Discovery of newly added disk in ASM without bounce

[lyx...@gmail.com]

Hi,

Is there any way to add/discover new disk to ASM instance while
instance is running.

I needed more space for some DG and there were no disk available to my
Server. I asked my
Sys Admin and he added new Disks/partition/LUN to my server.

I created new VOL_9 using oracleasm createdisk Vol_9 -

but I can not use this vol_9 until ASM discover this, And I knew only
option to restart the ASM instance only then you would find this in v
$asm_disk ..

Is there any way to get this disk discovered by ASM instance without
bounce.

Regards,
Lyxx

I believe if you log into asm as sysdba and just run a query on
v$disk_groups; (check reference manual or exact table name) It will find the
new slice.(it doesn't hurt anything to do that.)

Thanks for your reply Jim,

Actually, I was looking to add new Disks to ASM instance without
restart the instance.

Correct. I believe that will get the ASM instance to recognize that the
disks are there without restarting the ASM instance. The act of doing the
query causes the scan for new disks, it scans all the paths.
