Understanding the "REQUIRED_MIRROR_FREE_MB in" v$asm_diskgroup
In oracle's ASM Administrator Guide:
–Normal redundancy disk group with more than two failure groups
The value is the total raw space for all of the disks in the largest failure group
Then I do a simple test to prove this:
Candidate Disk ready to be managed by ASM: 5 hdiskpower disks ,size 46777MB for each disk
SQL>select total_MB,path from v$asm_disk where path like '%power%';
TOTAL_MB PATH
46477 /dev/rhdiskpower5
46477 /dev/rhdiskpower6
46477 /dev/rhdiskpower7
46477 /dev/rhdiskpower8
46477 /dev/rhdiskpower9
Now create a diskgroup with the 5 hdiskpowers:
