How do I combine 2 ASM diskgroups?
I inherited an Oracle 11gr2 RAC Database running on Windows that has two ASM groups that really should only be one. There is a +DATA diskgroup and also a +DATA01 diskgroup. And both of these DGs have inconsistent LUN sizes. I have found out that the second DG was created when the previous DBA had trouble adding a new LUN to the existing DG. Not sure of the details - it is what it is. The first task that I am going to tackle is getting the LUN sizes consistent across each diskgroup, and that shouldn't be an issue.
However, I really would like to have only one +DATA DG. Is there a way to combine these 2 DGs? I would even be okay with a third name as long as both +DATA and +DATA01 could be combined to form the new DG.
