unrecoverable error ORA-29701 raised in ASM I/O path;

ERROR: unrecoverable error ORA-29701 raised in ASM I/O path; terminating process 9830432 

Thu Jul 28 17:02:07 2016 ERROR: unrecoverable error ORA-29701 raised in ASM I/O path; terminating process 

This error was recently noticed when one of our unix admin accidentally cleaned the files in /tmp folder on AIX server.. he had deleted/removed the .oracle  folder and its files(hidden files).
This should not be done when oracle is up and running....

Soln:-
when you see this error .. make sure you shutdown oracle and asm/agent as you can.... And ask the Unix admin to bounce the server/reboot....once it is up.. you can try to start the oracle resources.. it should start with no issues...


Hope this Helps....
