Symptoms

After creating an initial parameter file init+ASM.ora manually and starting an ASM instance, certain ASM commands fail with ORA-29786 in sqlplus:

sqlplus / as sysasm
SQL> create spfile='$ORACLE_HOME/spfile+ASM.ora' from pfile='$ORACLE_HOME/dbs/init+ASM.ora';
create spfile='$ORACLE_HOME/spfile+ASM.ora' from pfile='$ORACLE_HOME/dbs/init+ASM.ora'
*
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-29786: SIHA attribute GET failed with error [Attribute 'SPFILE' sts[200]
lsts[0]]

 

SQL> create diskgroup <DISK_GROUP>1 normal redundancy disk '/opt/oracle/oradata/nobilldb/<DISK_GROUP>1_dev0' disk '/opt/oracle/oradata/nobilldb/<DISK_GROUP>1_dev1';

Diskgroup created.

SQL> drop diskgroup <DISK_GROUP>1;
drop diskgroup <DISK_GROUP>1
*
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-15039: diskgroup not dropped
ORA-29786: SIHA attribute GET failed with error [Attribute 'SPFILE' sts[200]
lsts[0]]


Better option to create ASM instance is to run asmca in GUI/Silent mode.

Changes

Starting with 11gR2, ASM instance is a resoure in CRS repository also in single instance installations. Hence, it must be registered to OLR before doing certain operations like create/drop diskgroup, create pfile/spfile, etc.
