Cause
Unpublished bug 10026970Solution
At the time of this writing, bug 10026970 is fixed in 11.2.0.3 which is not released yet. If ASM device passes manual verification, the warning can be ignored.Manual Verification
To verify asmlib status:
/etc/init.d/oracleasm status
Checking if ASM is loaded: [ OK ]
Checking if /dev/oracleasm is mounted: [ OK ]
## Both should be [OK]
To verify user setting in asmlib:
For environment without job role separation:
========
id <grid user>
uid=1001( grid) gid=1000( oinstall) groups=1000(oinstall)
/usr/sbin/oracleasm configure
========
id <grid user>
uid=1001( grid) gid=1000( oinstall) groups=1000(oinstall)
ORACLEASM_ENABLED=true
ORACLEASM_UID=
grid
ORACLEASM_GID=
oinstall
ORACLEASM_SCANBOOT=true
ORACLEASM_SCANORDER=""
ORACLEASM_SCANEXCLUDE=""
For environment with job role separation:
========
id <grid user>
uid=1001( grid) gid=1000(oinstall) groups=1000(oinstall),1002(asmdba),1003(asmoper),1004( asmadmin)
ORACLEASM_ENABLED=true
ORACLEASM_UID=
grid
ORACLEASM_GID=
asmadmin
ORACLEASM_SCANBOOT=true
ORACLEASM_SCANORDER=""
ORACLEASM_SCANEXCLUDE=""
To verify disk
/etc/init.d/oracleasm listdisks
## Note: In job role separation environment, group will be asmadmin instead of oinstall
## Note: Disk DISKCLU is available and readable from above output.
DISKCLU
ls -l /dev/oracleasm/disks
