Re: ASM Record Deletions

Alex    

  thanks for the information. I will send the slide itself to you as I don't have the link. Is there any way I can get the information outside the database like from CSS temp file that it is maintaining this information as long as both ASM and associated database is running.

Now, you can mount or unmoung diskgroup using ALTER DISKGROUP MOUNT/DISMOUNT; ASM_DISKGROUPS init.ora parameter controls which disk groups are mounted at startup. It also used to mount umount disks using ALTER DISKGROUP ALL MOUNT/DISMOUNT. Note that ALTER DISKGROUP MOUNT/DISMOUNT with specific diskgroup name modifies this parameter in spfile if you have one.

Now regarding CSS. In my understanding it has nothing to do with association of diskgroup to ASM instance. As I mentioned this is controlled by you or ASM instance at startup base on init.ora parameter ASM_DISKGROUPS. What CSS is tracking is association between database instance and ASM instance that it's connected to.

If you have the link to the presentation - please share. I would like to see it - maybe my understanding is incorrect.
