  IBM AIX 6.1
  
  
  Hi guys,.
  
  I am facing a problem by reinstalling RAC Database on 2 nodes.
  
  Earlier, we had configured on these nodes RAC database. But due to a corruption of storage level we had to remove the software.
  
  No command srvctl or dbca was not working. All of these binary files have been corrupted. So to remove the Oracle software using the rm - rf command.
  
  Now, while trying to reinstall, it shows, those ASM disk groups are already members of the diskgroup. And these discs cannot be selected for the Diskgroup we strive to create. This is probably due to not be uninstalled correctly.
  
  How to overcome this problem?

  Format of the first two blocks on the device in order to remove the old label of ASM disk. The dd command can be used.

  For example
  If DD \u003d/dev/zero of = count = 4 bs = 1024

• 11 GR 2 Grid Infrastructure install - with normal redundancy ASM disk group requires 3 disks?

  
  Hello

  I want to install 11 GR 2 grid Infrastructure in a new environment in cluster - 2 nodes). I use the 11.2.0.4 GI Installer on Oracle Linux 6.5 x 86-64

  However when it is in the installer of GI, it comes to choose the storage Option - I choose ASM disk groups.

  Then change the path of discovery to pick up my candidate ASM disks.

  I enter the disk group name SIR give Normal redundancy, choose 2 discs of candidate and then press < next > to Setup.

  However, I gives me the message

  [INS-30510] Insufficient number of ASM disks selected

  The number of selected disks was inadequate for the level of redundancy selected

  For a disk group with redundancy level "Normal" disks at least "3" are recommended

  I always thought that Redunancy Normal required only 2 discs and high redundancy requires 3 disks?

  No idea what is gpoing?

  Thank you

• Remove/add question ASM Disk

  Hi all
  
  I have a small question-
  
  We have an ASM Diskgroup that had 8 drives in it. I removed 2 Diskss and the Diskgroup has been rebalanced. I did not do anything with the disks removed.
  
  They both appear in the target of the DSO as qualified to add in the Diskgroup.
  
  Do I need to re-format/partition/create disc on them before adding them back in? Existing data on the Diskl would cause a problem in the Diskgroup?
  
  This is the first time I'll add back discs that were previously in the Diskgroup.
  
  Thanks in advance for the advice.
  
  Michele

  Hello

  Disks can be assigned to a diskgroup must have the status of 'CANDIDATE' or 'OLD' or 'CONFIGURED '.

  · CANDIDATE - disk is not part of a disk group and may be added to a disk with the ALTER DISKGROUP statement group

  · Provisioned - disk is not part of a disk group and may be added to a disk with the ALTER DISKGROUP statement group. The status of CONFIGURED header is different from the
  Header in the CONFIGURED one CANDIDATE country status means that an additional platform-specific action was taken by an administrator to allow the ASM disk.

  · FORMER - disk was once part of a disk group, but has been removed itself from the group. It can be added to a new group of disks with the ALTER DISKGROUP statement.

  The ALTER DISKGROUP... REMOVE the DRIVE without option statement WAITING returns before the fall and rebalancing are completed. Do not re-use, remove or disconnect drive fell to the HEADER_STATUS column for this disc in the view V$ ASM_DISK changes to the FORMER.

  You can't change anything at the OS level. Oracle will reuse without needs asmdisk perform all administrative tasks at the level of the BONE.

• Reinstallation of Oracle 11 g 2 RAC grid problem - ASM disk group

  People,
  
  Hello.
  
  I want to install Oracle 11 g RAC 2 with 2 Virtual Machines (rac1 and rac2 which BONES are Oracle Linux 5.6) in VMPlayer.
  
  I was installing Infrastructure of grid using runInstaller in the first rac1 VM from step 1 to step 9/10.
  
  On 9/10 in the wizard step, by chance, I touch the mouse, and the wizard disappeared.
  
  The grid in the 2 VMs installation directory is the same: / u01
  
  I have to make sure that everything is correct, delete the directory/U01 to 2 virtual machines and install again the grid in rac1.
  
  I realized that this is not the right way to remove/U01. The right way is to follow the tutorial
  http://docs.Oracle.com/CD/E11882_01/install.112/e22489/rem_orcl.htm#CBHEFHAC
  
  But I have deleted/U01 and must correct one by one. I reinstall the grid and get the error message in step 5 of 9 as follows:
  
  [INS - 30516] Please specify unique disk groups.
  [INS-3050] ASM disk group empty.
  Cause - the installer has detected the name of Group of disk already exists on the system.
  Action - specify the different disk group.
  
  In the wizard, the old disk group name is 'DATA' and his candidate records (5 ASMDISKs) are gone. I try to use another name "DATA2", but no ASMDISKs are "candidate records. For "All discs", it is impossible to select all ASMDISKs.
  
  I want to use the same disk group ASM 'DATA' and do not want to create a new disk group.
  
  My question is:
  
  How to make previous ASM disks and his group of 'DATA' therefore "Candidate records" who can use again?
  
  
  Thank you.

• os vs ASM disk size

  Hello

  When I compare the size of the operating system disks, each is 2.6 to.

  But when I look at ASM, they are 2 TB each.

• If you use network storage, configure ASM disks with external redundancy groups

  Hi Experts,

  If you use network storage, configure ASM disks with external redundancy groups. Don't use groups of Oracle ASM failure. Oracle failure groups consume cycles additional CPU and can run in unpredictable ways after suffering from a disk failure. When you use external redundancy, disk failure are transparent to the database and do consume no additional database CPU cycle, because it is discharged on storage processors.

  This does not mean

  • RAID 1 + 0 for diskgroup + REDO1
  • RAID 1 + 0 for diskgroup + REDO2
  • RAID 5 for diskgroup + DATA
  • RAID 5 for diskgroup + FRA

  Is this one suggested, the recommended best practices for oracle on VMWARE?

  
  

  Thank you and best regards,

• Resync ASM disk in 12 c

  Hello

  Please can someone tell what is the difference between ASM resynchronization and consolidation of disk drive?

  Are they different? If so, what is re-synchronization happens and when to rebalance?

  Thank you

  Fast ASM disk Resync is used to recovery failure a failure to make temporarily unavailable group is considered transient failures.

  As the disconnection of the cable, controller failures or interruptions of supply disk or host bus adapter current.

  You just put a time (duration) where ASM Diskgroup will be to track all the changes up to recover this failure. If records are retrieved using the last State when, down disc Resync then update all the blocks on the disk recovered from survive failgroup.

  If drive failure is not picked up within the window of time, records are automatically removed from the diskgroup.

  The process of adding these drive broke diskgroup start the rebalancing process.

  Resynchronization occurs when updating the out-of-sync disk track.

  Rebalancing occurs when data are not balanced or when to add new disc on diskgroup.

• Antivirus with ASM disk considerations

  Hi all

  We are currently running Oracle 10 g on Windows Server 2008 R2 using file storage system.  We seek to upgrade to 11g and use of ASM disks rather than the file system.  I am aware that there are many considerations here, but I have been asked specifically about how RAW disks and our antivirus will interact.  For the moment, we use the Center Endpoint Protection system on the database server, and then exclude us certain types of files associated with Oracle (DBF, CTL etc.).  This configuration meets the DBA and infrastructure.  Once we start using ASM if, something will have to change because we will not be able to exclude specific file types.

  I would be interested in advice / opinion that anyone was around that.  More precisely:

  1. is it possible for a disc of ASM to be infected by a virus?

  2. the AV software is even capable of preventing infections on ASM disks? (maybe its not relevant according to the answer to the first question)

  3. we are likely to see some performance issues with AV software running on our database server, because the current set up described above works fine but is replaced by ASM disks?

  Any help or advice welcome

  Thank you

  Andrew

  Disc GROSS means that there is no file system. No virus software can analyze the volumes of the ASM, which can only be used by an Oracle database and what data structure is known only for Oracle. Unless you install any ACF volume, which allows the storage of ASM data that can be accessed by the operating system, software Anti Virus cannot analyze data.

  However, the Anti Virus software can interfere with e/s of Oracle applications, which you will certainly not want and that has really no sense. Unfortunately, any installation which is connected to the Internet without any protection against the malware running MS Windows is a suicide. To be honest, I never want to install and run the Oracle database on a MS-Windows Server and see no valid reason for it. There are much better alternatives, such as Oracle Linux, which is also free.

• Analyze the index on the machine of Dataguard and redundancy of ASM disks

  Dear friends,

  I have two questions regarding disc Dataguard and ASM.

  (> > 1) for best performance, periodically, we rebuild the index index and analysis analyze table. What is the best periodic steps to do to get better performance?

  I mean, first of all is rebuilding of index, is second index analysis and so on......

  (> > 2) if I run analyze the index or the table on my PRODUCTION system he replicated this effect on statndby dataguard automatic system? If so, how it is replicated?

  (> > 3) my last question related with high redundancy of the ASM disk. I have some confusion on this area.

  Let's say I have 10 disks in a diskgroup '+ DATA' and I did 'HIGH' level redundancy, means 3 way redundancy. Here I know 3-way the redundancy, it writes data on 3 discs at a time. But what of the other 7 discs. In fact, I need to know the mechanism of writing?

  -Each disc is identical to the other drive?

  -For HIGH redundancy, how many disk failure can be tolerated for any loss of data?

  Waiting for your kind reply......

  "on my PRODUCTION'---> you mean"on my FIRST.

  Yes, the data dictionary is updated when you run dbms_stats.gather% and updates data dictionary are through recovery that applies to the WAITING for more.

  NOLOGGING surgery would not be applied to the expectation (the index would be marked corrupted to the standby) unless you have set on FORCELOGGING.
