KFED-00322: Invalid content encountered during block traversal: [kfbtTraverseBlock][Invalid OSM block type][][0
2) Above, kfed is reporting that the “ASMRECO03” disk was overlapped by the OS, it shows “EFI PART” which is OS partition metadata:
7FC18D899600 20494645 54524150 00010000 0000005C [EFI PART....\...]
3) The underlying disks associated to the “ASMRECO03” ASMLIB disk was reformatted by root and assigned to the OS filesystem.
4) This action corrupted/destroyed the RECO diskgroup for sure.
SOLUTION
Diskgroup needs to be recreated due to the “ASMRECO03” disk was overlapped by the OS filesystem.
