What is ASM
ASM stands for Automatic Storage Management
It is Oracle Cluster File System and Volume Manager
Designed for Oracle Database Related Files
Provide Storage management capabilities like striping as
well as mirroring
Not Certified for
Trace Files
Data files Temp File
ORACLE_HOME
Log files Voting Disk SPfile
OCR Files
Archived files Alert Log DG file
Password File
Control Files Binary File (BFILE) Flashback Logs
DataGuard Datapump File
Change Tracking File

Benefits of Automatic Storage Management
Provide efficient management of storage
No need for buggy OCFS or expensive 3rd party CFS
Provide integrated Cluster File system and Volume
management capabilities

Automatic online re-organization of disk space for any new
addition/removal of storage capacity
Disk Group

Automatic IO load balancing as data is striped across disks and
better performance
Available for both Single Instance as well as RAC instance
Free built in 10g kernel – Available even in Standard Edition
Prevents Fragmentation and hence no need to relocate data to
reclaim space
Overcomes file system size limitations
Prevents accidental file deletion
Backup with RMAN

Pre-Requisite for ASM
Need CSS daemon for creating an ASM instance
$ ps –ef | grep css
1. In RAC, it is done by Oracle CLusterware
2. In Single Instance environment, you have to run
# $ORACLE_HOME/bin/localconfig add
To reconfigure the CSS daemon to run from the new Oracle home:
# $ORACLE_HOME/bin/localconfig reset $ORACLE_HOME
Need Additional at least 100M of memory for ASM instance

ASM Components – ASM Instance
10g has two types of Instance
INSTANCE_TYPE = asm ASM Instance
INSTANCE_TYPE = rdbms [Default] DB Instance
Feature of ASM instance
Do not mount the database but manage metadata required to
make ASM files available for DB instances
DB Instance access ASM files directly and contact ASM instance
only for the layout of ASM files
Smaller than DB instance < 100M
Contains no physical files like log files / control files or data files
Requires only the init.ora file for startup
Instance Name is +ASM or +ASM1..n [RAC]

ASM instance have no user dictionary and so only way to connect
is OS authentication with SYSDBA or SYSOPER privileges
SYSDBA SYSOPER
ALL SYSOPER as on RHS STARTUP/SHUTDOWN

ASM Instance Binaries

Use same ORACLE_HOME for ASM and DB Instance , if there is only one
DB instance
Use separate ORACLE_HOME for ASM instance if it supports several
database instances

ASM Components – ASM & DB Instance
Three New Background Process for ASM instance
asm_rbal_+ASM -- Co-ordinate rebalance activity for Disk Group
10g R2 asm_gmon_+ASM -- Disk Group Monitor Process
asm_arb0_+ASM -- Perform Actual rebalance using Data extent
movement
-- ARB0 – ARBa depending ASM_POWER_LIMIT setting
Two New Background Process for DB instance

ora_rbal_TEST -- performs global opens of the disk in the Disk groups
asm_asmb_TEST -- Connects to Foreground process in ASM instance to
receive periodic updates and verify that both ASM
and DB instance are healthy.
Database instances are allowed to connect to only one ASM instance at a time
and hence they have at most one ASMB process

ASM Components – ASM Disks
It is first task in ASM environment to discover and add Disks to ASM
management
In 10g Rel 2, Disk names are unique within Disk Group while in Rel 1 it
is unique within ASM instance.
SQL> CREATE DISKGROUP data_dg1 EXTERNAL REDUNDANCY DISK
‘/dev/dsk/sdc4’,’/dev/dsk/sdd4’;
SQL> SELECT name FROM v$asm_disk;
Name
DATA_DG1_0000

Disk Selection for Disk Group

The disk must not have a pre-existing ASM header
The disk cannot have an Oracle File header
The disk is not already part of another Disk group
The above validation prevents ASM from destroying any
In use data device
Adding Disks to Disk Groups

Disk Group
Check if disk is usable
Format the disk
Rebalance the Disk group
Means Disk is of Oracle Object but can only be added to disk group
FOREIGN with FORCE keyword
CANDIDATE Means Disk is available to be added to any disk group
PROVISIONED Same as CANDIDATE except that Disk is configured using ASMLIB
FORMER Means Disk was formerly part of some disk group
MEMBER Means Disk is already part of existing disk group

ASM separate files into extent and divides the extent for each file evenly
across all of the disks
Disk or LUN
Database Files
AU are part of only one file
Span multiple ASM disks
A file can only exist in one ASM disk Group
Access Units
Disk Inputs
Disks
LUNS
Partitions
ASM Disk
ASM provides 2 levels of Striping
COARSE – 1 M, each AU is filled to 1M
FINE – 128K are written to each 1M AU and so each
AU has 8 pieces. Good for Logfiles
ASM Components – ASM Disks Configuration - Solaris
ASM with UNIX I/O:
Tablespaces are created on raw character devices managed by ASM using standard Linux I/O routines.
# vi /etc/sysconfig/rawdevices
/dev/raw/raw1 /dev/sdd1
# vi /etc/rc.d/rc.local
chown oracle:dba /dev/raw/raw*
chmod 660 /dev/raw/raw*
ASM with ASMLib I/O:

Tablespaces are created on raw block devices managed by ASM using ASMLib. Download ASMLIB rpm at
http://www.oracle.com/technology/tech/linux/asmlib
# rpm -Uvh oracleasm-support-2.0.1-1.x86_64.rpm

# rpm -Uvh oracleasm-2.6.9-22.0.1.ELsmp-2.0.1-1.x86_64.rpm
# rpm -Uvh oracleasmlib-2.0.1-1.x86_64.rpm
Usage: /etc/init.d/oracleasm
{start|stop|restart|enable|disable|configure|createdisk|deletedisk|querydisk|listdisks|scand
isks| status}
# /etc/init.d/oracleasm createdisk VOL1 /dev/sdb2
Marking disk "/dev/sdb2" as an ASM disk: [ OK ]

ASM Components – ASM Disks Configuration - Linux
Configuring ASM Disk
Create Partitions in Solaris and add them as disks in ASM Doc ID: 271621.1
# ls -lL c0t2d0s4
crw-r----- 1 root sys 32, 20 Feb 24 07:14 c0t2d0s4
This shows that the major and minor device number for this slice is 32,20 respectively.
The 'c' at the beginning shows that this is a character (raw) special file.
Let us create a directory to store these character special files:

# mkdir asmdisk
# cd asmdisk
usage: mknod name [ b/c major minor ] [ p ]

# mknod disk1 c 32 20
# ls -l
crw-r--r-- 1 root other 32, 20 May 7 07:50 disk1
For this to be accessible to the ASM instance, we need to give oracle user permission to this file:
# chown oracle:dba disk1
crw-r--r-- 1 oracle dba 32, 20 May 7 07:50 disk1
asm_diskstring =‘/asmdisk/disk1’
# chown oracle:dba /dev/rdsk/c1t1d1s4

# asm_diskstring =‘/dev/rdsk/c1t1d1s4’

ASM Components – ASM Disk Groups
It is collection of disks that can managed as logical unit.
Easy to administer as number of Disk groups remains same while number of files
and disks continually increases.
After Disk group is created, metadata is stored in SGA on each disk header and
include
Creation data,
Disk Group name and
Redundancy type is stored in SGA and on each Disk header
When you mount the Disk Group, ASM registers the following with CSS
Disk Group name,
Instance name
Oracle Home Path
DB instance use the above information to build TNS string to connect to ASM
Instance
A disk group can contain files from different DB Instances which can be on same
or reside on different servers

ASM Components – ASM Failure Groups
ASM provides internal redundancy and high availability by way of Failure groups
It is also collection of disk and is considered as subset of disk group.
Disk group redundancy can be
Normal – It is Two-way mirroring requiring at least two failure groups
(default)
High – It is high degree Three-way mirroring requiring at least three failure
groups
Once a Disk group is created, its redundancy cannot be changed. The only way
to change he redundancy is to create new Disk group with required redundancy
and move the datafiles on it using RMAN restore or using DBMS_FILE_TRANSFER
ASM does not mirror disks but it mirror extents. When ASM allocates primary
extent (first extent) of a file to one disk in DG, its mirror copy of that extent to
another disk in DG

Final Thoughts …….
Go with Oracle 10g Release 2 on production for ASM environment
Work on the following for backup as well data files movement
RMAN
XMLDB
DBMS_FTP_TRANSFER
You need ASM on Standby ( Physical ) location, if the Primary
database is using ASM
If you are on Linux, then use ASMLIB with ASM

Misc. Tips #2
ASM Metadata
It is stored in all ASM Disks header and contain information
Disk group name
Physical size of all Disks in the Disk Group
Allocation Unit (AU) Size
Disk Own Size
Failure Group
Name of Disk
Creation Date
Redundancy Type
Metadata is also stored as ASM file on ASM disks. These Files are
internal to data and has file_number less than 256. This is the reason
when creating Database on ASM have SYSTEM datafile as file_number as
256 and onwards
Metadata is always mirrored across three disk ( if Available) even you
are choosing EXTERNAL REDUNDACY.
Metadata is also stored in SGA of Database Instance copied by ASMB
