  SIR of a node will drop if you shutdown ASM instance in this node?

  Yes. You will need to first stop the battery Oracle Clusterware on the node on which you must stop the Oracle ASM instance.
  Use "crsctl stop cluster node_name - n" or "crsctl stop crs" for this purpose.

  Since you are using OCR and VOTING DISK on ASM, it is not possible only stop ASM and keep cluster running.

  I have two RAC nodes in the program of production installation and test setup. OCR and voting disks (vd) are in ASM, I can stop the ASM instance?
  
  -Kumar

  Hi Kumar,

  No, we can't.

  Best practice is that you need to stop the battery Oracle Clusterware on the node on which you must stop the Oracle ASM instance.

  Use "crsctl stop cluster node_name - n" or "crsctl stop crs" for this purpose.

  It could be that useful...

  create a disk group or use an existing disk group that matches your redundancy needs

  ===============
  1 ensure that the clusterware version 11.2.0
  # crsctl query crs activeversion
  Oracle Clusterware version active on the cluster is [11.2.0.1.0]

  2. replace the OCR file by the asm disk group

• can ocr and vote files resident on the same disc?

  Hello

  We use 11.2.0.3 on linux.

  When I created OCRVOTE diskgroup with 5 raw disks, oracle created default 3 discs with right of vote and rest 2 discs to keep the OCR files.

  But when I created OCRVOTE diskgroup with 5 raw disks, I have found that all 3 disks are votingdisks and OCR, also located in the same diskgroup.

  Hello

  Check: RAC: frequently asked Questions (Doc ID 220970.1)

  How the registry of Cluster Oracle (OCR) is retained when using ASM?

  https://support.Oracle.com/epmos/faces/DocContentDisplay?ID=220970.1

  > Oracle instructor is to show that scopes are spread over only 2 discs among the 8 discs.

  As far as I understand:

  What Oracle instructor shows an example of how is stored the mirror of the measure where OCR has been stored, it has used a simple example with only 2 measure showing a measure and a mirror of measure on different failgroup, does not mean wich used only OCR 2 measure or use only 2 asmdisk.

  In this case, Oracle will use all failgroups placing a (primary) measure in each failgroup and store a copy of the measure (mirror) in a different failgroup.

  Concerns about redundancy (that was the point):

  Votedisk you have a right to vote in each asmdisk.

  OCR store using a diskgroup redundancy with normal you have a measure mirrored in a different failgroup. (she)

  How to measure Oracle Store OCR?

  She spread file OCR on all disks if ASM Diskgroup configuration allows do.

  If you have an OCR with 300 MB and store you it in a Diskgroup with external redundancy using 1 MB AU_SIZE and the size of the measure is 1 MB ASM spreads extended across all the disks in the Diskgroup storing bodies in all the balancing asmdisk.

  But we should consider the OCR file size and configuration of the ASM Diskgroup

  The ASM file content is stored in a disk group as a set or collection, extensions of data that are stored on individual disks in disk groups. Each extension resides on an individual disk. Extensions are made up of one or more allocation units (to THE).

  When you create a disk group, you can set the Oracle ASM with A unit allocation size U_SIZE disc of the group attribute. The values can be 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32 or 64 MB

  Therefore, if you create an external redundancy diskgroup with 8 ASMDISK using 64 MB AU_SIZE, EXTENT_SIZE is 64 MB and size of 100 MB Oracle will use OCR only two ASMDISK using 2 scope of 64 (128 MB) does not matter if you have 8 DISKS ASM.

• Install RAC 11 GR 2 and apply the patches with the new Option of software updates YES

  Anyone tried the installation with the new Option of software updates?
  
  I'm going to install grid RAC 11 GR 2 and I intend to do the following steps:
  (1) install the Oracle Grid Infrastructure 11.2.0.2 patch group
  (2) make all configurations with YES
  (3) create ASM disks
  (4) install Oracle Database 11.2.0.2 software only
  (5) apply recommended patches 11.2.0.2.2 Oracle (12311357) and 12431716. (Ref. MOS doc [756671.1 ID])
  (6) create the RAC (advanced option) with DBCA database
  
  With these steps:
  Grid and ASM disks would be configured without the recommended patches, but the database will be created with applied patches.
  
  I would not do a "Software only" install IM and then apply the patches because later I would have to manually do all the configuration steps.
  
  If I use the Option of YES software updates to apply patches, YES makes the adjustment, and then I would set up the GRID with YES?

Minutes later the diskgroup DG_GRID that stores OCR and voting disks that are non-mounted and the resource ora.crsd changed in DISCONNECTED state.

  We have that at this time, it was a question of synchronizing the disks, but this situation is repeated every day since last Friday,

  The fact is, it is events every day approximately at the same time (00:30-00:45) and he started since the easy tier feature has been enabled in the SAN.

  I want to know is there any recorded case that happened with this feature? How can I solve this?

  Any help will be appreciated.

  Looks like maybe even cause high latency but low IOPS / s

  In other words, san won't answer the door immediately because he's busy household and crsd looks forward to someone to answer the door.

  Hello, Arturo.

  Negotiators and GNS are independent of each other

  From 11 GR 2 onwards, files with right to vote can be hosted on ASM. And the upcoming ASM to cssd demon. And for the cssd start the cluster needs to access files with right to vote.

  These voting files location information is stored in the profile of negotiators (grid Plug n Play) file.

  GNS, is for the resolution of the cluster name. For customers outside the cluster to find the virtual servers in the cluster, we provide a Naming Service (GNS) grid. It works with any level superior DNS to provide names can be resolved to external customers. DHCP provides dynamic configuration of the IP address of hosts, but does not provide a good way to produce names which are useful to external clients. Accordingly, it has been rare in the server complex. In Oracle 11g release 2 Clusterware (11.2), this problem is solved by providing clusterwares own service name in the cluster and this connection resolution DNS that is visible to customers.

That's why I continued with the default location and the installation is completed successfully. Now my question is
