This appendix describes how to deploy Oracle Automatic Storage Management (Oracle ASM) using SQL*Plus under the following topics:
Creating Archive Log Files in Oracle ASM
See Also:
Oracle Database Administrator's Guide for information about using Oracle Managed Files (OMF)The recommended method of creating your database is to use the Database Configuration Assistant (DBCA). However, if you create your database manually using the CREATE DATABASE statement, then Oracle ASM enables you to create a database and all of its underlying files with a minimum of input.
The following section describes an example of using the CREATE DATABASE statement, where database files are created and managed automatically by Oracle ASM.
This example creates a database with the following Oracle ASM files:
A SYSTEM tablespace data file in disk group data.
A SYSAUX tablespace data file in disk group data. The tablespace is locally managed with automatic segment-space management.
A multiplexed online redo log with two online log groups, one member of each in data and fra (fast recovery area).
If automatic undo management mode is enabled, then an undo tablespace data file in directory data.
If you do not specify a value for the CONTROL_FILES initialization parameter, then two control files, one in data and another in fra (fast recovery area). The control file in data is the primary control file.
The following initialization parameter settings are included in the initialization parameter file:
DB_CREATE_FILE_DEST = +data DB_RECOVERY_FILE_DEST = +fra DB_RECOVERY_FILE_DEST_SIZE = 10G
The following statement is issued at the SQL prompt:
CREATE DATABASE orcl;
When Oracle ASM creates a data file for a permanent tablespace (or a temporary file for a temporary tablespace), the data file is set to auto-extensible with an unlimited maximum size and 100 MB default size. You can use the AUTOEXTEND clause to override this default extensibility and the SIZE clause to override the default size.
Oracle ASM applies attributes to the data file, as specified in the system default template for a data file as shown in the table in "Managing Disk Group Templates". You can also create and specify your own template.
Files in a tablespace might be in both Oracle ASM files and non-Oracle ASM files due to the tablespace history. RMAN commands enable non-Oracle ASM files to be relocated to an Oracle ASM disk group and enable Oracle ASM files to be relocated as non-Oracle ASM files.
For example, if there is a disk group named data, you can create a tablespace tblspace in that disk group with the following SQL statement:
CREATE TABLESPACE tblspace DATAFILE +data;
The following example illustrates the usage of Oracle ASM with defaults. This example enables Oracle ASM to create and manage the tablespace data file for you, using Oracle supplied defaults that are adequate for most situations.
Assume the following initialization parameter setting:
DB_CREATE_FILE_DEST = +data
The following statement creates the tablespace and its data file:
CREATE TABLESPACE tblspace;
Online redo logs can be created in multiple disk groups, either implicitly in an initialization parameter file or explicitly in an ALTER DATABASE...ADD LOGFILE statement. Each online log should have one log member in multiple disk groups. The filenames for log file members are automatically generated. All partially created redo log files, created as a result of a system error, are automatically deleted.
For example, if there is are disk groups named data1 and data2, you can create a log file with a member in each disk group with the following SQL statement:
ALTER DATABASE ADD LOGFILE (+data1,+data2);
The following example creates a log file with a member in each of the disk groups data1 and data2. The following parameter settings are included in the initialization parameter file:
DB_CREATE_ONLINE_LOG_DEST_1 = +data1 DB_CREATE_ONLINE_LOG_DEST_2 = +data2
The following statement is issued at the SQL prompt:
ALTER DATABASE ADD LOGFILE;
Control files can be explicitly created in multiple disk groups. The filenames for control files are automatically generated.
If you must specify a control file by name, then you can use alias filenames to reference Oracle ASM files and use easy to understand names. Using aliases in the specification of a control file during its creation enables you to later refer to the control file with a user-specified name. An alias can also be specified as a control file name in the CONTROL_FILES initialization parameter.
When creating a control file, data files and log files that are stored in Oracle ASM disk groups should be given to the CREATE CONTROLFILE command using the file reference form of their Oracle ASM filenames. However, the use of the RESETLOGS option requires the use of a file creation form for the specification of the log files.
The following CREATE CONTROLFILE statement is generated by an ALTER DATABASE BACKUP CONTROLFILE TO TRACE command for a database with data files and log files created on disk groups data and fra:
CREATE CONTROLFILE REUSE DATABASE "ORCL" NORESETLOGS ARCHIVELOG

This example is a CREATE CONTROLFILE statement for a database with data files, but uses a RESETLOGS clause, and thus uses the creation form for log files:

Disk groups can be specified as archive log destinations in the LOG_ARCHIVE_DEST and LOG_ARCHIVE_DEST_n initialization parameters. When destinations are specified in this manner, the archive log filename are unique, even if archived twice.
If LOG_ARCHIVE_DEST is set to a disk group name, LOG_ARCHIVE_FORMAT is ignored. Unique filenames for archived logs are automatically created by the Oracle database. If LOG_ARCHIVE_DEST is set to a directory in a disk group, LOG_ARCHIVE_FORMAT has its normal semantics.
The following sample archive log names might be generated with DB_RECOVERY_FILE_DEST set to +data. ORCL is the value of the DB_UNIQUE_NAME parameter:
