Question1. If Flex ASM is configured, regardless of the number of nodes in the cluster , there will be 3 ASM instances running by default (default cardinality).
i.e. In a 2-node cluster, one of the nodes will have 2 ASM instances running and other one node will have 1 ASM instance running.
Similarly, in a 5-node cluster , only 3-nodes will have ASM instances running. Am I right ?
Question2. As I understand, I can use the private interconnect network (heartbeat) or a dedicated network for Flex ASM. For production deployments, is it common to use the private interconnect's network for ASM Flex ?
