V$ASM_DISKGROUP displays one row for every ASM disk group discovered by the ASM instance on the node.
| Column | Datatype | Description | 
|---|---|---|
| GROUP_NUMBER | NUMBER | Cluster-wide number assigned to the disk group (primary key) | 
| NAME | VARCHAR2(30) | Name of the disk group | 
| SECTOR_SIZE | NUMBER | Physical block size (in bytes) | 
| BLOCK_SIZE | NUMBER | Automatic Storage Management metadata block size (in bytes) | 
| ALLOCATION_UNIT_SIZE | NUMBER | Size of the allocation unit (in bytes) | 
| STATE | VARCHAR2(11) | State of the disk group relative to the instance: 
 | 
| TYPE | VARCHAR2(6) | Redundancy type for the disk group: 
 | 
| TOTAL_MB | NUMBER | Total capacity of the disk group (in megabytes) | 
| FREE_MB | NUMBER | Unused capacity of the disk group (in megabytes) | 
| REQUIRED_MIRROR_FREE_MB | NUMBER | Amount of space that is required to be available in a given disk group in order to restore redundancy after one or more disk failures. The amount of space displayed in this column takes mirroring effects into account. | 
| USABLE_FILE_MB | NUMBER | Amount of free space that can be safely utilized taking mirroring into account and yet be able to restore redundancy after a disk failure | 
| OFFLINE_DISKS | NUMBER | Number of disks in the disk group that are currently offline | 
| COMPATIBILITY | VARCHAR2(60) | Minimum software version required for an ASM instance to mount this disk group | 
| DATABASE_COMPATIBILITY | VARCHAR2(60) | Minimum software version required for a database instance to use files in this disk group | 
Note:
TheGROUP_NUMBER, TOTAL_MB, and FREE_MB columns are only meaningful if the disk group is mounted by the instance. Otherwise, their values will be 0.
