ORA-15073: Diskgroup Mounted By Another Instance

While dropping a diskgroup, error may come like ORA-15073: diskgroup mounted by another instance.

Problem :

 SQL> drop diskgroup DATA including contents;
drop diskgroup DATA including contents
*
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-15039: diskgroup not dropped
ORA-15073: diskgroup DATA is mounted by another ASM instance

Solution:

In RAC , you have to dismount the diskgroup on all the remote nodes.( except the local node) Suppose for 2 node rac, i have logged to node 2 and dismounted the diskgroup and ran the drop command on node 1.
LOGIN TO NODE2 ( WITH SYSASM)
SQL> alter diskgroup DATA dismount;

Diskgroup altered.
LOGIN TO NODE 1 ( WITH SYSASM):
SQL> drop diskgroup DATA including contents;

Diskgroup dropped.
NOTE: If you try to drop the diskgroup on the same node, where you have dismounted, then below error will come.
SQL> drop diskgroup DATA including contents;
drop diskgroup DATA including contents
*
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-15039: diskgroup not dropped
ORA-15001: diskgroup “DATA” does not exist or is not mounted

Hope it Helps!
