Changren,  you need to use ebutool to delete backups from adsm.  In order
for it to work properly with ADSM, you need to use a management class that
has zero inactive versions (zero extra versions).  ADSM will then delete
the inactive backups the next time file expiration processing runs.  It
doesn't matter if oracle was on file systems or raw partitions....the
ADSMConnect agent is just sending buffers of data to ADSM that it receives
from EBU....ADSM has no knowledge about the physical oracle structure.
