I use ASM a lot, and I really dont see any advantage of using asm unless you are
in a cluster. Especially with windows. It doesnt really make managing space
easier, its just different.
Bingo. All the nonsense in the ASM papers about "how much easier it is to
admin" is just Powerpoint vapour. But I can see some of the advantages outside
RAC - I believe it was Alan who mentioned them? As in, singly and severaly:
multiple, many instances, many being copies, no SAN, need for quick
provisioning, etcetc.
Under those conditions I believe it may make sense to use ASM outside of the
specific arena of RAC.
But in Windows, single instance? Curriculum build-up is the only motivation I
can see...
