Guidelines for Configuring Oracle ASM Filter Driver

Review these guidelines before you configure Oracle ASM Filter Driver (Oracle ASMFD) for device persistence.

  • If ASMLIB is installed and configured for an existing Oracle ASM installation, then you must explicitly deinstall the existing ASMLIB configuration before installing and configuring Oracle ASMFD.

  • If ASMLIB has been previously installed on the system, then you must set the Oracle ASM disk string to '' (with ASMCMD dsset '') before running ASMCMD afd_configure to configure Oracle ASMFD.
