Hi there,
I have installed on an Oracle Linux 6.5 a RAC 11.2.0.3. The ASM disk I created with oracleasm. Now, however, I wanted to work itself via SQL or asmcmd and I get not start the instance.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[grid@TestA ~]$ sqlplus / as sysasm
SQL*Plus: Release 11.2.0.3.0 Production on Wed Jul 23 09:57:45 2014

Connected to an idle instance.
SQL> startup
ORA-00304: requested INSTANCE_NUMBER is busy
SQL>

The OCR can work with ASM. However, I do not :-(
My opinion, vote the entries:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
[grid@TestA oracle]$ ps -ef|grep pmon
grid 2946 1 0 Jul22 ? 00:00:21 asm_pmon_+ASM1
grid 36150 35756 0 10:09 pts/1 00:00:00 grep pmon
[grid@TestA oracle]$ cat /etc/oratab

# Entries are of the form:

# The first and second fields are the system identifier and home

I suspect that you talk with oracleasm in the usr directory past the fact RAC installtion ASM and now I have to get this in the RAC environment inside. Has anyone done something like this already, or a solution for me?
