This section discusses initialization parameter files and parameter settings for Oracle ASM instances. To install and initially configure an Oracle ASM instance, use Oracle Universal Installer (OUI) and Oracle ASM Configuration Assistant (ASMCA). Refer to your platform-specific Oracle Grid Infrastructure Installation Guide for details about installing and configuring Oracle ASM.
After an Oracle ASM instance has been installed on a single-instance Oracle Database or in an Oracle Real Application Clusters (Oracle RAC) environment, the final Oracle ASM configuration can be performed. Only a few Oracle ASM-specific instance initialization parameters must be configured. The default values are usually sufficient.
