Re: 10g - ASM

[My response got "whacked" because of overquoting. I have trimmed out everything and I am resending. - B]

Lisa:

I have been out of pocket and I am playing catch-up on this thread. If I am misunderstanding what you're trying to do, then please correct me. However, it sounds like you're trying to startup the ASM instance with the LOCAL_LISTENER parameter set.

The ASM instance uses (based on my experience and the docs I have read) a very limited subset of the standard INIT.ORA parameters. Very limited. In fact, the following is basically all that is in mine:

• begin ----------- +ASM.asm_diskgroups='ASMGRP1'#Manual Mount *.asm_diskstring='/dev/raw/*' *.background_dump_dest='/ora00/app/oracle/admin/+ASM/bdump' *.core_dump_dest='/ora00/app/oracle/admin/+ASM/cdump' *.db_unique_name='+ASM' *.instance_type='ASM' *.user_dump_dest='/ora00/app/oracle/admin/+ASM/udump'
• end ------------

If it doesn't relate to the location of the dump files or isn't an ASM specific parameter then it probably won't work. From the 10g Admin Guide: "Of those initialization parameters intended for a database instance, only a few are relevant to an ASM instance."
