I wanted to use Oracle ASM for holding the database files in a single instance Oracle database, so I downloaded the oracle binaries from the oracle download site.
After downloading and unzipping aix.ppc64_11gR2_grid.zip into the home directory of user oracle, I unzipped it which created the grid directory with the binaries.
cd onto the grid directory and run the rootpre.sh script as root, after that run the runInstaller as user oracle.
As you see there are no candidate disks available. This is cause I had not done anything on the AIX host side to the volumes(LUNS) that I had presented from the V7000 Storage Array
I had created filesystems on the LUNs that were presented from the V7000 storage array to the AIX host.
This is how thing look currently:

I plan on unmounting the filesystems and using the LUNs to create ASM disk groups. So the first thing is to unmount all the file systems.
Next I did the following on the AIX host.

Then I pressed the Back button on the above screen, followed by Next. As shown in the screen shot below I now have the 3 volumes(LUNS) available to create ASM disk groups.
