Ranko,

 

This really is not much different than using an external SAN disk for
the database.  If your EMC or Shark array does down, then the database
goes with it.


The only real difference is in the software controlling the disk array.
Either you use Oracle and ASM or the third party software.

Hi List, 

Just thinking aloud - when ASM crashes then all instances connected to
it crash too. 

This can't be good, right ?
