Bug while adding space with ASM

We were attempting to add space to a volume on the fly with ASM, yet the change wasn't successful because the system would hang on the “service oracleasm scandisks” command.  After trying to make the change a second time and it hung again, the DBA was able to find a bug related to this on My Oracle Support so we had our Storage team open an SR with Oracle to confirm that we are encountering the bug as detailed below:

Bug 7576680 : ASM - ORACLEASM SCANDISKS (ASMSCAN) HANGS

Oracle confirmed that we were encountering the issue in the bug, and we were required to reboot our servers before they would be able to see the volumes being presented by ASM.  So a. be warned and b. tomorrow we'll explore why this would be a big issue for us.
