oracleasm disks disappeared .....
849425Dec 10 2011 — edited Dec 15 2011I created oracleasm disks, build a two node RAC on asm diskgroups and created rac instances on Nov .4th.
The OS is RED Hat 5, and db version is 11.2.0.2.4.
Now I find out one node uptime is 24 days, node 2 is 12 days. THat means there was a reboot 12 days ago.
Then all my oracleasmdisks not existed.
If I do a oracleasm listdisks, there will show nothing. I went to /dev/oracleasm/disks, there are nothing under there.
[root]# cd /dev/oracleasm/disks
[root]# ls
[root]#
[root]# oracleasm listdisks
[root]# oracleasm scandisks
Reloading disk partitions: done
Cleaning any stale ASM disks...
Scanning system for ASM disks..
I documented my steps from my implementation, and I am 100% sure I got everything up and running.
I checked /var/log oracleasm message, it said:

I would like to know if any reboot of the server will cause oracleasm disks gone? what else I can check to find out what happened to my oracleasm disks?
Thanks
