hello....am trying to install Oracle 11gR2 RAC on Solaris 11 using Oracle Virtualbox, am stucked somewhere when trying to assign disk to grid user......I created five disks of 5GB each for ASM, I formatted them successfully but when trying to assign them to grid user, there is no changes as still appear that root is the owner
--Here are my disks
# format
Searching for disks...done

I repeated same steps for the rest of the disks then as root user I changed the ownership to grid
chown grid:asmadmin /dev/rdsk/c1t1d0s0
chown grid:asmadmin /dev/rdsk/c1t2d0s0
chmod 660 /dev/rdsk/c1t1d0s0
chmod 660 /dev/rdsk/c1t2d0s0
---but when issued below command the disks still appear to be owned by root
ls -altr /dev/rdsk/c1t1d0s0
# ls -altr /dev/rdsk/c1t1d0s0
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 51 Dec 7 21:40 /dev/rdsk/c1t1d0s0 -> ../../devices/pci@0,0/pci8086,2829@d/disk@1,0:a,raw
