RE: Question re oracleasm

Greg,

I took a look at the note and don't see an answer to this particular question. The interesting thing is that ./etc/init.d/oracleasm listdisks returns nothing. That is the puzzling thing.

Thanks.

These are the files were created and are used by ASMlib.

When you use "/etc/init.d/oracleasm createdisk ..." it will put a file in the /dev/oracleasm/disks directory.

I believe that /dev/oracleasm/iid is for the ASM instance ids. Since there are 3, I assume you have 3 ASM instances in your cluster.

See "Making Disks Available to ASMLib"
