I am starting to investigate ASM as a part of a potential 8.1.7.4 to 10g upgrade on Solaris (SunOs 5.9). Oracle's documentation seems to have a bias toward having the ASM instance handle the mirroring while our UNIX support people would prefer to do it at the hardware level. Which is preferable and what factors would push a decision in one direction or the other?

Thanks,
Peter Schauss
