Cause – At least one of the available network subnets should be configured for use by Oracle Automatic Storage Management (ASM).
Action – Configure one of the available network subnets for Oracle Automatic Storage Management (ASM) use if you intend to configure Near Oracle ASM or Client Oracle ASM
This error occurs when we install flex clusters in RAC
Solution:
Choose interface for both ASM and private interconnect
Network interface subnet are not same for both the RAC nodes
Cause – The Public or Private interface on the nodes indicated are on a different subnet than the ones used on other nodes.
Action – Ensure that the specified Public or Private interface share the same subnet across the nodes.

Solution:
Contact your network admin
identify the mac address of both nodes nic interface card
configure the ethernet interface to the same subnet!
Reconfigure ipaddress for nodes

while installing a database ,we can specify these disks to create ASM diskgroups
Optimizer is a software or an algorithmic code which has the intelligence to decide the path to access the data in an efficient way in oracle database.
We have options to choose optimizer mode to prioritize the utilization of resources to serve their own purpose.
There are two options in cost based optimizer mode
Example:
SQL> show parameter optimizer_mode
NAME TYPE VALUE
------------------------------------ ----------- ------------------------------
optimizer_mode string ALL_ROWS
By default, ALL_ROWS is used in every databases.But we can set the optimizer mode at session level with first_rows_1000, first_rows_100, first_rows_10 and first_rows_1
FIRST_ROWS,RULE and CHOOSE mode are deprecated in earlier releases and no longer used
SQL> alter session set optimizer_mode = first_rows_100;
Session altered.
Elapsed: 00:00:00.00
SQL> alter session set optimizer_mode = first_rows_10000;
ERROR:
ORA-00096: invalid value FIRST_ROWS_10000 for parameter optimizer_mode, must be
from among first_rows_1000, first_rows_100, first_rows_10, first_rows_1,
first_rows, all_rows, choose, rule
FIRST_ROWS behaviour in a select query :
I provide a hint FIRST_ROWS(1000) to force optimizer to give preference and retrieve the first 1000 rows as fast as possible and the preceding rows are retrieved later!
The execution plan says that the optimizer used index range scan + table access by rowid batched to satisfy this condition
SQL> exec dbms_stats.gather_table_stats('','t');
PL/SQL procedure successfully completed.

ALL_ROWS hint behaviour in a select query! Here the optimizer went for a full table scan to retrieve complete set of rows as a whole and not giving preference to first n rows.

From above two behaviour of optimizer,we observe different Plan hash value for the same query which is syntactically and semantically same. But the end goals are different for optimizer modes which change the execution plan behaviour of optimizer!
We do see the execution time difference between FIRST_ROWS(Elapsed: 00:00:00.27) and ALL_ROWS(Elapsed: 00:00:00.29) because of an index usage in FIRST_ROWS which fetched first 1000 rows faster.
While exporting full database with multiple files per set and degree of parallelism,we encounter the ORA-39095 error
[oracle@orcl12x base]$ oerr ora 39095
39095, 00000, "Dump file space has been exhausted: Unable to allocate %s bytes"
// *Cause: The Export job ran out of dump file space before the job was
// completed.
// *Action: Reattach to the job and add additional dump files to the job
// restarting the job.
Solution:
1)FILESIZE
Specify the size of each dump file in units of bytes.
The parameter value should be increased as per the total size of the object or database
eg: If database size is 1GB,then filesize per set = 100MB and degree of parallel = 10
which is 100 * 100MB/10 DOP = 100 MB per thread of CPU will be utilized
2)we forget to specify %U character on the dumpfile which spawn multiple jobs each process per file
eg: dumpfile=orcl19x_%U.dmp
