I can understand that playing with kfed/amdu is really scary thing and ust want
to play on my personal laptop now to get well versed with outputs and commands.
Quick question, that if I had multiple database sharing same diskgroup and lost
the disk in the diskgroup then1. Can I drop this disk and bring the Diskgroup
up ?2. Can I recover the Database once the DG is mounted instead to restore
multiple Database ?

Sanjay,
Although this is probably not the answer you are looking for but, at the point
you are describing the best way is to engage Oracle Support. There are a number
of good articles on using kfed/kfod and manual disk repair, and the ASM SMEs at
Oracle are really smart and willing to share their information but, once you
start messing with the disk header, you are deep in the weeds and certainly
unsupported without the direct involvement of Oracle Support.

If header is not repairable then what is the best way to bring environment back
with less downtime. Scenario is Disk group is 20Tb and Lost disk is 512G.

Sanjay,
There are ways to fix corrupt ASM disk headers (other than restoring a backup
of the header) so no, it is not true that all the data would be lost if
external redundancy disk header is lost.
However, this scenario is exactly why you would not use external redundancy of
you are unable to protect the disks and the headers at the storage layer.
There are scenarios where you would have separate disk groups for each database
but these would generally not be for protecting data, but segregating it for
purposes of using storage snapshots.

Hi
Need some expert opinion on Oracle ASM best practices and high availability. It
is recommended to have minimum DG using ASM like DATA/FRA for multiple database
on the Cluster. Now I had seen some scenario, where one disk header on External
Redundancy DG causes to restore all Database and hence Major failure. Does this
not make sense to create multiple DG like DATA for each Database and FRA can be
shared ?
Please share your opinion and just for reference that Disk header in such
scenario was not recoverable from backup header.
