6 Using Views to Display Oracle ASM Information
Dynamic views display important information about Oracle ASM.
This chapter contains information about using dynamic views to display Oracle Automatic Storage Management (Oracle ASM) information.
See Also:
Oracle Database Reference for information about all of the V$ASM* dynamic performance views
Views Containing Oracle ASM Disk Group Information
You can use the views in Table 6-1 to obtain information about Oracle ASM disk groups.
Note:
The REDUNDANCY_LOWERED column in the V$ASM_FILE view no longer provides information about files with reduced redundancy. This column is deprecated, and it always displays a value of U.
Table 6-1 Oracle ASM dynamic views for disk group information
| View | Description |
|---|---|
|
Contains one row for every alias present in every disk group mounted by the Oracle ASM instance. |
|
|
Displays one row for each attribute defined. In addition to attributes specified by |
|
|
Displays information about the history of audit trail cleanup or purge events. |
|
|
Displays information about the configured audit trail purge jobs. |
|
|
Displays information about the currently configured audit trail properties. |
|
|
Displays information about the last archive timestamps set for audit trail cleanup or purges. |
|
|
In an Oracle ASM instance, identifies databases using disk groups managed by the Oracle ASM instance. In an Oracle Database instance, contains information about the Oracle ASM instance if the database has any open Oracle ASM files. |
|
|
Contains one row for every disk discovered by the Oracle ASM instance, including disks that are not part of any disk group. This view performs disk discovery every time it is queried. Because performing a discovery is very resource intensive, this view is not recommended for monitoring scripts. |
|
|
Displays information about disk I/O statistics for each Oracle ASM client. In an Oracle Database instance, only the rows for that instance are shown. |
|
|
Contains the same columns as The To display information about all disks, use |
|
|
Describes a disk group (number, name, size related info, state, and redundancy type). This view performs disk discovery every time it is queried. Because performing a discovery is very resource intensive, this view is not recommended for monitoring scripts. |
|
|
Contains the same columns as The To display more complete information about all disks, use |
|
|
Displays an estimate of the work involved in execution plans for Oracle ASM disk group rebalance and resync operations. |
|
|
Contains one row for every Oracle ASM file in every disk group mounted by the Oracle ASM instance. |
|
|
Contains one row for every file group in every disk group mounted by the Oracle ASM instance. |
|
|
Contains one row for each file associated with a file group in every disk group mounted by the Oracle ASM instance. |
|
|
Contains one row for every property associated with the file group or each file type of every file group in every disk group mounted by the Oracle ASM instance. |
|
|
In an Oracle ASM instance, contains one row for every active Oracle ASM long running operation executing in the Oracle ASM instance. In an Oracle Database instance, contains no rows. |
|
|
Contains one row for every Oracle Automatic Storage Management (Oracle ASM) quota group discovered by the Oracle ASM instance on the node. |
|
|
Contains one row for every template present in every disk group mounted by the Oracle ASM instance. |
|
|
Contains the effective operating system user names of connected database instances and names of file owners. |
|
|
Contains the creator for each Oracle ASM File Access Control group. |
|
|
Contains the members for each Oracle ASM File Access Control group. |
When querying V$ASM views, the value of the disk group number is not a static value. When a disk group is mounted, a disk group number is chosen. This number may change across disk group mounts. A disk group number is not recorded in any persistent structure, but the current value can be viewed in the GROUP_NUMBER column of the V$ASM views.
Example 6-1 Viewing disk group attributes with V$ASM_ATTRIBUTE
An example of the use of the V$ASM_ATTRIBUTE and V$ASM_DISKGROUP views is shown in this example. The COMPATIBLE.ASM value must be set to 11.1 or higher for the disk group to display in the V$ASM_ATTRIBUTE view output. Attributes that are designated as read-only (Y) can only be set during disk group creation.
SELECT SUBSTR(dg.name,1,12) AS diskgroup, SUBSTR(a.name,1,24) AS name,
SUBSTR(a.value,1,24) AS value, read_only FROM V$ASM_DISKGROUP dg,
V$ASM_ATTRIBUTE a WHERE dg.name = 'DATA' AND dg.group_number = a.group_number
AND a.name NOT LIKE '%template%';

Example 6-2 Viewing the compatibility of a disk group with V$ASM_DISKGROUP
You can view the compatibility for a disk group with the V$ASM_DISKGROUP view, as shown in this example.
SELECT name AS diskgroup, substr(compatibility,1,12) AS asm_compat,
substr(database_compatibility,1,12) AS db_compat FROM V$ASM_DISKGROUP;

Example 6-3 Viewing disks in disk groups with V$ASM_DISK
An example of the use of the V$ASM_DISK and V$ASM_DISKGROUP views is shown in this example. This example displays the disks associated with a disk group, plus the mount status, state, and failure group of the disks.
SELECT SUBSTR(dg.name,1,16) AS diskgroup, SUBSTR(d.name,1,16) AS asmdisk,
d.mount_status, d.state, SUBSTR(d.failgroup,1,16) AS failgroup
FROM V$ASM_DISKGROUP dg, V$ASM_DISK d WHERE dg.group_number = d.group_number;
