Ora-29701 When Starting ASM Instance

On Linux RedHat 4.0
On the first shutdown of non-RAC ASM, and then startup of the ASM we got the following error:

ORA-29701: unable to connect to Cluster Manager

It seems that CSS daemon does not want to start any more (occsd.bin is not launched).
I run manual restart of daemon and reconfiguration (with localconfig) of CSS registry (as root):

$ORACLE_HOME/bin/localconfig reset (CSS is running in the Oracle home of the ASM instance)

It solved the problem.
When I looked for the solution I found some other scenarios for the same error:

Metalink Note: 264235.1 - ORA-29701 On Reboot When Instance Uses Automatic Storage Management (ASM)
Metalink Note: ORA-29701 Not able to start the CSS for ASM

Silent Installation

Some times there are problems using installation with GUI, the reason can be: 1. Firewall 2. Unix security 3.

But if you are on your own and can't reach "the right guys" - do it yourself " Silently " Look for the proper response file fits for your needs in /database/response/ Edit it and run the following command: $ ./runInstaller -force -invPtrLoc /oraInst.loc -silent -noconfig -ignoreSysPrereqs -responseFile /database/response/enterprise.rsp You can also run the installer without a response file as mentioned in Metalink Note 782918.1 $ ./runInstaller -silent -force -debug \ FROM_LOCATION="/mount/dvd/database/stage/products.xml" \ ORACLE_HOME="/u01/app/oracle/product/11.1.0/db_1" \ ORACLE_HOME_NAME="Ora11gDb1" ORACLE_BASE="/u01/app/oracle" \ TOPLEVEL_COMPONENT='{&q

Data Guard - Changing IP Addresses

Image
When changing IP of a host we should update/recheck the following places: /etc/hosts or DNS listener.ora tnsnames.ora Database parameters (local_listener, remote_listener) Data Guard configuration This document is also relevant when changing the IP address of the connection between the hosts, other than the original IP addresses we used during the installation. When installation is done using the hostname and not the IP address, most of the changes are not relevant except for /etc/hosts. In this document, I will describe how to change the Data Guard Broker configuration. Dataguard configuration Show the environment DGMGRL> show configuration Configuration - dr   Protection Mode: MaxAvailability   Members:   pdb7 - Primary database     fdb7 - Far sync instance       sdb7 - Physical standby database Fast-Start Failover: DISABLED Configuration Status: SUCCESS   (status updated 351 seconds ago) Show detailed information of the Primary
