<\/p>\n
We can use the Oracle ASM configuration assistant (asmca) tool via the GUI, or from the command line. In other words, we can run asmcma in slient mode(command line).<\/p>\n
We can run asmcma in slient mode as follows:<\/strong><\/p>\n
asmca -silent command_name [options]<\/pre>\n
The commands that are valid in silent mode are:<\/strong><\/p>\n
\n
-convertToFlexASM<\/li>\n
-configureASM<\/li>\n
-upgradeASM<\/li>\n
-configureParameter<\/li>\n
-deleteASM<\/li>\n
-createDiskGroup<\/li>\n
-addDisk<\/li>\n
-createVolume<\/li>\n
-createACFS<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
The options that are valid in silent mode are:<\/strong><\/p>\n
\n
-help<\/li>\n
-asmsnmpPassword asmsnmp_password<\/li>\n
-sysAsmPassword sysasm_password<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
You can reach the detailed information about the use of Asmca by running it with -help option.<\/p>\n
