Regarding your PS, I know [unfortunately].  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!

Chris

Hi Chris,

Did you just add the new disks, or did you issue a single alter diskgroup 
command that specified an add and a drop?

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.

Subject: Slightly Urgent ASM Question - Cancel Rebalance operation

We're in the process of migrating existing ASM Disk Groups to a new storage 
configuration (new disks (metavolumes), same array).

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?

Thanks!!
