Hi,

How can I check whether the ASM is used in the environment?
Appreciate if anyone can let me know how I can check for it and if being used, how to connect to that instance later on.

Thank.
Regards,

Just read the name of a file in dba_data_files, if it starts with + then you use ASM.

Hi Michel,

Thanks. Do I need to execute

SQL> select file_name from dba_data_files

and look for the "+"?
Btw, when executed

SQL> show parameter log_archive_dest

, it displays as

LOCATION=+DATA1

. Does it also mean I'm using ASM?

I'm a total newbie here. Really appreciate your help. Can you tell me how to get the ASM instance name also?

Thanks.
Regards,
ko_aung

There are many ways, you found one that suits you, then use it. You can also query V$ASM_DISK.

V$ASM_CLIENT

By default it will be +ASM (for single instance. For RAC it will be +ASM1 or +ASMnode).
Go to server, do a

ps -ef | grep smon
