Hi,

On Linuxbased systems, disks can be configured as direct raw devices (/dev/raw/raw*) or can be ASMaware (ORCL:AVOL*)using the ASMLIB utility.

When configuring ASMdisks using basic raw devices, no additional configuration is required. However, if the ASMLIB utility is used, then ASM disks are created using the oracleasm script as follows:

[root@oradb1 root]# /etc/init.d/oracleasm createdisk AVOL1 /dev/sdg
Creating Oracle ASM disk "AVOL1" [ OK ]

When ASM scans for disks, it will use that string ORCL:AVOL* and find any devices it has permission to open.

Upon successful discovery,the V$ASM_DISK view on the ASM instance will list these disks.

After disks have been discovered by ASM, they can be grouped together.


Regards,

Muhammad Ahmad
