Oracle 11.2 default instance volume is 50 GiB - How can I increase size?

Question

Hi,
I created an ebs Oracle 11.2 instance that defaulted to a volume size of 50GiB.
Does anyone know how to increase the volume size to 300GiB?
This didn't work:
I created another volume (300Gib), attached it to the instance, mounted the drive, but when I ran the Oracle install script - that drive didn't show up:
Select a disk device to store your datafiles and redo logs on:
ID DEVICE_NAME
[0] Refresh List
[1] Use Default
[2] /dev/sdc1
Thanks.

I didnt have any luck with the scripts it comes with the AMI so I just cut and paste of what I need heres the script I use.
You can mount the 300G to /u02 or whatever you want
and change the ORACLE_SID to <YOUR_SID_NAME>
Also you have to run it as user oracle instead of Root
and make sure that the ORACLE_HOME is correct
