ORA-15260: permission denied on ASM disk group

If you are connected to your ASM instance with SYSDBA & try to add disk to your existing diskgroup then mentioned error will be appeared.

Workaround for the oracle error: ‘ORA-15260: permission denied on ASM disk group’ & ‘ORA-15032: not all alterations performed’ is to connect your ASM instance as SYSASM.

// Please consider following example, in which i was failed to alter existing ASM diskgroup with as SYSDBA: ( In my case DATA is my existing DG )
[root@database1 ~]# su – oracle
[oracle@database1 ~]$ grid_env
[oracle@database1 grid]$ echo $ORACLE_HOME
/u01/app/11.2.0/grid
[oracle@database1 ~]$ sqlplus “/ as sysdba”
