What is the definition of "ORCL:" in ASM?

928870Apr 6 2012 — edited Apr 9 2012
Hi, I am new to ASM. I found that the ASM disk path can be shown like "ORCL:ASM01" in ASM, I just know that is controlled by the parameter asm_diskstring, but I don't know what actually "ORCL:" means. I just search on the Internet but seems no answer. Can some one help me to understand?

1. If it is set "ORCL:*" in asm_diskstring, how does ASM discover the disk, search in /dev/oracleasm/disks/ or elsewhere?
2. Is "ORCL:" also a parameter or something like database directory? If yes, where is the definition, can I change it?
