Asm Health Checker Found 1 New Failures Direct

WARNING: ASM Health Checker found 1 new failure Details: Disk group DATA, disk DATA_0000 is offline Connect to ASM instance:

Here’s a deep technical guide to understanding and resolving the message in Oracle Grid Infrastructure / ASM environments. 1. What Is the ASM Health Checker? The ASM Health Checker is a background process ( ASMB or GMON -related) that periodically validates the integrity and configuration of Oracle ASM (Automatic Storage Management) disk groups, disks, and metadata. It runs automatically as part of the ASM instance or via CRSCTL utilities.

But —they often lead to DG dismounts. 7. Sample Diagnostic Script Save as asm_health_check.sql : asm health checker found 1 new failures

The message “found 1 new failure” means the checker detected a new problem since its last run—this could be a missing disk, offline path, corrupt metadata, or accessibility issue. a. Check the ASM Alert Log # As grid user cd $ORACLE_BASE/diag/asm/+asm/+ASM1/trace tail -100 alert_+ASM1.log | grep -i "health\|failure\|error" Look for entries like:
