Install ASM manually using response file

14.05.2015
by Kamil Stawiarski

I have configured two devices for ASM – one with ASMLib and one with UDEV:

[root@krol-julian ~]# cat /etc/udev/rules.d/99-asm-dev.rules 
KERNEL=="sdb1",OWNER="oracle",GROUP="dba",MODE="0660"
[root@krol-julian ~]# ls -al /dev/sdb1 
brw-rw----. 1 oracle dba 8, 17 05-14 11:28 /dev/sdb1
[root@krol-julian ~]# oracleasm scandisks
Reloading disk partitions: done
Cleaning any stale ASM disks...
Scanning system for ASM disks...
[root@krol-julian ~]# oracleasm listdisks
DATA
[root@krol-julian ~]# ls -al /dev/oracleasm/disks/DATA 
brw-rw----. 1 oracle dba 8, 18 05-14 11:26 /dev/oracleasm/disks/DATA

I have downloaded 11.2.0.4 grid infrastructure binaries and prepared response file:

[root@krol-julian ~]# su - oracle
[oracle@krol-julian ~]$ cd 11.2.0.4/grid/
[oracle@krol-julian grid]$ cd response/
[oracle@krol-julian response]$ egrep "ORACLE_HOSTNAME|INVENTORY_LOCATION|oracle.install.option|ORACLE_BASE|ORACLE_HOME|oracle.install.asm.OSDBA|oracle.install.asm.OSASM" grid_install.rsp 
ORACLE_HOSTNAME=krol-julian
INVENTORY_LOCATION=/u01/app/oraInventory
oracle.install.option=CRS_SWONLY
ORACLE_BASE=/u01/app/oracle
ORACLE_HOME=/u01/app/oracle/product/11.2.0.4/grid
oracle.install.asm.OSDBA=dba
oracle.install.asm.OSASM=oinstall

Of course in production environment you have set different groups for security reasons. If you think that you can ignore security, read my articles regarding privilege escalations: https://blog.ora-600.pl/category/oracle/security/

With those setting I will get a set of warining but the installation will proceed.

[oracle@krol-julian grid]$ ./runInstaller -silent -showProgress -ignorePrereq -responseFile /home/oracle/11.2.0.4/grid/response/grid_install.rsp

   CAUSE: The group name you selected as the OSDBA for ASM group is commonly used for Oracle Database administrator privileges.
   ACTION: Oracle recommends that you designate asmdba as the OSDBA for ASM group, and that the group should not be the same group as an Oracle Database OSDBA group.
[WARNING] [INS-41874] Oracle ASM Administrator (OSASM) Group specified is same as the inventory group.
   CAUSE: Operating system group oinstall specified for OSASM Group is same as the inventory group.

[WARNING] [INS-32022] Grid infrastructure software for a cluster installations must not be under an Oracle base directory.
   CAUSE: Grid infrastructure for a cluster installations assign root ownership to all parent directories of the Grid home location. As a result, ownership of all named directories in the software location path are changed to root, creating permissions errors for all subsequent installations into the same Oracle base.
   ACTION: Specify software location outside of an Oracle base directory for grid infrastructure for a cluster installations.

Now run the root.sh script as requested

Entries will be added to the /etc/oratab file as needed by

Finished running generic part of root script.
Now product-specific root actions will be performed.

To configure Grid Infrastructure for a Stand-Alone Server run the following command as the root user:
/u01/app/oracle/product/11.2.0.4/grid/perl/bin/perl -I/u01/app/oracle/product/11.2.0.4/grid/perl/lib -I/u01/app/oracle/product/11.2.0.4/grid/crs/install /u01/app/oracle/product/11.2.0.4/grid/crs/install/roothas.pl


To configure Grid Infrastructure for a Cluster execute the following command:
/u01/app/oracle/product/11.2.0.4/grid/crs/config/config.sh
This command launches the Grid Infrastructure Configuration Wizard. The wizard also supports silent operation, and the parameters can be passed through the response file that is available in the installation media.

Because we want to install ASM I will execute the first script

[root@krol-julian ~]# /u01/app/oracle/product/11.2.0.4/grid/perl/bin/perl -I/u01/app/oracle/product/11.2.0.4/grid/perl/lib -I/u01/app/oracle/product/11.2.0.4/grid/crs/install /u01/app/oracle/product/11.2.0.4/grid/crs/install/roothas.pl

Successfully configured Oracle Grid Infrastructure for a Standalone Server

Ok. Now we have to prepare appropriate environment. For example:

[root@krol-julian ~]# cat /home/oracle/grid.env 
export ORACLE_SID=+ASM
export ORACLE_BASE=/u01/app/oracle
export PATH=/u01/app/oracle/product/11.2.0.4/grid/bin:/usr/lib64/qt-3.3/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/root/bin
export ORACLE_HOME=/u01/app/oracle/product/11.2.0.4/grid

Now we can create listener and ASM

[oracle@krol-julian ~]$ srvctl add listener -p "TCP:1521" -d ORCL:*,/dev/sd*
[oracle@krol-julian ~]$ srvctl start listener
[oracle@krol-julian ~]$ srvctl add asm -l LISTENER
[oracle@krol-julian ~]$ srvctl start asm

And now we can create diskgroups

SQL> create diskgroup data1 
  2  external redundancy disk 'ORCL:DATA';

Diskgroup created.

SQL> create diskgroup data2
  2  external redundancy disk '/dev/sdb1';

Diskgroup created.

SQL> select name, usable_file_mb from v$asm_diskgroup;

NAME			       USABLE_FILE_MB
------------------------------ --------------
DATA1					 6084
DATA2					 6099
