It'll work fine, just make sure the ASM instance is configured in the
resource group as well, and add it as a dependent resource for the
Oracle instance. Your failover time will be increased, obviously, as
you will have to wait for ASM instance to start before VCS can start up
the database.
There doesn't seem to be a huge advantage to using ASM in this config,
though, since you could easily put the data on a cooked filesystem on
top of an LVM, which would give you the disk concatenation.
Thanks,
Matt

Subject: ASM in a Veritas Cluster Software environment
Hello all,
I've been assigned to build a data warehouse-type database on an Itanium
server running HPUX 11.23. This server is currently the passive side of
a Veritas Cluster active-passive configuration. RDBMS version 11.1.0.7
will be used. RAC will not be used. The idea is that if one of the
servers goes down, the database will be migrated to the active server
and started up by the cluster.
I suggested that we use Automatic Storage Management, but the
UNIX/storage admins seem to feel that this is not compatible with VCS.
Personally I would think that it shouldn't really matter whether the
database is using ASM or not. If VCS can move the diskgroups from one
server to another, then it be fine. Perhaps assuming that ASM diskgroups
can be included in a VCS failover configuration is presumptuous?
Can anyone tell me if this will work or not?
If so, any links to documentation would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Lou Avrami
