What actually is the automatic storage management in an oracle database?
Automatic storage management(ASM) is a high performance and portable cluster file system. And it enables us to manage oracle database files and distributes data across disks for load balancing.
For instance, when we install oracle real application cluster (RAC) database , all the physical database files are stored in ASM.
Automatic storage management(ASM) mirrors the database files across the ASM logical disk groups and it helps us to solve our data storage management challenges.
