ORACLEASM(8)		   Oracle ASM Support Manual		  ORACLEASM(8)

NAME
       oracleasm - Support software for the Oracle ASM Generic Library

SYNOPSIS
	   oracleasm [--exec-path=<exec_path>] <command> [ <args> ]
	   oracleasm --exec-path
	   oracleasm -h
	   oracleasm -V

DESCRIPTION
       oracleasm 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

   Configuration Commands
       oracleasm-configure(8)
	   Configure properties of the Oracle Linux ASMLib driver

       oracleasm-init(8)

       oracleasm-exit(8)
	   Stop the ASMLib driver

       oracleasm-scandisks(8)
	   Scan the system for Oracle ASMLib disks

       oracleasm-update-driver(8)
	   Download the latest ASMLib driver

   Query Commands
       oracleasm-status(8)
	   Display the status of the Oracle ASMLib driver

       oracleasm-listdisks(8)
	   List known Oracle ASMLib disks

       oracleasm-querydisk(8)
	   Determine if a disk belongs to Oracle ASMLib

   Disk Management Commands
       oracleasm-createdisk(8)
	   Allocate a device for Oracle ASMLib use

       oracleasm-deletedisk(8)
	   Return a device to the operating system
