ASM Instance Tasks
The following are tasks that you need to be able to
perform in order to use an ASM instance:
• Create the ASM instance
• Set the initialization parameters
• Start the ASM instance
• Manage the ASM instance
• Shut down the ASM instance

ASM Disk Groups
•
•
•
•
•
A pool of disks managed as
a logical unit
Partitions total disk space into
uniform sized units
Spreads each file evenly
across all disks
Uses coarse- or fine-grain
striping on the basis of file
type
Administers disk groups, not
files

Mirror at AU level
Mix primary and mirror

External redundancy:
Defers to hardware

Normal redundancy:
– Two-way mirroring
– At least two failure groups
•
High redundancy:
– Three-way mirroring
– At least three failure groups

Migrating Your Database to ASM Storage
1. Shut down your database cleanly.
2. Shut down the database and modify your server
parameter file to use Oracle Managed Files (OMF).
3. Edit and execute the following RMAN script:
STARTUP NOMOUNT;
RESTORE CONTROLFILE FROM '/u1/c1.ctl';
ALTER DATABASE MOUNT;
BACKUP AS COPY DATABASE FORMAT '+dgroup1';
SWITCH DATABASE TO COPY;
SQL "ALTER DATABASE RENAME '/u1/log1' TO '+dgroup1' ";
# Repeat RENAME command for all online redo log members
...
ALTER DATABASE OPEN RESETLOGS;
SQL "ALTER DATABASE TEMPFILE '/u1/temp1' DROP";
