any help greatly received ;)

Heres our setup -

Software -
RHEL4 Update 2
kernel 2.6.9-22 
Oracle 10.1.0.4

Hardware -
HP Integrity RX4640 IA64 server
ASM using disks on an EVA6000

Problem -
ASM randomly loses access to it's disks. It knows the disks are there but
cannot write to them.
We discovered that by stopping and restarting the init.cssd service in
/etc/inittab ASM sorted itself out.
Here is the line from /etc/inittab -

h1:35:respawn:/etc/init.d/init.cssd run >/dev/null 2>&1 </dev/null

This is the only way (without a reboot) that we have found to get ASM
working again. The DBA's say there are no error messages from oracle and I
can't find any on the system.

When we get the problem cssd is still running (as it should respawn anyway)
but a clean stop/start of it with 'init q' fixes the ASM problem
(temporarily).

The DBA's have raised a tar but not received a response in over a week. If
we cant resolve the issue we will have to run oracle without ASM.

Any help you can offer would be appreciated.

Cheers,
Nick .
