Actual Minimum Percent Free

Description

Actual Minimum Percent Free lists the amount of free disk space on the fullest disk as a percentage of the disk size. If the imbalance is zero, then this represents the total free space. Since all allocations are done evenly across all disks, the minimum free space limits how much space can be used.

If one disk has only one percent free, then only one percent of the space in the disk group is really available for allocation, even if the rest of the disks are only half full.

Data Source

Actual Minimum Percent Free is calculated as 100 * (min(free_mb / total_mb)), where free_mb and total_mb are columns in V$ASM_DISK_STAT.

User Action

If the actual minimum percent free is a low number, a configuration change may be required in order to provide an even distribution of file extents and space usage across all disks in a disk group.
