ASM disk groups can be created on multiple NFS shares residing on different NAS servers. Spanning them across multiple NAS servers might provide improved load balancing and flexible capacity planning. To use snapshots for a database, all disk groups containing the database must reside on a single NAS server. Snapshots are not supported across multiple NAS servers.
To create ASM disk groups on PowerStore NFS exports, follow these steps.
The location and name used in this paper is: /ora-asm-db2/asm-*. This example uses asmca to change the disk string:
asmca displays the available disks in the discovery path. If the ASM disks created previously are missing, check the ownership and permission of the disks.
