Configuring Database Storage on the Host 65
Configuring Disks for ASM Using Block Devices
1 Log in as root.
2 On the first node, use fdisk to create a single whole-disk primary partition
on the disk devices that you want to use for Database and Recovery Files
3 Append the disk devices for asm1 and asm2 to the permissions.ini file.
This file is located in the
/dell-oracle-deployment/scripts/ directory.
Ensure that you retain the Clusterware configuration that must already
exist in this file from the steps followed in the "Configuring Shared
Storage Disks for Oracle Clusterware Using Block Devices" on page 63
section.
For example, if your ASM1 and ASM2 disk devices are
/dev/emcpowerc1
and /dev/emcpowerd1 for Database and Recovery files respectively, then
the
permissions.ini file is modified as:
[asm]
asm1=/dev/emcpowerc1
asm2=/dev/emcpowerd1
To add an additional ASM disk device, ASM3, using /dev/emcpowere1 ,
add another entry to the session:
asm3=/dev/emcpowere1
4
After you set your permissions.ini file, run the permissions.py script
located under the
/dell-oracle-deployment/scripts/ folder:
./permissions.py
5
Run the following command to set the correct block device permissions:
/etc/rc.local
