Add ASM DG
In this blog entry is described adding a set of new LUNs to the SCST SAN for presentation to a KVM Oracle guest to provision a new Oracle ASM diskgroup on that guest.
Create Files for LUNs
In this example, 8 new 2Gb files for file-backed SCST LUNs are created. Eight files are created to follow the Violin Memory best practice on flash for creating Oracle ASM diskgroups with 8 LUNs. The size of 2Gb is chosen because a minimum of 15Gb total space is needed for the installation of the SLOB2 tablespace as described here at the flashdba blog as shown below.
[root@oracle651 scst_oracle632]# dd if=/dev/zero of=/scst_oracle632/AsmSlb632_01.img bs=2048 count=0 seek=1M
0+0 records in
0+0 records out
0 bytes (0 B) copied, 0.00052062 s, 0.0 kB/s
[root@oracle651 scst_oracle632]#
Use the same command, or script it to run iteratively, to create a total of eight 2Gb files for file-backed LUNs. When done check that they have all been created as shown below.
[root@oracle651 scst_oracle631]# ls -l AsmSlb*

Add LUNs to SCST SAN
Create a script to open the new files as file-backed LUN devices, and to add them to the SAN. The script used is shown below.
