How to Add Disk in ASM Disk Group

We have raw disk /dev/sde which we are going add in existing Disk Group DATA.

[root@stage ~]# fdisk /dev/sde

Device contains neither a valid DOS partition table, nor Sun, SGI or OSF disklabel

Building a new DOS disklabel with disk identifier 0x185ef87e.

Changes will remain in memory only, until you decide to write them.

After that, of course, the previous content won't be recoverable.

Warning: invalid flag 0x0000 of partition table 4 will be corrected by w(rite)

WARNING: DOS-compatible mode is deprecated. It's strongly recommended to

switch off the mode (command 'c') and change display units to

sectors (command 'u').

Command (m for help): n

Command action

e extended

p primary partition (1-4)

Partition number (1-4): 1

First cylinder (1-8192, default 1):

Using default value 1

Last cylinder, +cylinders or +size{K,M,G} (1-8192, default 8192):

Using default value 8192

Command (m for help): w

The partition table has been altered!

Calling ioctl() to re-read partition table.

Syncing disks.
