Overview

Automatic Storage Management (ASM) was introduced in Oracle10g Release 1 and is used toalleviate the DBA from having to manage individual files and drives. ASM is built into the Oraclekernel and provides the DBA with a way to manage thousands of disk drives 24x7 for both singleand clustered instances of Oracle. Essentially, ASM is a file system / volume manager for allOracle physical database files (datafiles, online redo logs, controlfiles, archived redo logs, RMANbackupsets, and SPFILEs). All of the database files (and directories) to be used for Oracle will be

contained in a disk group. ASM automatically performs load balancing in parallel across allavailable disk drives to prevent hot spots and maximize performance, even with rapidly changingdata usage patterns.

Configuring an ASM environment (an ASM instance) is a straightforward process and can bedone through the Database Configuration Assistant (DBCA) or manually (see Manually Creatingan ASM Instance). Once the ASM instance is configured on a node and an ASM Disk Group iscreated, any database that resides on that node can start taking advantage of it. For example,consider an ASM instance named +ASM with an ASM disk group named TESTDB_DATA1.Creating a tablespace where the datafile will reside in ASM is as easy as:

SQL> CREATE TABLESPACE users2 DATAFILE '+TESTDB_DATA1' SIZE 100M;

Tablespace created.

SQL> SELECT tablespace_name, file_name FROM dba_data_files WHERE tablespace_name= 'USERS2';

TABLESPACE_NAME FILE_NAME--------------- --------------------------------------------------USERS2 +TESTDB_DATA1/testdb/datafile/users2.268.598475429

Given the SQL statement above, a new datafile will be created using Oracle Managed Files(OMF) in an ASM disk group named TESTDB_DATA1.

But, what if you already have an existing Oracle database which stores its database files using

the local file system on the node you just configured ASM on and now want to relocate the entiredatabase to be stored in ASM? Well, as with most file management tasks that involve ASM, it'sRMAN to the rescue!

In this article, I will explain the steps necessary to migrate an existing Oracle database storedon the local file system to ASM. This will include all datafiles, tempfiles, online redo logfiles,controlfiles, and all flash recovery area files. I will then, within a follow-up section, explain how theprocess works in reverse - migrating a database stored in ASM to a local file system.

Current Configuration

The testing environment that I will be using for this article is best described in the followingillustration and table of values:

Oracle ASM ConfigurationMachine Name: linux3.idevelopment.infoOracle SID: TESTDBDatabase Name: TESTDBAvailableASM Disk Groups: +TESTDB_DATA1+TESTDB_DATA2+FLASH_RECOVERY_AREAAvailable File System for DB Files: /u02/oradataAvailable File System for Flash Recovery Area: /u02/flash_recovery_areaOperating System: Red Hat Linux 3 - (CentOS 3.4)Oracle Release: Oracle10g Release 2 - (10.2.0.2.0)

Please note that although I have two Oracle ASM disk groups defined for database files(+TESTDB_DATA1 and +TESTDB_DATA2), I will only be using +TESTDB_DATA1.

This article assumes the database is open and in ARCHIVELOG mode:

SQL> archive log listDatabase log mode Archive ModeAutomatic archival EnabledArchive destination USE_DB_RECOVERY_FILE_DESTOldest online log sequence 34Next log sequence to archive 36Current log sequence 36

Migrating Oracle Database from Local File System to ASM

The following query lists database files as they exist on the local file system for the TESTDBdatabase. All of the files listed in this query will be relocated from the local file system to ASM:

$ ORACLE_SID=TESTDB; export ORACLE_SID$ sqlplus "/ as sysdba"

Also note that the target database uses an SPFILE on the local file system:

$ORACLE_HOME/dbs/spfileTESTDB.ora

Use the following steps to fully migrate an existing Oracle database from a local file system toASM:

1. With the target database open, edit the initialization parameter control_files anddb_create_file_dest to point to the ASM disk group +TESTDB_DATA1. Also configuredb_recovery_file_dest to point to the ASM disk group +FLASH_RECOVERY_AREA:

SQL> ALTER SYSTEM SET control_files='+TESTDB_DATA1' SCOPE=spfile;

System altered.

SQL> ALTER SYSTEM SET db_create_file_dest='+TESTDB_DATA1' SCOPE=spfile;

System altered.

SQL> ALTER SYSTEM SET db_recovery_file_dest='+FLASH_RECOVERY_AREA'SCOPE=spfile;

System altered.

2. Startup the target database in NOMOUNT mode:

SQL> SHUTDOWN IMMEDIATEDatabase closed.Database dismounted.

3. From an RMAN session, copy one of your controlfiles from the local file system to its newlocation in ASM. The new controlfile will be copied to the value specified in the initializationparameter control_files:

RMAN> RESTORE CONTROLFILE FROM'/u02/oradata/TESTDB/controlfile/o1_mf_8du3s3er_.ctl';

4. From an RMAN or SQL*Plus session, mount the database. This will mount the databaseusing the controlfile stored in ASM:

RMAN> ALTER DATABASE MOUNT;

6. From an RMAN session, update the control file / data dictionary so that all database filespoint to the RMAN copy made in ASM:

RMAN> SWITCH DATABASE TO COPY;

datafile 1 switched to datafile copy"+TESTDB_DATA1/testdb/datafile/system.269.598482099"

datafile 4 switched to datafile copy"+TESTDB_DATA1/testdb/datafile/example.264.598482345"

datafile 5 switched to datafile copy

7. From a SQL*Plus session, perform incomplete recovery and open the database using theRESETLOGS option:

SQL> RECOVER DATABASE USING BACKUP CONTROLFILE UNTIL CANCEL;

ORA-00279: change 7937583 generated at 08/14/2006 20:33:55 needed for thread 1ORA-00289: suggestion : +FLASH_RECOVERY_AREAORA-00280: change 7937583 for thread 1 is in sequence #36

SQL> ALTER DATABASE OPEN RESETLOGS;

Database altered.

8. From a SQL*Plus session, re-create any tempfiles that are still currently on the local filesystem to ASM. This is done by simply dropping the tempfiles from the local file system and re-creating them in ASM. This example relies on the initialization parameter db_create_file_dest=+TESTDB_DATA1:

SQL> select tablespace_name, file_name, bytes from dba_temp_files;

TABLESPACE_NAME FILE_NAME BYTES--------------- ----------------------------------------------------- ---------

TEMP /u02/oradata/TESTDB/datafile/o1_mf_temp_2g17lvcq_.tmp 536870912

SQL> alter database tempfile2 '/u02/oradata/TESTDB/datafile/o1_mf_temp_2g17lvcq_.tmp'3 drop including datafiles;

Database altered.

SQL> alter tablespace temp add tempfile size 512m2 autoextend on next 250m maxsize unlimited;

TABLESPACE_NAME FILE_NAME BYTES--------------- ------------------------------------------------ ---------TEMP +TESTDB_DATA1/testdb/tempfile/temp.261.598485663 536870912

If users are currently accessing the tempfile(s) you are attempting to drop, you mayreceive the following error:

SQL> alter database tempfile

ERROR at line 1:ORA-25152: TEMPFILE cannot be dropped at this time

As for the poor users who were using the tempfile, their transaction will end and will begreeted with the following error message:

SQL> @testTemp.sqljoin dba_extents c on (b.segment_name = c.segment_name)

*ERROR at line 4:ORA-00372: file 601 cannot be modified at this timeORA-01110: data file 601: '/u02/oradata/TESTDB/datafile/o1_mf_temp_2g17lvcq_.tmp'ORA-00372: file 601 cannot be modified at this timeORA-01110: data file 601: '/u02/oradata/TESTDB/datafile/o1_mf_temp_2g17lvcq_.tmp'

If this happens, you should attempt to drop the tempfile again so the operation issuccessful:

SQL> alter database tempfile2 '/u02/oradata/TESTDB/datafile/o1_mf_temp_2g17lvcq_.tmp'3 drop including datafiles;

Database altered.

9. From a SQL*Plus session, re-create any online redo logfiles that are still currently on thelocal file system to ASM. This is done by simply dropping the logfiles from the local file systemand re-creating them in ASM. This example relies on the initialization parametersdb_create_file_dest=+TESTDB_DATA1 anddb_recovery_file_dest=+FLASH_RECOVERY_AREA:

* Determine the current online redo logfiles to move to ASM by examining the file names(and sizes) from V$LOGFILE:

SQL> select a.group#, a.member, b.bytes2 from v$logfile a, v$log b where a.group# = b.group#;

GROUP# MEMBER BYTES------ --------------------------------------------------------------- ---------

3 /u02/flash_recovery_area/TESTDB/onlinelog/o1_mf_3_2g1ghz8z_.log 262144000

6 rows selected.

* Force a log switch until the last redo log is marked "CURRENT" by issuing the followingcommand:

SQL> select group#, status from v$log;

GROUP# STATUS

---------- ----------------1 CURRENT2 INACTIVE3 INACTIVE

SQL> alter system switch logfile;

SQL> alter system switch logfile;

SQL> select group#, status from v$log;

GROUP# STATUS---------- ----------------

1 INACTIVE2 INACTIVE3 CURRENT

* After making the last online redo log file the CURRENT one, drop the first online redolog:

SQL> alter database drop logfile group 1;

Database altered.

As a DBA, you should already be aware that if you are going to drop a logfilegroup, it cannot be the current logfile group. I have run into instances; however, where attemptingto drop the logfile group resulted in the following error as a result of the logfile group having anactive status:

SQL> ALTER DATABASE DROP LOGFILE GROUP 1;ALTER DATABASE DROP LOGFILE GROUP 1*ERROR at line 1:

ORA-01624: log 1 needed for crash recovery of instance TESTDB (thread 1)ORA-00312: online log 1 thread 1: '<file_name>'

Easy problem to resolve. Simply perform a checkpoint on the database:

SQL> ALTER SYSTEM CHECKPOINT GLOBAL;

System altered.

SQL> ALTER DATABASE DROP LOGFILE GROUP 1;

Database altered.

* Re-create the dropped redo log group in ASM (and a different size if desired):

SQL> alter database add logfile group 1 size 250m;

Database altered.

* After re-creating the online redo log group, force a log switch. The online redo loggroup just created should become the CURRENT one:

SQL> select group#, status from v$log;

SQL> alter system switch logfile;

SQL> select group#, status from v$log;

GROUP# STATUS---------- ----------------

* After re-creating the first online redo log group, loop back to drop / re-create the nextonline redo logfile until all logs are rebuilt in ASM.

* Verify all online redo logfiles have been created in ASM:

SQL> select a.group#, a.member, b.bytes2 from v$logfile a, v$log b where a.group# = b.group#;

10. Perform the following steps to relocate the SPFILE from the local file system to an ASMdisk group.

* Create a text-based initialization parameter file from the current binary SPFILE locatedon the local file system:

SQL> CREATE PFILE='$ORACLE_HOME/dbs/initTESTDB.ora'

2 FROM SPFILE='$ORACLE_HOME/dbs/spfileTESTDB.ora';

File created.

* Create new SPFILE in an ASM disk group:

SQL> CREATE SPFILE='+TESTDB_DATA1/TESTDB/spfileTESTDB.ora'2 FROM PFILE='$ORACLE_HOME/dbs/initTESTDB.ora';

File created.

* Shutdown the Oracle database:

SQL> SHUTDOWN IMMEDIATEDatabase closed.Database dismounted.ORACLE instance shut down.

* Update the text-based init<SID>.ora file with the new location of the SPFILE in ASM:

$ echo "SPFILE='+TESTDB_DATA1/TESTDB/spfileTESTDB.ora'" >$ORACLE_HOME/dbs/initTESTDB.ora

* Remove (actually rename) the old SPFILE on the local file system so that the new text-based init<SID>.ora will be used:

$ mv $ORACLE_HOME/dbs/spfileTESTDB.ora$ORACLE_HOME/dbs/BACKUP_ASM.spfileTESTDB.ora

* Open the Oracle database using the new SPFILE:

SQL> STARTUP

11. Verify that all database files have been created in ASM:

12. At this point, the target database is open with all of its datafiles, controlfiles, online redologfiles, tempfiles, and SPFILE stored in ASM. If we wanted to remove the database files thatwere stored on the local file system (which are actually now RMAN copies), this could be donefrom an RMAN session. You could also then remove the old version of the controfile(s) that werestored on the local file system:

If this is a production database, it would be best practice to first backup the database fileson the local disk before removing them!

Also note that the target database uses an SPFILE which is stored in ASM. The targetdatabase starts using a text-based init<SID>.ora ($ORACLE_HOME/dbs/initTESTDB.ora) whichdefines the location of the SPFILE in ASM:

SPFILE='+TESTDB_DATA1/TESTDB/spfileTESTDB.ora'

Use the following steps to fully migrate an existing Oracle database from ASM to a local filesystem:

1. With the target database open, edit the initialization parameter control_files anddb_create_file_dest to point to locations on the local file system (/u02/oradata). Also configuredb_recovery_file_dest to point to the Flash Recovery Area on the local file system(/u02/flash_recovery_area):

SQL> ALTER SYSTEM SET control_files='/u02/oradata/TESTDB/control01.ctl'

SQL> ALTER SYSTEM SET db_recovery_file_dest='/u02/flash_recovery_area'SCOPE=spfile;

System altered.

2. Backup the current SPFILE (in ASM) to a text-based init<SID>.ora file on the local filesystem. Then convert the text-based init<SID>.ora file to a binary SPFILE on the local file system:

SQL> HOST mv $ORACLE_HOME/dbs/initTESTDB.ora$ORACLE_HOME/dbs/BACKUP_ASM.initTESTDB.ora

SQL> CREATE PFILE='$ORACLE_HOME/dbs/initTESTDB.ora' FROM

SPFILE='+TESTDB_DATA1/TESTDB/spfileTESTDB.ora';

File created.

SQL> CREATE SPFILE='$ORACLE_HOME/dbs/spfileTESTDB.ora' FROMPFILE='$ORACLE_HOME/dbs/initTESTDB.ora';

File created.

3. Startup the target database in NOMOUNT mode:

SQL> shutdown immediateDatabase closed.

Database dismounted.ORACLE instance shut down.

SQL> startup nomountORACLE instance started.

4. From an RMAN session, copy one of your controlfiles from ASM to its new location on the

local file system. The new controlfile will be copied to the value specified in the initializationparameter control_files:

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/migration-asm-to-nonasm-and-nonasm-to-asm 17/26

the local file system. This example relies on the initialization parameter db_create_file_dest=/u02/oradata:

SQL> select tablespace_name, file_name, bytes from dba_temp_files;

TABLESPACE_NAME FILE_NAME BYTES--------------- ----------------------------------------------------- ---------TEMP +TESTDB_DATA1/testdb/tempfile/temp.261.598485663 536870912

TABLESPACE_NAME FILE_NAME BYTES--------------- ----------------------------------------------------- ---------TEMP /u02/oradata/TESTDB/datafile/o1_mf_temp_2g3spvq5_.tmp 536870912

  If users are currently accessing the tempfile(s) you are attempting to drop, you mayreceive the following error:

SQL> alter database tempfile2 '+TESTDB_DATA1/testdb/tempfile/temp.261.598485663'3 drop including datafiles;

ERROR at line 1:ORA-25152: TEMPFILE cannot be dropped at this time

As for the poor users who were using the tempfile, their transaction will end and willbe greeted with the following error message:

SQL> @testTemp.sqljoin dba_extents c on (b.segment_name = c.segment_name)

*ERROR at line 4:ORA-00372: file 601 cannot be modified at this timeORA-01110: data file 601: '+TESTDB_DATA1/testdb/tempfile/temp.261.598485663'ORA-00372: file 601 cannot be modified at this time

ORA-01110: data file 601: '+TESTDB_DATA1/testdb/tempfile/temp.261.598485663'

If this happens, you should attempt to drop the tempfile again so the operation issuccessful:

SQL> alter database tempfile2 '+TESTDB_DATA1/testdb/tempfile/temp.261.598485663'3 drop including datafiles;

Database altered.

10. From a SQL*Plus session, re-create any online redo logfiles that are still currently usingASM to the local file system. This is done by simply dropping the logfiles from ASM and re-creating them on the local file system. This example relies on the initialization parametersdb_create_file_dest=/u02/oradata and db_recovery_file_dest=/u02/flash_recovery_area:

* Determine the current online redo logfiles to move to the local file system by examiningthe file names (and sizes) from V$LOGFILE:

As a DBA, you should already be aware that if you are going to drop a logfilegroup, it cannot be the current logfile group. I have run into instances; however, where attemptingto drop the logfile group resulted in the following error as a result of the logfile group having anactive status:

SQL> ALTER DATABASE DROP LOGFILE GROUP 1;ALTER DATABASE DROP LOGFILE GROUP 1*ERROR at line 1:ORA-01624: log 1 needed for crash recovery of instance TESTDB (thread 1)ORA-00312: online log 1 thread 1: '<file_name>'

Easy problem to resolve. Simply perform a checkpoint on the database:

SQL> ALTER SYSTEM CHECKPOINT GLOBAL;

System altered.

SQL> ALTER DATABASE DROP LOGFILE GROUP 1;

Database altered.

* Re-create the dropped redo log group in the local file system (and a different size if desired):

SQL> alter database add logfile group 1 size 250m;

Database altered.

* After re-creating the online redo log group, force a log switch. The online redo loggroup just created should become the CURRENT one:

SQL> select group#, status from v$log;

GROUP# STATUS---------- ----------------

1 UNUSED2 INACTIVE3 CURRENT

SQL> alter system switch logfile;

SQL> select group#, status from v$log;

GROUP# STATUS---------- ----------------

1 CURRENT2 INACTIVE3 ACTIVE

* After re-creating the first online redo log group, loop back to drop / re-create the nextonline redo logfile until all logs are rebuilt in the local file system.

* Verify all online redo logfiles have been created in the local file system:

SQL> select a.group#, a.member, b.bytes

13. One final note. Throughout this article, you will have noticed that I relied on using OracleManaged Files (OMF) whenever possible. However, you can see that after relocating the

database files from ASM to the local file system that our datafiles and controlfile(s) are not OMF.In this final task, I will convert the current datafiles and controlfile(s) to OMF:

* First, determine the non-OMF controlfiles (to be renamed) currently in use:

SQL> select name from v$controlfile;

NAME---------------------------------/u02/oradata/TESTDB/control01.ctl

* Next, determine the non-OMF datafiles (to be renamed) by examining the viewDBA_DATA_FILES:

SQL> SELECT tablespace_name, file_name2 FROM dba_data_files;
