How to recover from an Oracle DB if the disk/file system for archive logs gets full Note: if DB is hung at shutdown i.e. shu immediate, then force a shutdown, like below

SQL> shutdown abort;
SQL> startup nomount;
SQL> alter database mount
SQL> exit

SQL> shutdown abort;

SQL> startup nomount;

SQL> alter database mount

SQL> exit

Get size used for if needed

SQL> col name format A50
SQL> col space_limit format A10
SQL> col space_used format A10
select  name,  (space_limit/1024/1024) ||'MB' as Space_Limit,
(space_used/1024/1024)||'MB' as Space_Used from  v$recovery_file_dest;

SQL> col name format A50

SQL> col space_limit format A10

SQL> col space_used format A10

select name, (space_limit/1024/1024) ||'MB' as Space_Limit,

(space_used/1024/1024)||'MB' as Space_Used from v$recovery_file_dest;

Remove Archive logs with rm in ASMCMD

asmcmd -p>
cd DATA/OEM13/ARCHIVELOG/2015_12_31
ASMCMD [+DATA/OEM13/ARCHIVELOG/2015_12_31] > rm thread_1*
ASMCMD [+DATA/OEM13/ARCHIVELOG/2015_12_31] > exit

# Update rman with log info
rman target /
crosscheck archivelog all
delete expired archivelog all

To add new disk array / lun

sqlplus / as sysasm
ALTER DISKGROUP DATA ADD DISK '/dev/rdsk/c1d1s0' REBALANCE POWER 5;

# Fastest 
ALTER DISKGROUP DATA ADD DISK '/dev/rdsk/c1d1s0' REBALANCE POWER 11;

ALTER DISKGROUP DATA ADD DISK '/dev/rdsk/c1d1s0' REBALANCE POWER 5;

ALTER DISKGROUP DATA ADD DISK '/dev/rdsk/c1d1s0' REBALANCE POWER 11;

To verify

SQL> select path,name,header_status from v$asm_disk;

1	SQL> select path,name,header_status from v$asm_disk;

To Check where the rebalnce is up to

select INST_ID, OPERATION, STATE, POWER, SOFAR, EST_WORK, EST_RATE, EST_MINUTES from GV$ASM_OPERATION where GROUP_NUMBER=1;

1	select INST_ID, OPERATION, STATE, POWER, SOFAR, EST_WORK, EST_RATE, EST_MINUTES from GV$ASM_OPERATION where GROUP_NUMBER=1;

To remove the old one

# Use the name showing in select disk name
alter diskgroup data drop disk DATA_0000 rebalance power 5;

Changing an Oracle Database from TCP to RDS If your Oracle Database runs on an Infiniband network, you can greatly benefit by switching from TCP to RDS for DB cluster communications First enable RDS

svcadm enable svc:/system/rds:default

svcs svc:/system/rds:default
STATE          STIME    FMRI
online          4:40:52 svc:/system/rds:default

svcadm enable svc:/system/rds:default

svcs svc:/system/rds:default

STATE STIME FMRI

online 4:40:52 svc:/system/rds:default

For ASM On one node

crsctl stop cluster -all

1	crsctl stop cluster -all

On all nodes as root
