It was so frustrating cuz i couldn't figure out why.&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;FONT color=#3333dd&gt;Go through this post throughly to see the fix for it.   Also,  make sure if you have data on that disk to BE CAREFUL!!!  If you want to loose the data then only follow these steps.  In my case, it was brand new install so I really didn't care as long as my ASM instance was able to see the disk correctly.&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;BR&gt;&lt;FONT color=#113333&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;SQL&amp;gt; alter diskgroup SHARED_DATA_DG01 mount;&lt;BR&gt;alter diskgroup SHARED_DATA_DG01 mount&lt;BR&gt;*&lt;BR&gt;ERROR at line 1:&lt;BR&gt;ORA-15032: not all alterations performed&lt;BR&gt;ORA-15036: disk '/oracle/devices/asm_data_002' is truncated&lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;FONT color=#3333dd&gt;I queried the ASM instance and found something weird.

DOC ID: &lt;STRONG&gt;553319.1 &lt;/STRONG&gt;There is a command that they have which you can use to verify the disk size and compare it to what should be on the OS size.   The command is kfed.

This should be the size of your disk.  This is how oracle recognizes it.  Remember, don't use this command unless you absolutely exhausted all other options.  Talk to oracle because they say that this command might damage your disks.  :)   Careful.&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;FONT color=#3333dd&gt;Anyhow, for me it matched fine.   So i saw another article and tought to give it a try.   It was asking me to write to the diskgroup by cleaning it up using this command:   &lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;FONT color=#113333&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt; dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/vx/rdsk/asm_dg/asm_dg_002 bs=1024k count=100&lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;FONT color=#113333&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;100+0 records in&lt;BR&gt;100+0 records out&lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;FONT color=#3333dd&gt;That one solved my problem.  If you still have issues, i suggest you now contact your SA and have them reformat your disks and fix it on their end.&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;BR&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;FONT color=#113333&gt;SQL&amp;gt;&lt;BR&gt;SQL&amp;gt; shutdown immediate;&lt;BR&gt;ASM diskgroups dismounted&lt;BR&gt;ASM instance shutdown&lt;BR&gt;SQL&amp;gt; startup&lt;BR&gt;ASM instance started&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;FONT color=#113333&gt;Total System Global Area  700448768 bytes&lt;BR&gt;Fixed Size                  2032736 bytes&lt;BR&gt;Variable Size             673250208 bytes&lt;BR&gt;ASM Cache                  25165824 bytes&lt;BR&gt;ASM diskgroups mounted&lt;BR&gt;SQL&amp;gt; shutdown immediate;&lt;BR&gt;ASM diskgroups dismounted&lt;BR&gt;ASM instance shutdown&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;FONT color=#3333dd&gt;Good luck.
