“Create ASM Disk Group” no candidate disks to choose from

A blank list of candidate disks to choose from in "Create ASM Disk Group":
Check the path of the disks and permissions have been granted to them.
From the Grid Infrastructure Installation Guide (Solaris 11gR2):
# chown grid:asmadmin /dev/rdsk/cxtydzs4
# chmod 660 /dev/rdsk/cxtydzs4
Verify the setting with:
# ls -lL /dev/rdsk/cxtydzs4
Correct permissions:
$ ls -lL /dev/rdsk/c0d[2345]s0
crw-rw----   1 grid     asmadmin 117, 16 Aug 28 16:32 /dev/rdsk/c0d2s0
crw-rw----   1 grid     asmadmin 117, 24 Aug 28 16:32 /dev/rdsk/c0d3s0
crw-rw----   1 grid     asmadmin 117, 32 Aug 28 16:32 /dev/rdsk/c0d4s0
crw-rw----   1 grid     asmadmin 117, 40 Aug 28 16:32 /dev/rdsk/c0d5s0
Refresh list of candidate disks and they now appear.
