Cause

This is internal/unpublished Bug 19555017 - GARBAGE CHARACTERS IN ASMMODESTATUS, ASMDEACTIVATIONOUTCOME FIELDS:

REDISCOVERY INFORMATION:

If asmmodestatus ever shows up as garbage characters via cellcli, this bug may still exist.

WORKAROUND:

None

The error is specific to Sparc Supercluster environments and only occurs when the DB node has different endianness than the storage cell.

This error will not occur on a Exadata system running Solaris X86 as the endianness is the same.

Solution

This bug is fixed in the latest image of Storage cell Software (12.1.2.1.0 or later).
