We cannot change the asm instance number to a NOn-default value.
The reason for this restriction is :
If we have Non-default name to ASM instance then tools like GC and
Configuration assistants may fail in future in 11.2.
There is some code which checks for +ASM and determines this as ASM.
In 11.2 on-wards,the ASM Instance number will be assigned the order of root.sh ran.
For example :-
ie need to de-configure the CRS ,re-configure the CRS with re-creating the

For example :-
If we run the root.sh first on node B,then +ASM1 will be configured on node B ,next root.sh ran node C ,
then ASM2 will run node C .like respectively.
If we want to change the order,then we need to re-configure the cluster .then ASM2 will run node C .like respectively.
