Answer

This document summerizes the steps needed to configuring Oracle RAC using ASM with Data Protector in non ZDB contexte:

1- Configure the integration using normal procedure (using Data Protector GUI or comand line - please consult Data Protector integration guide).
2- Add the following ASM option/variables to omnirc file:
    ORA_ASM_LCL_INSTANCE=+ASM1 or ASM2
               the value depends on the RAC node where we set the omnirc file
    ORA_ASM_HOME=<ASM home directory>
    OB2_ORACLE_ASM_OSUSER=<grid user>
                this is usually grid@oinstall
3- <grid user> has to be added to the list of regular Data Protector users
4- The OB2_DPMCTL_SHRLOC environment variable must be set and point to a shared location from where the control file is backed up
