Symptoms

Some of the devices that should be available for the ASM to use are not discovered by the ASM instance, the rest of the them are discovered and can be used without problems.

When trying to create a diskgroup on such a problematic device, the statement fails as follows:

The following have been checked:
+ ownership and permissions on the device are correct, ie oracle:dba and 660 respectively
+ kfod discovers the device without problems
+ asm_diskstring includes the path to the device
+ OS tracing (truss, strace) on the ASM startup shows no problem accessing the disk.
+ restarting the ASM instance is without positive results.
