ORA-15028

Oracle Automatic Storage Management (Oracle ASM) file 'string' not dropped; currently being accessed

Cause

An attempt was made to drop an Oracle ASM file. The file was being accessed by one or more clients and therefore could not be dropped.


Action

Stop all clients that are using this file and retry the drop command. To list all active clients query the GV$ASM_CLIENT fixed view in an Oracle ASM instance. An alternative option is to simultaneously use ASMCMD LSOF in each Oracle ASM instance.
