Why cannot I see my ASM disks in Oracle?

The Sysadmin gave me the disks

[oracle@bnordb2 asm]$ sudo /etc/init.d/oracleasm listdisks
Password:
VOL1
VOL2

So  oracleasm can the luns.

When I run
SQL> SELECT group_number, disk_number, mount_status, header_status, state, path
  2  FROM   v$asm_disk
 I get no rows.

inittab has
h1:35:respawn:/etc/init.d/init.cssd run >/dev/null 2>&1
I am doing something stupid, can anyone help?

Solution: Why cannot I see my ASM disks in Oracle?

Yes, I'm pretty sure. Which is why I am curious if you are using an spfile and not a regular init file? Can you confirm that you don't have an spfile?

The whole point here is to find why Oracle's default kept it from discovering the disks. Your init file that you posted here did not include the asm_diskstring, so I was curious, was your server even using that init file or was it using the spfile?
