Maureen, Looks like the base bug is 5938326, which is public. It's a bit vague, and I'm not entirely sure of the background, but this bug says, down towards the end: "Rediscovery: When CSS/HAS is not installed and executed and v$asm_diskgroup or similar ASM queries are issued with excessive logs in trace files complaining about OCR not ready and/or CSS not running, customers then have the issue. . Workaround: Run CSS" So, are you running CSS? Do: ps -ef|grep css Do you see css running? If not, why not? CSS is required, even for single-instance ASM. Did you run all the root.sh scripts at the appropriate times (and as root) during the installation? Again, just speculation based on what I read, Hope it helps, -Mark -- Mark J.
