ASM Disk Remove/Add Question

Linux-RAC-AdminSep 18 2012 — edited Sep 18 2012
Hello All,

I have a quick question -

We have an ASM Diskgroup that had 8 Disks in it. I removed 2 Diskss and the Diskgroup has been rebalanced. I have not done anything with the removed Disks.

They both appear in the ASM target as eligble to add back into the Diskgroup.

Do I need to re-format/partition/create disk on them before adding them back in? Would existing data on the Diskl cause an issue in the Diskgroup?

This is the first time I will be adding back Disks that have been previously in the Diskgroup.

Thanks in advance for the advice.

Michele
