This is in an Linux environment.
On an Oracle ASM standalone database if I do the following :
1 shutdown immediate (Oracle and ASM)
2 de-install the Oracle Software, save a copy of the spfile/pfile and password files, including those of ASM's.
3 re-install the Oracle software on the same box, skip the Create DB step.
4 Copy the saved spfile/pfile and password files to the proper location in newly installed Oracle software
5 Q1. At this point would I be able to Startup the ASM and Oracle database that was shutdown earlier ?
Q2. Are there any O/S registries that one needs to set also like those in Windows environment (ORADIM) ?
Q3. What about the DBID ? Any changes required in that ?
Q4. What are the ASM config files that I need to save along with the spfile/pfile and password files of the database ?
Thank you

Hi Sandeep
Yes, I shall de-install the ASM software/binaries too, whether ASM and Oracle Home are same or different.
Basically, I want to leave the database (and its ASM configs) intact, and re-install all the binaries and be able to startup the ASM and the database.
Our ASM database resides on a storage array. The Oracle and ASM Home binaries on a local server. In our case, we want to rebuild the local server (without touching the database).
I have done this before in a Windows environment, non-ASM.
I know one can use RMAN backup and restore, but I do not want to go through that route.
Thanks
