Hi, I have running such configuration on multiple client sites without a problem. There was a metalink note about how to setup solaris partitions (or slices) to be used in ASM, but it seems to have disappeared (note 271621.1). But anyway, most important was that you used slice 4 as asm partitions and that you started few cylinders ahead (see also metalink note 368840.1). regards, Freek D'Hooge Uptime Oracle Database Administrator e-mail: freek.dhooge@xxxxxxxxx tel. +32 (0)3 451 23 82 http://www.uptime.be From: oracle-l-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [oracle-l-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Pankaj Jain [pjain@xxxxxxxxxx] Sent: 23 February 2009 21:34 To: oracle list Subject: ASM on SUn solaris ?
