Automatic Storage Management (ASM) provides a simple way to manage Oracle database files across disk storage. ASM uses disk groups and metadata to distribute data extents across disks for redundancy. Rebalancing operations redistribute extents to maintain even distribution as disks are added or removed, and the estimated time for rebalancing can be found in V$ASM_OPERATION. ASM supports different redundancy levels including external, normal, and high redundancy.
