Modifying Voting Files that are Stored in Oracle ASM

  • To display the voting file FUID and file path of each current voting file, run the crsctl query css votedisk command to display output similar to the following:

    $ crsctl query css votedisk
    --  -----    -----------------                --------- ---------
    ##  STATE    File Universal Id                File Name Disk group
     1. ONLINE   6f57843d89464c46ea747362e8a3fa43 (/dev/sdb1) [DATA]
     2. ONLINE   7c54856e98474f61bf349401e7c9fb95 (/dev/sdc1) [DATA]
     3. ONLINE   9c46232b76234f61fc934673d5c8ec59 (/dev/sdd1) [DATA]
    

    This command returns a disk sequence number, the status of the disk, the FUID, the path of the disk, and the name of the Oracle ASM disk group on which the disk is stored.

  • To migrate voting files from Oracle ASM to an alternative storage device, specify the path to the non-Oracle ASM storage device with which you want to replace the Oracle ASM disk group using the following command:

    $ crsctl replace votedisk path_to_voting_disk
    

    You can run this command on any node in the cluster.

  • To replace all voting files not stored in Oracle ASM with voting files managed by Oracle ASM in an Oracle ASM disk group, run the following command:

    $ crsctl replace votedisk +asm_disk_group
