HISTORY OF ASM
Before Oracle 10g, Storage Management was provided by 3rd parties
CUSTOMER CHALLENGES
Large databases required considerable storage management
THE SIMPLE
BestIDEA OF ASM required raw storage

Support for RAC clusters
Patterns 4
BENEFITS OF ASM (1 of 2)
I/O is spread evenly across all available disk drives to prevent hot spots and
maximize performance
Inherent large file supports
Performs automatic online redistribution after the
incremental addition or removal of storage capacity
Maintains redundant copies of data to provide
high availability or leverage 3rd party RAID functionality
Supports Oracle Database as well as Oracle Real Application Clusters (RAC)
Patterns 5
BENEFITS OF ASM (2 of 2)
For simplicity and easier migration to ASM, an Oracle Database can contain
ASM and non-ASM files. Any new files can be created as ASM files whilst
existing files can also be migrated to ASM
RMAN commands enable non-ASM managed files to be relocated to an ASM
disk group
Oracle Enterprise Manager can be used to manage ASM disk and file
management activities
ASM reduces Oracle Database cost and
complexity without compromising
performance or availability

SUMMARY
The database instance was using a dedicated ASM instance and that
ASM instance was forced to stop working simulating a failure, so the
database instance reconnected to an existent ASM instance on another
node, for this example node 2 (rac2).

Oracle FLEX CLUSTER
Comprises of a Hub and Leaf architecture Depicts a typical Oracle flex cluster with four Leaf nodes and two Hub
nodes. In a nutshell Oracle Flex Cluster requires Oracle Flex ASM.
where in only the Hub nodes will only have
direct access to Oracle Cluster Registry
(OCR) and Voting Disk (VD)
However application can access the
database via Leaf nodes without ASM
instance NOT running on Leaf nodes
The connection to the database is through
Hub making it transparent for the
application
Patterns 37
HUB NODES & LEAF NODES
Hub Nodes
They are connected among them via private network and have direct access to
the shared storage just like previous versions. These nodes are the ones that
access the Oracle Cluster Registry (OCR) and Voting Disk (VD) directly.
Leaf Nodes
These nodes are lighter and are not connected among them, neither access the
shared storage like the Hub Nodes. Each Leaf Node communicates with the Hub
Node that is attached to, and its connected to the cluster via the Hub Node that
is linked to.

nodes, such as Processing Nodes, Application /
Planned or Unplanned
Web Server Nodes etc.
downtime
Reduces per-node ASM
instance overhead
ASM only needs to run on 3
nodes in the cluster
Facilitates DB, Cluster & server
consolidation
Multiple DBs & applications in
a cluster
Patterns 39
PREVIOUS ASM CLUSTER
ASM architecture utilized an ASM

instance on every server
Database instances dependent on
node-specific ASM instance
ASM overhead scaled with size of
cluster
Patterns 40
NEW ASM CLUSTER
Eliminates requirement for an ASM instance on every cluster
server
Database instances connects to any ASM
instance in the cluster
Database instances can failover to a
secondary ASM instance
Administrators specify the cardinality of ASM
instances (default is 3)
Clusterware ensures ASM cardinality is maintained
Patterns 41
FLEX ASM NETWORK
Flex ASM adds the ASM network, which is used for
communication between ASM and its clients
Oracle 12c, you can now create a separate network
dedicated for ASM communication.
Need to mention the network address during the
installation
This dedicated ASM network is completely optional.
The default is the pre-12c behavior of using the
Clusterware interconnect for ASM communication
Patterns 42
DEPLOYING FLEX ASM
Managing Flex ASM
Flex ASM requires minimal monitoring and ongoing management
Primary objective is that instances are up and running
SRVCTL Command for:
Checking ASM instance status
Setting cardinality
Starting Stopping - and - Relocating ASM instances
No Flex ASM-specific instance parameters are required
Default settings will effectively support most situations
ASM server instances use automatic memory management
Flex ASM is managed by ASMCA, CRSCTL, SQL*Plus and SRVCTL
Patterns 43
NEW FLEX ASM
Flex Features
Increase maximum number of Disk Groups to 511 (Previous
limit was 63)
Command for renaming ASM Disk
ASM Relocate Command
Clients are automatically relocated to another instance if
an Oracle ASM instance fails
When necessary, Clients can be manually relocated
using the ALTER SYSTEM RELOCATE CLIENT command
Patterns 44
New Option in Grid Infrastructure
Oracle ASM Deployment Model can be

chosen during the installation of
Oracle Grid Infrastructure
Oracle ASM Configuration Assistant
(ASMCA) can be used to enable Oracle
Flex ASM after the installation /
upgrade is performed
The functionality is available only in an
Oracle Grid Infrastructure
