ADVM-03171

insufficient contiguous free ASM Diskgroup space

Cause

An attempt to resize an ADVM volume failed because ASM did not have enough contiguous free diskgroup storage. This could have been a transient condition if ASM rebalance was running, otherwise the ASM alert logs may provide detailed failure indications.


Action

Check the ASM alert logs, address ASM issues if any, and retry the resize. If ASM rebalance is running it may release sufficient space by completion to allow a retry of the resize to succeed. Monitor V$ASM_DISK.FREE_MB view, if desired, to track free storage and retry the resize if sufficient storage becomes available. Otherwise, retry the resize after using ASM commands to increase the free space or retry, specifying a smaller quantity.
