Hi Raj,=20
Well, at this point I'm about to discount ASM completely on Windows for
now. After the wipe and reinstall, I tried creating another ASM
instance through dbca. It now doesn't like my create diskgroup
statement. It can't discover any candidate disks. My impression is
that I should be able to make a directory available to ASM to discover
and use - I have one disk on this server, it has the oracle software and
databases on it. I wonder if that's what it doesn't like. Or maybe the
fact that it's one Raid 5 device (even with external redundancy stated).
The dbca added local_listener in the parm file. I thought it was a
necessary evil. It's not.=20
I can officially say this now. I absolutely LOATHE Windows. All the
documentation and white papers are on *nix and they don't necessarily
translate to Windows. It all looks so easy, so pretty... NOT
And, believe it or not, the data warehouse I work on is going to be
reformatted to be Raid 5 instead of Raid 10 not only for additional
storage, but at a recommendation coming from Oracle. Seems that Windows
can't generate writes fast enough to blow the 5GB San cache, even if
it's Raid 5. I'm done arguing. I want to be a daycare teacher or a
garbage collector. I have nearly had it with this job.=20
Someone hand me a dirty martini. I need it.

Lisa,
Being on winders platform, wiping the machine clean and reinstalling is
probably *the* way to go. It is a platform specific feature, heck it is
a requisite. It took me exactly 6 minutes to get the ASM instance up and
running on AIX and this time includes a minute spent on varying on the
disks.
Here is a related thought ... Why would I use ASM's 2/3 way mirroring if
the RAW files I supply are already striped and mirrored 4 ways .. Isn't
is redundant?=3D20

No, unfortunately I am on Windows.=3D3D20
I ended up wiping the machine and reinstalling. I'm going to start from
scratch. This has turned into a holy mess.=3D3D20
Thanks everyone. =3D3D20
