10.2.3 Create a Fast Recovery Area Disk Group
You should create a separate disk group for the fast recovery area.
During installation of Oracle Grid Infrastructure, if you select Oracle ASM for storage, a single disk group is created to store the Oracle Clusterware files. If you plan to create a single-instance database, an Oracle RAC database, or an Oracle RAC One Node database, then this disk group can also be used to store the data files for the database. However, Oracle recommends that you create a separate disk group for the fast recovery area.
