After scrutinizing the ASM configuration,i found out that asm was not added to cluster confoguration

[oracle@dbadb01 ~]$ srvctl config asm
PRCR-1001 : Resource ora.asm does not exist

Solution:

Add the asm resource to the cluster configuration

[oracle@dbadb01 ~]$ srvctl add asm

Check if ora.asm resource reflect

[oracle@dbadb01 ~]$ crsctl stat res -t
