Re: ASM Record Deletions

ASM will see all disks that match asm_disk_string init.ora parameter of ASM. On all nodes. So you can use this parameter to control which disks every node sees.

Now, you can mount or unmoung diskgroup using ALTER DISKGROUP <dg> MOUNT/DISMOUNT; ASM_DISKGROUPS init.ora parameter controls which disk groups are mounted at startup. It also used to mount umount disks using ALTER DISKGROUP ALL MOUNT/DISMOUNT. Note that ALTER DISKGROUP <dg> MOUNT/DISMOUNT with specific diskgroup name modifies this parameter in spfile if you have one.

Now regarding CSS. In my understanding it has nothing to do with association of diskgroup to ASM instance. As I mentioned this is controlled by you or ASM instance at startup base on init.ora parameter ASM_DISKGROUPS. What CSS is tracking is association between database instance and ASM instance that it's connected to.

If you have the link to the presentation - please share. I would like to see it - maybe my understanding is incorrect.
