Dear!
This is the first time I must do this: Resize or add disk in ASM. So, I will do it on production, and I need your guide.

Let me describe something.

- The storage has partitions like:
http://i95.photobucket.com/albums/l130/trantuananh24hg/verify_partition_on_storage.jpg

- And now, the size of ASM disk was full
http://i95.photobucket.com/albums/l130/trantuananh24hg/verify_datafile_sizes.jpg
http://i95.photobucket.com/albums/l130/trantuananh24hg/untitled.jpg

Because I've not ever done for adding disk to diskgroup, then I list the tasks here, wish you help me to verify.

Step 1- Format the storage, add partitions (I will create 4 partitions of 120gb, 1 partitions 60gb, 1 partitions 27gb).
http://i95.photobucket.com/albums/l130/trantuananh24hg/add_partitions.jpg
http://i95.photobucket.com/albums/l130/trantuananh24hg/add_partitions_2.jpg

Step 2- Add the rawdevice in /etc/sysconfig/rawdevices
In the picture here, I'll not just add rawdevice in /etc/sysconfig/rawdevices. So I'll do:

http://i95.photobucket.com/albums/l130/trantuananh24hg/raw_devices.jpg

add lines in /etc/sysconfig/rawdevices
/dev/raw/raw7 /dev/cciss/c0d1p9
/dev/raw/raw8 /dev/cciss/c0d1p10
/dev/raw/raw9 /dev/cciss/c0d1p11
/dev/raw/raw10 /dev/cciss/c0d1p12


restart rawdevices service to bind in asm
# service rawdevices stop
# service rawdevices start


change owner to oracle
# chown oracle:oinstall /dev/dev/raw*
# chmod 640 /dev/raw/raw*

Step 3- Add disk by /etc/init.d/oracleasm create disk
Step 4- Add in CSS ( # $ORACLE_HOME/bin/localconfig add).
Step 5- Verify disk: /etc/init.d/oracleasm scandisks

Are my steps right?
And I do not know how to do continue after step 5.

May you help me?
Thank you very much!

I don't see any reason these images are not text.
The text in the images are too hard to read, repost with text in post.

Dear Michel!

First, thank you for your reply.
Second, let me do a brief in text.

My purpose is:
+ Adding disk to one diskgroup exists.

Question: Why do I add disk?
Answer: Because the exists diskgroup was small.
Question: How about diskgroup size?
Answer:
- I have got 6 disks, one disk as one rawdevices, per rawdevices was 17gb.

The total diskgroup was 137382Mb.

Question: How will I do to add rawdevice to exists disk?
Answer: I follow this tasks.

Step 1: Adding partitions in storage.
root@cloudsme sysconfig]# fdisk /dev/cciss/c0d1

The number of cylinders for this disk is set to 109434.
There is nothing wrong with that, but this is larger than 1024,
and could in certain setups cause problems with:
1) software that runs at boot time (e.g., old versions of LILO)
2) booting and partitioning software from other OSs
   (e.g., DOS FDISK, OS/2 FDISK)

Command (m for help): 


Step 2: After I create 6 partitions, 100gb per, I will add in /etc/sysconfig/rawdevice as:
[root@cloudsme sysconfig]# cat rawdevices
# raw device bindings
# format:  <rawdev> <major> <minor>
#          <rawdev> <blockdev>
# example: /dev/raw/raw1 /dev/sda1
#          /dev/raw/raw2 8 5
/dev/raw/raw1 /dev/cciss/c0d0p8           
/dev/raw/raw2 /dev/cciss/c0d0p9

/dev/raw/raw11 /dev/cciss/c0d1p13
/dev/raw/raw12 /dev/cciss/c0d1p14


Step 3: Restart service rawdevices
Before restart service rawdevices, do I need to shutdown database and ASM instance?
# service rawdevice restart


Step 4: Change owner
# chown oracle:dba /dev/raw/raw*
# chmod 600 /dev/raw/raw*


Step 5: Add disk:
# oracleasm createdisk DATA7 /dev/cciss/c0d1p9
# oracleasm createdisk DATA8 /dev/cciss/c0d1p10
# oracleasm createdisk DATA9 /dev/cciss/c0d1p11
# oracleasm createdisk DATA10 /dev/cciss/c0d1p12
# oracleasm createdisk DATA11 /dev/cciss/c0d1p13
# oracleasm createdisk DATA12 /dev/cciss/c0d1p14

# oracleasm listdisks


Step 6: Add information to CSS
# ./localconfig add


And, please help me to verify:
- My tasks list are right?
- What will I do next?

Thank you very much!

Well, I try to do it in a test machine, then I briefed now.

1- Create some partitions
[root@ttud bin]# fdisk -l /dev/hda

Disk /dev/hda: 320.0 GB, 320072933376 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 38913 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes

   Device Boot      Start         End      Blocks   Id  System
/dev/hda1   *           1          64      514048+  83  Linux
/dev/hda2              65        7713    61440592+  83  Linux
/dev/hda3            7714       12812    40957717+  83  Linux
/dev/hda4           12813       38913   209656282+   5  Extended
/dev/hda5           12813       13959     9213246   83  Linux
/dev/hda6           13960       15106     9213246   83  Linux
/dev/hda7           15107       16253     9213246   83  Linux
/dev/hda8           16254       17018     6144831   83  Linux
/dev/hda9           17019       17528     4096543+  82  Linux swap / Solaris
/dev/hda10          17529       20933    27350631   83  Linux
/dev/hda11          20934       24338    27350631   83  Linux
/dev/hda12          24339       27743    27350631   83  Linux
/dev/hda13          27744       31148    27350631   83  Linux
/dev/hda14          31149       32608    11727418+  83  Linux
/dev/hda15          32609       34068    11727418+  83  Linux
[root@ttud bin]#


2 new partitions will be created /dev/hda14 & /dev/hda15, per partition was 12gb.

2- Add in /etc/sysconfig/rawdevices
[root@ttud bin]# cat /etc/sysconfig/rawdevices
# raw device bindings
# format:  <rawdev> <major> <minor>
#          <rawdev> <blockdev>
# example: /dev/raw/raw1 /dev/sda1
#          /dev/raw/raw2 8 5
/dev/raw/raw1   /dev/hda10
/dev/raw/raw2   /dev/hda11
/dev/raw/raw3   /dev/hda12
/dev/raw/raw4   /dev/hda13
/dev/raw/raw5   /dev/hda14
/dev/raw/raw6   /dev/hda15


3- Change owner to oracle, restart service to bind rawdevice
# chown oracle:dba /dev/raw/raw*
# chmod 640 /dev/raw/raw*
# service rawdevices restart


Note: I restart rawdevice service without shutting down ASM instance or Database.

4- Binding disk
[root@ttud sysconfig]# oracleasm createdisk DATA5
Usage: oracleasm-createdisk [-l <manager>] [-v] <label> <device>
[root@ttud sysconfig]# oracleasm createdisk DATA5 /dev/hda14
Writing disk header: done

OKie!
Thank you for your looking.

I am a newbie to ASM, I often work with tuning data, tuning sql, and I'd got a few time to configure, installation or building. So, may I ask something ASM:

1- What is the FAIL_DISK_GROUP? What does it do?
2- How the ASM mirrors between 2 controller in Normal redundancy?
3- In document, I see the example:
SQL> ALTER DISKGROUP testdb_data1 ADD
  2  FAILGROUP controller1 DISK '/dev/raw/raw5'
  3  FAILGROUP controller2 DISK '/dev/raw/raw6' REBALANCE POWER 11;

Diskgroup altered.


What is the "REBALANCE POWER 11"?

Thank you!

It indicates to ASM how many processes it will use to rebalance the blocks all over the disks including the new ones.

Michel!
Wish the best day to you!

In the document's example which issue the fail_group by "controller1". But, in my test machine (I create normal redundancy), when the re-balance operation finished, I found 2 CANDIDATE in ASM right now. Please explain to me:
$ sqlplus / as sysdba
