Hello,



despite all data and stats IMHO ASM sucks. ASM is an additional layer,
managed through an Oracle instance to manage files in a strange manner.I've
never seen a big oracle installation, for example in a TLC environment where
I work using ASM. All tests over ASM usually fails. Actually use of pure raw
devices should be preferable, better if using 8gbit fiber instead iscsi on a
1gb ethernet. Yes, managing raw devices is not easy and usually is not a DBA
work. Also, type of storage is really important.
