Hi, ---- Start ---- Config Details: 2 Node 10gR2 RAC HP-UX (PA-RISC) 64 Bit, 11.23 Serviceguard 11.17 ASM used as storage option for database and recovery files. ---- End ---- This 2 node cluster will host 2 RAC databases. Looking at the best practices document for ASM, I see it says that typically you should have no more than 2 diskgroups per RAC cluster. However, the initial plan was to create 4 diskgroups - 2 for each database. Just wondering if anyone has done something similar to this, or if anyone has more than 1 rac database using asm as the storage?
