ASM on AIX 5.3?

71981Mar 28 2008 — edited Mar 31 2008

We just set up a new IBM p5 520 with 6 disks to run AIX 5.3 (hdisk0-hdisk5). The system is up, patches applied, security hardened, users created, have the base rootvg on hdisk0 and now it's time to install Oracle.

We intend to use one of the disks to extend the file system for the Oracle Base to install into and add a page space to conform to the pre-installation checklist, We DO want to use ASM so the remaining 4 disks will be for ASM disk group(s).

and our question is:

Do we just hand over the disks (hdisk(n)) to the Oracle installer to create ASM disk group(s)? Do we need to do anything in the LVM? Do we need to create LV's and hand THOSE over to the installer? I am sensing that we DO NOT want to go in and start mirroring and striping in the LVM...is there anything out there as to "best practices" for ASM on AIX specifically?
