Changing the rebalance power on the fly ALTER DISKGROUP DG1 REBALANCE POWER 5; for drop disk asm_power_limit Step 3: Dropping Disks from Disk Groups To drop disks from a disk group, use the DROP DISK clause of the ALTER DISKGROUP statement. When a disk is dropped, the disk group is rebalanced by moving all of the file e xtents from the dropped disk to other disks in the disk group. A drop disk opera tion might fail if not enough space is available on the other disks. The best approach is to perform both the add and drop operation with the same AL TER DISKGROUP statement. This has the benefit of rebalancing data extents only o ne time and ensuring that there is enough space for the rebalance operation to s ucceed. The ALTER DISKGROUP...DROP DISK SQL statement returns to SQL prompt before the rop and rebalance operations are complete. Do not reuse, remove, or disconnect he dropped disk until the HEADER_STATUS column for this disk in the V$ASM_DISK iew changes to FORMER. You can query the V$ASM_OPERATION view to determine the mount of time remaining for the drop/rebalance operation to complete. d t v a
