Solution

To resolve the problem, you can choose one of the following solutions:

1. Apply the 10.2.0.3.0 patch to resolve this issue. The bug is corrected in this patchset.

3. Workaround:

Try starting the database on one node only. That will mount the ASM diskgroups and then kill the PMON process on that node. Then restart that database to force a recovery.

The database instances should be able to open after doing the recovery.
