ORA-15041: diskgroup space exhausted

Question

Hi,
I've an Oracle Database 11g Release 11.1.0.6.0 - 64bit Production With the Real Application Clusters option.
Some days ago I was receiving the error:
unable to extend segment in tablespace system
I looked at the tablespace table and this was the situation:
+DATA/evodb/datafile/system.270.720825887                SYSTEM               0,68359375 (GB)   
+DATA/evodb/datafile/system.267.717679031                SYSTEM               1,953125 (GB)
+DATA/evodb/datafile/system.256.662113891                SYSTEM               14,775390625 (GB)
All files are autoextensible.
This was the situation of ASM diskgroup/file:
.PATH DN GROUP_NAME HEADER_STA FREE_MB OS_MB TOTAL_MB NAME FAILGROUP

/dev/asm9 7 DATA MEMBER 11389 48127 48127 DATA_0007 DATA_0007
My first doubt is:
why it was not able to extend itself as it had 3 files and 2 very small size?
Anyway I tried an alter tablespace add datafile, but:
SQL> alter tablespace system add datafile;
alter tablespace system add datafile
*+
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-01119: error in creating database file 'DATA'+
ORA-17502: ksfdcre:4 Failed to create file DATA+
ORA-15041: diskgroup space exhausted
Why I got this error? Every memeber had enough space and 1 even 52gb...
I had to had the disk asm212 at the DATA diskgroup. Then I was able to add the datafile.
Thanks in advance,
Samuel

hi,
i got this result from yr query
ASMDB_GROUP1     0     ASMDB_GROUP1_0000     20480     0     /dev/rhdisk4     UNKNOWN
ASMDB_GROUP1     1     ASMDB_GROUP1_0001     20480     0     /dev/rhdisk5     UNKNOWN
ASMDB_GROUP3     0     ASMDB_GROUP3_0000     20480     0     /dev/rhdisk8     UNKNOWN
ASMDB_GROUP3     1     ASMDB_GROUP3_0001     20480     0     /dev/rhdisk9     UNKNOWN

ASMDB_GROUP4     1     ASMDB_GROUP4_0001     20480     0     /dev/rhdisk11     UNKNOWN
it means i dont have any free space, so can i add space in group1 ?
can i add space from another diskgroup to diskgroup1 ?
DO I NEED TO shudown my databsae ?
