Are the new devices created by udev?
Did you set ASM_DISKTRING (
https://docs.oracle.com/en/database/oracle/oracle-database/12.2/refrn/ASM_DISKSTRING.html)
to search that location?

We are changing SANs from an EMC VNX to an EMC UNITY. The servers and
SANs are hosted at a third-party site. We are on RHEL 6.8. We are not
using ASMLib.
When I was informed that the LUNs had been presented to the servers (it's
a 2-node RAC) I re-scanned the hosts and the Powerpath devices showed up.
Using parted I partitioned each LUN as a full primary partition. I added
the WWID to udev rules, but no matter what I try, the LUNs are not showing
up in the ASM search path. Generally I don't use Powerpath, so I'm hoping
I don't have to reboot the server to get these to show up.
*Here's what I see (using one LUN as an example):*
*[root@685925-db6 dev]# ls -al |grep emcpowereebrw-rw---- 1 root disk

I've tried rescanning the host(s), /sbin/udevadm control --reload-rules
with /sbin/udevadm trigger --type=devices --action=change and powermt save
and powermt config.
Nothing.
Do I need to reboot or is there some way to get these to show up?
