I ran the following SQL:
SELECT 
  V.GROUP_NUMBER, V.NAME, V.SECTOR_SIZE, 
     V.BLOCK_SIZE, V.ALLOCATION_UNIT_SIZE, V.STATE, 
     V.TYPE, V.TOTAL_MB, V.FREE_MB
  FROM SYS.V_$ASM_DISKGROUP V


...and got these results:
GROUP_NUMBER	NAME		SECTOR_SIZE	BLOCK_SIZE	ALLOCATION_UNIT_SIZE	STATE		TYPE	TOTAL_MB	FREE_MB
1		DATA		512		4096		1048576			CONNECTED	EXTERN	204186		0
2		LOGS		512		4096		1048576			MOUNTED		EXTERN


What can be the reasons that a diskgroup should run in MOUNTED state?

Also, why is not showing me any data against FREE_MB, and no data against second diskgroup?

Thanks!

You must be running this query against the database instead of ASM instance.
It is one of those quirky things that drove me nuts and I never got a chance to look into further.
Long story short, connected means the database is actively using it.
You must be worried if the state is 'dismounted' or the other states.
try with AMS instance (using v$ instead of v_$) or
just try with 
export ORACLE_SID=+ASM --+ASM1 OR ASM2 OR whatever in case of RAC
asmcmd lsdg

Oh great.. it worked!

Here are the results.
$ export ORACLE_SID=+ASM1
$ sqlplus / as sysdba

Questions:
So, what's the difference between the ALLOCATION_UNIT_SIZE and TOTAL_MB?

My DB size (checked from EM) is 69G, and FREE_MB=137965 shows that I have alsmost 134G free. That means the max. size for my DISKGROUP=1 is 200G. If yes, then what's Allocation Unit Size?

Does this also mean that the total capacity of my ASM DISKGROUPS is 400G?

Also, why didn't the V$ASM_DISKGROUP show the information until the SID was set as +ASM1? I assume that information in views should remain the same regardless of the SID.

awaiting your reply...
Thanks again..

Mahesh,
I had already gone through those links, and they don't have any significant information about the questions I had.

Any other material?

Thanks

>> So, what's the difference between the ALLOCATION_UNIT_SIZE and TOTAL_MB?
allocation unit is just the extent size. If you are interested,
investigate about _asm_ausize and _asm_stripesize.
By default allocation unit is 1mb (I believe).
Quoting docs.
ALLOCATION_UNIT_SIZE  -Size of the allocation unit (in bytes)
FREE_MB               - Unused capacity of the disk group (in megabytes)
>>Also, why didn't the V$ASM_DISKGROUP show the information until the SID was set as +ASM1? I assume that information in views should remain the same regardless of the SID.
Already answered.
Before you queried the database instance.
with +ASM1 you query the local ASM instance.
Both are different
Quoting docs
In an Automatic Storage Management instance, V$ASM_DISKGROUP displays one row for every disk group discovered by the Automatic Storage Management instance. 
In a database instance, V$ASM_DISKGROUP displays one row for every Automatic Storage Management disk group 
mounted by the local Automatic Storage Management instance.

>>Does this also mean that the total capacity of my ASM DISKGROUPS is 400G?
quoting docs
TOTAL_MB -Total capacity of the disk group (in megabytes)

do the math.

I have a staging environment where I was trying to see the ASM disk space. I followed the same process of exporting the ORACLE_SID=+ASM1 and then running the SQL as mentioned in the above posts, and I get this error:
oracle@ora1-pstag:~$ export ORACLE_SID=+ASM1
oracle@ora1-pstag:~$ sqlplus / as sysdba

But when I do it through ORACLE_SID=stage1, it gives me following results:

What's the difference, what's going on?

Thanks.

as already said in the previous post,
export ORACLE_SID=+ASM --+ASM1 OR ASM2 OR whatever in case of RAC

If you have a rac, +ASM1 or +ASM2 or whatever you have defined will work.
For a single instacne +ASM would work.
Depends on your environment.

If you like, send me the ASM entry in your oratab and I will send you a script to provide the results below:
