In V$ASM_DISKGROUP have a column named required_mirror_free_mb.
My question is :
1. what's required mirror ?
2. why asm reserve mirror space ?
3. how Oracle Automatic Storage Management (ASM) calculates the REQUIRED_MIRROR_FREE_MB ?

The calculation is derived from the size of your failgroups (by default, each disc is a failgroup) and your redundancy settings. It represents the space needed to re-establish mirrors if a device is lost.

From this article : http://joordsblog.vandenoord.eu/2011/05/asm-required-mirror-free-space-to.html
it said that REQUIRED_MIRROR_FREE_MB depends on the redundancy level and the number of failure groups in the disk group. like the following:
● Normal redundancy disk groups with at least three failure groups require an amount of free space that is equal to the size of a single failure group. Normal redundancy disk groups with only two failure groups require an amount of free space that is equal to the size of a single disk.
● High redundancy disk groups with at least four failure groups require an amount of free space that is equal to the sum of the size of two failure groups. High redundancy disk groups with only three failure groups require an amount of free space that is equal to the sum of the size of two disks.
i'm so confused about the above conclusion , who can explain it for me clearly ?
why when it is Normal redundancy disk groups with at least three failure groups , REQUIRED_MIRROR_FREE_MB is equal to the size of a single failure group , not the size of 2 failure groups.
why when it is Normal redundancy disk groups with only two failure groups ,REQUIRED_MIRROR_FREE_MB is equal to the size of a single disk. , not the size of 2 disks or 3 disks and so on .
