AppSync: Oracle-Datenbanken, die auf ASM-Festplatte ausgeführt werden, werden als offline erkannt

Einem Nutzer wird der Datenbankstatus unter AppSync GUI –> Copy management –> Copies –> Oracle Application als "OK" angezeigt.
Der Serviceplan, der diese Datenbank schützt, schlägt jedoch in der Erkennungsphase fehl. Einem Nutzer werden die folgenden Fehler in Ereignisprotokollen angezeigt.

<DATE & TIME>,Application discovery,21cc64f3-795a-42d0-aab5-818615d0e645,MILE_000005,<AppSync Server>,Application discovery phase for <Database Name> completed with errors

In Serverprotokollen sendet AppSync den Befehl "checkdatabase", der dann fehlschlägt:

Die Datenbank, die auf der ASM-Festplatte und appsync ausgeführt wird, kann ASM Home nicht finden, da sie die oratab-Datei nach Oracle Home und ASM Home abfragt. Die oratab-Datei enthielt hingegen keinen Eintrag für ASM. Es hat nur einen Eintrag für die Datenbank.

Fügen Sie den Eintrag sowohl für die DB- als auch für die ASM-Instanz in die oratab-Datei ein.

Format: <ASM SID>:<grid_home>:Y|N

Beispieleintrag aus unserem Labor-Setup:

DB1:/u01/app/oracle/product/19c/db_home:N # entry for DB
+ASM:/u01/app/grid/product/19c/grid_home:N # entry for ASM instance
