In Oracle ASM, point the ASM_DISKSTRING to /dev/oracleasm to make things come to life.Īsmdisks can handle raw volumes (i.e. By default, managed volumes appear as /dev/oracleasm/ with owner "grid" and group "asmdba". It also provides consistent naming based on SCSI serial IDs or device mapper configuration. It manages a file named /etc/asmtab with definitions for configuring Linux UDEV devices so you don't have to manually create the udev rules file. The asmdisks package provides some scripts of which /usr/bin/asm is the most important. You can use a combination of entire disks, partitions or mapper (including multipath) devices to configure as block devices for Oracle ASM (or other purposes such as destructive IOPS performance testing).
