Now i dont know if its linux related or emc power path(but i think its power path), we had to have storage peeps, skip the first part of the disk and all of our asm disks use partition 1 not the entire disk, something about having to skip first meg or something like that. bug i suppose. joe _______________________________________ Joe Testa, Oracle Certified Professional Senior Engineering & Administration Lead (Work) 614-677-1668 (Cell) 614-312-6715 From: "Martin Bach" <development@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> To: oracle-l@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Date: 11/08/2010 11:55 AM Subject: Solaris 10 x64, EMC Powerpath and ASM Sent by: oracle-l-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Hi list! I have been scratching my head for a little while now. Has anyone got ASM on Solaris 10 + EMC powerpath to work? I have changed permissions and ownership on the devices in /dev/rdsk/emc* and changed the discovery path for ASM to /dev/rdsk/emc* Although ASM discovers disks, it doesn't discover the partitions I want it to discover. I get the emcpowerxp0 and for some devices it's emcpowerxp1 (where x is the number of the device) So I think I'd want to create a partition on the emcpowerx device spanning the whole disk. Any help appreciated, Martin -- //www.freelists.org/webpage/oracle-l
