Tuning Oracle Database 10g on Linux Using ASM

Overview With the explosive database size requirements and the proliferation of SAN (Storage Area Network) and NAS (Network-Attached Storage) disk technologies, the system administrator and the DBA must manage hundreds to thousands of disks - sometimes just for one database. Thus the task of planning, initializing, allocating, managing and tuning so many disks becomes unwieldy. Capitulation is often inevitable, and many shops simply treat the disk storage farm as a black box, thus abstracting that complexity away from the database. Frequently this black-box approach can lead to database I/O bottlenecks that are time-consuming to diagnose and remedy. Oracle Database 10g's new Automatic Storage Management (ASM) feature directly addresses these real-world scenarios by providing an effective and simple middle-ground solution.
