Hi All

I am having standalone(NON-RAC) box with Linux AS3 and oracle 10G installed on it. It is having one atabase as ORCL. Now i wants to configure ASM on it. For that I did the following activities.

mkdir -p /u03
mkdir -p /u03/asmdisks

dd if=/dev/zero of=/u03/asmdisks/disk0 bs=1024k number=100
dd if=/dev/zero of=/u03/asmdisks/disk1 bs=1024k number=100
dd if=/dev/zero of=/u03/asmdisks/disk2 bs=1024k number=100
dd if=/dev/zero of=/u03/asmdisks/disk3 bs=1024k number=100

chown -R oracle:oinstall /u03
chmod -R 777 /u03

Then i chose to create the database through DBCA for creation of ASM Instance. Where i gave database Sid as ASM and selected AUTOMATIC STORAGE MANAGEMENT for the storage. The ASM Instance get created smoothly and start. In the parameter of asm instance i set the parameter asm_diskstring as '/u03/asmdisks/*'

Now when i create the diskgroup as DGROUP1 with normal redundancy, I am not able to see any of my member disks.

Kindly Help.

Regards
Bally

ASM is looking for real disks, not files within a filesystem.

If you just want to test ASM, set the "_ASM_ALLOW_ONLY_RAW_DISKS" parameter as described at http://www.orafaq.com/forum/m/113561/0/
