Updating the Oracle ASM ASM_DISKSTRING Parameter for Oracle ASM Filter Driver Disks

You can update the Oracle ASM disk discovery string to add or remove Oracle ASMFD disk label names to and from the ASM_DIKSTRING initialization parameter.

For example, you can add the Oracle ASMFD disks to the ASM_DIKSTRING initialization parameter as follows:

ASM_DISKSTRING = 'AFD:DISK0', 'AFD:DISK1', '/dev/rdsk/mydisks/*'

Or you can set the ASM_DIKSTRING initialization parameter as follows:

ASM_DISKSTRING = 'AFD:*', '/dev/rdsk/mydisks/*'

You can display and set the Oracle ASM disk discovery string with the ASMCMD dsget and dsset commands. For example, you can set the Oracle ASM disk discovery string to add Oracle ASMFD disks as follows:

$ $ORACLE_HOME/bin/asmcmd dsset 'AFD:*','/dev/rdsk/mydisks/*'

You can remove previously added Oracle ASMFD disks as follows:

$ $ORACLE_HOME/bin/asmcmd dsset '/dev/rdsk/mydisks/*'

For information about ASMCMD commands to display and set the Oracle ASM disk discovery string, refer to "dsget" and "dsset".
