I'm not a DBA, but ours have been trying to set this up on a slightly
different configuration (same servers, different storage array) in order
to support RAC, and have been having a lot of problems with it.
According to them, even Oracle doesn't run ASM internally, so it's
something of a stepchild. They have decided to go a different route. So
we have not gotten to the point of even being able to try performance,
and have had issues.
