Changing Hostname in a Standalone DB Configuration with ASM

Grid infrastructure software is required to setup ASM in a standalone DB configuration. GI has hostname dependent directory paths and components. Changing the hostname in a such configuration requires re-configuring the GI software after the hostname has been changed. This post list the steps for changing the hostname in a standalone DB configuration with ASM.
The current hostname is rhel7.domain.net and this will changed to rhel7s.domain.net
In certain systems (in this case OS RHEL 7.0, kernel 3.10.0-123.el7.x86_64, Oracle 11.2.0.4) may run in to following error due to perl version related issues. Solution for this is to use the perl binary provided with GI.
$GI_HOME/crs/install/roothas.pl -deconfig -force
Can't locate Env.pm in @INC (@INC contains: /usr/local/lib64/perl5 /usr/local/share/perl5 /usr/lib64/perl5/vendor_perl /usr/share/perl5/vendor_perl /usr/lib64/perl5 /usr/share/perl5 . /opt/app/oracle/product/11.2.0/grid/crs/install) at /opt/app/oracle/product/11.2.0/grid/crs/install/crsconfig_lib.pm line 710.

BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at /opt/app/oracle/product/11.2.0/grid/crs/install/roothas.pl line 171.
The MOS notes mention to change the hostname and then de-configure but this fails with the following error
export ORACLE_HOME=$GI_HOME
$GI_HOME/perl/bin/perl $ORACLE_HOME/crs/install/roothas.pl -deconfig -force
Using configuration parameter file: /opt/app/oracle/product/11.2.0/grid/crs/install/crsconfig_params
Can't open /etc/oracle/scls_scr/rhel7s/grid/ohasdstr for write: No such file or directory at /opt/app/oracle/product/11.2.0/grid/crs/install/s_crsconfig_lib.pm line 1386.
Reason is that deconfig option is looking for a directory path that does not exists
# ls /etc/oracle/scls_scr/
rhel7
It maybe possible to rename this directory and run the deconfig. But instead the deconfig was run (as root) without changing the hostname (reverting to original hostname).

Add the ASM and set auto start option to 1. In this case the ASM Spfile was not residing in a ASM diskgroup.
