You are right about this, this is also part of the problem. It seems as if Oracle considers Linux to be the de-facto standard, and does not deliver full support on other Unix variants. The problem is not that ASM is not functional on AIX, but the fact that on AIX device configuration is quite dynamic and changes, while ASM requires lots of things to be fixed with mknod entries, which does not integrate at all with standard AIX system administration procedures.

Not only adding ASM device to a VG results in database corruption, something as innocent as "chdev -l <disk> -a pv=yes" overwrites the first block of the database device, resulting in elaborate restore actions. Received on Mon May 01 2006 - 08:08:07 CDT
