101 Series of Oracle in Google Cloud - Part I : Building ASM and Database

About a year ago, I worked on a project with some amazing teammates (Simon Pane and Karun Dutt) to collaborate on a POC to move their Oracle environment into Google Cloud. This series reflects some of the things I learned while working on this project, and provides a guide for testing Oracle in Google Cloud.

Note: that I am not a licensing expert, so before you do this, make sure you consult with your Google/Oracle Sales representative to be clear about what’s allowed and the costs involved.

Because this is a “101” series, let’s start by logging into Google Cloud. By now you should already have an account in cloud.google.com and installed the Google Cloud SDK. Because I use a Mac, I downloaded it from this location. Then, I logged into my Google Cloud account:

Renes-MacBook-Pro-2:~ rene$ gcloud auth login **********@*****.com

Because I’m using Google Free Tier, there are limitations on disk sizes, instance type, quotas, etc. These are the specifications I used:

  • Google Cloud instance name: rene-ace-test-inst1
  • n1-standard-8 VM which has 8 vCPU and 30GB of memory
  • Centos 7
  • 1 150GB SSD disk for ASM, disk group name: DATA
  • 1 100GB HD disk for the boot disk
  • Default subnet network
  • No quotas
  • Oracle 19.3 for OHAS and RDBMS
  • Oracle DB instance name: DBTEST

First, create the disk to use for ASM. In this case, I used a 150GB SSD disk:

Renes-MacBook-Pro-2:~ rene$ gcloud compute disks create rene-ace-disk-asm1 \
> --project=oracle-migration \
> --type=pd-ssd \
> --size=150GB \
> --labels=item=rene-ace \
> --zone=us-central1-c
Created [https://www.googleapis.com/compute/v1/projects/oracle-migration/zones/us-central1-c/disks/rene-ace-disk-asm1].
NAME ZONE SIZE_GB TYPE STATUS
rene-ace-disk-asm1 us-central1-c 150 pd-ssd READY

Create a 100GB HD disk for the boot disk with Centos 7:

Renes-MacBook-Pro-2:~ rene$ gcloud compute disks create rene-ace-inst1-boot-disk \
> --project=oracle-migration \
> --type=pd-standard \
> --size=100GB \

WARNING: You have selected a disk size of under [200GB]. This may result in poor I/O performance. For more information, see: https://developers.google.com/compute/docs/disks#performance.

WARNING: Some requests generated warnings:
- Disk size: '100 GB' is larger than image size: '10 GB'. You might need to resize the root repartition manually if the operating system does not support automatic resizing. See https://cloud.google.com/compute/docs/disks/add-persistent-disk#resize_pd for details.

NAME ZONE SIZE_GB TYPE STATUS
rene-ace-inst1-boot-disk us-central1-c 100 pd-standard READY

After creating the ASM disk, create the VM with the boot disk that you just created:

Renes-MacBook-Pro-2:~ rene$ gcloud compute instances create rene-ace-test-inst1 \
> --project=oracle-migration \
> --zone=us-central1-c \
> --machine-type=n1-standard-8 \

> --no-scopes \
> --disk=name=rene-ace-inst1-boot-disk,device-name=rene-ace-inst1-boot-disk,mode=rw,boot=yes,auto-delete=yes \
> --tags=allow-ssh,egress-nat-gce \

NAME ZONE MACHINE_TYPE PREEMPTIBLE INTERNAL_IP EXTERNAL_IP STATUS

Attach the disk to use for ASM:

Renes-MacBook-Pro-2:~ rene$ gcloud compute instances attach-disk rene-ace-test-inst1 \
> --disk=rene-ace-disk-asm1 \
> --device-name=rene-ace-disk-asm1 \

Adjust the database to use large pages only, minimize SGA allocations, and adjust file system IO options:

[oracle@rene-ace-test-inst1 ~]$ echo "
> alter system set USE_LARGE_PAGES=ONLY scope=spfile;
> alter system set FILESYSTEMIO_OPTIONS=SETALL scope=spfile;
> alter system set SGA_TARGET=650M scope=spfile;
> alter system set SGA_MAX_SIZE=650M scope=spfile;
> alter system set SHARED_POOL_SIZE=256M scope=spfile;
> alter system set PGA_AGGREGATE_TARGET=50M scope=spfile;
> alter system set DB_CACHE_SIZE=64M scope=spfile;
> alter system set PARALLEL_MAX_SERVERS=0 scope=spfile;
> alter system set RECYCLEBIN=OFF scope=spfile;

Stop and restart the database so that the new parameters take effect. Use crs_status.sh to verify the status of the OHAS environment:

[oracle@rene-ace-test-inst1 ~]$ srvctl stop database -d ${ORACLE_SID}
[oracle@rene-ace-test-inst1 ~]$ srvctl start database -d ${ORACLE_SID}

Now that you have created the Google VM, installed OHAS, and created the Oracle DB, we're set to perform several tasks that I'll be describing in future series posts. I hope this helps expand your understanding of Google Cloud and how to install a database in it.
