But it wasn't confirmed that these is the only things that can cause this problem to occur, as it had been found that on Other hardware and configuration The problem might occur, the key change in this issue is if the disk size presented From the storage to the cluster nodes is not dividable by 4K the problem should occur.
Cause
This issue are addressed in bug:4679769 which states, that's a known issue with the Clusterware installation on PLATFO Rms:linux x86, x86-64 and "IBM Power Based Linux".

1. Download patch:4679769 from Metalink (contains a patched version of Clsfmt.bin).
2. Do the following steps as stated in the patch README to fix the problem:
Note:clsfmt.bin need only being replaced on the 1st node of the the cluster
# Patch Installation Instructions:
