Experimenting with 11gr2, set up the cluster just fine with asm. Trying to create database, getting this. Looks like a problem with the groups, but I dont know what to do about it.: ERROR at line 1: ORA-01501: CREATE DATABASE failed ORA-00200: control file could not be created ORA-00202: control file: '+DATA' ORA-17502: ksfdcre:4 Failed to create file +DATA ORA-15001: diskgroup "DATA" does not exist or is not mounted ORA-15055: unable to connect to ASM instance ORA-27140: attach to post/wait facility failed ORA-27300: OS system dependent operation:invalid_egid failed with status: 1 ORA-27301: OS failure message: Operation not permitted ORA-27302: failure occurred at: skgpwinit6 ORA-27303: additional information: startup egid = 54321 (oinstall), current egid = 54322 (dba) -- Andrew W.
