instance_number not specified error

user 777111Mar 18 2013 — edited Mar 21 2013
Hi All,

I went through most the OTN forum links and google before i reach out here.
Oracle 11GR2 LINUX 5.1 release
its a 3 node RAC cluster.
ASM shared storage.

I was able to successfully create a database called TEST.
I entered the RAC related parametes in pfile and when i start up i am encountering this error.
I tried lot of options like, SPFILE on shared location .
lower case and upper case.
tried starting it up with pfile and spfile in ASM
tried to add instance, database using srvctl.

still i keep getting the same. error. Can you please help what i am missign here?

FYI: This is a new database i am creating on this. As a standalone database its up and running with ASM storage.
But i am facing issue when i include RAC related parameters and start it up with pfile.

Below is the pfile i am pasting. pls let me know if you have any question.
