Hi,

I attempted to deinstall ASMLIB, by following the procedure described on Grid Infrastructure Installation and Upgrade Guide for Linux, "Deinstalling Oracle ASMLIB On Oracle Grid Infrastructure" chapter( https://docs.oracle.com/en/database/oracle/oracle-database/19/cwlin/deinstalling-oracle-asmlib-on-oracle-grid-infrastructure.html#GUID-AAC3291D-BEAF-4567-A0A0-CA834C1A73EA )

As there is no grid infrastructure installed yet, so I went to step 3, which says to Stop Oracle ASMLIB using the '/etc/init.d/oracleasm disable' command.


When I ran the above command, I received the message "/etc/init.d/oracleasm is deprecated. Use 'oracleasm configure -d'"

By running "oracleasm configure -d" command, it retuned "Writing Oracle ASM library driver configuration: done"

By checking oracleasm status, it remains the same result before.

How do I know whether the OASMLIB is disabled or not? Can I proceed the step 4 to "Remove the oracleasm library and tools RPMs"?


Please find output details:
