Oracle 12c windows 2019 ; oracle restart ; asm ; windows updates, restart cannot connect to asm

ImraneAApr 27 2025

Hi there

Really stuck on this. Needed to complete windows updates on all my vm's. No issues on other oracle vm boxes, except this one.

After proper shutdown of database and asm, restarted server.

Checked status

E:\app\oraservice\product\12.2.0.1\grid\bin>crsctl stat res -t

Tried

E:\app\oraservice\product\12.2.0.1\grid\bin>asmcmd
Connected to an idle instance.
ASMCMD> ls
ASMCMD-8102: no connection to Oracle ASM; command requires Oracle ASM to run

Tried startup, login failure

So, tried to create new password file for +ASM on file system,

orapwd file=E:\app\oraservice\product\12.2.0\dbhome_1\dbs\orapw+ASM password=<new_password>

creates file.

Try to login

set ORACLE_HOME, SID, set sqlplus /nolog

startup passwordfile=as above

not connected

very frustrating…

Any suggestions most welcome….
