Creating Database 11gR1 on ASM 11gR2

On Forums - show 10g database creating with 11gR2 ASM failed.
If we check on oracle support, we can use [ID 949073.1] ... That's helpful issue to fix.

To run older databases on 11gR2 ASM and Clusterware we need to create a persistent configuration for the nodes(pinning a node). Because Cluster configuration in 11gR2 is dynamic. This dynamic configuration is incompatible with older database releases.

On Oracle Document about "Pinning Cluster Nodes for Oracle Database Release 10.x or 11.x".

Time To Test It... (Creating Database 11gR1 on ASM 11gR2) and error.

ORA-19624: operation failed, retry possible

Check ASM... about database compatibility.

SQL> select name, compatibility, database_compatibility, state from v$asm_diskgroup_stat;

NAME COMPATIBILITY DATABASE_COMPAT STATE

DISK00 11.2.0.0.0 10.1.0.0.0 MOUNTED

DISK02 11.1.0.0.0 11.1.0.0.0 MOUNTED

then pin node, by crsctl pin css

# cd /oracle/grid2/
# cd bin/
# ./olsnodes -t -n
rhel5-test 1 Unpinned

# ./crsctl pin css -n rhel5-test
CRS-4664: Node rhel5-test successfully pinned.

# ./olsnodes -t -n
rhel5-test 1 Pinned

then create database again... and no problem.

then register my database(11gR1) in Grid.

$ srvctl add database -d orcl11gr1 -o /oracle/product/11.1/db -p +DISK02/orcl11gr1/spfileorcl11gr1.ora -y AUTOMATIC
$ srvctl add instance -d orcl11gr1 -i orcl11gr1 -n rhel5-test

$ srvctl start database -d orcl11gr1
$ srvctl status database -d orcl11gr1
Instance orcl11gr1 is running on node rhel5-test

$ ./crsstat ora.orcl11gr1
