Ora-29701 When Starting ASM Instance
On Linux RedHat 4.0 On the first shutdown of non-RAC ASM, and then startup of the ASM we got the following error: ORA-29701: unable to connect to Cluster Manager It seems that CSS daemon does not want to start any more (occsd.bin is not launched). I run manual restart of daemon and reconfiguration (with localconfig) of CSS registry (as root): $ORACLE_HOME/bin/localconfig reset (CSS is running in the Oracle home of the ASM instance) It solved the problem. When I looked for the solution I found some other scenarios for the same error: Metalink Note: 264235.1 - ORA-29701 On Reboot When Instance Uses Automatic Storage Management (ASM) Metalink Note: ORA-29701 Not able to start the CSS for ASM
