ora.asm vs. oracleasm

user12217101Jul 23 2014 — edited Jul 30 2014

Hi there,

I have installed on an Oracle Linux 6.5 a RAC 11.2.0.3. The ASM disk I created with oracleasm. Now, however, I wanted to work itself via SQL or asmcmd and I get not start the instance.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[grid@TestA ~]$ sqlplus / as sysasm

SQL*Plus: Release 11.2.0.3.0 Production on Wed Jul 23 09:57:45 2014

Copyright (c) 1982, 2011, Oracle.  All rights reserved.

Connected to an idle instance.

SQL> startup

ORA-00304: requested INSTANCE_NUMBER is busy

SQL>

------------------------------------------------------------------------

The OCR can work with ASM. However, I do not :-(

My opinion, vote the entries:

----------------------------------------------------------------------

[grid@TestA oracle]$ ps -ef|grep pmon

grid      2946     1  0 Jul22 ?        00:00:21 asm_pmon_+ASM1

grid     36150 35756  0 10:09 pts/1    00:00:00 grep pmon

[grid@TestA oracle]$ cat /etc/oratab

#Backup file is  /oracle/grid/11.2.0/srvm/admin/oratab.bak.testa line added by Agent

#

# This file is used by ORACLE utilities.  It is created by root.sh

# and updated by the Database Configuration Assistant when creating

# a database.

# A colon, ':', is used as the field terminator.  A new line terminates

# the entry.  Lines beginning with a pound sign, '#', are comments.

#

# Entries are of the form:

#   $ORACLE_SID:$ORACLE_HOME:<N|Y>:

#

# The first and second fields are the system identifier and home

# directory of the database respectively.  The third filed indicates

# to the dbstart utility that the database should , "Y", or should not,

# "N", be brought up at system boot time.

#

# Multiple entries with the same $ORACLE_SID are not allowed.

+ASM1:/oracle/grid/11.2.0:N             # line added by Agent

[grid@TestA oracle]$

I suspect that you talk with oracleasm in the usr directory past the fact RAC installtion ASM and now I have to get this in the RAC environment inside. Has anyone done something like this already, or a solution for me?
