Redundancy of the ASM

• ASM high redundancy on the quarter grid should be possible

  I was reading the white paper "Best practices for Database Consolidation on Exadata Database Machine" http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/database/features/availability/exadata-consolidation-522500.pdf and came across this statement
  
  On page 5
  
  «There is also the possibility of deploying a smaller pool consisting of a support in 2-2 quarter Exadata X for entry level of vital systems consolidation No.» This option is not recommended for the basic needs of the company because it does not fully support ASM disk groups high redundancy (full support for high redundancy ASM disk groups requires a minimum of Exadata X 2 - 2 half rack). »
  
  A quarter rack has 3 storage cells seems to me that a high redundancy should be possible. can someone shed some light on the origin and significance of this statement?
  Thank you
  Robin

  The reason that you can't high redundancy on all starts in a quarter of a rack is due to requirements for OCR/voting records when they reside within the ASM. For OCR and voting records be placed in high ASM diskgroup redundancy, it takes 5 failgroups. Because a quarter rack has only 3 cells, one of your start (probably DBFS_DG) must be normal redundancy to meet the OCR and voting disk conditions.

  It is possible to have DATA and RECO be high redundancy on the grid of a quarter, but they cannot hold OCR and voting disks.

  Hello

  • REQUIRED_MIRROR_FREE_MBindicates the amount of space that must be available in a disk group to restore full redundancy after worse failure that can be tolerated by the disk group. The amount of space shown in this column takes into account mirroring effects. The value is calculated as follows: for normal redundancy disk group, the value is the total gross space for all disks in the largest group of failure. The largest group of failure is the one with the largest total raw capacity. For example, if each disc in its own group of default, the value would be the size of the largest capacity disk. For a disk group high redundancy, the value is the gross total space for all disks in the two largest groups of failure.
  • USABLE_FILE_MBthe amount of free space, adjusted for mirroring, which is available for the new files to restore redundancy after a disk failure. USABLE_FILE_MBis calculated by subtracting REQUIRED_MIRROR_FREE_MB from the total free space in the disk group and then adjusting the value of mirroring. For example, in a normal redundancy disk group where by default the mirror files use disk space equal to twice their size, if there's 4 GB of usable file space, then USABLE_FILE_MB is equal to about 2 GB. You can then add a file that is up to 2 GB in size.
  • FREE_MBis the unused capacity of the Group disk in megabytes, without taking into account any imbalance data. Therefore, there may be situations where the value of the FREE_MB column shows unused capacity but because one of the ASM disks is full, database entries fail because of the imbalance in the disk group. Make sure that you initiate a manual rebalancing to force the same distribution of data which translates a precise presentation of the values in the FREE_MB column.

• Question of the ASM

  Hello
  
  I'll put up a 11.2.0.3 new install and I have a problem in my hands a little bit.
  
  While doing the installation, I created the asm on a partition disk in:

  oracleasm createdisk DATA /dev/sdb2

  Now, after rebooting, it may be the case when my score is not identified as/dev/sdb2 more instance cannot find the disc, so I need to tag it with something like

  e2label <partition> <labelname>

  to ensure consistent names after a reboot and my instance ASM will not fail
  
  My question is, can I I "remap" the ASM/dev/sdb2 < labelname > disc without having to recreate all over again? If so, how?
  
  Thank you

  ASM autonomous, that is right.

  oracleasm createdisk is executed before installing the GRID.

  just now, I am from sracth, comes to complete installation of oel6 and create the partitions with fdisk on my raid1 + 0
  one that I have already formatted with ext3 and im moving the installers to the server to start

  Any guide you know I can't go through?

  Have not yet installed oracleasm.

  The next steps so far are:
  -Once all the installation on the server programs I'm good to go with oracleasm
  --> Create disc on an unformatted partition/dev/sdb2
  --> install grid
  --> create diskgroup
  --> install 11 GR 2
  --> instance to create

  DO NOT use oracleasm - as I have said, it is expected to be close to retirement. If you don't want to be related to it.

  Make sure that the device has the appropriate permissions before you start.
  In the installation program, select ASM for OCR. in the lower right corner to select CHANGE DISKSTRING and configured to point to/dev/sd * and he sees only one with the correct permissions. It will ask you the name of diskgroup, and you select the sdb2 with REDUNDANCY EXTERNAL device. It will automatically load the initial configuration. Watch the udev.config to find out how to set permissions on startup

  I don't usually promote other websites, but this looks like a good start on how to correctly configure udev...
  http://www.Oracle-base.com/articles/Linux/udev-SCSI-rules-configuration-in-Oracle-Linux-5-and-6.php#create_udev_rules_file

  If you could point me to a guide on how can I do this without using asmlib I would be grateful.

  Do not!

• ICS error - "the service of the redundancy or the grope does not start.

  These days I was facing this problem on ICS. Whenever I try to share my internet connection with wifi, it gives an error saying: "the service of the redundancy or the grope does not start" I have reset the connection, disable on surroundings & & restart the system as well, but not the changes even error every time. Is there someone can help on this desire to please much appreciated.

  Hi kaliszewski,.

  Welcome to the Microsoft Community and thanks for posting the question.

  According to the description, it looks that you are facing with Internet connection sharing problems.

  Please follow the steps mentioned below that can help us to solve the cause of the problem.

  Method 1:

  Maybe not all services that run the Internet (ICS) ICS are enabled. I suggest to start over and make sure that the underside of addiction services are activated.

  1. click on Start, run, type services.msc and click OK.

  2. to activate a service, find in the right pane and double click on its entry.

  3. make sure that the Startup Type is set to Automatic , and then click OK.

   

  All the following services must be so configured to use ICS:

  Application Layer Gateway Service
  Network connections
  Knowledge of the network (NLA) locations
  Plug-And-Play
  Remote Access Auto Connection Manager
  Remote Access Connection Manager
  Remote procedure call (RPC)
  Telephony

  After checking and automatic startup for each of these services configuration, close the Services window and restart the computer before trying again to enable ICS.

  Method 2:

  To disable and then re-enable the Internet connection sharing on the Internet connection of the Windows 7 computer. If it asks you to select a private network connection, select the one that connects to the hub. Check the connections to the LAN on each computer:

  1. Press Windows Key + R.
  2. Type ncpa.cpl in the box and press enter.
  3. Right click on the connection to the local network, and then click status.
  4. Click on Details. It should show these values:
  • IPv4 address: 192.168. *. *
  • IPv4 subnet mask: 255.255. *. *

  If the values are not good, Internet connection sharing is not configured correctly.

  You can also consult the following link for troubleshooting Internet connection sharing problems:

• GLWB-10521: could not resolve the ASM label

• Label of the ASM to name of LUN mapping; Are not even necessary device names when you use ASMLib?

  = Environment details start =.

  OS: Oracle Linux 6.4

  Version Infra grid: 11.2.0.4

  Storage: EMC VMAX

  ASM Lib version:

  # rpm - qa | grep oracleasm

  oracleasm-support - 2.1.8 - 1.el6.x86_64

  oracleasmlib - 2.0.4 - 1.el6.x86_64

  oracleasm version came not in rpm-qa output may be because it is part of the Oracle Linux kernel. But the 2 components above are not

  = Environment details end =.

  We have a 2 node RAC cluster.

  We wanted to add 2 LUNS to our data Diskgroup and asked team storage available to both nodes of the cluster.

  After that they provided, the Linux Admin scanned the LUN and powerpath device names were generated. The powerpath device names like SCSI logic unit number names are incremented sequentially. Because, two additional powerpath LUN used to Node1 to a local file system, the names of powerpath were incrementing differently in the two nodes.

  Thus, for the same LUNS emcpowerpath names differed in Node2. Linux Admin did not notice this difference. And he told us the names of newly added from Node1 LUNS powerpath that have been

  / dev/emcpowerv

  / dev/emcpowerw

  But in Node2, the same LUN were appointed

  / dev/emcpowert

  / dev/emcpoweru

  The DBA guess powerpath name these 2 LUNS will be same on Node2, label the discs to help

  oracleasm createdisk DATA17/dev/emcpowerv1

  oracleasm createdisk DATA18/dev/emcpowerw1

  After marking in node 1, the DBA ran scandisks in Node2. But while the oracleasm scandisks in Node2 is running, it does not seem to/dev/emcpowerv and/dev/emcpowerw in Node2. Instead, ASMLib is smart enough to read the LUN ID in Node1 and search devices powerpath with the same LUN ID and labels as Node1. What's it like in Node2, / dev/emcpowert is labeled DATA17 and/dev/emcpoweru is labeled DATA18 correctly, as shown below.

  Node1

  Node2

  LUN ID

  Label of the ASM

  / dev/emcpowerv

  / dev/emcpowert

  DATA17

  / dev/emcpowerw

  / dev/emcpoweru

  629:

  DATA18

  Confirmed using the oracleasm querydisk Pei/dev/emcpower < x > .

  During labelling using the oracleasm createdisk , since we use the LUN name I always thought that asmlib dealt only with the names of devices (Powerpath name in this case). I didn't know that ASMLib treats ID LUN. If ASMLIB faces in LUN ID internally, then you don't need to have the same name for a particular LUN for disks shared in different RAC nodes? Right?

  ASMLIB contains 3 packs. Oracleasmlib, which is distributed under a license of Oracle user space and is not part of the standard GPL software distribution. Oracleasm-support, which is in the standard repository and kernel driver of Oracleasm, which is included in the core Oracle UEK only or distributed by Red Hat to RHCK kernel. The subsequent RHCK driver requires a Red Hat subscription. You need all 3 installed packages.

  ASMLib doesn't care to the SCSI ID or device names. When you configure a device to ASMLIB, he writes a header special disk in the device, the command scandisk read and identify a device. ASMLIB devices are populated under the tree of device/dev/oracleasm and found by ASM using the default ORCL: device chain.

  Don't forget that ASMLIB does not work with multiple devices and if you use DB-Multipath or EMC Powerpath, you need to blacklist the physical devices so ASMLIB will use powerpath or multipath device instead. Otherwise there will be no failover devices like ASMLIB will simply use the first device found and ignore the other. Check the following:

• Apply the fix of the ASM

  Hi all

  Recently, we have applied the patch on one of our instance ASM, we've reached ORA-04031 on ASM instance. Oracle, we propose to apply the patch and one of my colleague came with these steps and

  We have applied the fix successfully. I have a few questions about these steps. I would be grateful, if you could offer your expert advise on my questions.

  In step 1, we use SRVCTL to stop all the instacnes running on a single box. We have about 46 instance that is running on this node

  My question is, setp 1, mean-o and s flag done.

  In step 2, this makes sudo for < GRID_HOME > is to use the rootcrs.pl - unlock.

  On step 4, we have applied the patch to GRID_HOME, but must understand usage - oh flag

  New on stp 5, why we need to perform step number 5

  It starts at step 6, all instances by using srvct, but just curious, by the way, why we need to provide the file ampxt1d1_status with flag - n.

  1. this task is to apply the patch of the ASM

  2. stop all the instance running on ampxd1d1.

  srvctl stop immediate home o < ORACLE_HOME > s/u01/patches/tmp/ampxt1d1_status n < nide > t

  3. run the script in root of pre.

  sudo /u01/app/11.2.0.3/grid/crs/install/rootcrs.pl-deverrouiller

  4. apply the patch using opatch

  opatch apply - oh local /u01/app/11.2.0.3/grid-/u01/patches/tmp/13951456

  5 run the suite.

  sudo /u01/app/11.2.0.3/grid/crs/install/rootcrs.pl-patch

  6 start the instance.

  srvctl start House o /u01/app/oracle/product/11.2.0.3/dbhome_1 s/u01/patches/tmp/ampxt1d1_status n

  Concerning

  Hello

  (1) the o Specifies the oracle House and s specifies a path for the command "srvctl stop home" store the State of the resources. in this case, command (srvctl stop home - o) stops anything running oracle home.

  (2) rootcrs.pl with - unlock flag unlocks the CRS home and make it ready to patch.

  (3) the - oh indicator command opatch specifies oracle home to work on. This takes precedence over the ORACLE_HOME environment variable

  (4) - patch flag of the rootcrs.pl command specifies the oracle home is upgraded and lock it.

  (5) control of House o srvctl start will start the oracle home and all service runs from this House.

• Redundancy of the workspace

  How can I make my Horizon Workspace deployment highly available in the event of failure?  There are 5 VMs to vApp, but none of them are there to provide redundancy for the others.  I'm afraid that the workspace is a single point failure for my environment to view giant.  I saw a "addvm" command... should I just run which, for all 5 mV in the vApp and then I'll have 10VMs with each VM with compensation for redundancy?  Or it does not work like that?

  T

  Today, with the data - will, Yes, we have redundancy. Basically, a set of users are assigned to each data - going. If this goes data fails, these users will not be able to access the data horizon features. We actively try to fix this in our future versions.

  You mentioned that you use view integration, which should not have any how reliance on data - will go down. Please let us know if you are using data to horizon as well. If so, we should call for webex and we can guide you through a few ways of redundancy using HA etc.

  Q2. What are the processes above, and how to close properly?

  Q3. What is the procedure for starting a ASM?

  any help appreciated,

  Jim

  
  

  Look for the command

  crsctl stop
