Oracle RAC 3'rd votedisk showing blank path

Preliminaries:

Oracle 10g SE (10.2.0.3.0) 2 node RAC using Oracle Clusterware RedHat EL 4 for both nodes
2 promise arrays for shared storage
gigabit network for iSCSI storage, priv and pub interfaces 1 chip 2 cores X86_64 CPU per node (Oracle is installed as the X86_64 version and so is OS).
8 gigs memory per machine

Hi All,

One of my voting disks failed and I'm trying to replace it. When I do crsctl query css vote disk, this is the result:
[root_at_zdb-01 ~]# crsctl query css votedisk

 0.     0    /dev/raw/raw3
 1.     0    /dev/raw/raw1
 2.     0

In votedisk 2 it shows a blank path where the failed votedisk was. There is no way for me to delete it using crsctl delete css votedsk <path> because there is no way to reference a blank path.

In the OCR, the value for SYSTEM.css.diskfile and SYSTEM.css.diskfile1 seems ok, but when it gets to SYSTEM.css.diskfile2 it gets a bit squirelley. It shows UNDEF for SYSTEM.css.diskfile and extraneous keys SYSTEM.css.diskfile2.2, SYSTEM.css.diskfile2.2.0, and SYSTEM.css.diskfile2.2.0.3.

I have another RAC system installed and it only shows SYSTEM.css.diskfile2 for the third votedisk.

I dumped the OCR and this is what it says for the diskfile[-x]:

[SYSTEM.css.diskfile]

ORATEXT : /dev/raw/raw3

SECURITY : {USER_PERMISSION : PROCR_ALL_ACCESS, GROUP_PERMISSION : PROCR_READ, OTHER_PERMISSION : PROCR_READ, USER_NAME : root, GROUP_NAME : root}

[SYSTEM.css.diskfile1]

ORATEXT : /dev/raw/raw1

SECURITY : {USER_PERMISSION : PROCR_ALL_ACCESS, GROUP_PERMISSION : PROCR_READ, OTHER_PERMISSION : PROCR_READ, USER_NAME : root, GROUP_NAME : root}

[SYSTEM.css.diskfile2]

UNDEF : SECURITY : {USER_PERMISSION : PROCR_ALL_ACCESS, GROUP_PERMISSION : PROCR_NONE, OTHER_PERMISSION : PROCR_NONE, USER_NAME : root, GROUP_NAME : root}

[SYSTEM.css.diskfile2.2]

UNDEF : SECURITY : {USER_PERMISSION : PROCR_ALL_ACCESS, GROUP_PERMISSION : PROCR_NONE, OTHER_PERMISSION : PROCR_NONE, USER_NAME : root, GROUP_NAME : root}

[SYSTEM.css.diskfile2.2.0]

UNDEF : SECURITY : {USER_PERMISSION : PROCR_ALL_ACCESS, GROUP_PERMISSION : PROCR_NONE, OTHER_PERMISSION : PROCR_NONE, USER_NAME : root, GROUP_NAME : root}

[SYSTEM.css.diskfile2.2.0.3]

UNDEF : SECURITY : {USER_PERMISSION : PROCR_ALL_ACCESS, GROUP_PERMISSION : PROCR_NONE, OTHER_PERMISSION : PROCR_NONE, USER_NAME : root, GROUP_NAME : root}

Anyone know what's going on and how I can fix it? Is it even possible to remove the extraneous keys and set the correct value for SYSTEM.css.diskfile2?

Any help you can provide would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
