To use Oracle ASM with new 11.2.0.1 Oracle DB Install?
I have not used Oracle's ASM feature so far in my 10 + years of Oracle Database Administration. And still am not convinced I need it for this latest
11.2.0.1 install on windows 2008 r2 64 bit server.
The below specs are so far about all I have from the vendor on what they require for their db setup:
Oracle 11g database server
Windows Server 2008 R2 64 bit
Oracle Standard/Enterprise, Version 11.2.0.1 Database
Oracle text 11.2.0.1 must be selected during Oracle Server Version 11.2.0.1 installation
Tablespace auto-extended ON for the Argus 6.0.5 database (argdev)
Argus Database Characterset: AL32UTF8
Argus Database Semantics : CHAR
Following components are installed on the Argus db instance
