asm_diskstring

Create a temporary initialization parameter file (e.g. /tmp/init+ASM.ora) with the following content (specify your own disk group names):

asm_diskgroups='DATA','RECO'
instance_type='asm'
large_pool_size=12M
remote_login_passwordfile='EXCLUSIVE'

Mount the disk group where the new server parameter file (SPFILE) will reside (e.g. DATA) and create SPFILE:

$ sqlplus / assysasm

SQL> alter diskgroup DATA mount;
Diskgroup altered.

SQL> create spfile='+DATA' from pfile='/tmp/init+ASM.ora';
File created.

SQL> show parameter spfile
