Information in this document applies to any platform.

Goal

SQL*Plus script to be run while connected to an ASM instance.  It will report the percentage of imbalance in all mounted diskgroups, and the symmetry of failure groups for any normal or high redundancy diskgroups.  If the imbalance is too high then it would be wise to do a manual rebalance.  It can also be used to track the progress of a long running rebalance.  It is only two select statements so it should be safe to run at any time. 

It runs as is on 10gR2. For 10gR1 there are two lines near the top that must be uncommented.  This will make it run slower as there will be unnecessary disk header reads. 

IMPORTANT: If the diskgroup is very large, and the used space is very low, then use False Disk Group Imbalance Status Resulting In Excessive Paging in Grid Control (Doc ID 1271089.1)
