I have been scratching my head for a little while now. Has anyone got ASM on Solaris 10 + EMC powerpath to work? I have changed permissions and ownership on the devices in /dev/rdsk/emc* and changed the discovery path for ASM to /dev/rdsk/emc* Although ASM discovers disks, it doesn't discover the partitions I want it to discover. I get the emcpowerxp0 and for some devices it's emcpowerxp1 (where x is the number of the device) So I think I'd want to create a partition on the emcpowerx device spanning the whole disk.
