# /etc/init.d/oracleasm scandisks

#/etc/init.d/oracleasm createdisk DISK_NAME PARTITION_NAME
# /etc/init.d/oracleasm createdisk data /dev/sdc1

Remove the ASM disk

#/etc/init.d/oracleasm deletedisk DISK_NAME PARTITION_NAME
# /etc/init.d/oracleasm deletedisk data /dev/sdc1

Start and stop the asm

-- Start the asm
#/etc/init.d/oracleasm start

-- Stop the asm
#/etc/init.d/oracleasm stop

-- Restart the asm
#/etc/init.d/oracleasm restart

Check the status of ASM

#/etc/init.d/oracleasm status

Enable or disable the ASM

-- Enable the ASM
#/etc/init.d/oracleasm enable

-- Disable the ASM
#/etc/init.d/oracleasm disable

Check configuration

/etc/init.d/oracleasm configure

Query to disk for more information

#/etc/init.d/oracleasm querydisk DISK_NAME
#/etc/init.d/oracleasm querydisk -d LABEL
#/etc/init.d/oracleasm querydisk /dev/sdc6
#/etc/init.d/oracleasm querydisk -d VOL6
#/etc/init.d/oracleasm querydisk -p VOL1

Rename the ASM Disk

#/etc/init.d/oracleasm renamedisk PARTITION_NAME DISK_NAME
#/etc/init.d/oracleasm renamedisk /dev/sdc1 VOL2

Delete the ASM disk

#/etc/init.d/oracleasm deletedisk DISK_NAME
#/etc/init.d/oracleasm deletedisk /dev/sdc2
