Use files in place of real disc for asm
Hi

I was trying to create files to be used as discs for asm configuration. I used the following steps
Code:
mkdir -p /u02/asmdisks

dd if=/dev/zero of=/u02/asmdisks/disk0 bs=1024k count=1000
dd if=/dev/zero of=/u02/asmdisks/disk1 bs=1024k count=1000

chown -R oracle:dba /u02/asmdisks

chmod -R 777 /u02/asmdisks

lofiadm -a /u02/asmdisks/disk0 /dev/lofi/1
lofiadm -a /u02/asmdisks/disk1 /dev/lofi/2

--To make node i used

mknod /u02/asmdisks/disk0 c 147 1
mknod: File exists

I got File exist. I wanna get ride of this message and potentially wanted to use above mknod comman

Kindly help me,

Ok. I found the problem. actually i was making the file with the same name.

You could also use "ls -L" to get the major and minor file numbers for your mknod args.
