Oracle 11g Release 2: SRVCTL commands PART 5 [DISKGROUP]

SRVCTL command for Diskgroup:

To add the diskgroup

• There is no command like srvctl add for Oracle ASM disk groups. Disk groups are automatically added to the Oracle Restart configuration when they are first mounted. 
• But if in case you have removed a disk group from the Oracle Restart configuration and want to add it back you can connect to the Oracle ASM instance with SQL*Plus and use an ALTER DISKGROUP ... MOUNT command.

To remove the diskgroup

• srvctl remove diskgroup -g diskgroup_name [-n node_list] [-f]
• srvctl remove diskgroup -g DiskGroup1 -f

To start the diskgroup

• srvctl start diskgroup -g diskgroup_name [-n node_list]
• srvctl start diskgroup -g diskgroup1 -n linuxrac01, linuxrac02

To stop the diskgroup

• srvctl stop diskgroup -g diskgroup_name [-n node_list] [-f]
• srvctl stop diskgroup -g ASM_DG02
• srvctl stop diskgroup -g diskgroup2 -n linuxrac01,linuxrac02 -f

To check the status of the diskgroup

• srvctl status diskgroup -g diskgroup_name [-n node_list] [-a]
• srvctl status diskgroup -g diskgroup2 -n linuxrac01,linuxrac02 -a

To enable the diskgroup

• srvctl enable diskgroup -g diskgroup_name [-n node_list]
• srvctl enable diskgroup -g diskgroup1 -n linuxrac01,linuxrac02

To disable the diskgroup

• srvctl disable diskgroup -g diskgroup_name [-n node_list]
• srvctl disable diskgroup -g diskgroup3 -n linuxrac01, linuxrac02

Keep watching.. Still other 3 to 4 parts of SRVCTL commands are yet to come.
