RAC has nothing to do with GRID. GRID has nothing to do with RAC. And ASM has nothing to do with either RAC or GRID. They are three entirely separate technologies each of which can be utilized independent of the other two or in any combination of 2 or all 3 together. And ASM has nothing to do with virtual storage.

I'd suggest you refer your customer to the concept docs.
