Monitoring Disk Group Space Usage

Using Oracle Enterprise Manager, you can monitor the total capacity of your disk groups, including the amount of unused space and the amount of unused space that can be safely utilized after taking mirroring into account.

To view Oracle Automatic Storage Management (Oracle ASM) disk group usage and free space:

  1. Go to the Oracle ASM Home page.

    See "Accessing the Oracle Automatic Storage Management Home Page".

  2. Click Disk Groups to view the Disk Groups subpage.

  3. If the Oracle ASM Login page appears, then log in as the SYS user, connecting as SYSASM. Provide the SYS password that was set when the Oracle ASM instance was created.

The Disk Groups subpage displays all disk groups with their space usage information.

Note: The Usable Free column displays the space in gigabytes (GB) that is actually available in the disk group. It takes into account the redundancy level of the disk group, and excludes the space that the disk group reserves for restoring full redundancy for all files in the disk group after a disk failure.
