Configuring Disk Devices for Oracle ASM on IBM AIX
Complete these tasks to configure disk devices for use with Oracle Automatic
Storage Management (Oracle ASM).
If necessary, install the disks that you intend to use for the disk group and
restart the system.
To ensure that the disks are available, enter the following command:
# /usr/sbin/lsdev -Cc disk
The output from this command is similar to the following:
hdisk0 Available 1A-09-00-8,0 16 Bit LVD SCSI Disk Drive
hdisk1 Available 1A-09-00-9,0 16 Bit LVD SCSI Disk Drive
hdisk2DSSMTPSVR.Transbank.local Available 17-08-L SSA Logical Disk Drive
If a disk is not listed as available, then configure the new disks:
# /usr/sbin/cfgmgr
Enter the following command on any node to identify the device names for the
physical disks that you want to use:
# /usr/sbin/lspv | grep -i none
This command displays information similar to the following for each disk that is
not configured in a volume group:
hdisk2 0000078752249812 None
In this example, hdisk2 is the device name of the disk and 0000078752249812 is the
physical volume ID (PVID). The disks that you want to use may have a PVID, but they
must not belong to a volume group.
Enter commands similar to the following to clear the PVID from each disk device
that you want to use:
# /usr/sbin/chdev -l hdiskn -a pv=clear
Enter commands similar to the following to change the owner, group, and permissions
on the character file for each disk that you want to add to the disk group:
chown grid:asmadmin /dev/rhdisk5
chmod 660 /dev/rhdisk2
chdev -l hdisk219 -a reserve_policy=no_reserve
chown grid:asmadmin /dev/rhdisk19
chmod 660 /dev/rhdisk19
chdev -l hdisk19 -a reserve_policy=no_reserve
chown grid:asmadmin /dev/rhdisk19
chmod 660 /dev/rhdisk19
chdev -l hdisk19 -a reserve_policy=no_reserve
chown grid:asmadmin /dev/rhdisk222
chmod 660 /dev/rhdisk222
chdev -l hdisk222 -a reserve_policy=no_reserve
asm_data01
Note:If you are using a multi-pathing disk driver with Automatic Storage
Management, then ensure that you set the permissions only on the correct logical
device name for the disk.
