ASM keeps metadata in the first allocation units of the disks (first two
typically) and also has metadata files (regular ASM files with file
number < 256 so that you would not see them in v$asm_file).
Some info on what metadata files are available is in
https://twiki.cern.ch/twiki/bin/view/PSSGroup/ASM_Internals, more
details in the book Oracle Automatic Storage Management, Osborne Oracle
Press 2007, N. Vengurlekar, M. Vallath and R. Long.

Luca

Hi Dan/Niall

Thanks for providing the detailed answer i was looking for.

I have one more question though since ASM does not have a control file
where does it keep the information of all the disks and diskgroups

Luca

details on ASM on your site very handy for troubleshooting

Hrishy
