Oracle ASM disk groups health check


Use the ASM Disk Groups health check to review Oracle ASM capacity and offline disk risk when Mini DBA can read V$ASM_DISKGROUP.

Why it matters

ASM is below the database tablespace layer. A database can show ordinary tablespace symptoms while the real problem is low ASM usable file space, lost redundancy, or offline disks.

What Mini DBA checks

  • Disk group used percent.
  • Usable file space and free space.
  • Redundancy type and state.
  • Offline disk count.

What to do

Open Oracle Operations and review the ASM Disk Groups tab. If offline disks are present, investigate ASM/storage health and redundancy before treating the issue as a normal capacity alert. If capacity is high, check growth sources such as datafiles, tempfiles, archive logs, RMAN backups, and FRA usage.
