srvctl add asm

Adds a record for an Oracle ASM instance to the entire cluster. This command must be run only one time from the Oracle Grid Infrastructure home.

Note:

  • You can only use this command and the parameters described with Oracle Clusterware.

  • To manage Oracle ASM on Oracle Database 12c installations, use the SRVCTL binary in the Oracle Grid Infrastructure home for a cluster (Grid home). If you have Oracle RAC or Oracle Database installed, then you cannot use the SRVCTL binary in the database home to manage Oracle ASM.
