Hi,
The doc. states
The voting disk is a file that manages o information about node membership,
and the OCR is a file that manages o cluster
and o Oracle RAC database configuration information.
When I enter asmcmd utility I see the following:
ASMCMD> pwd
+DATA/mycluster/OCRFILE
ASMCMD> ls -ls
Type Redund Striped Time Sys Block_Size Blocks Bytes Space Name
OCRFILE UNPROT COARSE FEB 11 11:00:00 Y 4096 66591 272756736 274726912 REGISTRY.255.827163049
This is the so-called OCR right ? Where is the voting disk - it seems not to be visible, or is it ?
'crsctl query css votedisk' shows:
[grid@machine ~]$ crsctl query css votedisk
## STATE File Universal Id File Name Disk group
-- ----- ----------------- ------------------------------ ----------
1. ONLINE 99273545d2db4fd0bffcd8e3a1a1e3ec (/dev/oracleasm/disks/ASMDSK1) [DATA]
and
[grid@machine ~]$ ocrcheck
Status of Oracle Cluster Registry is as follows :
Version : 3
Total space (kbytes) : 262120
Used space (kbytes) : 3028
Available space (kbytes) : 259092
ID : 1051697976
Device/File Name : +DATA
Device/File integrity check succeeded
So, the "registry.255...." file above in DATA/mycluster/OCRFILE is the Oracle cluster registry file OK ?
The "voting file" is not visible per se in asmcmd ?
MOS note 1053147.1 says "voting file is backed up into the OCR at every configuration change and can
be restored via crsctl": does that mean the voting file is merged inside these OCR backup files backupXX.ocr
taken every 4 hours that I can see in $GRID_HOME/cdata/mycluster directory ?
Why 2 separates files (one for "node membership" and another for "cluster and RAC DB config information") ??
Does anybody have an idea of how this "node membership" information is stored in the voting files ? What
does it contain exactly (seems to me to be quite redundant with "cluster and RAC config information"...) ?
Thanks for your help...
Regards,
Seb
