ASM Disk Group Options for Interactive and Noninteractive Installation

You can select new disk groups during interactive installations, but you must use existing disk groups for noninteractive installations.

Select from the following choices to store either database or recovery files in an existing Oracle ASM disk group, depending on installation method:

• Installation method that runs Database Configuration Assistant in interactive mode (either during installation or after installation)

  • Select new Disk Group

  • Select existing Disk Group

• Installation method that runs Database Configuration Assistant in noninteractive mode (either during installation or after installation)

  Select an existing Disk Group only. You cannot create a disk group during noninteractive installations.

  You can add disk devices to an existing disk group if it has insufficient free space.

  Note:

  The Oracle ASM instance that manages the existing disk group can be running in a different Oracle home directory.
