Hi Fabrizio,



When runInstaller ask for select candidate disks, there is a buttom to change where to look at. If I specify '/dev/sd*' to try to use block devices the list is empty. If I specify '/dev/*' the list has two lines: /dev/random and /dev/null.



Perhaps I must specify ASM_DISKSTRING before to lunch runInstaller.

Ho Jorge,
where are you looking at when trying to discover the device?

Pay attention the the SM config parameter: ASM_DISKSTRING.

Hello again.



Now I'm trying to configure ASM in my VMware 2 nodes 10g RAC. Is it possible to use block devices for ASM without installing asmlib? I can't get runInstaller sees any block device.



SLES 10 x86_64

RAC and Database 10.2.0.1

Vmware Server 1.0.1



Thank you
