Audience

Users must be a Senior Oracle DBA administrator who is comfortable setting up a baseline ASMFD environment.

Prerequisites

The following setup allows CTE to correctly load the guarded ASMFD disks correctly after CTE is installed, upgraded, or restarted:

1. Ensure that the ASM $ORACLE_BASE variable is assigned a value in /root/.bash_profile, if Oracle is already installed.

2. Ensure that a line starting with +ASM exists in the /etc/oratab.
