ASM disk and multiple partitions

edited Feb 2, 2016 4:02AM in Storage Management (ASM ACFS DNFS ODM) (MOSC) 2 commentsAnswered

I have read that it is best practice to create a single whole disk partition for disks to be used by ASM.  Can anyone tell me why that is the case?  What are the drawbacks of using multiple partitions on a single large disk and then assigning each partition to an "asm disk"?
