It was a stopgap measure and temporary and this storage migration will resolve that. I talked to the storage folks and was acknowledged that they inadvertently shorted me disks. Another question, can I run an ADD DISK to add additional DISKS while this operation is in this state? Any other thoughts are much appreciated!

What state are the disks in? select group_number,disk_number,name,path,mount_status,header_status,mode_status,state from v$asm_disk; If all you did was add new disks, then you should be able to just as easily drop them again, with no harm. -Mark PS Not directly related to your question, but all the disks in a given diskgroup should be the same size, or you can run into weird space allocation errors, where there's free space in a DG, but it can't be used, and you'll get out of space errors with free space available.

We've done this in DEV/QA and everything went fine. Now, in Prod, I started the ARCHIVELOG diskgroup migration and discovered that the disks I was given aren't enough for the space I'm currently using. So, the first thing I did was set the REBALANCE POWER for the operation to 0. Now v$asm_operation shows no rows. My Diskgroup in question now shows the below - what I need to know is: Can I now REMOVE the disks I started to add which are RAW112 through RAW117 until I get the right number of disks from storage, or am I in a weird/bad situation?
