How to Register and Configure Oracle ASM Resource Groups in the Global Cluster (CLI)

Before You Begin

• Ensure that the Oracle Clusterware framework resource is created and that dependencies are configured between the Oracle RAC framework resource and the Oracle Clusterware framework resource.

• Ensure that the Oracle RAC framework resource group, the multiple-owner volume-manager framework resource group if used, and their resources are online.

1. Register the Oracle ASM resource types for the data service.
   1. Register the scalable Oracle ASM instance proxy resource type.

      # clresourcetype register SUNW.scalable_asm_instance_proxy

   2. Register the Oracle ASM disk-group resource type.
      • For Oracle 10g and 11g release 1 only, use the SUNW.asm_diskgroup resource type.

        # clresourcetype register SUNW.asm_diskgroup

      • For Oracle 11g release 2 or 12c only, use the SUNW.scalable_asm_diskgroup_proxy resource type.

        # clresourcetype register SUNW.scalable_asm_diskgroup_proxy

2. Create resource groups asm-inst-rg and asm-dg-rg.

   # clresourcegroup create -S asm-inst-rg asm-dg-rg

   asm-inst-rg

   Specifies the name of the ASM instance resource group.

   asm-dg-rg

   Specifies the name of the ASM disk-group resource group.

3. Set a strong positive affinity on rac-fmwk-rg by asm-inst-rg.

   # clresourcegroup set -p rg_affinities=++rac-fmwk-rg asm-inst-rg

4. Set a strong positive affinity on asm-inst-rg by asm-dg-rg.

   # clresourcegroup set -p rg_affinities=++asm-inst-rg asm-dg-rg

5. If the Oracle ASM home is located on a PxFS-based cluster file system or a Sun QFS shared file system, create a storage resource and bring it online.
   • For a cluster file system, create a SUNW.HAStoragePlus resource.

     # clresourcetype register SUNW.HAStoragePlus
     
     # clresource create -g asm-inst-rg \
     -t SUNW.HAStoragePlus \
     -p FileSystemMountpoints=clusterfilesystem \
     asm-stor-rs
     # clresourcegroup online -eM asm-inst-rg

     -p FileSystemMountpoints=clusterfilesystem

     Sets the cluster file system.

     asm-stor-rs

     Specifies the name of the Oracle ASM storage resource that you are creating.

   • For a Sun QFS shared file system, create a SUNW.qfs resource.

     # clresourcetype register SUNW.qfs
     # clresourcegroup create qfs-rg
     
     # clresource create -g qfs-rg \
     -t SUNW.qfs \
     -p QFSFileSystem=qfs-mp \
     qfs-rs
     
     # clresourcegroup online -eM qfs-rg

     qfs-rg

     Specifies the name of the QFS resource group.

     -p QFSFileSystem=qfs-mp

     Sets the mount point of the QFS shared file system that is used for the Oracle ASM home.

     qfs-rs

     Specifies the name of the QFS resource.

6. If you use a Sun QFS shared file system for the Oracle ASM home, create a scalable mount-point resource, set the resource dependency, and bring the resource group online.

   # clresourcetype register SUNW.ScalMountPoint
   # clresourcegroup create -S scal-mp-rg
   
   # clresource create -g scal-mp-rg \
   -t SUNW.ScalMountPoint \
   -p mountpointdir=qfs-mp \
   -p filesystemtype=s-qfs \
   -p targetfilesystem=qfs-fs \
   -p resource_dependencies_restart=qfs-rs \
   qfs-mp-rs
   
   # clresourcegroup online -eM scal-mp-rg

   -p mountpointdir=qfs-mp

   Sets the QFS mount point.

   -p targetfilesystem=qfs-fs

   Sets the QFS shared file system.

   scal-mp-rg

   Specifies the name of the scalable mount-point resource group.

7. Create a SUNW.scalable_asm_instance_proxy resource and set the resource dependencies.
   • For a PxFS-based cluster file system or Oracle ACFS file system, perform the following commands:

     # clresource create -g asm-inst-rg \
     -t SUNW.scalable_asm_instance_proxy \
     -p ORACLE_HOME=oracle-asm-home \
     -p CRS_HOME=Grid_home \
     -p "ORACLE_SID{node1}"=asm-instance1 \
     -p "ORACLE_SID{node2}"=asm-instance2 \
     -p resource_dependencies_restart=asm-stor-rs \
     -p resource_dependencies_offline_restart=crs-fmwk-rs \
     -d asm-inst-rs

     -t SUNW.scalable_asm_instance_proxy

     Specifies the type of the resource to add.

     -p ORACLE_HOME=oracle-asm-home

     Sets the path to the Oracle ASM home directory.

     -p CRS_HOME=Grid_home

     Sets the path to the Oracle Clusterware home directory.

     -p ORACLE_SID=asm-instance

     Sets the Oracle ASM system identifier.

     -d asm-inst-rs

     Specifies the name of the Oracle ASM instance resource that you create.

   • For a QFS shared file system, perform the following commands:

     # clresource create -g asm-inst-rg \
     -t SUNW.scalable_asm_instance_proxy \
     -p ORACLE_HOME=oracle-asm-home \
     -p CRS_HOME=Grid_home \
     -p "ORACLE_SID{node1}"=asm-instance1 \
     -p "ORACLE_SID{node2}"=asm-instance2 \
     -p resource_dependencies_offline_restart=crs-fmwk-rs,qfs-mp-rs \
     -d asm-inst-rs

     qfs-mp-rs

     Specifies the name of the scalable mount-point resource.

   • For a local file system, perform the following commands:

     # clresource create -g asm-inst-rg \
     -t SUNW.scalable_asm_instance_proxy \
     -p ORACLE_HOME=oracle-asm-home \
     -p CRS_HOME=Grid_home \
     -p "ORACLE_SID{node1}"=asm-instance1 \
     -p "ORACLE_SID{node2}"=asm-instance2 \
     -p resource_dependencies_offline_restart=crs-fmwk-rs \
     -d asm-inst-rs

8. Add an Oracle ASM disk-group resource type to the asm-dg-rg resource group.
   • For Oracle 10g and 11g release 1 only, use the SUNW.asm_diskgroup resource type.

     # clresource create -g asm-dg-rg \
     -t SUNW.asm_diskgroup \
     -p asm_diskgroups=dg[,dg…] \
     -p resource_dependencies_offline_restart=asm-inst-rs,asm-stor-rs \
     -d asm-dg-rs

     -t SUNW.asm_diskgroup

     Specifies the type of the resource to add.

     -p asm_diskgroups=dg

     Specifies the ASM disk group.

     -d asm-dg-rs

     Specifies the name of the resource that you are creating.

   • For Oracle 11g release 2 or 12c only, use the SUNW.scalable_asm_diskgroup_proxy resource type.

     # clresource create -g asm-dg-rg -t SUNW.scalable_asm_diskgroup_proxy \
     -p asm_diskgroups=dg[,dg…] \
     -p resource_dependencies_offline_restart=asm-inst-rs,asm-stor-rs \
     -d asm-dg-rs

9. Bring online the asm-inst-rg resource group in a managed state on a cluster node.

   # clresourcegroup online -eM asm-inst-rg

10. Bring online the asm-dg-rg resource group in a managed state on a cluster node.

    # clresourcegroup online -eM asm-dg-rg

11. For an Oracle ACFS file system, create the Oracle ACFS proxy resource.
    1. Register the Oracle ACFS proxy resource type.

       # clresourcetype register SUNW.scalable_acfs_proxy

    2. Create the Oracle ACFS proxy resource group.

       Set a strong positive affinity on asm-dg-rg by acfs-rg.

       # clresourcegroup create -S -p rg_affinities=++asm-dg-rg acfs-rg

       acfs-rg

       Specifies the Oracle ACFS proxy resource group.

    3. Create a SUNW.scalable_acfs_proxy resource and set the resource dependencies.

       # clresource create -g asm-inst-rg \
       -t SUNW.scalable_acfs_proxy \
       -p ACFS_MOUNTPOINT=acfs-mount-path \
       -p resource_dependencies_offline_restart=asm-dg-rs \
       -d acfs-rs

       -t SUNW.scalable_acfs_proxy

       Specifies the type of the resource to add.

       Sets the path to the Oracle ACFS mount point.

       -d acfs-rs

       Specifies the name of the resource that you are creating.

    4. Bring online the acfs-rg resource in a managed state on a cluster node.

       # clresourcegroup online -eM acfs-rg

12. Verify the Oracle ASM configuration.

    # clresource status +
