Several questions about oracle ASM in 11gR2.

Question

Hi, all.
The db is 11.2.0.3 on a linux machine.
I have several questions about oracle ASM functionality.
1. V$ASM_DISKGROUP.ALLOCATION_UNIT_SIZE is the stripe size in bytes??
2. V$ASM_DISK.DISK_NUMBER is unique to a physical disk??
3. if the second question is the case,
disk_number=0 (a physical disk) has 14 partition on it.
And each partition belongs to several diskgroups.
Is ths right??
with q1 as (
     select /*+ use_hash(b,a) */
          disk_number,b.group_number,b.name,a.path,sum(os_mb) tot_size ,count(*) cnt
     from v$asm_disk a, v$asm_diskgroup b
     where a.group_number=b.group_number
     group by disk_number,b.group_number,b.name,a.path
     order by disk_number,b.group_number,b.name
select disk_number,group_number,name,path,tot_size,
       sum(tot_size) over (partition by disk_number) disk_size,
       sum(cnt) over (partition by disk_number) parition_cnt_per_disk
  from q1
  order by q1.disk_number,group_number

Answer 1

1. No. The stripe size always equals 128 KB in any configuration.
(http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E11882_01/server.112/e18951/asmcon.htm#BABCGDBF)That is not a true statement. Please read the document, the stripe size depends upon what method of striping we using (fine-grained or coarse-grained)
--from the same oracle document:
To stripe data, Oracle ASM separates files into stripes and spreads data evenly across all of the disks in a disk group. The fine-grained stripe size always equals 128 KB in any configuration; this provides lower I/O latency for small I/O operations. The coarse-grained stripe size is always equal to the AU size (not the data extent size).
--are we using fine grained or coarse-grained ? and how to change the striping method (using TEMPLATES)
