Getting Ready for ASM Disks in VMWare Workstation – Part 1

In this Post i will be discussing about how to create disks for ASM. As a first Step we need to add 3 Disks to our Current Virtual Machine.

Here we will be using 3 Disks. 1 – 20 GB for Data, 2 – 10 GB for Logs and 3- for CRS information that will store Grid Information.

So below is step by step, Click on Edit virtual machine settings:

We already have 2 disks assigned to this VM. 60 GB and 40 GB.

Click Add and Select Hard Disk and Press Next:

Select SCSI and Press Next:

Select the first option and Press Next:

Give the space 20GB, you can configure more if you want to:

Press Next. default name for disk will come up, click on Finish.

No we have 1 More Disk added of space 20 GB, See below:

Same like above create 2 more Disk of Space 10 GB and 500 MB. Configuration will look like below:

Finally we have 3 Disks added.

In the Next Post we will be moving forward for the next step which will be required for the ASM Setup.
