Diskgroup not mounted during cluster startup

Question

Hi,
I have a 2 node RAC(11GR2) on VMWare 7.1.4. OS is Solaris 10
I have registered 2 instances in the cluster.
srvctl add database -d dbrac -o /u01/app/oracle/product/11.2.0/dbhome_1 -a "extdg,nordg"
srvctl add instance -d dbrac -i dbrac2 -n vmsol2
srvctl add instance -d dbrac -i dbrac1 -n vmsol1
After after registering the 2 instances, initially the instance were automatically up when ever I execute a ./crsctl start cluster.
But now the database instances on both nodes are not comming up; only ASM is up.
While checking ASM disk group, I found EXTDG and NORDG is not mounted. So I mounted the disk group and started the database.
Then I manually mounted, the disk groups and started the database.
SQL> alter diskgroup nordg mount;
Diskgroup altered
SQL> alter diskgroup extdg mount;
Later I tried removing the the database configuration from the cluster using SRVCTL and added the database to cluster again.
srvctl remove instance -d dbrac -i dbrac1
srvctl remove instance -d dbrac -i dbrac2
srvctl remove database -d dbrac
srvctl add database -d dbrac -o /u01/app/oracle/product/11.2.0/dbhome_1 -a "extdg,nordg"
srvctl add instance -d dbrac -i dbrac2 -n vmsol2
srvctl add instance -d dbrac -i dbrac1 -n vmsol1
Still database is not starting during cluster startup.
Why did the disk group is not getting mounted while cluster is starting? Can someone help me?
Regards,
Mat

Hi,
Thank you for your replay.
Disk group was mounting previously without doing any modification in spfile after executing the following commands.
srvctl add database -d dbrac -o /u01/app/oracle/product/11.2.0/dbhome_1 -a "extdg,nordg"
srvctl add instance -d dbrac -i dbrac2 -n vmsol2
srvctl add instance -d dbrac -i dbrac1 -n vmsol1
But suddenly this issue happened.
I do not have metalink access. Could you please help me?
Regards,
Mat.
