Storage level snapshot are an incredibly fast and space efficient method to create usable clones of an Oracle database. In this post we’ll create a storage-level snapshot of a Oracle database using a Dell Powerstore storage array. Our database spans two ASM diskgroups, and will be mounted to a second server.

Create ASM diskgroups with Dell Powerstore
I recently got an opportunity to do some testing with a Dell Powerstore 5000T all-flash storage array, so I thought I would share some of the notes I made during my testing, for the benefit of any DBAs who might be using one to deliver ASM disks to their Oracle databases.
This will be part of a series of posts that focus on the management of Oracle and ASM with Powerstore, so consider this post as a foundational topic. Nothing especially earth shattering, but some solid points nonetheless.
