9.1.19.4 Dynamic Power Change

You can adjust the value of the ASM_POWER_LIMIT parameter dynamically.

If the POWER clause is not specified in an ALTER DISKGROUP statement, or when rebalance is implicitly run by adding or dropping a disk, then the rebalance power defaults to the value of the ASM_POWER_LIMIT initialization parameter. You can adjust the value of this parameter dynamically. The range of values for the POWER clause is the same for the ASM_POWER_LIMIT initialization parameter.

The higher the power limit, the more quickly a rebalance operation can complete. Rebalancing takes longer with lower power values, but consumes fewer processing and I/O resources which are shared by other applications, such as the database.

See Tuning Rebalance Operations in Oracle Automatic Storage Management Administrator's Guide.
