ASM Creation

1. The document provides steps to create an ASM diskgroup on a local Windows machine for testing purposes. It involves creating dummy disks, configuring the Cluster Synchronization Service, creating an ASM instance and password file, and finally creating the "data" diskgroup using the 3 dummy disks. 2. Once the diskgroup is created, it instructs to change the pfile to an spfile, add the "data" diskgroup parameter, and restart the ASM instance. This allows the use of the new ASM diskgroup to create and manage databases.

ASM Creation (Windows)

You can follow this steps and create a ASM diskgroup on your local machine and play
with it ( Windows)

1) Creating a dummy disks

F:\>mkdir asmdisks
F:\>cd asmdisks
F:\asmdisks>asmtool -create F:\asmdisks\ disk1 512
F:\asmdisks>asmtool -create F:\asmdisks\ disk2 512
F:\asmdisks>asmtool -create F:\asmdisks\ disk3 512

Now you have 3 disks(dummy) of 512mb each which can be used to create a ASM disk
group.

2) Create ASM instance

a) Configure Cluster Synchronization Servie

C:\>c:\oracle\product\ 10.2.0\db_ 1\BIN\localconfi g add

Step 1: stopping local CSS stack


Step 2: deleting OCR repository
Step 3: creating new OCR repository
Successfully accumulated necessary OCR keys.
Creating OCR keys for user 'ap\arogyaa' , privgrp ''..
Operation successful.
Step 4: creating new CSS service
successfully created local CSS service
successfully reset location of CSS setup
b) Create Init pfile
Open notepad edit the following parameters and save file as "C:\oracle\product\
10.2.0\db_ 1\database\ init+ASM. ora"
INSTANCE_TYPE= ASM
DB_UNIQUE_NAME= +ASM
LARGE_POOL_SIZE= 8M
ASM_DISKSTRING= 'F:\asmdisks\ *'
_ASM_ALLOW_ONLY_ RAW_DISKS= FALSE

c) Create service and password file


oradim will create an ASM instance and start it automatically.
c:\> orapwd file=C:\oracle\ product\10. 2.0\db_1\ database\ PWD+ASM.ora
password=asm
c:\> oradim -NEW -ASMSID +ASM -STARTMODE auto
3) Create ASM disk group
a) Create asm disk group
SQL> select path, mount_status from v$asm_disk;
PATH MOUNT_S
------------ --------- --------- --
F:\ASMDISKS\ DISK1 CLOSED
F:\ASMDISKS\ DISK3 CLOSED
F:\ASMDISKS\ DISK2 CLOSED

SQL> create diskgroup data external redundancy disk


2 'F:\ASMDISKS\ DISK1',
3 'F:\ASMDISKS\ DISK2',
4* 'F:\ASMDISKS\ DISK3';
Diskgroup created.
b) Change PFILE to SPFILE, Add ASM Diskgroup parameter and your all set to go and
use ASM.
SQL> create spfile from pfile;
SQL> startup force;
SQL> alter system set asm_diskgroups= data scope=spfile;
SQL> startup force;
SQL> startup force
ASM instance started
Total System Global Area 83886080 bytes
Fixed Size 1247420 bytes
Variable Size 57472836 bytes
ASM Cache 25165824 bytes
ASM diskgroups mounted
SQL>
Now you can go ahead and use your DBCA and create a database and on step 6 of 13,
you can use Automatic Storage management as your Filesystem.
