Greg,

I took a look at the note and don't see an answer to this particular
question. The interesting thing is that ./etc/init.d/oracleasm listdisks
returns nothing. That is the puzzling thing.

Thanks.

These are the files were created and are used by ASMlib. 

When you use "/etc/init.d/oracleasm createdisk ..."  it will put a file 
in the /dev/oracleasm/disks directory.

I believe that /dev/oracleasm/iid is for the ASM instance ids.  Since 
there are 3, I assume you have 3 ASM instances in your cluster.

See "Making Disks Available to ASMLib"
