Confirm that all nodes see the external storage devices by typing:

Configuring Shared Storage for CRS
This section provides instructions for configuring the shared storage for the Cluster Ready Services
(CRS).
1 On the first node, create three partitions on an external storage device with fdisk :
Ty p e
fdisk /dev/emcpowerx and create three partitions of 150 MB each for the
Cluster Repository, voting disk, and the Oracle system parameter file.
2 Verify the new partitions by typing:
more /proc/partitions
If the new partitions appear in the /proc/partitions file, type:
sfdisk -R /dev/<device name>
3 On each node , perform the following steps:
a Type the following commands to change and identify the names of the raw character
devices:
mv /dev/raw/raw1 /dev/raw/votingdisk
mv /dev/raw/raw2 /dev/raw/ocr.dbf
mv /dev/raw/raw3 /dev/raw/spfile+ASM.ora
b Type the following commands to set user oracle ownership of the Cluster Repository
and voting disk:
chown oracle.dba /dev/raw/votingdisk
chown oracle.dba /dev/raw/ocr.dbf
chown oracle.dba /dev/raw/spfile+ASM.ora
