ASM is still uses the wrong parameters from the spfile delivered by GPNPD. unfortunately editing the xml files in 11.2.0/grid/gpnp/rac11r2-1/profiles/peer doesn't work because they are signed: [1147484480]clsgpnpm_dumpMsg: "+asm" LeaseDuration="400"/><orcl:ASM-Profile id="asm" Discovery[cont] [1147484480]clsgpnpm_dumpMsg: String="" SPFile="+DATA/rac11r2-cluster/asmparameterfile/registr[cont] [1147484480]clsgpnpm_dumpMsg: y.253.709856875"/><ds:Signature xmlns:ds="http://www.w3.org/2000[cont] now i have to figure out, how to change the profile without ASM. ASMCMD can change the profile but needs a running ASM instance :( regards, -ap -- //www.freelists.org/webpage/oracle-l
