ASM resource online and ASM idle instance

Fabricio_JorgeJan 13 2013 — edited Jan 24 2013
Hi all,

SO..........: CentOS 5.8 32bits (VM - VirtualBox)
Oracle...: 11gR2 (11.2.0.1.0)

On my test environment, i have a VM running Oracle Clusterware and 2 11g instances. The problem is: The ASM service appears online (through ./crsctl status resource -t, see below), but when a try to connect to the ASM instance as sysasm, it shows me that the instance is idle, and if i try to startup it, the message "ORA-15149: another ASM instance found running on the host" is shown to me.
--output of ./crsctl status resource -t

If i try to start the ora.asm resource through ./crtctl start, the following output is shown:
[root@VM-Cent5 bin]# ./crsctl start resource ora.asm
CRS-2672: Attempting to start 'ora.asm' on 'vm-cent5'

CRS-2674: Start of 'ora.asm' on 'vm-cent5' failed

CRS-2681: Clean of 'ora.asm' on 'vm-cent5' succeeded
CRS-4000: Command Start failed, or completed with errors.
I am probably doing something stupid, but i still could not see what i'm doing wrong.

Any help will be appreciated. Thanks in advance.
