Problem in ASM Disk Groups / Instance startup

Question

Hi,
I got ORA-15041 when trying to add a datafile to a tablespace in 11gR2 RAC in RHEL 5.4.
In order to solve that, I would do a ALTER DISKGROUP .. RESIZE DISK command.
But to do that, I think I should startup an ASM instance.
I created a file /tmp/init+ASM.ora (with INSTANCE_TYPE=ASM), connected to an idle instance, created an spfile from pfile = '/tmp/init+ASM.ora';
When I try to startup nomount, I get ORA-01031.
Any idea?
Thanks
