Re: Oracle ASM and High Availability

There are ways to fix corrupt ASM disk headers (other than restoring a backup of the header) so no, it is not true that all the data would be lost if external redundancy disk header is lost.

However, this scenario is exactly why you would not use external redundancy of you are unable to protect the disks and the headers at the storage layer.

There are scenarios where you would have separate disk groups for each database but these would generally not be for protecting data, but segregating it for purposes of using storage snapshots.
