    - The disks in a disk group are referred to as ASM disks.

    - On Windows operating systems, an ASM disk is always a partition.

    - On all other platforms, an ASM disk can be:

    1. A partition of a logical unit number (LUN)
    2. A network-attached file

    -Although you can also present a volume (a logical collection of disks) for management by ASM, it is not recommended to run ASM on top of another host-based volume manager.
