SSD.  Placed SSD back in notebook, got the same error message:   "boot device not found, please install an operating system on your hard disk, hard disk 3F0".   I don't know where to go from here.
    Help please.....
    This question was solved.
    View Solution.

    How did you set secure boot and legacy boot in the BIOS? I actually have a very closely related (17t-j029nr) model laptop HP loaned me for my work here and ran a PNY 240 gig SSD in it for a while so it is not a matter of compatibility. Does your laptop have the 32 gig acceleration cache drive in it? Those can be a little complex to configure with an SSD.

    Yes, I do. Healthy drives don't timeout on simple DMA initialization requests.
