   Hi

   I have installed ASM on the cluster. its a 2 node cluter. i have installed pfile locally.
   i am not able to start asm instance using pfile.
   startup pfile=/u01/app/admin/+ASM/pfile/init+ASM.ora
   ORA-29760: instance_number parameter not specified.
   but i have mentioned the above parameter in my pfile.
   you can find below my pfile parameter setting.
   instance_type=asm
   +ASM1.instance_name=+ASM1
   +ASM2.instance_name=+ASM2
   +ASM1.instance_number=1
   +ASM2.instance_number=2

   Daniesh,

   I think you need to have pfile name as "init+ASM1.ora"

   Hi,

   Try to put the following parameters in this pfile:
   *.cluster_database=true
   *.cluster_database_instances=2
   *.instance_type=asm
