Goal

Current ASM diskgroup has AU size of 1 MB. New ASM diskgroup has a different AU size of 4 MB. Can we move datafiles to a new ASM diskgroup with different AU size?

For example, use RMAN to copy datafile to the new diskgroup, then rename, switch, recover datafiles to migrate to the new disk group.
The key concern here is if we can relocate datafile to a new ASM disk group with different AU size, is there any potential risk?
