how OCR mirroring works

1665591Jan 7 2015 — edited Jan 9 2015

Hi Gurus ,

As per Oracle docs "Normal redundancy disk groups  provide   3 voting disk files, 1 OCR and 2 copies(one primary and one secondary mirror).

Does it means there are 2 OCR in this diskgroup ? .Then ,

Where is the OCR primary and Mirror created in this case?Are they been on separate failure group ? Then how can I check the same through asmcmd?

Here is my environment set up

[grid@xxxx01 ~]$ ocrcheck

Status of Oracle Cluster Registry is as follows :

         Version                  :          3

         Total space (kbytes)     :     262120

         Used space (kbytes)      :       2800

         Available space (kbytes) :     259320

         ID                       : 1074808153

         Device/File Name         : +OCR_VOTE

                                    Device/File integrity check succeeded

                                    Device/File not configured

                                    Device/File not configured

                                    Device/File not configured

                                    Device/File not configured

         Cluster registry integrity check succeeded

         Logical corruption check bypassed due to non-privileged user

My +OCR_VOTE is in normal redundancy , while looking at ASM level

[grid@xxxx01 ~]$ asmcmd

ASMCMD>

ASMCMD> cd +OCR_VOTE

ASMCMD> ls

ehrptpi-cluster/

ASMCMD> cd xxxxxi-cluster/

ASMCMD> ls

ASMPARAMETERFILE/

OCRFILE/

ASMCMD> cd OCRFILE/

ASMCMD> ls -l

Type     Redund  Striped  Time             Sys  Name

OCRFILE  MIRROR  COARSE   JAN 07 20:00:00  Y    REGISTRY.255.763526561

ASMCMD>

Here I can see only one OCR file . Then what is meant by  1 OCR and 2 copies ?

Can somebody shed some light on how OCR mirroring actually works ?

Thanks and Regards,

Mahi
