These are the files were created and are used by ASMlib.
When you use "/etc/init.d/oracleasm createdisk ..." it will put a file
in the /dev/oracleasm/disks directory.
I believe that /dev/oracleasm/iid is for the ASM instance ids. Since
there are 3, I assume you have 3 ASM instances in your cluster.
