Grid Infrastructure Upgrade from 12c to 19c
Error:
"Verifying Verify that the ASM instance was configured using an existing ASM parameter file. ...FAILED (PRVG-4574)"
Solution:
Copy ASM password file from local directory to ASM disk group.
1. Check the Path of ASM Password File
srvctl config asm -a
ASM home: <CRS home>
Password file: /oracle/product/12.2.0/grid/dbs/orapw+ASM
Backup of Password file:
ASM listener: LISTENER
ASM is enabled.
ASM is individually enabled on nodes:
ASM is individually disabled on nodes:
ASM instance count: ALL
Cluster ASM listener: ASMNET1LSNR_ASM
2. Move ASM Passowrd File to ASM Disk Group
When tried to move ASM password file from local directory to ASM disk group faced this error:
ASMCMD> pwcopy /oracle/product/12.2.0/grid/dbs/orapw+ASM +OCR_DG/orapwASM
ASMCMD> pwcopy /oracle/product/12.2.0/grid/dbs/orapw+ASM +OCR_DG/orapwASM
OPW-00010: Could not create the password file.
ORA-15056: additional error message
ORA-15221: ASM operation requires compatible.asm of 12.1.0.0.0 or higher
ORA-06512: at line 4
ASMCMD-9454: could not create new password file
error is visible now that our ASM compatible parameter is not set accordingly.
select group_number, name,compatibility from v$asm_diskgroup;
GROUP_NUMBER NAME COMPATIBILITY
------------ ------------------------------ ----------------
1 OCR_DG 11.2.0.2.0 Change compatibility:
alter diskgroup OCR_DG SET ATTRIBUTE 'compatible.asm' = '12.1';
ASMCMD> pwcopy /oracle/product/12.2.0/grid/dbs/orapw+ASM +OCR_DG/orapwASM
srvctl modify asm -pwfile +OCR_DG/orapwASM
srvctl config asm -a
ASM home: <CRS home>
Password file: +OCR_DG/orapwASM
Backup of Password file:
ASM listener: LISTENER
ASM is enabled.
ASM is individually enabled on nodes:
ASM is individually disabled on nodes:
ASM instance count: ALL
Cluster ASM listener: ASMNET1LSNR_ASM
Now rerun runcluvfy.sh and it will be passed.
