ASM - AIX 5.3 - 10.2 ( RAW or RAID) ?

Hello All,

We are planning on using ASM, by understanding the benefits of it. I have couple of things that I am trying understand...

1. Is this possible to have External redundancy w/ RAW devices ?
2. What are the advantages or disadvantages that are associated w/ using RAW devices or RAID when using with ASM ?
3. What is the role of failure groups, if we use external mirroring ? (

I am not sure if i ask the above questions correctly, but I appreciate if someone educate me on this.

Thank You,
