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

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/redo02.log                     2

/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/redo03.log                     3

/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!

great article, but I prefer the combination of backups and recovery services, have you ever heard about the service of sql 2000 repair tool page error, provided by Recovery Toolbox for SQL Server? Indeed, it is not possible to write a separate article for all database-related issues. The conversion of database files is possible, too

hi...

Just need few clarifications .. do we need not open the DB in resetlog mode?? i guess we need to incomplete recovery ?? since i tried to open db and it said either to open in resetlogs or noresetlogs... please let me know yoru suggestions...

Rajeshkumar Govindarajan said...

Oracle is forcing you to make a choice:

Use RESETLOGS after incomplete recovery (when the entire redo stream wasn't applied). RESETLOGS will initialize the logs, reset your log sequence number, and start a new "incarnation" of the database.

Use NORESETLOGS when doing complete recovery (when the entire redo stream was applied). Oracle will continue using the existing (valid) log files.

Metalink 16530.1 has this information:

After recover database operation, open the database with: ALTER DATABASE OPEN [NO]RESETLOGS

NORESETLOGS

The NORESETLOGS option does not clear the redo log files during startup and the online redo logs to be used for recovery. Only used in scenario where MANUAL RECOVERY is started, CANCEL is used, and then RECOVER DATABASE is started.

RESETLOGS

CAUTION: Never use RESETLOGS unless necessary.

Once RESETLOGS is used then the redo log files cannot be used and any completed transactions in those redo logs are lost!!

Before using the RESETLOGS option take an offline backup of the database.

The RESETLOGS option clears all the online redo logs and modifies all the online data files to indicate no recovery is needed. After resetting the redo logs none of the existing log files or data file backups can be used. In the control file, the log sequence number is modified, which is very important for recovery purposes. The recovery will be applied only to the log files whose sequence number is greater than log sequence number in the control file. One has to be very cautious when using RESETLOGS option. It is important to remember that all datafiles must be online otherwise they will become useless once the database is up

Hi Raj,

I have gone through all your posts and found these are of great help. Thanks a lot for sharing.
Just one clarification required:-
I have one single instance database and i made some transactions into that and then i want to convert it into a RAC database. I followed the DBCA method using template. I choose OFA while preparing the template.

I converted that to RAC database (ASM) successfully but the only problem is i don't see the user in which i have made the transactions and the tables as well.

Please suggest.

Thanks again for all your help.
