ASM disks on external storage

Is it possible to have discs ASM in Exadata in external storage, connected by any means (iSCSI, FCoE, IB)?

We are thinking of X 2-2 as main database machine, but to replace all current servers, storage needs would be larger than Exadata book (lots of almost-never-accessed PDF files).

What do you use on the no-exadata? iSCSI?

I created devices in a loop on a NFS mount for a single instance database. Definitely would not recommend them for anything else that test, because performance is not great by any means. If I were forced to choose a non-exadata for extra storage storage platform, I would probably go with iSCSI. Haven't tried yet, however.

  • 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

    Unfortunately, it is not possible to add external hard drive on the internal hard drive space. However, you can perform disk cleanup that can help you solve this problem.

  • What external storage disk is good?

    I want to buy I drive or external storage. I m from the India. Could someone recommend a good brand? I am owner of iPhone OS and iPad Air 2.

    External drives will not work with an iPhone or an iPad. You would need a wireless for external storage drive. There are any number of such around Seagate, Western Digital, etc. They should all be OK to use it.

  • ASM will support Extern and up at the same time?

    I'm confused.  If we have a group of redundant San who maintain the ASM disk group and our type is set to Extern, we put our confidence in snapshots, replication, and so on in the hands of the SAN.

    Can you have Extern and high?  You can have ASM diskgroup that lies on the SAN but too high?

    If you can not, then if you raised, and these starts on the SAN, what's the difference?  Are not often required database on a San with a server on the front-end server?

    ASM diskgroup redundancy and redundancy SAN are not the same and work completely different. You cannot use extern ASM and redundancy high at the same time.

    A San doesn't know anything about Oracle database files and redundancy is usually accomplished in RAID. ASM is not RAID and does not duplicate complete records. ASM data redundancy is based on failure of disk groups and file extensions. ASM knows by the way of the Oracle database files and automatically adjusts the deletion of data, which does not have a SAN. ASM has also the advantage of the storage size can be adjusted dynamically when the storage is online, without having to rebuild your storage devices. Rebuild or expand a SAN solution based RAID usually means to reset the storage.

    Beware of the features of snapshot and SAN replication because they cannot provide full backup or redundancy if you lose the full storage.

  • Not correct ASM disk size

    Hello

    Unbalanced disc can cause the missing disk free space does not allow to make any allocation to a disk group because each file should be evenly distributed across all disks by ASM political stripping.

    Configuration asymmetric discs and some operations on ASM disks can create this type of problem. Frequently, the problem must be resolved after a succesfull rebalance as much as all the drives have the same storage capacity, and there is no underlying hardware problem.
    The most common reasons may be the following:

    1 - the capacity of the disks within the ASM diskgroup are different
    2 - ASM instance is shutdowned normal/immediate before rebalancing is complete.
    3-disc is a FALL / HUNG State
    4. after an order to add disk rebalancing is still in place

    You can also try:

    ALTER DISKGROUP FRA CHECK ALL REPAIR;
    

    PS: Make sure you have these files on FRA was backed up somewhere safe.

  • ASM disk - based SAN LUN expansion

    Hi all
    I'm learning a bit about the ASM and best practices to follow properly set up/use it at its best.

    Using an external FC SAN storage, if I create a logical volume with a LUN number and expose this LUN to my server ASM, I can see it properly and add it to an ASM disk group.

    So far so good. After that, if I develop this LUN on the external storage (using the tools), I'm not able to see the new space of the DSO. Looks like Oracle somehow "partitioned" originally the LUN when I first added it to the instance of the DSO, and after the "marking" it, even if I increase the Volume, the "expansion" is not seen.

    Is there a way to tell ASM as ther IS actually more space available? If I "fdisk-l", I see the amount of space on the device. But the 'blocks' are always the old value...

    I know that the creation of another logic unit number and adding to the disk group, there is no problem, but I would rather be able to expand an existing LUN on my external storage to create new LUNS on it all the time... Please help me understand if what I have in mind is correct or not on a best practices perspective.

    Thanks for any help.

    Yes you're right. Add the 20 GB lun, you can with 0 downtime and then remove the old 10GB of the diskgroup lun (assuming that you don't change the 10 GB to 20 GB :)) If you hold rebalance low power, Re-balance I/O will be even not worth the performance system IO too muchl.) But the problem here is that hesitate to use only a single lun 20 GB as the entire disk to ASM diskgroup. If you increase the number of LUNs (disks asm) even by creating separate volumes on the same physical disks you will increase the number of logical I/O paths which contributes to the homogeneity of distrubution of I/O.

    Hi all

    My MBP internal SSD is full so I want to move all the data from iTunes to external storage.

    I found how to move the library which was pretty easy.

    How can I move my backup files to iPad and iPhone? It seems to be more difficult to achieve.

    Thanks in advance

    Not difficult, read here:

    Manage and backup your iTunes media library - Apple Support

    Two things to remember:

    the first time you open iTunes after move your library: hold down the ALT (option) and iTunes point to where you put the library on the external drive. iTunes will remember that.

    When you want to use iTunes to make sure that this disk is attached.

  • HP Envy 15-j139TX: the BIOS using external storage recovery does not work.

    My HP Envy 15-j139TX got stuck (frozen) and I force closure by long pressing the power button. I tried to start by pressing the power button, it shows a black screen (display off) and the capslock continues to Flash.

    I did research on the problem and discovered that the issue was "the BIOS corruption failure" according to the information on the link below:

    http://support.HP.com/us-en/document/c01732674/

    I tried to recover the BIOS using an external storage device by following the instructions at the link below:

    http://support.HP.com/us-en/document/c02693833

    But it did not work. The lights keep flashing. I have my files b.SC. thesis on the computer and their need for pronto. (If not my life is pretty well made)

    I also couldn't find the files for version 10 of Windows (64-bit) to my laptop, so I tried with one I downloaded from another site and I got a BIOS of Windows 8.1 HP site.

    Is there anyway I can fix it soon or get my files as soon as possible. Help, please!

    Have you ever updated the BIOS before?

    If you have, you should be able to recover the BIOS using the Windows key + key B method.

    All holding the key Windows + B button down, press the power button and wait to see if the laptop responds with a message of recovery of the BIOS on screen.

    As my wife continued his mastery, I insisted on his recording of his files periodically to our home network NAS.

    You can remove the hard drive and connect it to a desktop computer to get the files from it. You can connect the hard drive to a USB to sata cable to connect it to a laptop.   Instructions to access the disk by opening the back door are on page 42 of the maintenance and service guide. The hard drive is part replaceable by the user, so you don't have to worry about voiding the warranty.

    Your notebook is new enough to have the recovery key enter BIOS update available. Use the F.65 version in the Windows 8.1 driver download section. the softpaq is at the following ADDRESS.

  • 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.
