ASMCMD Client Cluster Management Commands

This topic provides a summary of the ASMCMD client cluster management commands that are used with Oracle ASM remote instances.

Unless otherwise specified, the ASMCMD cluster management commands should be executed in the Oracle ASM-CSS cluster.

For information about Oracle Flex ASM, refer to "Managing Oracle Flex ASM".

Table 10-38 lists the ASMCMD client cluster management commands with brief descriptions.

Table 10-38 Summary of ASMCMD client cluster management commands

chcc

Purpose

Modifies the configuration for a client cluster.

Syntax and Description

chcc cluster_name [--direct | --indirect]
     [--version client_cluster_version]

The following table lists the options for the chcc command.

Table 10-39 Options for the chcc command

Option Description

cluster_name

Specifies the name of the client cluster.

--direct

Specifies direct storage access.

--indirect

Specifies indirect storage access.

--version client_cluster_version

Specifies the five digit client cluster version if it is different than the storage server version. The storage server version is used if not specified.

To modify the storage access method of a client cluster, you perform the following steps.

  1. As the Oracle Grid Infrastructure user at the Domain Services Cluster (DSC), change the client cluster storage access configuration with the chcc command.

  2. As the Oracle Grid Infrastructure user at the Domain Services Cluster (DSC), export the client cluster configuration into a new cluster manifest file with the mkcc command.

    You can ignore the warning messages reported when the mkcc command is issued.

  3. After you have exported the new cluster manifest file, as the root user on the nodes of client cluster you copy the new cluster manifest file to the nodes with the rootcrs.sh script.

Examples

The following examples show how to modify the storage access method from direct to indirect Oracle ASM storage for the client cluster —–asm and ––gimr components.

Example 10-48 Using the ASMCMD chcc command

As the Oracle Grid Infrastructure user at the Domain Services Cluster (DSC), run the following commands:

$ asmcmd chcc clientCluster1 --indirect

$ asmcmd mkcc clientCluster1 /export/cluster_manifest_new.xml --asm --gimr

As the root user at the client cluster, copy the new cluster manifest file to the client cluster with the following commands.

  1. Run the rootcrs.sh script on every node in the client cluster. 

    # rootcrs.sh --convertcluster STORAGE_ACCESS -manifestfile cluster_manifest_new.xml

  2. Run the rootcrs.sh script with the -lastnode option on last node in the client cluster. 

    # rootcrs.sh --convertcluster STORAGE_ACCESS -manifestfile cluster_manifest_new.xml -lastnode

lscc

Purpose

Lists the configured client clusters.

Syntax and Description

lscc [--suppressheader] [-l] [cluster_name | --file wrap]

The following table lists the options for the lscc command.

Table 10-40 Options for the lscc command

Option Description

–suppressheader

Suppresses column headings from the output.

-l

Displays all details.

cluster_name

Specifies the name of the client cluster.

--file

Displays information about the contents of the cluster manifest file.

wrap

Specifies the full path of the XML file to export the credentials.

Examples

The following example lists the configured client clusters.

mkcc

Purpose

Creates the configuration for a client cluster.

Syntax and Description

mkcc cluster_name manifest_file [--direct]
     [--version client_cluster_version]
     [--guid client_cluster_guid]
     [--gimr gimr_pdb/export_dir]
     [--asm] [--gimr] [--rhp] [--acfs] [--tfa]

The following table lists the options for the mkcc command.

Table 10-41 Options for the mkcc command

Option Description

cluster_name

Specifies the name of the client cluster.

manifest_file

Specifies the full path of the XML file to export the credentials.

--direct

Specifies direct storage access. If not specified, the storage access is indirect.

--version client_cluster_version

Specifies the five digit client cluster version if it is different than the storage server version. The storage server version is used if not specified.

--guid client_cluster_guid

Specifies the 32-character, globally unique identifier for the client cluster. When this option is specified, mkcc does not generate a new GUID. If there is a cluster already configured with the specified GUID, then the command fails.

--gimr gimr_pdb/export_dir

Specifies the directory from which to import the GIMR PDB when converting a standalone cluster to a client cluster.

--asm

Generate credentials and configuration for an Oracle ASM cluster.

–-gimr

Generate credentials and configuration for an Oracle GIMR cluster.

–-rhp

Generate credentials and configuration for an Oracle RHP cluster.

–-acfs

Generate credentials and configuration for an Oracle ACFS cluster.

--tfa

Generate credentials and configuration for an Oracle TFA cluster.

The client cluster name must conform to the same rules as a cluster name. The name must be unique across your enterprise, must be at least one character long and no more than 15 characters in length, must be alphanumeric, cannot begin with a numeral, and may contain hyphens (-). Underscore characters (_) are not allowed.

If no client cluster component options are specified, the default is to configure all of the components and store their credentials in the same manifest file.

GNS credentials are not generated by the asmcmd mkcc command. To configure the client cluster as a GNS Client, run the following command as a privileged user to export the GNS instance client data configuration to the cluster manifest file: 

srvctl export gns -clientdata manifest_file -role CLIENT

Examples

The following example creates credentials for the client cluster —–asm and ––gimr components and exports the credentials to a cluster manifest file.

Example 10-50 Using the ASMCMD mkcc command

ASMCMD [+] > mkcc clientCluster1 /tmp/client_cluster1.xml --version 12.2.0.0.0 --asm --gimr

rmcc

Purpose

Removes the configuration for a client cluster.

Syntax and Description

rmcc cluster_name [-f]

The following table lists the options for the rmcc command.

Table 10-42 Options for the rmcc command

Option Description

cluster_name

Specifies the name of the client cluster.

-f

Specifies to force the removal of client cluster credentials.

Examples
