Benefits of ASM

Dynamically Add and Remove Disk/Space while database is running

Works with Oracle Managed Files (OMF)

ASM can coexist with other storage types

ASM Can Improve I/O Performance

When in a Cluster ASM Supports Rolling Upgrades

ASM Reduces Management and Administrative Overhead

ASM can support storage for multiple Databases and Database Versions

Flexible Redundancy Options

Oracle Enterprise Manager Integration

September 12 / Slide 12 / Title of Document

Any Issues?

ASM Requires additional Home location for single instance

implementations, meaning additional space for install is required.

For Normal or High Redundancy Disk Groups the disk for the failgroup(s)
are required when the disk group is created.

RMAN is required to backup databases using ASM.

ASM does not provide any power management features, all power
management features are controlled outside the ASM technology stack.

INFRASTRUCTURE

September 12 / Slide 14 / Title of Document

Storage Options

ASM works with virtually any storage type

Direct Attached Storage

Network Attached Storage
Storage Area Networks
Solid State Disk

Storage regardless of the type is presented to the server as

a RAW device(s)

Operating System on the Server Controls disk use

September 12 / Slide 15 / Title of Document

Redundancy

External

Normal

Disk hardware controls the Redundancy

1 disk mirror or failgroup

High

2 disk mirrors or failgroups

September 12 / Slide 16 / Title of Document

Redundancy

Multipathing

provide failover by using redundant physical paths between server

and the storage subsystem.
If one or more components fails, then applications can still access
data on the storage

Multipathing used with Storage Area Network (SAN), Host

Bus Adapter, interface cable, or host port on a multiported
storage array.

September 12 / Slide 17 / Title of Document

Database Storage

Disks assigned to ASM Disk Groups

ASM Instance manages database storage to disk groups

Database datafiles, tempfiles, controlfiles, spfiles and redo

logs stored in ASM Disk Groups

Database can store files in one or more Disk Groups

September 12 / Slide 18 / Title of Document

File Storage (ASM Clustered File System)

ASM Clustered File System (ACFS)

11gR2 added the capability for ASM to act as a file system for
all operating system files with ACFS

Can act as a local filesystem or a cluster filesystem

Works natively at the OS layer to act just like any other

filesystem

ASM Creation Assistant can be used to create ACFS

filesystems

ASM command line utility can be used to create and manage

ACFS file systems (asmcmd)
September 12 / Slide 19 / Title of Document

VOLUME MANAGEMENT

September 12 / Slide 20 / Title of Document

Comparison to other Volume Managers

ASM Requires RMAN for Database Backups while other

volume managers will allow non-RMAN backups.

ASM is being taught with all Oracle Database Training and it

Oracles Direction for the future. Other volume managers
may require additional training to utilize effectively.

ASM Cluster File System adds capability to utilize ASM as a

regular native OS filesystem.

ASM is a no-cost cluster file system option, 3rd party volume

managers require additional license purchase and support
costs.

ASM typically provides better performance

Use with Other Volume Managers

ASM co-exists with other cluster file system or native OS file

systems.

Mix database and non-database files on different filesystems

Use ASM for Database files and non-database files

Use OCFS2, Veritas, ext3, etc. database and non database files
Use ASM, OCFS2, Veritas, etc. for database and non-database files

Move database and non-database files between different

filesystems including ASM.

How ASM can replace other Logical Volume Managers

11gR2 adds ASM Cluster File System expanding the capability

of ASM to be used as a native OS filesystem.

Create ASM file systems/volumes for databases

Create ACFS file systems which use ASM for storage for nondatabase files.

ACFS provides full volume management for virtually all file

types.

ASM with ACFS however can not replace the native OS

volume manager for root and boot volumes and ASM/ACFS
was not designed to support root or boot volumes for the
operating system but to supplement and add additional
capabilities

ASM IN A HIGH AVAILABILITY

ENVIRONMENT

Fail Groups

FailGroups are utilized in NORMAL and HIGH Redundancy

Disk Groups.

FailGroups provide Disk Group storage protection using

mirrors within Disk Groups

FailGroups can be located on multiple storage systems

protecting against storage system failure

Failgroups can be located at a separate site based on

network and latency conditions.

Real Application Clusters (RAC) Database

ASM was designed to provide a Highly Available Clustered

Storage for Real Application Clusters

Provide highest availability for RAC

External storage Redundancy using RAID 10, RAID 5, RAID 6 to

protect against individual disk failures
ASM FailGroups to protect against Storage System Failures, storage
systems can be located at separate sites depending on network
capability and latency.

Multiple Nodes in cluster provide protection against node

failure.

DataGuard

Data Guard Provides for long distance cross site failover

Uses ASM effectively

ASM can simplify the building and maintaining Data Guard

Standby database

RAC capable standbys from RAC primary or single instance

standby from RAC primary.

Closes the maximum availability and scalability gap that RAC

and ASM alone can not provide.

PREPARE VOLUMES FOR ASM

Requirements

For Linux ASMLib utility is not required, however

recommended and considered best practice. ** Not support
in Red Hat 6 for ASMLib going forward based on most
recent information

For Linux ASMLib should be installed and configured

RAW volumes presented to the host/operating System

RAW volumes partitioned

Permissions and ownership of volumes for oracle and dba or

ASM Admin group

Make permissions and ownership of volumes persistent

across host restarts

ASMLib for Linux

asmcmd

SQL> alter diskgroup undo mount ;

asmcmd> mount undo ;

Un-mount

SQL Plus

SQL> alter diskgroup undo dismount ;

asmcmd

asmcmd> umount undo ;

Add Disk/Space to ASM Disk Group

Space is added to a disk group by the addition of ASM

disks/volumes.

SQL Plus

SQL> alter diskgroup test add disk ORCL:ASMDSK5

Remove Disk/Space from ASM Disk Group

Space is removed from an ASM Disk Group by removing

disks from the diskgroup.

Disk Group can only be changed upward (so be careful)

SQL Plus

SQL> ALTER DISKGROUP data SET ATTRIBUTE 'compatible.asm' = '11.1';

Rename Disk Group

Starting will 11g Release 2 a disk group can be renamed using

the renamedg command line utility

asmcmd

renamedg dgname=olddiskgroup newdgname=newdiskgroup

** Note: If Disk Group Contains Database Files the database files

will need to be relocated. This will require off lining the
tablespaces that have datafiles on the diskgroup or shutting
the database down prior to renaming the diskgroup. Then
once diskgroup is rename relocating all files with alter
database rename command for new Disk Group Name.

Managing ASM File Access Control for Disk Groups

Managing file and directory is done using the asmcmd

command line utility

Managing access in asm is much like managing file and

directory access in unix operating systems.

You have users, groups, directory and file permissions

controlled through the use of commands

mkusr
mkgrp
rmgrp
rmusr
chown
chgrp
chmod

Managing ASM File Access Control for Disk Groups

mkusr Create New User

mkgrp Create New Group

asmcmd> mkusr dg1 myuser ;

asmcmd> mkgrp dg1 mygroup ;

grpmod Add/Remove Users for Group

-a Add User

grpmod a dg1 mygroup myuser

grpmod d dg1 mygroup myuser

rmgrp Remove Group

-d Remove User

asmcmd> rmgrp dg1 mygroup ;

rmusr Remove User

asmcmd> rmusr dg1 myuser ;

Managing ASM File Access Control for Disk Groups

Drop ASM Disk Group

A disk group can be dropped using either SQL Plus or the

asmcmd command line utility

SQL Plus
DROP DISKGROUP dg1 ;
** If Disk Group has files then use the INCLUDING CONTENTS clause
SQL> DROP DISKGROUP disk_group_1 INCLUDING CONTENTS;

asmcmd
asmcmd> dgdrop dg1 ;
** If Disk Group has files then use the r option
asmcmd> dgdrop r dg1 ;

ASM CLUSTER FILE SYSTEM

Overview

Requires installation of 11g Release 2 (11.2) Grid Infrastructure Software

ACFS executes as a UNIX (POSIX and X/OPEN compatible) file system for
Linux and UNIX and ACFS works as a Windows Filesystem on Windows.

Applications and OS commands work natively against ACFS

Exabyte capable files and file system capacities on 64 bit platforms

Peer to peer, multi-node shared filesystem with direct, coherent and

cache I/O to ASM Storage.

Works as a Clustered or non-clustered filesystem

Oracle ACFS are provided with single node file system coherency for
single host or when distributed across cluster members.

Oracle ACFS file system can be used for an Oracle Database Home file
system.

Oracle ACFS Driver Model

Oracle ACFS is installed as a dynamically loadable Operating

System filesystem driver.

Driver is implemented as a Virtual File System (VFS)

Integrated with the native operating system

Oracle ACFS Mount Model and Namespace

Hierarchical filesystem

Tree-structured Namespace

Files
Sub-directories
Files are the leaf nodes
Single-filesystem naming model

Not designed to be a root filesystem or bootable.

Oracle ACFS Mount Registry

Multi-platform mount registration facility

Automatically mount file systems on all nodes in a cluster

that are registered

Clustered and non-clustered filesystems are registered in the

Mount Registry, most useful for clusters really

Clustered see acfsutil command

Non-clustered see srvctl add filesystem command

Creates the mount point if it does not exist

Registry mount actions will automatically mount associated

ASM disk groups

Oracle ACFS Snapshots

Point in time copy of an ACFS filesystem

Works very similar to SAN Volume or Flash Copies

Snapshots are immediately available for use after creation

Always online while the file system is mounted

Snapshot storage is maintained within the file system

Snapshots are administered with the acfsutil snap

commands

63 snapshot views supported for each file system

Oracle ACFS and Backup and Restore

Uses same backup capabilities as other filesystems for the

host operating system environment.

ACFS snapshots can be dynamically created and used to

present a consistent view of an active file system for a
backup

NOTE: Windows backup applications that depend upon

reparse points or the Windows Volume Shadow Copy
Service (VSS) may not be supported.

Oracle ACFS Integration with ASM

ACFS requires ASM for storage

Always integrated with ASM

Configured with a traditional device file

ACFS filesystem inherits ASM storage management features

like balanced distribution, mirroring, dynamic resizing, etc.

Driver established connection with ASM instance

Always unmount ACFS filesystems prior to ASM instance

shutdown or prior t0 unmounting a disk group to avoid the
filesystem being put into an error state.

Loading ACFS Drivers / Modules

To utilize ACFS the ACFS drivers and modules must be

loaded into the operating system

For Grid Infrastructure installations in a cluster the drivers and

modules are loaded automatically
Single instance Grid Infrastructure installations the ACFS
Drivers/Modules must be loaded Manaually

Load ACFS Drivers/Modules Manually

Log into the host operating system as root

<GRIDHOME>/bin/acfsload start
Place the load command into /etc/rc.d/rc.local for the load to be
persistent across node restarts

Create/Manage ACFS File System

Must first have a Disk Group for the ACFS file system to use

Disk Group Compatibility must be 11.2.0 or higher

SQL> select group_number, name, compatibility,

database_compatibility from v$asm_diskgroup;
alter diskgroup avm SET ATTRIBUTE 'compatible.advm' = '11.2.0.0'

Create an ACFS File System through ASMCA or asmcmd

Create using asmcmd ASM command line utility

Get ACFS volume information

volcreate -d diskgroupa -s 10G volume

volinfo a dg1

Enable volumes in a Disk Group

All - volenable a dg1

Volume volenable d dg1 <volumename>

Create/Manage ACFS File System

Resize a ACFS volume in a Disk Group

ACFS Volume Statistics

volstat -d <diskgroup_name> <volume_name>

Disable ACFS volume

volresize -d <diskgroupname> -s 2G [ -f ] <volumename>

voldisable -d <diskgroup_name> <volume_name>

Remove an ACFS volume

voldelete -d <diskgroup_name > <volume_name>
