back from holidays and the first ouch on the first day. we tried to setup a clustered grid infrastructure on a solaris 10 t4-2 machine. business as usual, one might think. but when running the rootcrs.pl setup script asmca ( which in invoked from rootcrs.pl automatically ) reports:
...

...
hm. there is a support note about this behaviour ( 1416083.1 ) but there is no way to give asm parameters to rootcrs.pl or the crsconfig_params files. what we needed to do:
disable some CPUs ( so there are less than 64 available ), re-configure the cluster, adjust the asm memory parameters and then enable the cpus again. this seems to be the only workaround at the moment ( 11.2.0.4 and 12.1 should contain a fix for this ).
