Hi, since I'm stuck with Outlook, I can't reply inline so ... - /etc/init.d/oracleasm listdisks should show you _disks_ not diskgroups - so the disk ORADATA2 is not showing up on the second node. Is it properly presented at the operating system level? I think this is the root of the ORA-15075. - on the first node, try alter diskgroup ORADATA1 drop disk ORADATA2 to see whether you can drop the disk out of the disk group. It's possible this will work now, or maybe only after you get the disk presented correctly on the second node and run a fresh scandisks.
