Oracle ASM 12c on Linux

How to setup Oracle ASM 12c on Linux
Software used:-
1.VMWARE 10
2.Redhat enterprise linux 6.5(64 bit)
3.Oracle database 12C (64 bit)
4.Oracle Grid infrastructure 12c(64 bit)

What to Setup:-

1. Setup oracle grid infrastructure for standalone server “ASM”
2. Setup oracle Database

Update /etc/sysctl.conf
[root@server1]# vi /etc/sysctl.conf
Scroll to the bottom and add the following:

fs.file-max = 6815744
kernel.sem = 250 32000 100 128
kernel.shmmni = 4096
kernel.shmall = 1073741824
kernel.shmmax = 4398046511104
net.core.rmem_default = 262144
net.core.rmem_max = 4194304
net.core.wmem_default = 262144
net.core.wmem_max = 1048576
fs.aio-max-nr = 1048576
net.ipv4.ip_local_port_range = 9000 65500
:wq

Run the following command to change the current kernel parameters.
/sbin/sysctl -p

Update /etc/security/limits.conf
[root@server1]# vi /etc/security/limits.conf
Scroll to the bottom and above the “# End of file” line, add:

oracle   soft   nofile    1024
oracle   hard   nofile    65536
oracle   soft   nproc    16384
oracle   hard   nproc    16384
oracle   soft   stack    10240
oracle   hard   stack    32768

:wq

Amend the “/etc/security/limits.d/90-nproc.conf” file as described below.
# Change this
*          soft    nproc    1024

# To this
* – soft    nproc    16384

**IMPORTANT: Make sure selinux is disabled.

Check the kernel version:-
[root@server1 var]# uname -r
2.6.32-358.el6.x86_64

Now we would require to install the rpm’s required for asm installation
these are the packages required for asm.

–oracleasm
–oracleasm-support
–oracleasmlib
the last 2 packages can be found from the following link
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/server-storage/linux/asmlib/rhel6-1940776.html

oracle kmod-oracleasm rpm download link for el6
http://public-yum.oracle.com/repo/OracleLinux/OL6/latest/x86_64/getPackage/kmod-oracleasm-2.0.6.rh1-2.el6.x86_64.rpm

[root@server3 ~]# rpm -Uvh oracleasm-support-2.1.8-1.el6.x86_64.rpm
[root@server3 ~]# rpm -Uvh kmod-oracleasm-2.0.6.rh1-2.el6.x86_64.rpm
[root@server3 ~]# rpm -Uvh oracleasmlib-2.0.4-1.el6.x86_64.rpm

Create groups:-
[root@server3 tmp]# groupadd -g 1000 oinstall
[root@server3 tmp]# groupadd -g 1200 dba
[root@server3 tmp]# useradd -g oinstall -G dba -d /home/oracle oracle

Create directory structures:-
[root@server3 u01]# mkdir -p /u01/app/oracle/product/12.1.0/grid
[root@server3 u01]# mkdir -p /u01/app/oracle/product/12.1.0/db_1

Assigning proper permission:-
[root@server3 u01]# chown -Rf oracle:oinstall /u01/
[root@server3 u01]# chmod -Rf 775 /u01/

Set up the oracle user environment
For oracle user:-
[root@server1 var]# su – oracle

[oracle@server1]#vi .bash_profile
#export PATH
# Oracle Settings
TMP=/tmp; export TMP
TMPDIR=$TMP; export TMPDIR
ORACLE_HOSTNAME=server3.soumya.com; export ORACLE_HOSTNAME
ORACLE_UNQNAME=orcl; export ORACLE_UNQNAME
ORACLE_BASE=/u01/app/oracle; export ORACLE_BASE
GRID_HOME=/u01/app/oracle/product/12.1.0/grid; export GRID_HOME
DB_HOME=$ORACLE_BASE/product/12.1.0/db_1; export DB_HOME
ORACLE_HOME=$DB_HOME; export ORACLE_HOME
ORACLE_SID=orcl; export ORACLE_SID
ORACLE_TERM=xterm; export ORACLE_TERM
BASE_PATH=/usr/sbin:$PATH; export BASE_PATH
PATH=$ORACLE_HOME/bin:$BASE_PATH; export PATH
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$ORACLE_HOME/lib:/lib:/usr/lib;
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$ORACLE_HOME/lib:/lib:/usr/lib; export LD_LIBRARY_PATH
CLASSPATH=$ORACLE_HOME/JRE:$ORACLE_HOME/jlib:$ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/jlib; export CLASSPATHH
if [ $USER = “oracle” ]; then
if [ $SHELL = “/bin/ksh” ]; then
ulimit -p 16384
ulimit -n 65536
else
ulimit -u 16384 -n 65536
fi
fi

alias grid_env=’. /home/oracle/grid_env’
alias db_env=’. /home/oracle/db_env’

:wq(save & exit)

[oracle@server1 ~]$ . .bash_profile

Create a file called “/home/oracle/db_env” with the following contents :-

[oracle@server1 ~]$vi /home/oracle/db_env

ORACLE_SID=orcl; export ORACLE_SID
ORACLE_HOME=$DB_HOME; export ORACLE_HOME
PATH=$ORACLE_HOME/bin:$BASE_PATH; export PATH
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$ORACLE_HOME/lib:/lib:/usr/lib; export LD_LIBRARY_PATH
CLASSPATH=$ORACLE_HOME/JRE:$ORACLE_HOME/jlib:$ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/jlib; export CLASSPATH

:wq(save & exit)

Create a file called “/home/oracle/grid_env” with the following contents:-

[oracle@server1 ~]$vi /home/oracle/gid_env
ORACLE_SID=+ASM; export ORACLE_SID
ORACLE_HOME=$GRID_HOME; export ORACLE_HOME
PATH=$ORACLE_HOME/bin:$BASE_PATH; export PATH
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$ORACLE_HOME/lib:/lib:/usr/lib; export LD_LIBRARY_PATH
CLASSPATH=$ORACLE_HOME/JRE:$ORACLE_HOME/jlib:$ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/jlib; export CLASSPATH

:wq(save & exit)

[oracle@server1 ~]$ chmod 775 /home/oracle/db_env
[oracle@server1 ~]$ chmod 775 /home/oracle/grid_env

Now you will be able to switch environments between oracle and asm instance as follows.
[oracle@server3 ~]$ db_env
[oracle@server3 ~]$ echo $ORACLE_SID
orcl
[oracle@server3 ~]$ echo $ORACLE_HOME
/u01/app/oracle/product/12.1.0/db_1
[oracle@server3 ~]$ grid_env
[oracle@server3 ~]$ echo $ORACLE_HOME
/u01/app/oracle/product/12.1.0/grid
[oracle@server3 ~]$ echo $ORACLE_SID
+ASM

Now  we will add 3 disks using vmware.
So open vmware workstation and go to settings and add hard disk from there,add 3 different disks size of atleast 10GB each.

[root@server1]# echo “- – -“> /sys/class/scsi_host/host0/scan

******
P.S. if the above command doesnt show the newly added disk try this
[root@server1]#grep mpt /sys/class/scsi_host/host?/proc_name
/sys/class/scsi_host/host2/proc_name:mptspi

then run this
[root@server1]# echo “- – -“> /sys/class/scsi_host/host2/scan
******

using the above command we can avoid rebooting the machine to  mount the hard disks.

Give proper ownership and permissions to the new partition:-
chown -Rf oracle:oinstall /dev/sdb1
chown -Rf oracle:oinstall /dev/sdc1
chown -Rf oracle:oinstall /dev/sdd1

chmod -Rf 664 /dev/sdb1
chmod -Rf 664 /dev/sdc1
chmod -Rf 664 /dev/sdd1

Now configure ASM and create ASM disks:-

[root@server1 ~]# /etc/init.d/oracleasm configure
Configuring the Oracle ASM library driver.

This will configure the on-boot properties of the Oracle ASM library
driver.  The following questions will determine whether the driver is
loaded on boot and what permissions it will have.  The current values
will be shown in brackets (‘[]’).  Hitting <ENTER> without typing an
answer will keep that current value.  Ctrl-C will abort.

Default user to own the driver interface []: oracle
Default group to own the driver interface []: oinstall
Start Oracle ASM library driver on boot (y/n) [n]: y
Scan for Oracle ASM disks on boot (y/n) [y]: y
Writing Oracle ASM library driver configuration: done
Initializing the Oracle ASMLib driver: [  OK  ]
Scanning the system for Oracle ASMLib disks: [  OK  ]

To create ASM disks:-
[root@server1 ~]#/etc/init.d/oracleasm createdisk VOL1 /dev/sdb1
[root@server1 ~]#/etc/init.d/oracleasm createdisk VOL2 /dev/sdc1
[root@server1 ~]#/etc/init.d/oracleasm createdisk VOL3 /dev/sdd1

Now we will install grid infrastructure software.
Give proper permission to the software folder.

[root@server1 ] chown -Rf oracle:oinstall /u01/linuxamd64_12102_grid_1of2.zip
root@server1 ] chown -Rf oracle:oinstall /u01/linuxamd64_12102_grid_2of2.zip

[root@server1 u01]# unzip linuxamd64_12102_grid_1of2.zip
[root@server1 u01]# unzip linuxamd64_12102_grid_2of2.zip
[root@server1 u01]#su – oracle
[oracle@server1 u01]$ cd grid/
[oracle@server1 grid]$ sh runInstaller

Select “install and configure grid infrastructure for a standalone server” -> Next -> select 3 Disks from candidate disk option rest option will be unchanged  ->
select “use same password for these accounts ” and provide password -> specify os groups OSDBA-oinstall,
OSOPER-oinstall, OSASM-oinstall -> Select Install location “oracle base- /u01/app/oracle ” , “software location- /u01/app/oracle/product/12.1.0/grid” -> Next and
start the installation.> execute “/u01/app/oracle/product/12.1.0/grid/root.sh” script from root user from another terminal.

I got this error while installing grid infrastructure.To fix this steps are below:-
**INFO: Read: ORA-00845: MEMORY_TARGET not supported on this system

To increase the size
# mount -o remount,size=3G /dev/shm
Verify the size
# df -h
To make permanent changes to your file system update your fstab
# vi /etc/fstab
tmpfs  /dev/shm  tmpfs  defaults,size=3G  0 0

[root@server1 u01]#

[grid@server3 app]$ sqlplus  / as sysasm
SQL> select instance_name from v$instance;

INSTANCE_NAME
—————-
+ASM

Now we will setup oracle database .

[oracle@server1 u01]$ cd /u01/database/
[oracle@server3 u01]$ sh runInstaller

select “Create & configure a database” -> Server Class -> Single instance database installation -> Advanced Installa -> Next ->Enterprise edition ->
Select “oracle base- /u01/app/oracle ” , “software location- /u01/app/oracle/product/12.1.0/db_1” -> select “general purpose” -> Global database
name- orcl , SID name – orcl -> Next -> select ” Oracle automatic storage management”-> Next ->Next ->Next-> select ” use same password for all accounts”->
Next -> Next -> Install

Done!!!…
