> Well, let me re-iterate then: what do you need ASM for?

+ to get better performance: S.A.M.E should provide better performance than a failed attempt to distribute IO load evenly over the disks by manually relocating the datafiles

+ to minimize administration tasks: since there is just a huge ASM area based on raw devices and no datafiles I simply cannot waste my time in playing with datafiles :-)

+ to get best out of the licence fees: since we pay lot of money for Oracle licences we are willing to utilize all the features available - if not, we could move to MySQL or something! :-) Received on Tue Jun 13 2006 - 14:29:15 CDT
