OCM 12c Preparation - Create ASM disk groups

Creating ASM disk groups is a easy task. You have several ways of doing it, like:

  • asmca (Preferable)
  • sqlplus
  • asmcmd
  • Enterprise Manager (Yes, don’t forget him!)

Even though not said, I would also practice altering / dropping / renaming and playing with rebalace power on diskgroups using all the tools.

one very important thing is to keep in mind the many disk attributes that can be set like:

  • Stripping Clauses
  • Disk Hot / Cold Region Clauses
  • Compatible attributes
  • content.type

Practice all of them.
