Hi,

I encountered an issue that I can't find a solution. I searched it in many ways, documentation, foruns, blogs and so on...

I am a fresh "DBA" pulled from the PHP development area here where I work and I don't have too much experience on Oracle, so I will explain the way I think can be understandable. (By the way, sorry about my english...)

I have in hands an Oracle 10g with RAC and ASM. In my inexperience, I thought the RMAN duplicate could duplicate schemas (I made a mistake in some concepts like database, instance and schema as my main experience was with postgresql). I followed a tutorial, did the connect target auxiliary commands using the schemas names and no error were appointed, but the process couldn't complete because of lack of space left on the diskgroups.

They wanted so much that clone that I forgot for a moment the error and after more search, I learned how to clone it using export. I did the job and now my problem is that my largest diskgroup is full and all tablespace files attached to that DG will not expand (i think).

In my search, everyone says that I can add more space and the rman will continue the process where it stoped, but i don't want to continue, I just want to delete the temporary files that are waiting rman to continue.

I tried asmcmd but in some posts I read that in 10g it didnt work. I tried to use RMAN delete, but only delete some files with backup relations and in the normal file system, the diskgroups didn't change they available space, so I think it's not the way too.

I don't have any more space to add on that storage to finish the process and delete the duplicated database(?) after...

Do you use FRA (Flash Recovery Area)?
You'd be able to remove the file using asmcmd "rm" command.
What is your OS?

I would begin by determining what is on your disc groups. Connect to an ASM instance, and run queries such as
select name, GROUP_NUMBER, FILE_NUMBER,BYTES, TYPE from v$asm_file join v$asm_alias using(GROUP_NUMBER, FILE_NUMBER);

I'm using Red hat 2.6.9-55.ELsmp #1 SMP Fri Apr 20 16:36:54 EDT 2007 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

About the FRA, i don't know if I'm using in all old instances/databases/schemmas/services???? I know about some databases I created using dbca where I checked that option.

I tried asmcmd tool but I couldn't put it to work (share realm/oracle home/password issues), I was affraid to use it because the lack of knowing wich file to delete. I stoped to try when some people started to say that asmcmd not work in 10g.

export ORACLE_SID=+ASM1
sqlplus / as sysdba
select name, GROUP_NUMBER, FILE_NUMBER,BYTES, TYPE from v$asm_file join v$asm_alias using(GROUP_NUMBER, FILE_NUMBER);


SELECT's result is here

Come on, man! Do you expect me to look through 400 files and try to identify which ones can be deleted? That is your job. Furthermore, you MUST enclose your copy/pastes using [code] tags, or no-one can read them:
please read How to use [code] tags and make your code easier to read
Lastly, you need to learn how to use SQL*Plus commands to format your output. For example,
set linesize 120
set pagesize 1000

Sorry about that, after look batter your query, I modify it to not show datafiles. As I teel you, I'm new on it and I don't know with sure what to search (TEMPFILE?) and what to do with it after. I will edit the reply to not flood the topic.

If you interrupted a DUPLICATE, you will probably have datafiles that you can remove.
You have some archive logfiles that you can backup and delete.
You have several multi-gigabyte tempfiles that you may be able replace with much smaller ones.

That is about it for releasing space, as far as I can see.

And a couple of other hints: you could make this a lot more readable if you converted bytes to gigabtyes; use ORDER BY; perhaps one or queries with GROUP BY; add a join to v$asm_diskgroup; query vasm_diskgroup to show space used, free, required mirror free, and the redundancy type. Generally, get the environment documented.

Yeah, I'm working on it, I ordered and got the size on GB but in the DATAFILE type I can't identify wich file to delete because the duplicate file, I think, have the same name as the origin... I'm trying to analise and I will continue to verify the forum meanwhile

Thanks for all replies, I could detect a directory with the entire database inside on the diskgroup full, so I tried to drop using alter diskgroup but it didn't work, so i used the asmcmd tool and it worked.
