All the information I've seen on this issue is always in regards to running a query via some other utility (e.g. TOAD); however, I am seeing this issue when I simply try to select * from v$asm_disk;
on the SQLPLUS
command line. I am running the query as SYSDBA
and it fails. If I log in to the ASM instance as SYSASM, I am able to run select * from v$asm_disk;
. I have two boxes with identical OS and kernel versions, that were set up in the same manner.
Ultimately the issue comes from not being able to query the underlying fixed view which is used to create this view, X$KFDSK_STAT
. On one server, as SYSDBA I can query that view, and on the other, I cannot.
Has anyone seen this before?
Thanks

From what I’ve found, there is a special character in the label on the instance that doesn't work and throwing the error.
