Backing Up and Recovering the Voting Disk

• In Oracle Clusterware 11g Release 2, voting disk data is backed up automatically in the OCR as part of any configuration change.
• Voting disk data is automatically restored to any added voting disks.
• To add or remove voting disks on non–Automatic Storage Management (ASM) storage, use the following commands:

    # crsctl delete css votedisk path_to_voting_disk

    # crsctl add css votedisk path_to_voting_disk

Note: You can migrate voting disks from non-ASM storage options to ASM without taking down the cluster. To use an ASM disk group to manage the voting disks, you must set the COMPATIBLE.ASM attribute to 11.2.0.0.
