Won't undrop work?
from oracle-base:

The UNDROP DISKS clause of the ALTER DISKGROUP statement allows pending disk drops to be undone. It will not revert drops that have completed, or disk drops associated with the dropping of a disk group.

ALTER DISKGROUP disk_group_1 UNDROP DISKS; hth

I'd say no to removing those disks. If they show any space allocated to them in ASM then they've got AUMs on them and can't be removed.

And of course Mark and David F. have replied while I'm writing this, but sending anyway to show I'm not ignoring Chris. :-)

Hi Chris,

Did you just add the new disks, or did you issue a single alter diskgroup command that specified an add and a drop?

What state are the disks in?
select group_number,disk_number,name,path,mount_status,header_status,mode_status,state from v$asm_disk;

If all you did was add new disks, then you should be able to just as easily drop them again, with no harm.

-Mark

PS Not directly related to your question, but all the disks in a given diskgroup should be the same size, or you can run into weird space allocation errors, where there's free space in a DG, but it can't be used, and you'll get out of space errors with free space available.

We're in the process of migrating existing ASM Disk Groups to a new storage configuration (new disks (metavolumes), same array).

We've done this in DEV/QA and everything went fine.

Now, in Prod, I started the ARCHIVELOG diskgroup migration and discovered that the disks I was given aren't enough for the space I'm currently using.

So, the first thing I did was set the REBALANCE POWER for the operation to 0.

Now v$asm_operation shows no rows.

My Diskgroup in question now shows the below - what I need to know is: Can I now REMOVE the disks I started to add which are RAW112 through RAW117 until I get the right number of disks from storage, or am I in a weird/bad situation?

Thanks!!
