Oracle ASM not starting - disk permission denied suddenly?

2819810Dec 4 2015 — edited Dec 8 2015

Existing Oracle 10.2.0.5 Enterprise ASM instance on Solaris 10 x86 not finding disks suddenly after the server was restarted. Contacted the Solaris Admin and he said the disks are up and functioning with no change being made. Tried troubleshooting and ran dd command and sure enough it comes back permission denied. Admin stated the devices have always been owned by root and it was working fine as configured. I have another server with the exact same setup with root device owner and Oracle sees those disks just fine.

Anyone have any ideas on what I could check?
