To provision a set of disks for Oracle ASM Filter Driver, follow these steps:
From Targets menu, select All Targets.
On the All Targets page, select any target of type Automatic Storage Management.
On the target home page, from Automatic Storage Management menu, select Configuration Parameters.
On the Configuration page, click Manage Disk Provisioning. The ASM Filter Driver Page is displayed.
From the Disks available for Provisioning table, select one or more disks, then click Provision.
The Provision Disks dialog box lists all the disks that were selected for provisioning. You can update the Label info if you want, then click OK.
After provisioning, the Oracle ASM disks appear in the Provisioned Disks table. These disks display with their new label. For example, if you select /dev/loop3
to be provisioned with a label LOOP3,
then after provisioning the disk displays as AFD:LOOP3
in the Provisioned Disks table.
After the disks are provisioned, they become eligible to be managed by the Oracle ASM Filter Driver.
