Initializing the Oracle ASMLib driver: FAILED

ashishFeb 14 2014 — edited Feb 20 2014

Hello Guys,

Need you help. I dont understand this problem. Oracleasm fail to load.

Oracle version: 11.2.0.3

Linux kernel version: Linux xxx.com 2.6.18-371.4.1.el5 #1 SMP Wed Jan 8 18:42:07 EST 2014 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

]# /etc/init.d/oracleasm status

Checking if ASM is loaded: no

Checking if /dev/oracleasm is mounted: no

------------------------------------------------------------------------

# /etc/init.d/oracleasm configure

Configuring the Oracle ASM library driver.

This will configure the on-boot properties of the Oracle ASM library

driver.  The following questions will determine whether the driver is

loaded on boot and what permissions it will have.  The current values

will be shown in brackets ('[]').  Hitting <ENTER> without typing an

answer will keep that current value.  Ctrl-C will abort.

Default user to own the driver interface [oracle]: oracle

Default group to own the driver interface [asmdba]: asmdba

Start Oracle ASM library driver on boot (y/n) [y]: y

Scan for Oracle ASM disks on boot (y/n) [y]: y
