Finn - 

 

That doesn't really sound like an issue with ASM so much as a planning
issue in space utilization.

 

What did you end up doing?

Here's a problem I ran into with ASM a while back.

 

I was exporting large partitions as a means of backing them up for
historical purposes and the intent was to put them on tape.
Unfortunately my setup had almost all space allocated to ASM so very
little filesystem space existed. expdp will still export to a ASM disk
group so that part was covered, but now I had a export file in an ASM
diskgroup and no way to use OS commands to back it up. RMAN doesn't
allow for backing up export files, so I was left with no way to get the
file straight from ASM onto a tape and no filesystem space to put the
export file on. I was stuck.

Ah I missed the "in" when I read it the first time.  Pardon me.
