2.14.5.4 Creating a Target (--create --target)

The --create --target action creates a target that will be used to create the devices to add to the specified Oracle ASM disk group.

The --create --target action creates a target that can be accessed by database servers with an RDMA Network Fabric IP address in the specified IP address list.

After a target is created, the asm-disk-group, host-name, and size attributes cannot be changed.

Syntax

quorumdiskmgr --create --target --asm-disk-group asm_disk_group --visible-to ip_list
   [--host-name host_name] [--size size]

Parameters

Parameter	Description
--asm-disk-group	Specifies the Oracle ASM disk group to which the device created from the target will be added. The value of asm-disk-group is not case-sensitive.
--visible-to	Specifies a list of RDMA Network Fabric IP addresses. Database servers with an RDMA Network Fabric IP address in the list will have access to the target.
--host-name	Specifies the host name of the database server on which quorumdiskmgr runs. The total length of the values for asm-disk-group and host-name cannot exceed 26 characters. If the host name is too long, a shorter host name can be specified as long as a different host name is specified for each database server in the rack. This is an optional parameter. The default value is the host name of the database server on which quorumdiskmgr runs. The value of host-name is not case-sensitive.
--size	Specifies the size of the target. This is an optional parameter. The default value is 128 MB.

Example 2-7 Creating a Target For Oracle ASM Disk Group Devices

This example shows how to create a target for devices added to the DATAC1 disk group. That target is only visible to database servers that have an RDMA Network Fabric IP address of 192.168.10.45 or 192.168.10.46.

quorumdiskmgr --create --target --asm-disk-group=datac1 --visible-to="192.168.10.45, 192.168.10.46"
 --host-name=db01
