Is Grid Infrastructure required for ASM on Solaris + 11gR2 DB?
Hi there,
I want to migrate an existing 11gR2 Database (Enterprise Edition) on Solaris from standard file-based storage to ASM single-instance. I currently have no experience with ASM.
ASM will have to be configured on the same server as the database.
It seems that all the documentation I've read indicate that Oracle Grid Infrastructure must be installed as a pre-requirement for ASM, at least for 11gR2. But I'm still not 100% clear on this.
My questions are:
1. Is Oracle Grid Infrastructure software installation really a requirement for single-instance ASM for 11gR2 database?
2. Are there any utilities installed with the 11gR2 DB software that will allow me to set up ASM for single-instance without having to install Grid Infrastructure?
