Gopal,
This is from the the ASM Best Practices Document on OTN. See page 12 of 39, under diskgroups and databases:
.
To reduce the complexity of managing asm and its diskgroups, Oracle Recommends that generally no more than two diskgroups be maintained and managed per RAC cluster or single ASM Instance.
.
That said, I didn't mean to imply its not supported or not possible - I, only, inferred this from the above.
That said, I proceeded to test the install, with the details below - and its all good - works fine (so far).
Thanks
Naqi

Naqi,
Which document you are talking about? We never say 'no more than 2
disk groups per cluster'.
Btw your initial plan seems perfect.
