/etc/init.d/oracleasm configure do not create /dev/oracleasm mountpoint

Question

Dear All,
I have to put my question like this, I am following humter_rac10gr2_iscsi. I have done everything as per documentation and the results so far have been ok. When i come to the part where we have to create ASM volumes and when i after installing asm library give the following command:
/etc/init.d/oracleasm configure
The commd runs sucessfully but misses the folling line that is in documentation:
Creating /dev/oracleasm mount point: [OK]
Because of this miss I guess last time when i reached the poing during dbca database creation where it shows ASM volumes, it did not discover any ASM volumes and i was stuck at this point.
Kindly help me on this?

Hello,
Well i run /etc/init.d/oracleasm configure command as root user.
Yesh I have just checked i can cd to /dev/oracleasm/disks and can find
VOLl VOL2 VOL3 VOL4 there
I have delete first and then create ASM volumes and now i can scan and list then from both nodes.
/etc/init.d/oracleasm status says that
Checking if ASM is loaded: [OK]
Checking if /dev/oracleasm is mounted: [OK] :)
But id did not show it during configuration and similary when i run dbca at the screen where to specify volumes, nothing is there even when i cange disk path to ORCL:VOL* there is nothing....
Kindly help with the dbca configurations so that it pick up the ASM VOLUMES.
Regards,
Imran
