What is correct way to move the default oracle spfile to ASM diskgroup so i can successfully bring up the instance . After bring up the instance , it should point to ASM diskgroup. My oracle database 11.2.0.3 is siting on sun solaris 64 Bit.

Problem Description: Cloning from Source instance A to target instance B and both are in ASM instances.RMAN backup in source instance A is completed, which has spfile configured in non-default location in ASM for example,see belowASMCMD
[+ASMDG003/TEST1 > ls -ltType Redund Striped Time Sys Name Y TEMPFILE/ Y ONLINELOG/ Y DATAFILE/ Y CONTROLFILE/ N spfiletest1.ora => +ASMDG003/TEST1/PARAMETERFILE/SPFILE.747.856347
Also, there is no SPFILE in $ORACLE_HOME/dbs for the TEST1 source instance. INITTEST1.ora file has the following entry:
cat INITTEST1. oraspfile='+ ASMD G003 /TEST1/spfileTEST1.ora'
Question: In the target instance to be cloned from RMAN backup fro source instance TEST1, on performing ' restore spfile from autobackup 'location';Will the spfile be restored in $ORACLE_HOME/dbs in the target instance TEST2?

I am attempting to read from the maillog of our server, but I wish to make as few changes as possible for fear of blocking other systems access to the file.
I was initially going to call create directory maillogs as '/var/log/maillog' and then drop directory maillogs; when I was done but I found my user does not have "create any directory" permissions.
Rather than compromise security of the existing database configuration, I thought I would permanently add the maillogs to the list of available data directories. Are there any implications to the filesystem if I do this, or should I be able to add this without consideration of affects.
Understand that I will only be opening the file for (R) READ TEXT access only.
Primarily I am concerned that Oracle (in the background) will keep a file pointer open or something of that nature that would block other programs from writing to the file even after I close the file pointer. I want to make as little impact as possible to the file system.
I am configuring RAC with two nodes. I have mapped iscsi targets successfully. I am unable to mount the ocfs2 filesystem.

I have got backup pieces in ASM, I guess about more than 100 files. Now, I need to copy all of them from ASM to FileSystem, there are 2 methods still now:
1- Copy from ASM to FileSystem using cp command.
2- Copy from ASM to FileSystem using DBMS_FILE_TRANSFER.
But:
In the first method, when I copy one file, I took more than 1 minute, so the following script would take me more than 1 days (I guess so).
#!/bin/ksh
#
# This script copies files from FRA on ASM to local disk
#
ORACLE_SID=+ASM2
ASMLS=/vasgatedb/app/vsgbkp/asm_ls.txt ##{ASM files list}
[Code]...
The second method, DBMS_FILE_TRANSFER took me less than 1 second to copy one file completely.
sys@VSGDB> set timing on
sys@VSGDB> exec dbms_file_transfer.COPY_FILE('asm_dir','level_0_vsgdb_9998_813844797.bkp','fs_dir','level_0_vsgdb_9998_813844797.bkp');
PL/SQL procedure successfully completed.

Of course, I wish I used the second method as soon as possible, however, said I below, I've got about ~200 files, and I could not copy one by one file.
I am using Oracle 11.2.0.3 RAC (2 nodes) + ASM on AIX 7.1
I am backing up my Oracle database through RMAN to ASM disk groups..I have a requirement to backup also to an OS file systems. So what I did that I mounted an NFS across the 2 nodes of my RAC database.I am running backup from node 2 only.My issue now is that I am facing a real performance issue when backing up to NFS.My question is there any way to take an RMAN backup to local file system on node 2? or in other way what are the options to take RMAN backups to an OS file system?
I tried to copy from ASM to OS file system but i was advised to backup to file system using the format command.what should i do in such case? since I am facing performance issue to backup to NFS.
I am oracle 10g grid control.
I have a requirement where I have to generate monthly filesystem usage report(graphical) in an automated fashion,I checked the built in reports from the grid control 10g but not able to find any thing....
There is a question come up in my mind that can we perform the copy/delete/move of ASM files to the host filesystem while the ASM instance is down. For instance... To copy the file ASM file through AMCMD utility when the ASM instance is running.
ASMCMD> cp spfilenode.ora /u01copying +DATA/NODE/spfilenode.ora -> /u01/spfilenode.ora
Now my question is, Can I copy/delete/move that file on OS filesystems when the ASM instance is down.
I need to know how to modify the spfile - I know how to create it from scratch (from pfile to spfile), but need to modify an existing spfile.
View 3 Replies View RelatedSuppose my Prod Database is up and accidentally my pfile deleted. what will happen to my prod database whether it wil fail the instance or any error . as per concept that i know pfile accessed when we nomount the database for initialization of database.(11g)

Suppose my spfile deleted and previously my database was in up condition. what will happen to my instance if i am working in a OLTP/DSS environment.(i dont have backup also how to recover and work in 11g if instance failed)
I am currently in the favorable situation in which I have excess amounts of memory available on the database server - a single node setup. The server only serves the single instance and no other processing. Database size is around 2.3tb and memory is 50gb. For the majority of processing, AIX is allocating a significant amount (anywhere from 30-40%) of the memory to the AIX file system cache (persistent pages).
I've been trying to find documentation about this, but have not had any luck yet. My guess is that it would be better to allow Oracle to cache this data - meaning increase the SGA target and max size to allow for a larger buffer cache. However, the nice thing about the AIX cache is if process memory is needed, the file system cache gives up pages. If the memory was allocated to the SGA, its pretty much locked in.
I have read several articles stating that a larger buffer cache is not always better, as a larger cache takes more management. But having both of the caches active seem to be a waste of memory, effectively storing the data twice - once in AIX persistent pages and a second time in Oracle database buffer cache.
I am attempting to install Oracle 10g R2 on Oracle Enterprise Linux 5 update 5 but facing some errors. Can't believe i have done everything right as far as oracle docs n my understanding concern. when i try to invoke runInstaller for CRS it fails with following error:

I am also attaching the cluster verfication result, if you wish to have a look at this.
when setting up data guard, if the primary clustered database is already in archive log mode, is there a need to restart both cluster instances when we update the spfile parameters for data guard ? or we can simply add the data guard parameters to the spfile while both cluster instances are online ?

I've pasted some of the results of an RMAN backup that I ran. It says that it's backing up both the Control File and the SPFILE, but it appears that only one file is being created. Is this correct? How does this work? Are both files combined into the C-3843121877-20120619-00 file?

i try to startup a database, and get that obsolete/deprecated parameter specified(ORA-32004: obsolete and/or deprecated parameter(s) specified)so i try to reset the parameter, but it seems it is already reset(not in spfile), so maybe this is in memory. SO now i try to reset with scope = memory or both, it gives this error(ORA-32029: resetting with SCOPE=MEMORY or SCOPE=BOTH is currently not supported).
what to do, because now i cannot reset with scope = memory and in spfile it is not there but still it comes in deprecated parameter.

WHY DOES THIS HAPPEN AND HOW CAN I OVERCOME IT ?
A am new in RAC configuration.I configuring RAC with ASM diskgroup with the external redundency. So now i am facing problem to mount the ASM diskgroup. I am giving the the RAC configuration description below.
1. using two node rac1 and rac2
2. asm disk configuration 3 drive
/dev/raw/raw1
/dev/raw/raw2
/dev/raw/raw3
on both node
3. and i am using vmware to configure the both node asmdisk group
after configuring the os level and oracle clustring , i run dbca to configure asm disk group..so in the create disk screen i have found my previous create 3 disks
/dev/raw/raw1
/dev/raw/raw2
/dev/raw/raw3
so first two disks
/dev/raw/raw1
/dev/raw/raw2
i named it "dg1" then press ok , when i pressed ok a warring is appear that is "could not mount the diskgroup on remote node on rac2 using the connection service rac2:1521:+ASM2. Ensure that the listener is running on this node and the asm instance is registred to the listener. Receive the following error:
ORA-15032 : not all alterations performed
ORA-15063 : ASM discovered insufficient number of disk for diskgroup "DG1"
as the same way i create another diskgroup "fg" for flash recovery area using disk /dev/raw/raw3
so after creating the two diskgroup i saw the two diskgroup is appere in the "diskgroup appere screen" an saw that only one diskgroup is mounted but not second node i.e. rac2 diskgroup is not mounted . What should i do no .
Resize or add disk in ASM.
- The storage has partitions like:
- And now, the size of ASM disk was full
Because I've not ever done for adding disk to diskgroup.
Step 1- Format the storage, add partitions (I will create 4 partitions of 120gb, 1 partitions 60gb, 1 partitions 27gb).
Step 2- Add the rawdevice in /etc/sysconfig/rawdevices.In the picture here, I'll not just add rawdevice in /etc/sysconfig/rawdevices. So I'll do:
add lines in /etc/sysconfig/rawdevices
/dev/raw/raw7 /dev/cciss/c0d1p9
/dev/raw/raw8 /dev/cciss/c0d1p10
/dev/raw/raw9 /dev/cciss/c0d1p11
/dev/raw/raw10 /dev/cciss/c0d1p12
[code]....
how to do continue after step 5.
I've been ASM quite a while. I've two diskgroups extdg and nordg which are of external and normal redundancy respectively. Total diskgroup size is 9G, usuable space came down to 3mb when i tried to resize it to itz maximum. the value under usable column shows the same.
FYI... i've totally three disks in nordg, two in one failgroup and one in another.The disk sized equally 3g each.
