Perform this step only if the RAC configuration uses shared storage and a
Linux Device Mapper Multipath driver.
a Set the ORACLEASM_SCANORDER parameter in
/etc/sysconfig/oracleasm to dm .
NOTE: If you are using EMC storage, change the ORACLEASM_SCANORDER
parameter in /etc/sysconfig/oracleasm to emcpower.
b Reboot the system to apply the changes.
4 On the first node in the terminal window, type the following and press
<Enter>:
service oracleasm createdisk ASM1 /dev/emcpowerb1
service oracleasm createdisk ASM2 /dev/emcpowerc1

Repeat step 4 for any additional ASM disks that need to be created.
6 Verify that the ASM disks are created and marked for ASM usage. In the
terminal window, type the following and press <Enter>:
service oracleasm listdisks
The disks that you created in step 4 are displayed. For example:
ASM1
ASM2
7 Ensure that the remaining nodes are able to access the ASM disks that you
created in step 4. On each remaining node, open a terminal window, type
the following, and press <Enter>:
service oracleasm scandisks
