CREATE A FOLDER NAME +ASM IN THAT CREATE THE FOLLOWING FOLDERS WITH THEIR

DIRECTORIES
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
------------------
this following is optional that is it automatically creates the details but i did
long procedure by creating it manually
mkdir %ORACLE_BASE%\admin\+ASM\bdump
mkdir %ORACLE_BASE%\admin\+ASM\cdump
mkdir %ORACLE_BASE%\admin\+ASM\hdump
mkdir %ORACLE_BASE%\admin\+ASM\pfile
mkdir %ORACLE_BASE%\admin\+ASM\udump
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
------------------
THAN GO TO D:\ DRIVE CREATE DIRECTORY FOR MAKING THE DISKS

D:\>mkdir asmdisks

D:\>cd asmdisks

D:\asmdisks>asmtool -create d:\asmdisks\disk1 512

D:\asmdisks>asmtool -create d:\asmdisks\disk2 512

D:\asmdisks>asmtool -create d:\asmdisks\disk3 512

AFTER THAT CREATE A PFILE NAME init+ASM.ora AND INCLUDE FOLLOWING DETAILS

INSTANCE_TYPE=ASM
DB_UNIQUE_NAME=+ASM
LARGE_POOL_SIZE=8M
ASM_DISKSTRING='d:\asmdisks\*'
_ASM_ALLOW_ONLY_RAW_DISKS=FALSE

THEN:-

Create service and password file

oradim will create an ASM instance and start it automatically.
D:\> orapwd file=D:\oracle\product\10.2.0\db_1\database\PWD1+ASM.ora password=asm
D:\> oradim -NEW -ASMSID +ASM -STARTMODE auto

CREAETING THE INSTANCE

D:\>SET ORACLE_SID=+ASM

D:\>set ORACLE_HOME=d:\oracle\product\10.2.0\db_1

I WAS GETTING AN ERROR IT SAYS ORA-29701: unable to connect to Cluster Manager

WITH THE HELP OF THE FOLLOWING PROCEDURE I RESOLVED THE ERROR

THE FOLLOWING WILL DELETE THE LOCAL CONFIGURATION:-

D:\>%ORACLE_HOME%\bin\localconfig delete
Step 1: stopping local CSS stack
Step 2: deleting OCR repository
failed to open the OCR subkey, err(0)
failed to cleanup local OCR repository
successfully deleted local CSS setup
THE FOLLOWING WILL ADD THE NEW LOCAL CONFIGURATION WHICH IS NEEDED FOR ASM:-
D:\>%ORACLE_HOME%\bin\localconfig add
Step 1: creating new OCR repository
Successfully accumulated necessary OCR keys.
Creating OCR keys for user 'administrator', privgrp ''..
Operation successful.
Step 2: creating new CSS service
successfully created local CSS service
successfully added CSS to home

D:\>set oracle_sid=+ASM

ASM Views

The ASM configuration can be viewed using the V$ASM_% views, which often contain
different information depending on whether they are queried from the ASM instance,
or a dependant database instance.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
------------------
VIEW ASM Instance DB Instance
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
------------------

1)V$ASM_ALIAS Displays a row for each alias Returns no rows

present in every disk group
mounted by the ASM instance.

------------------

2)V$ASM_CLIENT Displays a row for each database Displays a row for the
ASM instance if the database

3)V$ASM_DISK Displays a row for each disk Displays a row for each

ASM Filenames
There are several ways to reference ASM file. Some forms are used during creation
and some for referencing ASM files. The forms for file creation are incomplete,
relying on ASM to create the fully qualified name, which can be retrieved from the
supporting views. The forms of the ASM filenames are summarised below.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
------------------
Filename Type Format
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
------------------
Fully Qualified ASM Filename
+dgroup/dbname/file_type/file_type_tag.file.incarnation
Numeric ASM Filename +dgroup.file.incarnation
Alias ASM Filenames +dgroup/directory/filename
Alias ASM Filename with Template +dgroup(template)/alias
Incomplete ASM Filename +dgroup
Incomplete ASM Filename with Template +dgroup(template)
