Oracle Database Error ACFS-03731: ADVM Compatibility Level Too Low
Description
This error indicates that an Oracle Automatic Storage Management (ASM) Disk Group, specifically for ADVM (ASM Dynamic Volume Manager) operations, has a compatibility level set below the required 12.2. This prevents the auto-resize feature, which requires a minimum compatibility level of 12.2, from functioning. It typically occurs when attempting to enable or use auto-resize on an ACFS volume residing on an older disk group.
Error Message
The Oracle ADVM compatibility level for the disk group is less than the required version 12.2 for auto-resize.
Known Causes
3 known causesOutdated Disk Group Compatibility
The ASM disk group was created with an older compatibility setting (e.g., 11.2 or 12.1) that does not meet the 12.2 minimum requirement for ADVM auto-resize.
ADVM Compatibility Not Upgraded
Even if the Oracle Database software is updated, the specific ADVM compatibility level for the disk group was not explicitly upgraded or remains at a lower version.
Attempted Auto-Resize on Incompatible Disk Group
An attempt was made to enable auto-resize for an ACFS volume while its underlying disk group's ADVM compatibility level was below the required 12.2.
