Hi

I am planning to use ASM and following diskgroups

1)DataDg
2)redoDg1
3)redoDg2
4)flashDg

I have 4 Usable Luns from the SAN that are presented to the host o/s which is rhel 5

I have already created 3 primary partitions on Linux

1)MBR
2)root 
3)home

These partitions are under Linux LVM(Logical Volume Manager)

since BIOS supports only 4 primary partitions how can i use the 4 usable luns.

should i be creating a extended partitions on the LUNS that are presented to the host operating system

regards
Hrishy
