Hello Experts,
I intended to create a separate Oracle_home and an ASM home.
OS - OEL 6
1. Oracle 11gR2 was successfully installed and a DB was created using DBCA
The Disks were configured for ASM using the oracleasm commands as mentioned in the URL below.

2. When I wanted to install a separate ASM home
I downloaded 11gR1 and unzipped the binaries
[ii] I choose configure ASM option
[iii] Installation went fine till I executed root.sh script. The details of the error mentioned below.
Problems faced :-
1. The ASM Disk discovery was unable to detect the Disk Labels (the Disk names displayed by "oracleasm listdisk" Eg: DATADISK1) but it could identify the candidates after giving the full-path /dev/oracleasm/.../DATADISK1
2. After proceeding further I reached to execute root.sh script. The CSS was unable to start.
Please suggets me as to how I can proceed with installing and creating an ASM Instance.
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Valli
