Re: Database Will Not Mount: ORA-00205

Hi David, please check whether the file system which has the database control file is mounted and able to read ? check your asm alert log to get additional info.

$crsctl stat res -t

Above command will provide online/offline status of all of your resources including asm disk groups.

Thanks,
Vishnu
