ASM communication error has been reported by RDBMS which is leading to 
instance crash. This has happened couple of times in last few months. 
 
There are two kind of ASM communication error happened:
 
WARNING: ASM communication error: op 17 state 0x40 (21561)

We are seeing this kind of crash frequently causing disruption in the service 
and availability of this critical production database.

WORKAROUND:
-----------
Generally, instance crash resolves the issue but last time it led to issue 
with block recovery (kind of logical corruption) causing the all four nodes 
to hang forever. 
 

This creates a kind of hang in the system till ultimately database instance  is crashing. 

Last crash has led to some block recovery issue and finally 
we  have to deploy DUl to retrieve the data
