Hi All, I have a critical issue on configuring Grid asm instances. CRS installed correctly. I have created 2 disks with "dd ..." on NFS mounted mount point. Both files and directory holding them has oracle: 1> crsctl stat res ora.asm lists 2 oracle asm resources, with possible (cluster has 2 nodes) +ASM1 and +ASM2 as instances. 2> crs_stat -t lists them offline. 3> /etc/init.d/oracleasm listsdisks successfully lists 2 disks I have created for asm. Now I want to configure diskgroup, I start asmca and do not see any disks listed. I change asm_diskstring to the directory where these files are located, but asmca does not seem to see them. What am I missing here? Thanks, DP. -- //www.freelists.org/webpage/oracle-l
