Asm Health Checker Found 1 New Failures -

But —they often lead to DG dismounts. 7. Sample Diagnostic Script Save as asm_health_check.sql :

SET PAGES 500 COL NAME FOR A20 COL PATH FOR A40 COL FAILURE_REASON FOR A50 PROMPT Current ASM disk health: SELECT name, path, state, header_status, mount_status, failgroup FROM v$asm_disk WHERE header_status != 'MEMBER' OR state != 'NORMAL';

PROMPT Recent health check failures: SELECT check_time, failure_count, failure_reason FROM v$asm_health_checker_history WHERE check_time > SYSDATE - 1 ORDER BY check_time DESC; asm health checker found 1 new failures

sqlplus / as sysasm Check recent failures:

SELECT * FROM V$ASM_HEALTH_CHECKER_HISTORY ORDER BY CHECK_TIME DESC FETCH FIRST 10 ROWS ONLY; SELECT * FROM V$ASM_OPERATION WHERE STATE='FAILED'; But —they often lead to DG dismounts

-- Purge old health records DELETE FROM SYS.ASM_HEALTH_CHECKER_HISTORY WHERE CHECK_TIME < SYSDATE - 7; COMMIT; -- Force a fresh check EXEC DBMS_SCHEDULER.RUN_JOB('SYS.ASM_HEALTH_CHECKER_JOB', false);

WARNING: ASM Health Checker found 1 new failure Details: Disk group DATA, disk DATA_0000 is offline Connect to ASM instance: What Is the ASM Health Checker

The message “found 1 new failure” means the checker detected a new problem since its last run—this could be a missing disk, offline path, corrupt metadata, or accessibility issue. a. Check the ASM Alert Log # As grid user cd $ORACLE_BASE/diag/asm/+asm/+ASM1/trace tail -100 alert_+ASM1.log | grep -i "health\|failure\|error" Look for entries like:

PROMPT Pending operations: SELECT * FROM v$asm_operation WHERE state != 'DONE';

Here’s a deep technical guide to understanding and resolving the message in Oracle Grid Infrastructure / ASM environments. 1. What Is the ASM Health Checker? The ASM Health Checker is a background process ( ASMB or GMON -related) that periodically validates the integrity and configuration of Oracle ASM (Automatic Storage Management) disk groups, disks, and metadata. It runs automatically as part of the ASM instance or via CRSCTL utilities.
