ASM would need to run on the SUN cluster. I would also expect Oracle Clusterware to be installed on the cluster and the ASM would be RAC.
UNIX and Windows servers can share storage devices however every storage device I know of partitions its disk so some of the storage is seen by Windows and some is by UNIX. There is no sharing between the two.
