How does the DB know if it uses ASM

Not sure if this sounds crazy or something. I know how the database communicates with ASM using the ASMB process, the slave processes and all.

But, how does a database know that it uses ASM for storage and not VM/file system, in the first place ? I haven't seen any parameter in that regard.

Howdy, Stranger!
