How to Configure the Oracle Database Access Using ASM

Use this procedure to configure the Oracle database access using ASM. You can use ASM on the top of VxVM or SVM.

1. Configure the disk devices for the ASM software to use.

   See the Using ASM in Sun Cluster Data Service for Oracle RAC Guide for Solaris OS for information about how to configure ASM.

2. Setup the permissions for the Oracle ASM disks to be used by Oracle ASM disk groups.

   1. Run the following commands for each device on each node that can master the Oracle resource group.

      # chown oraasm:dba /dev/did/rdisk/dn # chmod 660 /dev/did/rdisk/dn

   2. Verify that the changes are effective.

      # ls -lhL /dev/did/rdisk/dn
