Storage Foundation for Oracle® RAC 8.0.2 Configuration and Upgrade Guide - Linux

To verify Array Support Library (ASL)

1. If the Array Support Library (ASL) for the array that you add is not installed, obtain and install it on each node before proceeding.

   The ASL for the supported storage device that you add is available from the disk array vendor or Veritas technical support.

2. Verify that the ASL for the disk array is installed on each of the nodes. Run the following command on each node and examine the output to verify the installation of ASL.

   The following output is a sample:

   # vxddladm listsupport all

   LIBNAME                 VID                 PID

   libvxnvme_nonscsi.so    NVMe            All
   

3. Scan all disk drives and their attributes, update the VxVM device list, and reconfigure DMP with the new devices. Type:

   # vxdisk scandisks

   See the Veritas Volume Manager documentation for details on how to add and configure disks.
