Database Software

Hi,

Oracle 11.2.0.1, Oracle Linux 5.5

I would like to do some RMAN testing and for this reason rename an existing directory in an ASM diskgroup, temporarily.

The database 'orcl' instance is shutdown. I have tried the following using the ASM/Grid environment:

Connected to:
Oracle Database 11g Enterprise Edition Release 11.2.0.1.0 - 64bit Production
With the Automatic Storage Management option

SQL> alter diskgroup DATA rename directory '+DATA/ORCL' TO '+DATA/OLDORCL';
alter diskgroup DATA rename directory '+DATA/ORCL' TO '+DATA/OLDORCL'

ASMCMD> ls -l

                                        Y    ASM/
                                        Y    ORCL/
                                        Y    RCAT/

ASMCMD> ls -l ORCL

                                                 Y    CONTROLFILE/
                                                 Y    DATAFILE/
                                                 Y    ONLINELOG/
                                                 Y    PARAMETERFILE/
                                                 Y    TEMPFILE/
                                                 N    spfileorcl.ora => +DATA/ORCL/PARAMETERFILE/spfile.270.737565081

I also removed the alias inside the ORCL directory, but it does not help. How can I rename the directory?

Thanks.
