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 RAC framework resource and the Oracle Clusterware framework resource.

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

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

      # clresourcetype register SUNW.scalable_asm_instance_proxy

   2. Register the ASM disk-group resource type.
      • For 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 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 Oracle ASM home is located on a 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 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 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 cluster 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=crs_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 Oracle ASM home directory.

     -p CRS_HOME=crs-home

     Sets the path to the Oracle Clusterware home directory.

     -p ORACLE_SID=asm-instance

     Sets the Oracle 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=crs_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=crs_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 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 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. Verify the Oracle ASM configuration.

    # clresource status +
