Known Causes

3 known causes
⚠️
Older Disk Group Creation
The disk group was initially created with an `ADVM_COMPATIBLE` attribute explicitly set to a version earlier than 12.1.
⚠️
Default ADVM Compatibility
The `ADVM_COMPATIBLE` attribute was not explicitly set during disk group creation, defaulting to a pre-12.1 value based on the ASM instance compatibility.
⚠️
ASM Instance Compatibility
The `COMPATIBLE.ASM` attribute of the Oracle ASM instance itself is set below 12.1, which can limit the maximum `ADVM_COMPATIBLE` value for disk groups.
