Mladen, Ignore the messages. They are just informal ones and will be removed from future(!)versions. Basically ASM close (or dismount) those groups when it closes the file descriptors on that DG and mounts when it opens first file on that DG. -Gopal On 2/18/07, Mladen Gogala <mgogala@xxxxxxxxxxx> wrote:
I have a RAC database with a standby. Both RAC and standby are on ASM. On standby, I used the flashback recovery area located on the DGFRA diskgroup to create standby redo logs. There aren't any problems but I am perplexed by entries like this: RFS[1]: Successfully opened standby log 30: '+DGFRA/adprd/onlinelog/group_30.265.614877861' SUCCESS: diskgroup DGFRA was dismounted SUCCESS: diskgroup DGFRA was mounted SUCCESS: diskgroup DGFRA was dismounted Sun Feb 18 17:51:50 2007 SUCCESS: diskgroup DGFRA was mounted SUCCESS: diskgroup DGFRA was dismounted SUCCESS: diskgroup DGFRA was mounted SUCCESS: diskgroup DGFRA was dismounted Sun Feb 18 17:51:52 2007 Media Recovery Log /BACKUP/archives/archADPRD_1_514_614435904.dbf Media Recovery Log /BACKUP/archives/archADPRD_1_515_614435904.dbf Media Recovery Log /BACKUP/archives/archADPRD_2_863_614435904.dbf Media Recovery Log /BACKUP/archives/archADPRD_1_516_614435904.dbf Media Recovery Log /BACKUP/archives/archADPRD_2_864_614435904.dbf Media Recovery Waiting for thread 1 sequence 517 Why in the world is it unmounting/mounting the diskgroup?
