ASM operation : Rename Diskgroup

Current status and quick overview

  • Step 1: dismount the DG TEST  
  • Step 2: Validate rename DG operation by running  remamedg  command with check  options ( non destructive ) :  verbose=true check=true
  • Step 3: Change DG name  without check options     :  verbose=true   –
  • Step 4: mount the new DG TEST2 
  • Step 5: Cleanup OCR and delete old  DG TEST
Note renaming a DG with CW related files ( voting disks, OCR ) needs additional steps 
  ( For details  see Book: The Essential Guide to Oracle Automatic Storage Management - Chapater 13 )
