Niall, I think you meant having ASM disk groups stored on *NFS* here.
IIRC it's supported from 12.2 onwards and previously could be achieved by
setting (in an unsupported way) by setting an undocumented parameter. It
needed _asm_allow_only_raw_disks=false I think.

It is perfectly possible to create an ASM disk group on top of ASM. I
consider this daft of course, but still.

Hmmm I just read the below where in it states ASM is mandatory to store
voting files and ocr... I think this will be challenge for companies who
rely on NFS highly..

All,
18c installation guides is not clear about whether we can install grid
infrastructure on dNFS ?? Is that possible?? All I see in the guide is
about ASM?? Is it mandatory to have ASM??
Thanks,
