Oracle/GRID 11.2.0.4 on Linux
We recently added a large number of platter disks to our 'slow' disk group. As expected, ASM began rebalancing that disk group. It is expected that this process may take several days. In the meantime, we had to replace a couple of failed SSD disks on our 'fast' disk group. Evidently, rebalancing on the 'fast' group is waiting for the completion of the rebalancing on the slow group. Is there any way to suspend the rebalancing on the slow group to let the fast group finish sooner? Can I assign a lower 'power' factor to the the slow group and a higher value for the fast group? Research gives me ways to manually initiate a re-balance, but no way to suspend or stop a rebalance in a given disk group.
Thanks,
