ASM Move from Solaris to Linux

I need to move an Oracle database from Solaris (Sparc) to Linux (Intel) with a change of endian from big to little.  We are using ASM on raw disks on NFS mounts .  My questions are:

1: Are ASM managed disk independent of Endianness?  The format is controlled by oracle libraries, I would guess they’re the same on all systems. 

2:  Can I unmount the raw disks from Solaris and mount them on a Linux system with the same version of Oracle Grid, ASM, and DB and have ASM read the ASM file system?

 

It seems this would be a problem, but I'm not sure what format ASM actually uses on the disk

Howdy, Stranger!
