Hello, You don't seem alone in having trouble with the installer finding candidate disks. One additional thing I would check would be the following: is your ASMLIB kernel module loaded? /sbin/lsmod |grep asm oracleasm 55176 1 Does your module version match your kernel version? /sbin/modinfo oracleasm filename: /lib/modules/2.6.9-22.ELsmp/kernel/drivers/addon/oracleasm/oracleasm.ko description: Kernel driver backing the Generic Linux ASM Library. author: Joel Becker <joel.becker@xxxxxxxxxx> version: 2.0.3 license: GPL depends: vermagic: 2.6.9-22.ELsmp SMP gcc-3.4 uname -r 2.6.9-22.ELsmp Does oracleasm-discover find your devices? sudo /usr/sbin/oracleasm-discover Using ASMLib from /opt/oracle/extapi/64/asm/orcl/1/libasm.so [ASM Library - Generic Linux, version 2.0.2 (KABI_V2)] Discovered disk: ORCL:VOL1 [121634784 blocks (62277009408 bytes), maxio 512] Discovered disk: ORCL:VOL2 [20971488 blocks (10737401856 bytes), maxio 512] Discovered disk: ORCL:VOL3 [20971488 blocks (10737401856 bytes), maxio 512] Discovered disk: ORCL:VOL4 [419424957 blocks (214745577984 bytes), maxio 512] Discovered disk: ORCL:VOL5 [251658162 blocks (128848978944 bytes), maxio 512] Discovered disk: ORCL:VOL6 [629137467 blocks (322118383104 bytes), maxio 512] The permissions are correct, right?
