OVM server after upgraded, virtual machine ASM diskgroup couldn't mount


OVM server after upgraded, virtual machine ASM diskgroup couldn't mpuntd


Knowledge Review completed



Hello Bin-Bin,

It seem to me that the reason why ALPHAPROD_DATA can not be mounted is due to the following error.

--
alert_+ASM.log Sun Jun 29 15:45:30 2014 ORA-15085: ASM disk "" has inconsistent sector size.
alert_+ASM.log Sun Jun 29 16:12:00 2014 ORA-15085: ASM disk "" has inconsistent sector size.
alert_+ASM.log Sun Jun 29 16:19:28 2014 ORA-15085: ASM disk "" has inconsistent sector size.
--

This indicates that the sector size for the underlying device mapped to /dev/oracleasm/disks/MFGBLOB_DATA has changed to 4096 which may have been 512 byte before.

Action Plan
------------------
1. Can you try to mount ALPHAPROD_DATA in the following way ?
$ sqlplus / as sysasm
SQL> alter system set asm_diskstring='/dev/oracleasm/disks/*' ;
SQL> alter diskgroup ALPHAPROD_DATA mount ;

<<< If ALPHAPROD_DATA can be mounted in this way, you can startup the databases running on this server.

2. But you will need to find out why the secor size has been changed for the underlying device mapped to /dev/oracleasm/disks/MFGBLOB_DATA.
Show us the following information

$ cat /proc/partitions
$ ls -l /sys/block/*

Hi Bin-Bin,

Sure.
Do you want me to lower this SR to a SEV2?
Then you can update on Monday, is that ok?

Thanks

i am going to lower severity level. we are shutdown until next Monday(7/7/2014).
I'd like to keep this SR until next Monday. They are production system.
Can I do that?

Hi Bin-Bin,

Are you able to mount the diskgroups?
Any errors in the ASM alert.log?
If not, then it would seem ok.

i upgraded the second without problem. i set ORACLEASM_USE_LOGICAL_BLOCK_SIZE to true.

the first server which i had problem yesterday, i changed ORACLEASM_USE_LOGICAL_BLOCK_SIZE to true.
but i cannot change asm_diskstring to MFGBLOB_DATA. sm_diskstring is still '/dev/oracleasm/disks/* '.
do you think is it ok? i don't have any problem after rebooted.

Bin-Bin

Oracle Support- 4+ months ago[Information]
Hello Bin-Bin,

Changing ORACLEASM_USE_LOGICAL_BLOCK_SIZE to true before reboot won't do any harm in your env, so you can change it before system reboot ( or upgrade ).

There is no way of assinging the sr to a particular analyst on creating a sr as assigning procedure is all automatic.

I will keep this sr in my queue as Sev1 for the time being. If you have a similar issue for another server and update this sr , the sr will get transferred to the next available analyst if I am not working.

This way, you can get a help from other analysts .

Thanks for your kind words, anyway.

if i have issue in the future, can i assign my SR to you? if it is not severity 1, can i do that?
if i can, how to do it?

Hello Bin-Bin,

I am actually based in Sydney - Australia. Please find my working hours below and start working 2PM in PST timezone.
Working Hours: Monday – Friday 07:00-15:30 AEST / 21:00-05:30 GMT / 14:00-22:30 PST

Please check ASM alert.log for the following error if you see the same issue.
- alert_+ASM.log Sun Jun 29 15:45:30 2014 ORA-15085: ASM disk "" has inconsistent sector size.

If this is the case for another server, you can do one of the solution provided.
1] Change asm_diskstring to /dev/oracleasm/disks/*

OR
2] Reboot the server after changing the following parameter in /etc/sysconfig/oracleasm file.
ORACLEASM_USE_LOGICAL_BLOCK_SIZE=true

i am in EST time. what's yours?

BLIU@KEIHIN-NA.COM- 4+ months ago[Update from Customer]
that is great, so this server is ready.
i am going to upgrade another server tomorrow. i am going to do the same work like this one tomorrow.
if you can keep it open until i done the upgrade tomorrow.
it will be the best. my time is 10:23PM, how about yours?
you are very helpful, if it is possible, i want you be my contact.

Thanks!

Oracle Support- 4+ months ago[Information]
Hello Bin-Bin,

Our previous posting seemed to be crossing.

Yes, "/dev/oracleasm/disks/*" value is ok for your env as ASMlib is not mandatory for using ASM.

If you really want to go back to "ORCL:MFGBLOB_DATA" for asm_diskstring, please implement the solution described in note 1500460.1 , i.e ORACLEASM_USE_LOGICAL_BLOCK_SIZE=true and restart everything ( reboot is better ).

Please advise if you need further clarification on this issue.

Regards,
Eun Heo 

Oracle Support- 4+ months ago[Information]
Hello Bin-Bin,

Thanks for all the information.

I don't see any issue for your current env.

With the current configuration - i.e asm_diskstring=/dev/oracleasm/disks/*, you don't need to change ORACLEASM_USE_LOGICAL_BLOCK_SIZE to true.

I think your current issue is understood by Oracle and I have provided reasonable reason for that.

I wonder if you still need this SR to be worked around the clock 24x7 ? If not, I can hold this SR in my queue, to be worked as a Sev1 non-24x7 during my normal working hours

asm_diskstring was "ORCL:MFGBLOB_DATA".
it is "/dev/oracleasm/disks/*" right now.
is it ok?

Bin-Bin

BLIU@KEIHIN-NA.COM- 4+ months ago[Update from Customer]
so you think i should change ORACLEASM_USE_LOGICAL_BLOCK_SIZE from false to true?
if i don't change it, will cause any problem?

Hello Bin-Bin,

If you could startup the running databases on this server in conjunction with ASM, you will be fine.

At the moment, ASMlib has been bypassed with asm_diskstring=/dev/oracleasm/disks/*' if this values is still set in ASM side.

Actually, the following parameter in /etc/sysconfig/oracleasm should be set to "true" to use logical sector size ( 512 ) instead of physical ( 4096 )
--
ORACLEASM_USE_LOGICAL_BLOCK_SIZE=true
--

Can you show me the following output ?

1. asmcmd lsdg
2. Connect to ASM
SQL> show parameter asm

3. $ cd /sys/devices/vbd-51744/block/xvdc/queue
$ cat *

You know what, after i mounted ALPHAPROD_DATA, i rebooted server, and there is no problem at all.
and, my oracleasm-support is the one on document. the ORACLEASM_USE_LOGICAL_BLOCK_SIZE=false is default.
do you think i am fine now?

Hello Bin-Bin,

The main reason for the current issue is because the sector size for the underlying device mapped to MFGBLOB_DATA has been changed from 512 to 4096 on OS level as part of VM upgrade.

From kfed_DH.out, ALPHAPROD_DATA was created with sector size - 512 byte but I saw secor size - 4096 from the previous asm_info_html after VM upgrade.

You have 2 choices here.

1. Use asm_diskstring=/dev/oracleasm/disks/* in which case ASM will pick up logical sector size ( 512 ) instead of physical size ( 4096 ).

2. Or please download the latest ASMlib and configure ASMlib to use logical sector size described in the following note .
- Alert: After SAN Firmware Upgrade, ASM Diskgroups ( Using ASMLIB) Cannot Be Mounted Due To ORA-15085: ASM disk "" has inconsistent sector size. ( Doc ID 1500460.1 )


I think your current issue is understood and I have provided reasonable reason and solution for that.

I wonder if you still need this SR to be worked around the clock 24x7 ? If not, I can hold this SR in my queue, to be worked as a Sev1 non-24x7 during my normal working hours

Hello Bin-Bin,

I don't see any trace of mfgblob_data diskgroup from the uploaded ASM alert.log which traced back to 25-Dec-2013 as below.
Maybe mfgblob_data diskgroup has never existed on the server, even though the disk name is MFGBLOB_DATA.

I wonder if you could startup all databases running on the server after mounting ALPHAPROD_DATA diskgroup.

Can you also upload the following information ?

1. /dev/oracleasm/disks/MFGBLOB_DATA is mapped to /dev/xvdc.

$ cd /sys/block/xvdc
$ ls -l
$ cat *

2. Another fresh asm_info.html after mounting ALPHAPROD_DATA

Provide the following sql output (asm_info.html) after connecting to ASM instance.

are you saying the diskgroup should be alphaprod_data, not mfgblob_data?

i can mount alphaprod_data. how about mfgblob_data
do the same thing?

thanks!

Oracle Support- 4+ months ago[ODM Proposed Solution(s)]
Hello Bin-Bin,

It seem to me that the reason why ALPHAPROD_DATA can not be mounted is due to the following error.

--
alert_+ASM.log Sun Jun 29 15:45:30 2014 ORA-15085: ASM disk "" has inconsistent sector size.
alert_+ASM.log Sun Jun 29 16:12:00 2014 ORA-15085: ASM disk "" has inconsistent sector size.
alert_+ASM.log Sun Jun 29 16:19:28 2014 ORA-15085: ASM disk "" has inconsistent sector size.
--

This indicates that the sector size for the underlying device mapped to /dev/oracleasm/disks/MFGBLOB_DATA has changed to 4096 which may have been 512 byte before.

Action Plan
------------------
1. Can you try to mount ALPHAPROD_DATA in the following way ?
$ sqlplus / as sysasm
SQL> alter system set asm_diskstring='/dev/oracleasm/disks/*' ;
SQL> alter diskgroup ALPHAPROD_DATA mount ;

<<< If ALPHAPROD_DATA can be mounted in this way, you can startup the databases running on this server.

2. But you will need to find out why the secor size has been changed for the underlying device mapped to /dev/oracleasm/disks/MFGBLOB_DATA.
Show us the following information

$ cat /proc/partitions
$ ls -l /sys/block/*

Eun Heo

i will send you another sosreport, and the output of your sql script.
please check the early message, it is about ALPHAPROD_DATA diskgroup.
someone changed the asm_diskgroups, i will changed it back.

Hello Bin-Bin,


This SR has been transferred to Oracle ASM team, My name is Eun Heo. I have been assigned this new Sev 1 SR and am reviewing the SR and any attachments.

By default, this SR was created as 24x7. Do you need this SR to be worked around the clock 24x7?

If not, I can hold this SR in my queue, to be worked as a Sev1 non-24x7 during my normal working hours.
