Migrating Databases From NON-ASM to ASM

1. First need to set below parameter for controlfile,datafile or FRA.

NOTE: I have two disk group here i am using "DGRP2" disk group.

SQL> alter system set control_files='+DGRP2' scope=spfile;
System altered.
SQL> alter system set db_create_file_dest='+DGRP2' scope=spfile;
System altered.
SQL> alter system set db_recovery_file_dest='+DGRP2' scope=spfile;
System altered.

2. Create New controlfile , datafile or spfile in ASM diskgroup.

SQL> shutdown immediate;

Database closed.

Database dismounted.

ORACLE instance shut down.

SQL> startup nomount

ORACLE instance started.
Total System Global Area 263639040 bytes

Connect with RMAN session.

Restore Controlfile.

Take backup of database which we use for ASM diskgroup.

RMAN> backup as copy database format '+DGRP2';

RMAN> switch database to copy;

datafile 1 switched to datafile copy "+DGRP2/test/datafile/system.257.652270565"

Again connect to sqlplus session and perform incomplete recovery

5. Recreate All redolog group on ASM diskgroup

SQL> select a.group#, a.member, b.bytes

2 from v$logfile a, v$log b where a.group# = b.group#;

When you get above error message then set checkpoint with below command.

SQL> alter database drop logfile group 1;
Database altered.
SQL> alter database add logfile group 1 size 10m;
Database altered.

SQL> alter system checkpoint global;

6 rows selected.

6. Recreate SPFILE on ASM diskgroup

SQL> create pfile='c:\initTEST.ora' from spfile;
File created.
SQL> create spfile='+DGRP2/spfileTEST.ora' from pfile='c:\initTEST.ora';
File created.

7. Detele all backup copy from RMAN

RMAN> delete noprompt force copy;
