In case you want to fire up an Oracle 19c ASM instance on your CentOS\/RHEL 8.2, you have a few possibilities. E.g. you could use the asmlib driver or you can create your udev rules your own. (There might be some more possibilites, but these are out of scope for this blog post)<\/p>\n
Creating your own udev rules has the great advantage of eliminating another software layer. ASM itself is complex enough, and from my point of view, you want to get rid of as many complexity layers as possible, and asmlib is one of those.<\/p>\n
In my setup, I do have 7 virtual NVME disks. 3 will be assigned to the +DATA diskgroup and 4 will be assigned to the +FRA diskgroup.<\/p>\n
To create these Oracle ASM disks, you simply need to follow 3 steps:<\/p>\n
Lets start by identifying the disks ID_WWN which is the identifier world wide name. E.g. for the disk \/dev\/nvme0n1 it will be ID_WWN=eui.2ead9d23bd90e943aa6aa5722ee688dd<\/p>\n

Depending on your setup, you might need to adjust the GROUP or the OWNER.<\/p>\n
