Migrating Oracle ASM Disk Groups without Oracle Cluster Registry or Voting Files

Follow this procedure to migrate Oracle ASM disk groups without Oracle Cluster Registry (OCR) or voting files to Oracle ASMFD.

  1. As the grid user, list the existing disk groups.
    $ $ORACLE_HOME/bin/asmcmd lsdg
  2. List the disks associated with each disk group.
    $ $ORACLE_HOME/bin/asmcmd lsdsk -G diskgroup
  3. Check if Oracle ASM is active.
    $ $ORACLE_HOME/bin/srvctl status asm
  4. Stop the databases and dismount the disk group on all nodes.
    $ $ORACLE_HOME/bin/srvctl stop diskgroup -diskgroup diskgroup -f
  5. Label all existing disks in the disk group by running the following command for each disk.
    $ $ORACLE_HOME/bin/asmcmd afd_label label disk_path --migrate
  6. Scan the disks on all cluster nodes.
    $ $ORACLE_HOME/bin/asmcmd afd_scan
  7. Start the databases and mount the disk group on all nodes.
    $ $ORACLE_HOME/bin/srvctl start diskgroup -diskgroup diskgroup
