Candidate ASM disks not showing up in 11.2 installer (Oracle Linux)
JDinPAJul 31 2012 — edited Aug 2 2012I have this same issue of the ASM disk not showing up as the previous thread but the solution listed does not work for me.
Oracle Linux Server release 5.8.
Oracle 11.2 with patch number 13888614 and 13920180.
I change the disk discovery path:/dev/oracleasm/disks/* and I still cannot see the asm disk in the installer.
Everything looks good at the operating system level from both nodes.
$ls -l /dev/oracleasm/disks

What can I check next and how can I get past this error? At this point my project is stuck until I can recognize the ASM disks.
