Creates a file with default disk paths for all disks in the Automatic Storage Management (ASM) disk groups that are used to store online redo logs and archive redo logs. The disks required for online logs are automatically selected by querying ASM. The disks required for archive redo logs are specified by the archive log path parameter and are queried by ASM for the disks in the specified group. An entry for each disk in online redo log disk group and archive redo log disk group is added to the ASM disk map file. The default entry is the same path as the system path. The user must edit the file to change the map path to the mirror device.When pdb_asmdiskmap is executed and the ASM disk map file already exists, new disk paths are obtained from ASM and added to the file. In this case, new disk paths are added only when disks have been added to the ASM disk groups used by redo logs.
This command is available only for Oracle.
pdb_asmdiskmap
The disk map file is named <instance_name>_ASMDisks.props and is created in the Replication Agent instance directory.For example:
<install_root>\<instance> \<instance_name>_ASMDisks.props
If <install_root> is %SYBASE%\sybase\MA-15_5 the map file is created in:
%SYBASE%\sybase\MA-15_5\mra_ASMDisks.props
The Replication Agent uses the disk map file to identify the mirror log devices when log devices are created during transaction log initialization and when devices are updated using the ra_updatedevices command. When Replication Agent is in Replicating state, it reads data from the mirrored disks specified in the map file. For more detailed information, see the ra_updatedevices command.
