I know this may seem rudimentary to many of you, but another DBA and I were 
discussing this question. (After I recently dorked up an spfile on one of my QA 
clustes - miscalculating sga_max_size)
So we were talking and I was curious how (or when) does Oracle know to start 
the ASMB background process when starting up from a pfile when no spfile is 
specified in the pfile?

I have to "assume" that because the control files have the "+" notation that 
the instance knows to start the ASMB process?

I've tried verifying this on my own but couldn't put my hands on the answer 
right away.
