1 minutes readASM exists to manage file storage for the RDBMS

Reader Mode
  • ASM does NOT perform I/O on behalf of the RDBMS
  • I/O is performed by the RDBMS processes as it does with other storage types
  • Thus, ASM is not an intermediary for I/O (would be a bottleneck)
  • I/O can occur synchronously or asynchronously depending on the value of the DISK_ASYNCH_IO parameter
  • Disks are RAW devices to ASM
  • Files that can be stored in ASM: typical database data files, control files, redologs, archivelogs, flashback logs, spfiles, RMAN backups and incremental tracking bitmaps, datapump dumpsets.
