Bill,

I had quickly browsed thru your adventurees. :) Believe me RAC install is very 
simple and straight forward if you religiuoly complete the pre requisites.  Lot 
of times we complete the RAC installs in less than few hours.

Couple of questions.

Did you run the clusterverify (cluvfy) sucessfully?
Did you create the partitions for ASM disks and set the ownerships correclty.
Were you able to read the asm disks from all the nodes.? (simple dd)
What is the EXACT error message from asm alert log?

In case if you have already a TAR/SR open let us know the SR# and some one in 
this list may be able to look the SR and help you.

If you want to cleanup the crs installs just have a look at the note

Greetings,

I successfully completed the CRS installation and have moved on to
Install Oracle and configure ASM. My first try encountered some problems
and so I wanted to begin again and did the following. Using srvctl
stopped the ASM instance (it was created but I wasn't sure if it was
created correctly) and it stopped on both nodes. Then, using the
installer I uninstalled the ASMHOME, deleted the files, removed the
reference from oratab and again tried the installer. This time the
installer indicated that it found an ASM already there and that I had to
take other steps. In fact crs_stat shows the asm instance...

$ ./crs_stat
NAME=ora.banacek.ASM1.asm
TYPE=application
TARGET=OFFLINE
STATE=OFFLINE

NAME=ora.banacek.LISTENER_BANACEK.lsnr
TYPE=application
TARGET=OFFLINE
STATE=UNKNOWN on banacek
.
.
.

So I attempted to remove asm using srvctl which throws errors...

$ srvctl remove asm -n banacek
PRKS-1033 : Failed to remove configuration for ASM instance "+ASM1" on
node "banacek" from cluster registry, [Error 0: oracle exe
/opt/pkg/oracle/asmhome/bin/oracle not
found(scls_idq_get_oracle_user_id: stat:[1])
  [Error 0: oracle exe /opt/pkg/oracle/asmhome/bin/oracle not
found(scls_idq_get_oracle_user_id: stat:[1])]]
  [Error 0: oracle exe /opt/pkg/oracle/asmhome/bin/oracle not
found(scls_idq_get_oracle_user_id: stat:[1])
  [Error 0: oracle exe /opt/pkg/oracle/asmhome/bin/oracle not
found(scls_idq_get_oracle_user_id: stat:[1])]]
$

Which indeed makes sense since I removed the /opt/pkg/oracle/asmhome
directory.

Am I hosed or can I remove this occurrence of asm? Any help greatly
appreciated.

Thanks.
