Alex, I'm not 100% sure what you want to do; my assumption is your infra-structure creating a copy if some disks from Prod to PreProd? In general, you can do this without any problem, the name of the path can be different on source and target system. - Of course the copy must be _consistent_ BUT you can have the same DISKGROUP only once per ASM(cluster). for this purpose Oracle provides renamedg in Version 11.2 - http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E11882_01/server.112/e18951/asmdiskgrps.htm#CHDJAGHE hth Martin On Mon, Jul 23, 2012 at 8:43 PM, Alex Cwb <ab80cwb@xxxxxxxxx> wrote: > Hi all, > > It was installed 2 Oracle Rac 11.2.0.1 on HP-UX - environment Prod and > PreProd. > The infra-structure team asked us about some differences on ASM, > because they will use a tool from HP called Business Copy to refresh > the PreProd env ... > > I guess that tool will make an ultra-fast physical copy ... if someone > has some experience on this, its welcome. > > Basically, the difference are with two fields ... <Name> and > <Failgroup> when we check with ASM utility. > Ex: > PRD: /dev/rdisk/disk10 ? the name is SIM_0002 > PRE: /dev/rdisk/disk10 ? the name is SIM_0000 > > Is there any problem on changing those fields, ... or is there any way > of changing this?? > My guess that won't have any problem, but perhaps someone can confirm that. > > Thank you all in advance. > > Alex > > -- //www.freelists.org/webpage/oracle-l
