SWPM RAC DB instance install error on srvctl add database -d

Question

Hello,
We are currently installing a distributed NW 7.31 system with Oracle RAC on ASM.
SCS ran successfully ,and now we are trying to install db instance.
During phase 'Create database' the installation stops with error code 1.
The log is:
WARNING    2014-04-28 19:14:00.451
           CJSlibModule::writeWarning_impl()
Execution of the command "/oracle/ISP/112/bin/srvctl add database -d ISP -o /oracle/ISP/112 -p +ISP_DATA/ISP/spfileISP.ora -a ISP_DATA" finished with return code 1. Output:

****ORACLE_HOME environment variable is not set.
    ORACLE_HOME should be set to the main

    Set and export ORACLE_HOME, then re-run.

CJS-30023  Process call '/oracle/ISP/112/bin/srvctl add database -d ISP -o /oracle/ISP/112 -p +ISP_DATA/ISP/spfileISP.ora -a ISP_DATA' exits with error code 1. For details see log file(s) srvctl.log.
I don't know why the SWPM asks for the spfile if this is a fresh installation. The only file that exists is initISP.ora
Perhaps SWPM was supposed to create an spfile<SID>.ora from init<SID>.ora?
I hope someone out there has encountered this before
Best Regards,
Fabian

Hello,
I'm facing the same problem with SWPM:
An error occurred while processing option SAP NetWeaver 7.0 including Enhancement Package 2 > Software Life-Cycle Options > System Copy > Oracle > Target System Installation > Distributed System > Based on AS Java > Database Instance( Last error reported by the step: Process call '/oracle/DEP/112/bin/srvctl add database -d DEP -o /oracle/DEP/112 -p +DEVDEP01/DEP/spfileDEP.ora -a DEVDEP01' exits with error code 2. For details see log file(s) srvctl.log.)
[oracle@sapdtdb01 DB]$ cat srvctl.log
/oracle/DEP/112/bin/srvctl: line 87: dirname: No such file or directory
/oracle/DEP/112/bin/srvctl: line 94: dirname: No such file or directory

Manualy I can execute and register the db:
/oracle/DEP/112/bin/srvctl add database -d DEP -o /oracle/DEP/112 -p +DEVDEP01/DEP/spfileDEP.ora -a DEVDEP01
I updated de .bash_profile and .bashrc
PATH=$PATH:$HOME/bin:/oracle/DEP/112/bin
ORACLE_HOME=/oracle/DEP/112
ORACLE_SID=DEP
ORACLE_BASE=/oracle/DEP
GRID_HOME=/crs/product/11.2.0.3/
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/oracle/DEP/112/lib
export PATH
export ORACLE_HOME
export ORACLE_SID
export ORACLE_BASE
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH
Can you please advise?
Best regards
