Reference summary of asmcmd commands

asmcmd is a various nice feature of ASM.It helps us understand and do things from command line itself.I find this utility very useful.Thanks to Oracle again for making things easy.

Reference summary of asmcmd commands:

cd Changes the current directory to the specified directory.

du Displays the total disk space occupied by ASM files in the
specified ASM directory and all its subdirectories, recursively.

exit Exits ASMCMD.

find Lists the paths of all occurrences of the specified name (with
wildcards) under the specified directory.

help Displays the syntax and description of ASMCMD commands.

ls Lists the contents of an ASM directory, the attributes of the
specified file, or the names and attributes of all disk groups.

lsct Lists information about current ASM clients.

lsdg Lists all disk groups and their attributes.

mkalias Creates an alias for a system-generated filename.

mkdir Creates ASM directory.

pwd Displays the path of the current ASM directory.

rm Deletes the specified ASM files or directories.

rmalias Deletes the specified alias, retaining the file that the alias points to.

asm.sh, a Linux shell script, that demonstrates some of the asmcmd functionality.

lsct :list all connected Oracle instances
