You approach seems incorect.
The devices are shared right ? So why do you re-create partitions on the server B, after you have created them and prepared your devices on Server A ?
The procedure should be:
Server A fdisk /dev/sde -> create partition fdisk /dev/sdd -> create partition /etc/init.d/oracleasm createdisk ... /dev/sde1 /etc/init.d/oracleasm createdisk ... /dev/sdf1
Server B fdisk /dev/sde "p" for print, you should see the partition created "w" to rewrite it, and refresh in memory partition table fdisk /dev/sdf "p" for print, you should see the partition created "w" to rewrite it, and refresh in memory partition table
/etc/init.d/oracleasm scandisks /etc/init.d/oracleasm listdisks -> should show your marked devices
Use dbca to create diskgroups.

Hello,
Here is what I am trying to do.
two servers: Let's call A and B in short ASMLib 1.0 installed and configured on server A and B two shared raw devices /dev/sde and /dev/sdf
Server A create 1 partition on each of them, /dev/sde1 and /dev/sdf1, using fdisk command /etc/init.d/oracleasm createdisk VOL1 /dev/sde1 /etc/init.d/oracleasm createdisk VOL2 /dev/sdf1 /etc/init.d/oracleasm listdisks (shows VOL1 and VOL2) run dbca to configure ASM: DATA_1 --> VOL1 and DATA_2 --> VOL2
Server B use sfidk -R to create 1 partition on /dev/sde and /devsdf /etc/init.d/oracleasm scandisks <---- want to give server B a notice of VOL1 and VOL2 ASM diskgroups /etc/init.d/oracleasm listdisks <----- show nothing ???? run dbca to configure ASM: <--- can't see any asn disk group(s)
Does anyone can point it out to the missing/wrong procedure of the above configuration?
If I use /etc/init.d/oracleasm createdisk VOL1 /dev/sde1 on Server B, I can see the diskgroup while configuring ASM, but I got,
ora-15003, Disk Group DATA_1 already mounted in another lock name space
*****************************
Does anyone have any idea of how to make that working? Many thanks for all the help. Cindy
