看的时候，觉得一些注意的地方，都copy了一份，粘贴如下：
1. ASM 的限制：
ASM has the following size limits:
（1） 63 disk groups in a storage system
（2）10,000 ASM disks in a storage system
（3） 1 million files for each disk group
2. ASM 的镜像
ASM uses a unique mirroring algorithm. ASM does not mirror disks; rather, it mirrors extents. As Thus when a block is written to a file, each extent in the extent set is written in parallel. However, when a block is read from disk, it is always read from the primary extent, unless the primary extent cannot be read.
ASM 采用的是extent级别的镜像，而非disks，在写extent的时候，是并行写，但是读的时候，仅从primary extent进行读，除非primary extent 不可以用的时候才会去读mirror extent。
这一点和我们的RAID 镜像有一定的区别。
3. ASM 内存设置
The SGA parameters for database instance needs slight modification to support ASM extent maps and other ASM information. Note if the 10g Automatic Memory Management feature is being used on the database instance, then the following sizing data can be treated as informational only or as supplemental data in gauging appropriate values for the SGA. Oracle highly recommends using the Automatic Memory Management feature.
The following are guidelines for SGA sizing on the database instance:
（1）Processes = Add 16
（2）Shared_pool = Add additional 600k
（3）Large_pool – Additional memory is required to store extent maps. Aggregate the values from the following queries to obtain current database storage size that is either already on ASM or will be stored in ASM. Then determine the redundancy type that is used (or will be used), and calculate the shared_pool, using the aggregated value as input.
select sum(bytes)/(1024*1024*1024) from v$datafile;
select sum(bytes)/(1024*1024*1024) from v$logfile a, v$log b
where a.group#=b.group#;
select sum(bytes)/(1024*1024*1024) from v$tempfile where status='ONLINE';
For diskgroups using external redundancy = (Every 100Gb of space needs 1Mb of extra shared pool) + 2M
For diskgroups using Normal redundancy: (Every 50Gb of space needs 1Mb of extra shared pool) + 4M.
For diskgroups using High redundancy: (Every 33Gb of space needs 1Mb of extra shared pool) + 6M.
这个是一个10g RAC 测试平台的默认值：
