An ASM instance must store its SPFILE in ASM.

The ASM passwordfile can be stored in $GRID_HOME/dbs on local storage of a cluster node.

The ASM passwordfile can be stored in a diskgroup that is accessible to all ASM instances.

A server pool directive override can be used to modify the database parameter CPU_COUNT for all databases within one server pool.

It requires a resource manager plan to be active on databases managed by QoS.

The Clusterware binaries may be installed without installing ASM binaries.

The Grid Infrastructure Management Repository is only required when using ASM.

Specifying the use of Grid Naming Service is optional.

Normal Redundancy ASM Disk Groups used for Clusterware flies will contain three voting files regardless of the number of failgroups.

High Redundancy ASM Disk Groups used for Clusterware files will contain two OCRs.
