While we are using kfed checking the status , we found /dev/raw/raw9 was invalid.
[oracle@DCSDB2 ~]$ kfed read /dev/raw/raw9 blkn=2 | grep KFBTYP
kfbh.type:                            0 ; 0x002: KFBTYP_INVALID

[oracle@DCSDB2 ~]$ kfed read /dev/raw/raw9 blkn=10 | grep KFBTYP
kfbh.type:                            0 ; 0x002: KFBTYP_INVALID
[oracle@DCSDB2 ~]$ kfed read /dev/raw/raw9 blkn=100 | grep KFBTYP
kfbh.type: 
 

Right now we want to remove or drop /dev/raw/raw9 and bring the database up , But we can’t drop it in normal because /dev/raw/raw9 can’t mount.

My question is  how can we drop or remove /dev/raw/raw9 (CT clear that they is no data or important data in this device) and bring the database /ASM up.

‘m assuming the following are true:

–  that the DATA diskgroup redundancy is either NORMAL or HIGH.
–  the redundancy is NOT external
–  You have a recent backup of the database.

If this is the case, then do the following:

1.  Mount FORCE

alter diskgroup DATA mount force;

Let it mount.

2.  Inspect that everything is there.

3.  Drop force the disk

alter diskgorup drop disk ‘/dev/raw/raw9’ force;

3.  Issue a rebalance if one does not kick off automatcally.

alter diskgroup DATA rebalance;

and let it finish.

From the SQL language documentation for ALTER DISKGROUP:

  • In the FORCE mode, Oracle ASM attempts to mount the disk group even if it cannot discover all of the devices that belong to the disk group. This setting is useful if some of the disks in a normal or high redundancy disk group became unavailable while the disk group was dismounted. WhenMOUNT FORCE succeeds, Oracle ASM takes the missing disks offline.

    If Oracle ASM discovers all of the disks in the disk group, then MOUNT FORCE fails. Therefore, use the MOUNT FORCE setting only if some disks are unavailable. Otherwise, useNOFORCE.

    In normal- and high-redundancy disk groups, disks from one failure group can be unavailable and MOUNT FORCE will succeed. Also in high-redundancy disk groups, two disks in two different failure groups can be unavailable and MOUNT FORCE will succeed. Any other combination of unavailable disks causes the operation to fail, because Oracle ASM cannot guarantee that a valid copy of all user data or metadata exists on the available disks.

 

Are you sure its external?  I don’t mean to ask that like you wouldn’t know but here is a sure way to know.

There is a tool called amdu and its in your grid home.  This is 11gR2, correct?  If so, you can do the following:

$ORACLE_HOME/bin/amdu

It will create a amdu directory with the current date and in that directory it creates a file called report.txt.  It will report out all of the disks belonging to the DATA disk groups.  One of the fields for each disk
is redundancy.  If its set to 0 or 1, I believe your external. If its set to 2 or 3, your NORMAL or HIGH.

I don’t know how an external redundant AMS diskgroup can be recovered.

From the ASM doc:

  • External redundancy

    Oracle ASM does not provide mirroring redundancy and relies on the storage system to provide RAID functionality. Any write error causes a forced dismount of the disk group. All disks must be located to successfully mount the disk group.

I will let someone else comment but, you may have to restore and recover the database.

if only the ASM diskheader was corrupted, and not the whole disk, it might be worth a try to only recover the disk header. This does make sense in an external DG, since you can’t access the Data anyways. Search in MOS how to do this.
