"DBCA could not startup the ASM instance configured on this node. To processd with database creation using ASM you need the ASM instance to be up and running. Do you want to recreate the ASM instance on this node?"

On 11gr2 cluster, 10.2.0.4, 11.1.0.6 and 11.1.0.7 dbca can not locate ASM files and result in ASM instance not being recongized.

Solution: Patch 8288940 is available for 10.2.0.4, 11.1.0.6 and 11.1.0.7 as a .jar file as it is platform independent.  The fix will be included in the 10.2.0.5 patchset
