By Sangamesh B Satihal, Oracle DBA
We can configure an ASM using DBCA or manually. Once the ASM is configured on the server and diskgroup is created, any database that resides on that server can start using ASM for its data storage. We can achieve this by migrating all datafiles, controlfiles, redolog files, archive logs and, if required, parameter files to ASM.
Use the following steps to migrate an existing Oracle database from a local file system to ASM. These steps are applicable for both 10g and 11g releases.
1. In this example, we will use MYASMDB database to migrate from file system to ASM. Get the details of all files of the database MYASMDB as below. All of the files listed in this query will be relocated from the local file system to ASM:
#> . oraenv
ORACLE_SID = [oracle] ? MYASMDB
The Oracle base for ORACLE_HOME=/orasw/app/oracle/product/11_2_0_2 is /orasw/app/oracle
#= Testing Env =oracle@sangam /var/opt/oracle

14. At this point, the target database(MYASMDB) is open with all of its datafiles, controlfiles, online redo logfiles, tempfiles, and SPFILE stored in ASM. If we want to remove the database files that were stored on the local file system , this can be done from an RMAN session by executing below command. You could also then remove the old version of the controfile(s) that were stored on the local file system. All local file system files can be removed manually also.
