Bryan, Does your OCR still have the ASM info. crs_stat output (better yet, ocrdump output) should reveal it. Thanks, Ravi ________________________________ From: oracle-l-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:oracle-l-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Bryan Thomas Sent: Wednesday, January 11, 2006 4:33 PM To: oracle-l@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: failed ASM install Does anyone know how to get rid of a failed ASM instance? There was in issue with DBCA and the ASM instance was unusable. We cannot create another RAC database because DBCA says the ASM instance is not a clustered database. This is 10gR2 on SLES 9 SP2+ x86_64. I have deleted every trace of ASM off the servers and dd'd over the raw devices. Any help would be appreciated. Bryan
