CLSRSC-00700

Disk group 'string' contains invalid characters in its name.

Cause

An attempt to upgrade Oracle ASM to version 12.2.0.2.0 or higher was rejected because one or more disk group names contained invalid characters. Starting in version 12.2.0.2.0, disk group names should only contain letters, numbers, and the underscore character.


Action

Use the 'renamedg' tool to change the disk group name to a valid name. Then, change the names of the disks by mounting the disk group in restricted mode and using the ASM SQL command 'ALTER DISKGROUP diskgroupname RENAME DISKS ALL'. Ensure all control files used by this disk group point to the new disk group name by using the SQL command 'ALTER SYSTEM SET CONTROL_FILES'. Specify the new disk group name for the database and update the disk group, server parameter file and password file configuration using the command 'srvctl modify database -db <db_unique_name> -spfile spfile -pwfile <password_file_path> -diskgroup <new_dg_name>', and then retry the upgrade operation.
