Steps to add ASM disk:

1. From inside ASM, show Disk Groups

SQL> select * from v$asm_diskgroup;
2. From inside ASM, show Disks and their Disk Group assignments
SQL> select path, name, REDUNDANCY, TOTAL_MB, FREE_MB, DISK_NUMBER, GROUP_NUMB
ER, state
from V$ASM_DISK;
3. From OS as root, show current ASM Disks
# /etc/init.d/oracleasm listdisks | xargs /etc/init.d/oracleasm querydisk -p
4. From OS as root, show available disks
# fdisk -l (fdisk -l | grep Disk)
5. Compare output from "oracleasm listdisks ..." and fdisk -l
Do not re-use disks already in use.
6. Use either fdisk (or parted) to create a single whole-disk partition on the d
isk devices
Run as root
# /sbin/fdisk <disk>
(Example: /sbin/fdisk /dev/sda )
-> n
new partition
-> p
primary
-> 1
partition number
-> use defaults for First cylinder and Last cylinder questions
-> w
write partition info and quit
NOTE: It is likely that only this node will know of the new disk partitionin
g.
Other nodes will not "see" the partitioning until the partition table is r
eread.
"oracleasm scandisks" (performed below) will force other nodes to read the
partition table.
7. As root, mark new, available disks for use by ASM (on one node)
# oracleasm createdisk <NEW_ASM_DISK_NAME> <disk>1
Examples:
# oracleasm createdisk DISK4 /dev/sda1
# oracleasm createdisk DISK5 /dev/sdd1
8. As root, make disks available on other nodes. Enter the following command as
root on every node.
# oracleasm scandisks
9. Again, from OS as root, show current ASM Disks (run on every node, should se
e new disks)
# /etc/init.d/oracleasm listdisks | xargs /etc/init.d/oracleasm querydisk -p
10. Change permissions so oracle can query the disks (may already be set properl
y)
# cd /dev/oracleasm/disks
# chown oracle:oinstall DISK1
(already owned by oracle:oinstall - step
not needed)
# chown oracle:oinstall DISK2
(already owned by oracle:oinstall - step
not needed)
# chmod ug+rw DISK1
(permissions same as other ASM disks - st
ep not needed)
# chmod ug+rw DISK2
(permissions same as other ASM disks - st
ep not needed)
# chown oracle:oinstall /dev/sda1
(? - skipping this step)
# chown oracle:oinstall /dev/sdb1
(? - skipping this step)
# chmod ug+rw /dev/sda1
(? - skipping this step)
# chmod ug+rw /dev/sdb1
(? - skipping this step)
11. Verify oracle can see ASM disks
Login as oracle
# /etc/init.d/oracleasm listdisks | xargs /etc/init.d/oracleasm querydisk -p
12. Add Disk to Disk Group.
Login to ASM as SYSASM (sqlplus / as sysasm)
Example add disk command:

SQL> alter diskgroup DATA add disk 'ORCL:DISK4' name DISK4;

13. From inside ASM, show Disks and their Disk Group assignments
SQL> select path, name, REDUNDANCY, TOTAL_MB, FREE_MB, DISK_NUMBER, GROUP_NUMB
ER, state
from V$ASM_DISK;
