环境描述
添加三块硬盘,用来做ASM磁盘组:

三块磁盘最好一样大, 不一样大在做冗余时容易导致热点竞争,增大磁盘的I/O,影响性能。
重启一下系统,格式磁盘

启动系统后fdisk -l查看加载的磁盘,fdisk /dev/sdb对sdb进行格式化
[root@localhost ~]# fdisk /dev/sdb
Device contains neither a valid DOS partition table, nor Sun, SGI or OSF disklabel
Building a new DOS disklabel. Changes will remain in memory only,
until you decide to write them. After that, of course, the previous
content won't be recoverable.
The number of cylinders for this disk is set to 1044.
There is nothing wrong with that, but this is larger than 1024,
and could in certain setups cause problems with:
1) software that runs at boot time (e.g., old versions of LILO)
2) booting and partitioning software from other OSs
(e.g., DOS FDISK, OS/2 FDISK)
Warning: invalid flag 0x0000 of partition table 4 will be corrected by w(rite)

[root@localhost ~]# fdisk /dev/sdc
[root@localhost ~]# fdisk /dev/sdd
[root@localhost ~]# fdisk -l
看到如下信息 sdb、sbc、sdd三块磁盘将用来做ASM磁盘组
