Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> RE: dbca and ASM - resolved
I finally got past this issue, with much thanks going to Pete and Rajeev!! The problem was an entry in /etc/oratab listing:
+ASM:/u01/app/oracle/product/10.2.0/asm:N
I had manually added that in the past, assuming it was necessary since the database had its entry with separate ones for each instance. See, I had to recreate the database due to corruption in SYSTEM and SYSAUX objects (found when attempting my first backup - long and very painful story). So this whole process worked fine for me a month ago, in between then and now I caused my own headache with the above entry.
