We got a George Carlin-esque "Well...I'm not sure about that" response from an SA about that particular scenario. We will be adding disks from a different SAN (SAN2) and then dropping disks from the original SAN (SAN1). Do you see any problems with this? Taking the database down is not a problem. It is a non-production system that we have permission to down...but the team also want it back up as soon as possible. ------- Original Message ------- On 3/11/2010 7:44 PM Don Seiler wrote: Very wise indeed. Much better option than backing up as copy and switching. You'll probably want to raise up the ASM rebalancing power ("this one goes to 11") if there's nothing else on that particular system. Don.

I would add and remove in a single alter diskgroup statement. That way, you only need one rebalance operation.

No downtime.

They have added a new SAN and want to move the database to it. We are trying to determine the best way and fastest (tight deadline). Not a lot of time for testing. The database is not production and we have an export, but would rather not go through the process of totally recreating it. Does anyone have experience moving a db from one ASM diskgroup to another diskgroup in the same instance? Any experience with the following 10g command to accomplish this? (From Tim Hall's site) # Copy the database into the ASM disk group. RMAN> BACKUP AS COPY DATABASE FORMAT '+disk_group'; # Switch all datafile to the new ASM location. RMAN> SWITCH DATABASE TO COPY; Any/All input greatly appreciated!
