Oracle 11G configured in VCS 3 node cluster. (oracleasm diskscan is not working)
We have created diskgroup which contains 3 volume.. One is created with filesystem and other two volume we used for ASM.
eg. datadg - diskgroup
/dev/vx/dsk/datadg/datavol - filesystem
/dev/vx/dsk/datadg/dataasm1 - asm disk (device path to configure asm disk group at DB end)
/dev/vx/dsk/datadg/dataasm2 - asm disk (device path to configure asm disk group at DB end)
DB instance - required the filesystem as well as asm disk..
DB is now running fine but oracleasm scandisks is not detecting the asm disks.. I have to give device path with this command 'oracleasm scandsisk /dev/vx/dsk/datadg/*' then only it is detecting the ASM lun...
I am not sure whether this setup is correct or not.. I want to scan the asm disks without device path. Please provide the solution.
oracleasm is an oracle binary, so I would suggest to raise a forum discussion in oracle forums.
As per oracleasm man page located at
https://oss.oracle.com/projects/oracleasm-support/src/trunk/documents/oracleasm.txt
oracleasm scandisks command should work without a device path option. Were these disks configured via command line or via using GUI ? were the permissions set correctly for the volume to be used as ASM volumes ?
