Last night,
Our Red Hat Linux servers were patched by hosting provider,
after the patching completed, Oracle RAC database 11gR2 did not start.
hence I did the following:
As I could not find and asm databas running after checking with: ps -eaf | grp smon
I trid to do this:
[root@m2crh bin]# ./ocrcheck
PROT-602: Failed to retrieve data from the cluster registry
PROC-26: Error while accessing the physical storage ASM error [SLOS: cat=8, opn=kgfolclcpi1, dep=210, loc=kgfokge
AMDU-00210: No disks found in diskgroup OCR_VOTE
AMDU-00210: No disks found in diskgroup OCR_VOTE
] [8]
I tried to configure th asm again:

This will configure the on-boot properties of the Oracle ASM library

loaded on boot and what permissions it will have. The current values
will be shown in brackets ('[]'). Hitting <ENTER> without typing an

The Red hat Linux kernel version is changed and
The Red hat Linux kernel version is changed and
We need to install ASMLIB pckages related to this Kernel version.
Instructed the following to hosting provider:
1. deinstall ASMLib running "rpm -e"
2. install the correct version of ASMLib use this document: https://owa.metrixtechnologies.com/exchweb/bin/redir.asp?URL=http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/topics/linux/asmlib/index-101839.html
after they resinstalled the correct ASMLib,
Machine was rebooted and everything came up fine.
