Installation tasks for Oracle using ASM
Figure: Installation flow for Oracle ASM illustrates the flow of the installation when you want to use ASM for the Oracle database. The installation flow differs if you use Oracle 11g R2.
The methodology is to perform the following:
Install the Oracle and the ASM binaries on the local disk, configure the ASM, and to create the Oracle database on ASM disk groups during the first installation.
Then, install the Oracle and the ASM binaries on local disks of other nodes.
This methodology ensures that all Oracle installations are identical and access the database from the same location.
Table: Installation tasks for $ORACLE_HOME on local disks (for Oracle 10g R2 or Oracle 11g R1) lists the tasks to install Oracle and ASM (for Oracle 10g R2 or Oracle 11g R1) such that $ORACLE_HOME is on local disks.

|---|---|
On the first node in the cluster, install Oracle binaries on the local disk. Enable the Oracle clustering daemon for Oracle 10g and later. | See Installing Oracle binaries on the first node of the cluster. See Enabling the clustering daemon for ASM-managed database. |
