Oracle's ASM on HP Servers

[mrfritz44]

Have any of you ever heard of issues with ASM on Hewlett Packard servers? We're currently having problems that hint of an "I/O" issue upon disk failure. I'm not the DBA involved, but I know that it's got them stumped.

Any help would be appreciated,

ASM is a new concept to Oracle. So, as a note of caution as always with Oracle, don't jump on board when a new feature is introduced. Especially when ASM is concerned, Oracle is trying to be an OS vendor. Boy O boy, I'll not use it until some more releases to come.

I'm a big fan of ASM.

It has performed perfectly for us in very demanding OLTP and OLAP/DW solutions. We've been pounding it in production from about 2 months after it was available.

The only problem we had was OMF and duplicating under RMAN.

We're currently running all 10.x production on 10.2 ASM.

EM2Go (PDA version of EM) doesn't do ASM, so you'll have to manage it from the command line or full blown OEM.

could you post the HP server hardware details along with RAID and where, when, under what situations you have problems?
