You should now see the ASMCMD prompt:
ASMCMD [+]>
The
-p
option will set your prompt to display the current working directory as part of the prompt. For example,
the ASMCMD prompt changes as we use the
cd
command to change the current directory:
ASMCMD [+] > cd +data/prmy/datafile
ASMCMD [+data/prmy/datafile] >
