SQL> conn / as sysdba

SQL> startup

Task 11 (Migrate Database to RAC)
We must use RMAN to migrate the data files to ASM disk groups. All data files will be migrated to the newly created disk group, DATA. The redo logs and control files are created in DATA.

Step 1 Migrate Datafile & controle file to ASM.
SQL> connect sys/sys@prod1 as sysdba
Connected.

SQL> alter system set db_create_file_dest=’+DB_DATA’;
System altered.

SQL> alter system set control_files='+DB_DATA/cf1.dbf' scope=spfile;
System altered.

SQL> shutdown immediate;

$ rman target /

RMAN> switch database to copy;

datafile 1 switched to datafile copy "+DATA/prod1/datafile/system.257.1"
datafile 2 switched to datafile copy "+DATA/prod1/datafile/undotbs1.259.1"
datafile 3 switched to datafile copy "+DATA/prod1/datafile/sysaux.258.1"
datafile 4 switched to datafile copy "+DATA/prod1/datafile/users.260.1"

RMAN> alter database open;
database opened

RMAN> exit

SQL> connect sys/sys@prod1 as sysdba
Connected.
SQL> select tablespace_name, file_name from dba_data_files;


TABLESPACE FILE_NAME

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

USERS +DATA/prod1/datafile/users.260.1

SYSAUX +DATA/prod1/datafile/sysaux.258.1

UNDOTBS1 +DATA/prod1/datafile/undotbs1.259.1

SYSTEM +DATA/prod1/datafile/system.257.1



Step 2 Migrate temp tablespace to ASM.



SQL> alter tablespace temp add tempfile size 100M;



Tablespace altered.



SQL> select file_name from dba_temp_files;



FILE_NAME

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

+DATA/prod1/tempfile/temp.264.3



Step 3 Migrate redo logs to ASM.



Drop existing redo logs and recreate them in ASM disk groups, DATA.



SQL> alter system set db_create_online_log_dest_1='+DB_DATA';



System altered.



SQL> alter system set db_create_online_log_dest_2='+DB_DATA';



System altered.



SQL> select group#, member from v$logfile;



GROUP# MEMBER

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

1 /oracle/oradata/prod1/redo01.log

2 /oracle/oradata/prod1/redo02.log



SQL> alter database add logfile group 3 size 10M;



Database altered.



SQL> alter system switch logfile;



System altered.



SQL> alter database drop logfile group 1;



Database altered.



SQL> alter database add logfile group 1 size 100M;



Database altered.



SQL> alter database drop logfile group 2;



Database altered.



SQL> alter database add logfile group 2 size 100M;



Database altered.



SQL> alter system switch logfile;



System altered.



SQL> alter database drop logfile group 3;



Database altered.



SQL> select group#, member from v$logfile;



GROUP# MEMBER

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

1 +DATA/prod1/onlinelog/group_1.265.3

1 +DATA/prod1/onlinelog/group_1.257.1

2 +DATA/prod1/onlinelog/group_2.266.3

2 +DATA/prod1/onlinelog/group_2.258.1





Step 4 Add additional control file.

If an additional control file is required for redundancy, you can create it in ASM as you would on any other filesystem.



SQL> connect sys/sys@prod1 as sysdba

Connected to an idle instance.



SQL> startup mount

ORACLE instance started.

Database Buffers 289406976 bytes

Redo Buffers 262144 bytes

Database mounted.



SQL> alter database backup controlfile to '+RECOVERY/cf2.dbf';



Database altered.



SQL> alter system set control_files='+DATA/cf1.dbf ','+RECOVERY/cf2.dbf' scope=spfile;



System altered.



SQL> shutdown immediate;

ORA-01109: database not open



Database dismounted.

ORACLE instance shut down.



SQL> startup

ORACLE instance started.



Total System Global Area 419430400 bytes

Fixed Size 779416 bytes

Variable Size 128981864 bytes

Database mounted.

Database opened.

SQL> select name from v$controlfile;

After successfully migrating all the data files over to ASM, the old data files are no longer needed and can be removed. Your single-instance database is now running on ASM!
