error udump

>>/u01/app/admin/+ASM/udump

I cannot say this enough:  just adding the + to file names does not mean you are running ASM.

ASM uses raw devices and not mounted file systems.  You cannot mix the two.


That said, sine you are specifying mounted filesystems and seem to be trying to create a SID of +ASM, did yu precreate the folder?

Still won't get you what you need but should remove this error.

I've requested that this question be deleted for the following reason:

expert did not under stand my point..

What is your point of the question?    Maybe another Expert will understand later.

fine..

You didn't answer my question:  what point didn't I get?

The error says there is a problem with the directory specified for the user_dump_dest parameter.  That almost always means the directory doesn't exist.

Based on all your other questions recently, you are trying to set up ASM.

To do this you need raw disks not folders in a mounted file system.

What point am I missing?

I can answer these questions

I have two disk like this

[root@rac5 ~]# fdisk -l

Disk /dev/sda: 42.9 GB, 42949672960 bytes

[root@rac5 ~]#


I created asm instance
 password file

only thing I am missing is the realtion ship between newly created disk and new instance..

I will demonstrate one more time


[root@rac5 ~]#  cat /etc/sysconfig/rawdevices
# raw device bindings
# format:  <rawdev> <major> <minor>
#          <rawdev> <blockdev>
# example: /dev/raw/raw1 /dev/sda1
#          /dev/raw/raw2 8 5
/dev/raw/raw1 /dev/sdb1
/dev/raw/raw1 /dev/sdb1
/dev/raw/raw1 /dev/sdb1
[root@rac5 ~]#


here is the init+ASM.ora

background_dump_dest='/u01/app/oracle/admin/+ASM/bdump'
core_dump_dest='/u01/app/oracle/admin/+ASM/cdump'
instance_type='asm'
large_pool_size=12M
remote_login_passwordfile='SHARED'
user_dump_dest='/u01/app/oracle/admin/+ASM/udump'


I took off all the unwanted parameters what I did before..
only essential

[oracle@rac5 dbs]$ export ORACLE_SID=+ASM
[oracle@rac5 dbs]$ sqlplus '/as sysdba'

Connected to an idle instance.

SQL> create spfile from pfile;

File created.

Now this is the error..

what did I not understand..

you can answer me where I am lagging..

>>ORA-29701: unable to connect to Cluster Manager

This is a different error than you posted previously.  Which problem do you wish to pursue?

You have had this error before in a previous question.

Error seems self-explanatory.  I think I provided a link about this in the previous question.  On mobile right now and cannot look through your other questions.

I suggest you Google around for that error number.  There were a few links on it if I remember correctly.

I have to apologize.  I think I gave you some bad advice on the first post.

I've not done much with ASM and thought everything had to be on raw devices.  It appears the bump folders can be on mounted disks but you need to let Oracle do it.

I forget what blog/link you are following but check out:
