[cssd(10157)]CRS-1714: Unable to discover any voting files, retrying discovery in 15 seconds

Cause:

The above error occurred in my case after reboot of RAC nodes and then we tried to bring up the cluster . We found this in alert log of node.

Issue is during the start-up of cluster, the previously created partitions on disks are not recognized by nodes.

[root@test_node02 ]# /usr/sbin/oracleasm scandisks

Reloading disk partitions: done

Cleaning any stale ASM disks...

Scanning system for ASM disks...

[root@test_node02 ]# /usr/sbin/oracleasm listdisks

[root@test_node02 ]#

Solution:

Try to recognize the disks manually as below

/etc/init.d/oracleasm stop

/etc/init.d/oracleasm start

/usr/sbin/oracleasm scandisks /dev/sdd*

[root@test_node02 ]# /usr/sbin/oracleasm listdisks

ASM_FRA03

ASM_FRA04

ASM_DATA01

ASM_DATA02

OCR01

this is one of the solution to above error.there may be other reasons also that could cause this.for my case issue is resolved after scanning the disks manually.

Cheers...!!!!
