After playing around with this, we finally got it to work. Thanks, LSC!!
We had some other issues because we had restored the ocr and had some orphaned databases, but after cleaning them up, ASM is finally removed.

I'll have a better writeup later when I have more time. I still want to know how this became corrupt in the first place.

by the way

try this

crs_stop ora.xxx3.ASM3.asm -f

then use srvctl remove asm

I posed this question over at the oracle ASM forum as well.

We are trying to wipe out ASM. We have been trying to follow a couple metalink notes, and threads both here and in oracle-l, not to mention reading some books (K Gopal and Julian Dyke). Google is not giving us much help, either.

We had a couple RAC databases, but those have already been removed, and the shared ASM disks have been wiped clean (with dd). We have not touched the OCR or voting disks directly at all, only via srvctl and the crs commands. I have removed as many dependencies as I can think of (entry in oratab, running processes, ?dump directories).

Oracle EE 10.2.0.3 running on RHEL4. Below are a series of commands we have used. I attempted to find the "CRS daemon log file", but it is not updated with any relevant information. The ocssd log file has some interesting stuff, but nothing that leads me to a solution.

As always, I am hoping the answer to this trickiness is easy and staring me in the face. =)
