Installing Automatic Storage Management (ASM)

For Linux systems Oracle provides a custom device driver known as ASMLib, which is recommended for most ASM installations on Linux. ASMLib is available for free download from OTN.
Determine the Version of ASMLib you need
ASMLib 2.0 is delivered as a set of three RPM packages.
• oracleasmlib-2.0 - the ASM libraries
• oracleasm-support-2.0 - utilities needed to administer ASMLib
• oracleasm - a kernel module for the ASM library that is specific to each kernel
Each Linux distribution has its own set of ASMLib 2.0 packages (OEL 5 uses the same RPMs as Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 AS). Within each distribution, each kernel version has a corresponding oracleasm package.
