migrate from database file system to ASM

TO Migrate the database files from disk
to asm disk is as follows,
1.configure flash recovery area.
2.Migrate datafiles to ASM.
3.Control file to ASM.
4.Create Temporary tablespace.
5.Migrate Redo logfiles
6.Migrate spfile to ASM.


step 1:Configure flash recovery area.

SQL> connect sys/sys@prod1 as sysdba
Connected.
SQL> alter database disable block change tracking;

Database altered.

SQL> alter system set db_recovery_file_dest_size=500m;

System altered.

SQL> alter system set db_recovery_file_dest=’+RECOVERYDEST’;

System altered


step 2 and 3: Migrate data files and control file
to ASM. 

use RMAN to migrate the data files to ASM disk groups.
All data files will be migrated to the newly created disk group, DATA

SQL> alter system set db_create_file_dest='+DATA';

System altered.

SQL> alter system set control_files='+DATA/ctf1.dbf' scope=spfile;

System altered.

SQL> shu immediate

RMAN> switch database to copy;

RMAN> alter database open;

Recovery Manager complete.


SQL> conn sys/oracle as sysdba

Connected.

SQL> select tablespace_name,file_name from dba_data_files;

TABLESPACE_NAME                FILE_NAME

SQL> select name from v$controlfile;


NAME

+DATA/ctf1.dbf

NO       16384            594

step 4:Migrate temp tablespace to ASM.

SQL> alter tablespace temp add tempfile size 100m;

Tablespace altered.

SQL> select file_name from dba_temp_files;

FILE_NAME

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

+DATA/mydb/tempfile/temp.263.705065455

otherwise,
Create temporary tablespace in ASM disk group.

SQL> CREATE TABLESPACE temp1 TEMPFILE ‘+diskgroup1’;

SQL> alter database default temporary tablespace temp1;

Database altered.


step 5:Migrate redo logs to ASM.

SQL> select member,group# from v$logfile;

MEMBER                                                 GROUP#

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

/u01/new/oracle/oradata/mydb/redo03.log                     3

/u01/new/oracle/oradata/mydb/redo01.log                     1

SQL> alter database add logfile group 4 size 5m;

Database altered.

SQL> alter database add logfile group 5 size 5m;

Database altered.

SQL> alter database add logfile group 6 size 5m;

Database altered.

SQL> select member,group# from v$logfile;

MEMBER                                                 GROUP#

/u01/new/oracle/oradata/mydb/redo02.log                     2

/u01/new/oracle/oradata/mydb/redo01.log                     1

+DATA/mydb/onlinelog/group_4.264.705065691                  4

+DATA/mydb/onlinelog/group_5.265.705065703                  5

+DATA/mydb/onlinelog/group_6.266.705065719                  6

SQL> alter system switch logfile;

System altered.

SQL> alter database drop logfile group 2;

Database altered.

SQL> alter database drop logfile group 3;

Database altered.

SQL> alter database drop logfile group 4;

Database altered.

SQL> alter database drop logfile group 1;

Database altered.

Add additional control file.

If an additional control file is required for redundancy,

you can create it in ASM as you would on any other filesystem.

SQL> connect sys/sys@prod1 as sysdba
Connected to an idle instance.
SQL> startup mount
ORACLE instance started.

SQL> alter database backup controlfile to '+DATA/cf2.dbf';

Database altered.

SQL> alter system set control_files='+DATA/cf1.dbf '
,'+DATA/cf2.dbf' scope=spfile;

System altered.

SQL> shutdown immediate;
ORA-01109: database not open

Database dismounted.
ORACLE instance shut down.
SQL> startup
ORACLE instance started.

SQL> select name from v$controlfile;

NAME
---------------------------------------
+DATA/cf1.dbf
+DATA/cf2.dbf

step 6:Migrate spfile to ASM:

Create a copy of the SPFILE in the ASM disk group.
In this example, the SPFILE for the migrated database will be stored as +DISK/spfile.

If the database is using an SPFILE already, then run these commands:

run {
BACKUP AS BACKUPSET SPFILE;
RESTORE SPFILE TO "+DISK/spfile";
}


If you are not using an SPFILE, then use CREATE SPFILE
from SQL*Plus to create the new SPFILE in ASM.
For example, if your parameter file is called /private/init.ora,
use the following command:

SQL> create spfile='+DISK/spfile' from pfile='/private/init.ora';

After successfully migrating all the data files
over to ASM, the old data files are no longer
needed and can be removed. Your single-instance
database is now running on ASM!
