Hi

I have installed ASM on the cluster. its a 2 node cluter. i have installed pfile locally.

i am not able to start asm instance using pfile.

startup pfile=/u01/app/admin/+ASM/pfile/init+ASM.ora

ORA-29760: instance_number parameter not specified.

but i have mentioned the above parameter in my pfile.

you can find below my pfile parameter setting.

instance_type=asm

+ASM1.instance_name=+ASM1

+ASM2.instance_name=+ASM2

+ASM1.instance_number=1

+ASM2.instance_number=2

I dont know where i am going wrong.

please help me on this.

Thanks,

Daniesh,

I think you need to have pfile name as “init+ASM1.ora”

Hi,

Try to put the following parameters in this pfile:

*.cluster_database=true

*.cluster_database_instances=2

*.instance_type=asm
