Hello all,

I'm trying to install some clusterware. I have attached, a SAN unit, that was previously used for ASM.

After I installed the ASM libs/drivers...I ran oracleasm scandisks, and it found all of them.
I have ASM1,ASM2....ASMn

I thought, "great"..saves me time having to go through, find each disk device and configure them. I don't mind losing data on them.

I'm in the middle of the OUI for cluster install (11Gr2 on RHEL5)...and on the ASM portion (getting ready to create a disk group for the cluster for voting disk, etc)...well, under candidate disks...it shows nothing.
If I click the all disks option..it shows all my oracle volumes...but their status is 'member'. It will not allow me to add them to my to be new disk group.

I'm not sure what to do.

One problem...is that I can't seem to find a way to find out what physical disk device is associated with each ASM disk.
For instance:

oracleasm querydisk ASM33
Disk "ASM33" is a valid ASM disk

It just shows it's a valid disk...but if I wanted to release it, reconfigure it..etc, I don't know what physical disk it is, and I'd like to use the same layout that was used before.

Is there a way to find out what disk (example: /dev/sda12) is associated with ASM33?

I don't see any options listed for this in the man page for oracleasm, and I can't seem to find much documentation for this either...

Thanks in advance,

cayenne
