That's what I was told today during our ASM training (or what I
assumed base on information i got). For Oracle, IO fencing requires at
least one voting disk and this is what's configured with CRS (voting
disks). In non-RAC setup, you don't specify voting disks, thus, no IO
fencing. Right? From my point of view, IO fencing is only needed to
support split brain resolution for clustered setup and to evict nodes
(anything I missed?).
Today, I did a test - I created a second ASM instance on the same host
and databases were not able to register with this instance unless I
register this new ASM instance with CRS (and consequently CSS is
aware). There was some problem with CRS bahving strangely but this is
anothe story.
In the end, I won't tell you "yes, I am 100% sure" unless I trace the
processes involved. I am positive that this is the case and I actually
can try to trace it down (if I have enough spare time).

Alex, are you sure that is why it needs ocssd and not just
for "fencing" functionality?
