CRS version : 11.2
os : AIX 6.1
We have some LUNs allocated to our DB server. These LUNs used to be MEMBER of another disk group. Later these LUNs got dropped from that disk group. Now, V$ASM_DISK.HEADER_STATUS = FORMER for these LUNs.
select name, path, state, mount_status, header_status from v$asm_disk where upper(path) like '%ORCL%';
NAME PATH STATE MOUNT_STATUS HEADER_STATUS TOTAL_MB FREE_MB
-------------------- -------------------------- -------- -------------------- -------------------- ---------- ----------
/dev/raw_orcl_data01 NORMAL CLOSED FORMER 0 0
Now we need to use these 'FORMER' LUNs to create another diskgroup.
Any intervention is required from AIX team to use LUN/Slice with FORMER status to use in another DG ?
I am worried because we usually add LUNs to a Disk group only if V$ASM_DISK.HEADER_STATUS = CANDIDATE for that LUN.
