ASM disks not visible ORA-15059: invalid device type for ASM disk

Oracle Database 11.2.0.2
IBM AIX 6.1

Hello

I am not able to see ASM disks while installing Grid Infrastructure or running ASMCA.

In the log files I found the following error for the disks.

INFO: INFO: Parsing KFOD-00311: Error scanning device /dev/hdisk18
INFO: INFO: Parsing ORA-15059: invalid device type for ASM disk
INFO: INFO: Parsing IBM AIX RISC System/6000 Error: 24576: Unknown system error
INFO: INFO: Parsing Additional information: 42
INFO: INFO: Parsing Additional information: 271604864
INFO: INFO: Parsing Additional information: 385088


why it is showing invalid device type for ASM disk ?

All the LUNs are visible with lspv command and all have their ownership changed to oracle:dba (user installing Grid Infrastructure) and have read write permissions set at 660.


lspv command output is below.

$ lspv

hdisk1 00e76e2c8a673ae9 rootvg active
hdisk2 00e76e2ccfa673ba0 datavg active
hdisk18 00e76e2ccfccf75c888 None
hdisk19 00e76e2ccf75c797 None
hdisk20 00e76e2ccff75c983 None
