ASM setup question

We are looking into setting up ASM as our new 10g file system for Oracle. Do you have to use either RMAN or OEM to set up ASM? Is there another way to do it, i.e. manually or with another utility? Any recommendations? We don't use RMAN here, is there it a big task setting it up? Received on Fri Jun 15 2007 - 13:03:10 CDT
