[oracle@rac20 ~]$ cd /u01/app/12.1.0.1/grid/bin/

[oracle@rac20 bin]$ ./asmca

Make sure external is clicked and pick disk 3 as shown below. I will name the diskgroup as FLASH.

Click "OK" to create this diskgroup.

 

Click "OK"

Now add disk to data disk group. Right click on DATA disk group and click "Add Disks".

Pick disk 4 and click "OK".

Click "OK"

Click "Close".

Now start "dbca" as :

[oracle@rac20 bin]$ cd /u01/app/oracle/product/12.1.0.1/bin/

[oracle@rac20 bin]$ ./dbca

Click "Create Database" and click "Next".

Then make sure ASM is selected
Datafiles location as "+DATA" and
"Fast Recovery Area" as "+FLASH"
Select database character set as:  AL32UTF8
Put your admin password and click "Next". If "Fast Recovery Area" is not "+FLASH" then select it by clicking "BROWSE" button.

Click "Yes".

Check all the warnings and these can be ignored and click next.

Click "Finish" and see the install go through.

Click "Exit".
