Dan: If so, can we use +ASM1 (node1) while creating non-RAC instance in that node using DBCA ? this instance will use DiskGroups mapped to +ASM1 In our Production landscape, we prefer not to host RAC database for smaller application databases , which won't contribute much load on the server or resource intensive.
