Starting
12.1.0.2 we can use ASM Filter Drive (ASMFD) to create ASM disks to be used for
ASM diskgroups. I have already explain in this article that how we configure ASMFD during
GI installation, and this article for migration from ASMLib to ASMFD. In this article I will show you
how to create/add new ASM disks using ASMFD so that we can use them for
existing or new diskgroups.

ASMCMD-9524: AFD configuration failed 'ERROR: ASMLib deconfiguration failed'
While configuring
ASMFD (ASM Filer Driver), I was playing around and started facing this
error after issuing “afd_configure” command
[root@salman11 ~]#
/u01/app/12.2.0/grid/bin/asmcmd afd_configure
ASMCMD-9524: AFD configuration failed
'ERROR: ASMLib deconfiguration failed'
|
I simply stopped
oracleasm and acfsload service and after that reissued the “afd_configure” command,
and it started working fine.
Point to note is that we need to stop oracleasm and acfsload before configuring ASMFD using “afd_configure”.

Migrating from ASMLib to Oracle ASM Filter Driver (ASMFD)
Starting 12.1.0.2, ASMFD can be used
instead of ASMLib for the ASM disks management. In this article I will explain
how to migrate from ASMLib to ASMFD. I already have ASMLib configured on my
server and I want to move to using ASMFD. For
new GI installation, we can configure ASMFD for our ASM disks from GI
installation wizard. Method explained here works for both standalone GI installations
as well as for RAC.
