Diving off in yet another direction ...

Do any of you out there expect your Sys Admins or Storage Admins to grow database space for you, without you asking for it first?

My experience has generally been that filesystem monitoring gets bounced to a DBA if the filesystem is /oracle/*

Cheers,
Duncan.

BTW, operationally, this is exactly why a lot of sophisticated, large shops are abstaining from ASM due to the black-box it poses to storage admins. Yes, I know the storage admins ***could*** connect to a server where there is an instance running and get their environment set and run asmcmd to see space used, but storage admins provision space and connectivity to many varying applications and the very thought of connecting to an application (if it is up) to get space available information is just bizarre to many. Monitoring application space availability the way it has been done for decades seems to be a habit hard to shake. The filesystem is running low, add space to the underlying volume and let the filesystem grow. Quick peek, quick action, standardized action/reaction for all apps. Makes sense. Life is an unending series of choices.
