ORACLEASM(8) Oracle ASM Support Manual ORACLEASM(8)NAMEoracleasm - Support software for the Oracle ASM Generic Library
SYNOPSISoracleasm [--exec-path=<exec_path>] <command> [ <args> ]
oracleasm--exec-path
oracleasm-h
oracleasm-V
DESCRIPTIONoracleasm support is a set of programs for image management. These
tools manage resources available to the Linux implementation of the
Automatic Storage Management library.
This manual page documents the oracleasm front-end program used to
access all of the underlying operations.
The /etc/init.d/oracleasm script is deprecated. See the
oracleasm.init(8) manual page.
The COMMAND is the name of an oracleasm command (see below).
OPTIONS--version
Prints the version of the oracleasm program.
--help
Prints the synopsis and a list of the most commonly used commands.
If an oracleasm command is named, this option will bring up the
usage for that command. If the option --all or -a is given then all
available commands are printed.
--exec-path
Path to wherever your core oracleasm support programs are
installed. This can also be controlled by setting the
ORACLEASM_EXEC_PATH environment variable. If no path is given,
oracleasm will print the current setting and then exit.
ORACLEASM COMMANDS
The oracleasm support programs can be divided into high-level commands
and low-level commands. The high-level commands are the actual programs
a user will use. The low-level commands are used by the high-level
commands. This manpage is concerned with the high-level commands.
The commands are documented under the combined name of
oracleasm-<command>. They are executed as an argument to the oracleasm
program. Thus, oracleasm-configure(8) is executed as:
oracleasm configure
