Best Practices for Oracle Automatic Storage Management (ASM) on Hitachi Dynamic Provisioning(HDP)

When the volumes storing such increasing data (example: volumes for Oracle database) are secured as virtual volumes with Hitachi Dynamic Provisioning software (HDP) for the Hitachi Storage Universal platform V (USP V), costs can be reduced and the management burden reduced. This paper explains some best practices for using Hitachi Dynamic Provisioning software and Oracle Automatic Storage Management (ASM), which have been derived as a result of tests and analysis, performed in the Hitachi-Oracle evaluation centers.
