The number of cylinders for this disk is set to 30401.

There is nothing wrong with that, but this is larger than 1024,
and could in certain setups cause problems with:
1) software that runs at boot time (e.g., old versions of LILO)
2) booting and partitioning software from other OSs
(e.g., DOS FDISK, OS/2 FDISK)

Restart the rawdevices service using the following command.

service rawdevices restart
[root@devp ~]# chown -R oracle.oinstall /dev/raw/raw*
[root@devp ~]# chmod -R 777 /dev/raw/
[root@devp ~]# vi /etc/rc.local
chown -R oracle.oinstall /dev/raw/raw1
chown -R oracle.oinstall /dev/raw/raw2
chown -R oracle.oinstall /dev/raw/raw3
chown -R oracle.oinstall /dev/raw/raw4

chown -R oracle.oinstall /dev/raw/raw5

chmod -R 777 /dev/raw/raw1
chmod -R 777 /dev/raw/raw2
[root@devp ~]# cd /dev/raw/
[root@devp raw]# ls
raw1 raw2 raw3 raw4 raw5
[root@devp raw]# cd
Now login as oracle and open dbca
configure asm
Startup ASM instance
export ORACLE_SID=+ASM
sqlplus
/ as sysdba
shutdown
startup
startup database also
create tablespace test datafile '+G1';
desc dba_data_files
select file_name from dba_data_files
For asmcmd utility
export ORACLE_SID=+ASM
asmcmd
ls
cd G
ls
cd orcl
ls
For configuration of ASM with Enterprise Manager:
Start both orcl and ASM instance
Configure orcl with default listener and using net manager(netmgr) and start the
default listener.
Open terminal
export ORACLE_SID=orcl
emca -deconfig dbcontrol db
After completion of this step again
export ORACLE_SID=orcl
emca -config dbcontrol db
Enter all the details and it will take some time for the configuration
After completion open the Enterprise manager and see the ASM link just below Lis
tener on the left hand side.

MIGRATE DATABASE TO ASM
#########################################################################
Steps
1. Create pfile from spile
SQL> create pfile='/home/oracle/Desktop/initrajdb.ora' from spfile;
2. Shutdown the database
SQL>shutdown immediate;

3. Edit the pfile to use OMF

a) Remove the control_files parameter completely
b) set the value for db_create_file_dest to asm diskgroup
*.db_create_file_dest='+dg1'
c) Set the value for db_recovery_file_dest
*.db_recovery_file_dest='+dg1'
d) Set the value for db_recovery_file_dest_size
*.db_recovery_file_dest_size=2147483648
4. Start any other database in nomount stage
5. Create spfile from the edited pfile
create spfile='/u01/app/oracle/product/10.2.0/db_1/dbs/
spfilerajdb.ora' from pfile='/home/oracle/Desktop/initrajdb.ora';
6. Start rman
7. Connect to the target database
8. Startup the database in nomont stage
RMAN> startup nomount;
9. Restore the controlfile
RMAN> restore controlfile from '/u01/app/oracle/oradata/rajdb/
control01.ctl';
10. Mount the database.
RMAN> alter database mount;
11. Backup the database as copy
RMAN> backup as copy database format '+dg1';
12. Switch the database to the backup copy
RMAN> switch database to copy;
13. Open the database
RMAN> alter database open;
