RE: ASM and minimal oracle home software install

 K, the bug report "DBCA DOES NOT RECOGNIZE ASM INSTALLED IN A DIFFERENT
ORACLE HOME" is not public so a search using the Advanced Search option
with the bug number as the document number gets no hits.  I found the
above via an exact quote search but since it is not public could not
read any details.

If you have access or more in-depth knowledge do you know if the
non-shared Oracle Home only a problem for DBCA and that ASM and the
rdbms will work fine if you build the ASM database manually?

Smith,

It is always better to have a separate user/home  for ASM. However some
cases (like the new 11g bug 5728245) you may have to keep the ASM and
RDBMS in the same home under same user though 11g advocates separate
users for CRS,ASM and DB.

Coming to your original question, at present there is no  ASM version of
database binaries. You may have to do a comple rdbms software install in
the ASM home. Hopefully this may change in future with an ASM only
software install by stripping the unwanted tools/utilities/libraries in
the ASM Home.
