9.7.1.3 Creating a Sparse Grid Disk
To create the sparse ASM grid disk, log in to each cell (or use dcli
) in CellCLI
and run a command similar to the following, changing size values where appropriate:
CellCLI> create griddisk all harddisk prefix=SPARSE, size=56G, virtualsize=560G
This creates a grid disk of physical size 56 GB but presents to ASM as a 560 GB grid disk. The size
parameter should match the actual physical size of the ASM grid disk while the virtualsize
parameter should be at least the physical size of the ASM grid disk.
Attributes for the ASM grid disk created above would look like the following from the "LIST GRIDDISK DETAIL
" command:
CellCLI> LIST GRIDDISK DETAIL size: 56G sparse: TRUE virtualSize: 560G
size
displays the actual physical size of the grid disk.
sparse
has a value of TRUE
.
virtualSize
displays the virtual size of the grid disk.
