Following Jeffrey Hunter guide. Installing 2 node RAC on Oracle EL5 w/ 11g

All cluvfy operations successful up to this point of running dbca from node1 (lin1).

Errorwhen starting ASM instance on node lin2: PRKS-1009: Failed to start ASM instance "+ASM2 on node "lin2"...[CRS-0233: Resource or relatives are currently involved with another operation.]

...and so forth. I can't get both ASM instances to run concurrently. The dbca complains about whichever one is OFFLINE. When I try to start the OFFLINE instance I get something like:

[root@lin1 bin]# ./crs_start ora.lin2.ASM2.asm
Attempting to start `ora.lin2.ASM2.asm` on member `lin2`
Start of `ora.lin2.ASM2.asm` on member `lin2` failed.
lin1 : CRS-1019: Resource ora.lin2.ASM2.asm (application) cannot run on lin1
CRS-0215: Could not start resource 'ora.lin2.ASM2.asm'.

Am I missing something fundamental w/ the RAC install? Why is the on-line instance off-lined when the other off-line instance is started? The whole purpose is to cluster the instances???

Any assistance very much appreciated. - thx, yomick

DreamzZ,

Thanks for the response. Here is what happens when I try your suggestion.
-----------------------------
[oracle@lin1 bin]$ sqlplus /nolog

SQL*Plus: Release 11.1.0.6.0 - Production on Fri Dec 28 07:01:05 2007 Copyright (c) 1982, 2007, Oracle. All rights reserved.

SQL> connect sys as sysdba
Enter password:
Connected to an idle instance.
SQL> startup mount

LRM-00109: could not open parameter file '/u01/app/oracle/product/11.1.0/db_1/dbs/initorcl1.ora'
------------------------------
Couple of questions here:
1) If there is a running instance, then why would there be a problem with the parameter file? It was req'd to start the instance in the first place, correct?

2) How to change the "*.clustered_database" startup parameter you mention if I can't connect to issue "alter system set *.clustered_database=true"?

Using ASM before starting database make sure you ASM instance is UP.
Also check and post last 50 lines from Alert log file.

Bit more specific for this question.

You have to manually edit you pfile and bounce the database.

I hope you are properly setting the ASM sid before starting the each ASM instance.

Try to start asm with srvctl command.

kindly check the diskgroup of ASM are they mounted properly?
