Error Message
2011/04/29 11:41:00 VCS INFO V-16-20002-259 (ngcs7) ASMDG:ASM_asmdg01:monitor:Agent unable to identify state of the ASMDG resource. The asm_diskstring parameter is not set correctly in the ASM initialization parameter file. (2)
2011/04/29 11:41:00 VCS ERROR V-16-20002-258 (ngcs7) ASMDG:ASM_asmdg02:monitor:Agent unable to identify state of the resource. (The sql output returned is: (Enter password: ))
Cause
Clear text strings for user/password is deprecated.
The “Enter Password: “ prompt appears in the output only when the password is NULL.
When one enters a cleartext password, the agent can’t decrypt it and uses a blank string.
Therefore, an extra line “Enter Password:” gets appended for every operation tried on the resource.
Due to a mismatch in the number of lines in the output, the agent assumes that there is an error.
group orasm_vxvm_grp01 (
SystemList = { ngcs7 = 1, ngcs8 = 2 }

)
Resolution
>>>>>Unset the DBAUser and DBAPword for ASMDG:
hares -modify ASM_dg_res_name DBAUser ''

>>>>>Use vcsencrypt to encrypt the password for ASM user.
# /opt/VRTSvcs/bin/vcsencrypt –agent
Enter New Password:#
>>>>> Verify the new DBAUser and DBAPword should be empty
hares -display ASM_dg_res_name
