11gR2 Grid installation error

Hi All,
I am currently trying to install the 11gR2 grid infra for cluster , First i ran the cluvfy i got the issue " exectask could not be retrieved from node "saixlab52"
" then i tried to started while installing i am getting "Internal error" and installation got aborted , below is the error i am getting in the logfiles , i have checked the first node oifcfg is there ... second node the file is not there ... seems it's not copying to the remote node ..
pls provide me any of the suggestions ..

11gR2 Grid Installation "SSH Passwordless Problem" on AIX 7.1

Hello,
The installer was able to setup passwordless SSH connection between the nodes but when I tried to test it then I got the below error:
[INS-06006] Passwordless SSH connectivity not set up between the following node(s): [node1, node2].
I tried to connect .ssh passwordless from node1 to node2. This worked.
But when i tried to connect .ssh passwordless from node2 to node1. This did not work. SSH requested for a password.
On node1 there were amongst others id_rsa, id_rsa.pub and identity and identity.pub. But on node2 there were only identity and identity.pub.
any help will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

When you configure RAC it is a mandatory task to configure the Secure Shell (SSH) passwordless connectivity between the nodes. SSH connectivity configuration is essential between the nodes of a cluster as the OUI uses the ssh and scp commands internally during the installation phase to perform remote operations in which it copies the software from the local to other nodes.
I would suggest that you try one more time the configuration. Below i am giving the steps:
1) Log in as Oracle user on the first node of the cluster (in our example, it will be on the raclinux1), and execute the following sequence of commands:
[orac1e@raclinux1 -]$ mkdir ~/.ssh
[orac1e@raclinux1 -]$ chmod 700 ~/.ssh
[orac1e@raclinux1 -]$ /usr/bin/ssh-keygen -t rsa
Generating public/private rsa key pair.
Enter file in which to save the key (/home/oracle/.ssh/id_rsa):
Enter passphrase (empty for no passphrase): Enter same passphrase again:
Your identification has been saved in /home/oracle/.ssh/id rsa.
Your public key has been saved in /home/oracle/.ssh/id_rsa.pub.
The key fingerprint is: f0:89:ac:ba:83:31:c4:43:97:3e:9a:a5:60:c1:8e:e6 [email protected]
2) When prompted for the key location, accept the default settings by hitting the Enter key. Once this setup is done on the first node, repeat the same steps on the rest of the nodes (in our example, repeat the same step on the raclinux2 node).
3) Now, switch back to the first node (raclinux1) and execute the following command to add authorization keys. After adding the authorization keys, copy the authorized_keys file to the other nodes using the scp command, and enter Yes when prompted.
[orac1e@raclinux1 -]$ cd ~/.ssh
[orac1e@raclinux1 -]$ cat id rsa.pub >> authorized_keys
[orac1e@raclinux1 -]$ scp authorized_keys raclinux2:/home/oracle/.ssh
The authenticity of host 'raclinux2 (192.168.2.202) can't be established.
RSA key fingerprint is 52:13:31:e8:ce:ec:47:b8:06:09:4b:c9:aa:c5:35:81.
Are you sure you want to continue connecting (yes/no)? yes
Warning: Permanently added 'raclinux2,192.168.2.202' (RSA) to the list of known hosts.
Oracle@raclinux2's password:
authorized keys 100% 406 0.4K8/s 00:00
4) Now, switch back to the second node, (raclinux2) and run the following command:
[orac1e@raclinux2 -]$ cd ~/.ssh
[orac1e@raclinux2 -]$ cat id rsa.pub >> authorized_keys
[orac1e@raclinux2 -]$ scp authorized_keys raclinux1:/home/oracle/.ssh
The authenticity of host 'raclinux2 (192.168.2.201) can't be established.
RSA key fingerprint is 52:13:31:e8:ce:ec:47:b8:06:09:4b:c9:aa:c5:35:81.
Are you sure you want to continue connecting (yes/no)? yes
Warning: Permanently added 'raclinux2,192.168.2.201' (RSA) to the list of known hosts.
Oracle@raclinux1's password:
authorized keys 100% 406 0.4K8/s 00:00
5) After adding the authorization keys on the second node, copy the file to the other nodes using the scp command, as demonstrated in the preceding example, and enter Yes when prompted.
6) After configuring the SSH setup successfully across all nodes, let's run the following test on each node, starting from the first node, to establish a passwordless connection between all the nodes to meet the Oracle recommendations:
ssh raclinux1 date
ssh raclinux2 date
ssh raclinux1-priv date
ssh raclinux2-priv date
ssh raclinux1-sjh.com date
ssh raclinux2-sjh.com date

Please Advise

Hi,
no I don't have PERL5LIB environment set to some value for root.
I added the path in the root.sh file to the system perl-5.8.8 include file and change the perlbin to use the system /usr/bin/perl executable and then the root.sh file did run and finished succesfully.
However other utilities have the same problems . like running asmcmd.
Do you have any idea how to fix it globally?
Thanks

Do anybody came accross this issue? I had 11gR2 Grid Infrastructure installed on this server, but for demostration to other team members, I removed the earlier installation using Metalink Note :942166.1. I will appreciate your input.

Hi,
One of the recommended solution for this issue by Oracle.
Have the DISPLAY variable set when running root.sh. This is the th recommendation by oracle to a SR opened by another vendor for this issue.

Error installing Oracle11gR2 grid installer on AIX 6.1

Hi,
I am trying to install Oracle 11gR2 RAC on AIX6.1 system using NFS. I had a successfull run of cluster verify tool and after proceeding with the grid installer i am getting following error . The error is occurring during setup part of grid installer.

Please let me know how to fix this issue.

Okay , I will check the libm.a file and probably will re install AIX. But can anyone let me know whether installing RAC on NFS file share is supported on AIX or not ? We need this setup for testing with min size databases.
These are the configuration:
OS: AIX6.1-TL-06
Oracle: 11gR2 grid & Database
NFS server : Linux NFS server. (Set up is for testing with minimal data)

11gR2 Grid Infrastucture Installation Problem on HP-UX 11.31

While installing Oracle 11gR2 Grid Infrastructure on HP-UX 11.31 it is giving error message
INS-06006: Passwordless SSH connectivity not set up between the following node(s),
but manually it is working fine from both nodes.
What to do now, any suggestion from anybody.

I had the same issue today, it took me 30 minutes to figure out how to solve it.
I had a script called by .bashrc that was setting Oracle variables and doing Echos to have a nice login prompt.
For some reason, the SSH Connectivity created a directory with the banner (!!) sounds crazy, but when i removed those files, started again, it went through.
I'd say, whenever you install this software, do not init Oracle specific environmental variables such as ORACLE_HOME, ORACLE_SID, etc.
If it still doesn't work, check Oracle Note: *How to Validate Network and Name Resolution Setup for the Clusterware and RAC [ID 1054902.1]*
Hope this helps.

11.2.0.2 Grid Installation for a Standalone Server FAILED!

OS: OEL-5.5 x86_64 (kernel-2.6.18-194.17.4.0.1.el5, glibc-2.5-49.el5_5.7)
Product: Oracle 11gR2 (11.2.0.2.0) x86_64 for Linux
Hi,
I was trying to perform a clean and full 11.2.0.2 installation for a Standalone Server (Single database + ASM + Restart), but unlike 11.2.0.1, this standalone patch, shipped as set of full installation files, has serious flaws mainly due to insane installation and configuration scripts. My environment is as follows:
ORACLE_BASE=/opt/oracle
ORACLE_HOME=/opt/oracle/product/11.2.0/db_1
GRID_HOME=/opt/oracle/product/11.2.0/grid
all owned by oracle:dba. ASMLib was configured with four 256 GB partitions on four physical disks.
1. During grid installation the Prepare, Copy files, Link binaries, Setup files, Execute Root Scripts (root.sh), Update Inventory, Oracle Net Configuration Assistant all succeeded, but ASM Configuration Assistant FAILED and installation couldn't continue. That was because root.sh script (and inside it calling scripts) changed the ownership of ORACLE_BASE and GRID_HOME to root:dba, so that admin and diag directories creations in ORACLE_BASE were not permitted. After fixing that manually as root (immediately after executing root.sh), the installation continues and succeeds.
2. During installation of Client software the error message window appears stating that cannot find the /opt/oracle/product/11.2.0/db_1/oui/bin/runInstaller.var file. By pressing the Continue button the installation continues ignoring this.
3. If Oracle Scheduler Agent is selected for installation during Client software installation, the Oracle Enterprise Manager 11g Database Control Release 11.2.0.2.0 cannot start (https problem - cannot establish connection). To fix this, I had to deinstall Client software and install it again without Oracle Scheduler Agent.
4. The Performance window in Enterprise Manager 11g Database Control Release 11.2.0.2.0 cannot display any graph ("Initializing" and "Transferring data from localhost..." never end).
Are those issues known issues? If they are, why did Oracle ship that standalone patch without testing it before? Given that prior release (11.2.0.1) was free of any errors above, it is really beyond me to figure out this negligence.

Are those issues known issues? Have you created service request ? That would be much better to be sure about the workaround you found.

11.2.0.3 grid installation fails while selecting OCFS2 for ocr files

We are installing 11GR2 (11.2.0.3) cluster on a 64 bit system. we have OCFS2 filesystem for shared devices. version 1.6.3.
While selecting ocr file locations , we get the following error
[INS-41321] Invalid oracle cluster register [OCR] Location
Cause- The installer detects that the storage type of location is not supported for Oracle Cluster registery
Action - Provide a supported storage location for the Oracle Cluster Registry
Additional information
/crp2db01/OCR/ocr_1 is not shared
However , this mountpoint is shared across both the nodes.
Note: 11201 grid installation was successful and it accepted the above locations for OCR. however ,we need 11.2.0.3 cluster for 11.2.0.3 database

As for your current problem, just because Oracle "allows" OCFS2 in a GRID environment, I would never suggest nor implement that. It adds a layer of complexity that is totally unnecessary when a GRID/ASM implementation performs circles around OCFS2. ASM is much easier to manage, maintain, expand and shrink than OCFS2. Especially at version 11.2.0.3. When working at a large telco a few years ago, we had a 300TB+ ASM environment. OCFS2 could not even begin to be that big. ASM will provide you a MUCH more stable environment than OCFS2. And with ASM there is a lot of "magic" that happens with OCR/Voting that makes your life MUCH easier. If you "require" shared application files, then use ASM/ACFS. It is a much better "volume manager" than OCFS2.
Since you must present devices to the system for OCFS2, you should not have any problems doing the same for ASM. (and don't use ASMLib as it is going away and is not necessary - just make sure you use a partition that skips the first 1M (usually cylinder 1) and you should be good to go!)
I also would not use a "shared ORACLE_HOME" on either ACFS or OCFS2. The biggest reason is that you lose the ability to do a "rolling" upgrade and when you have a VLC, that becomes much more important that saving a few GB worth of storage.
I would also pay attention to this:
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E11882_01/install.112/e22489/storage.htm#CDEDAHGB
3.1.4.2 General Storage Considerations for Oracle RAC
Use the following guidelines when choosing the storage options to use for each file type:
You can choose any combination of the supported storage options for each file type provided that you satisfy all requirements listed for the chosen storage options.
If you plan to install an Oracle RAC home on a shared OCFS2 location, then you must upgrade OCFS2 to at least version 1.4.1, which supports shared writable mmaps.
Oracle recommends that you choose Oracle ASM as the storage option for database and recovery files.
For Standard Edition Oracle RAC installations, Oracle ASM is the only supported storage option for database or recovery files.

RAC 11gR2 cluster installation: root.sh failed on the 1st node

Hi,
Does anybody know why is possible when I run the root.sh on the 1st node, during the Oracle 11gR2 RAC installation (cluster installation) to get the following error?
The following environment variables are set as:
ORACLE_OWNER= oracle
ORACLE_HOME= /oracle/grid
Enter the full pathname of the local bin directory: [usr/local/bin]:
The file "dbhome" already exists in /usr/local/bin. Overwrite it? (y/n) [n]: y
Copying dbhome to /usr/local/bin ...
The file "oraenv" already exists in /usr/local/bin. Overwrite it? (y/n) [n]: y
Copying oraenv to /usr/local/bin ...
The file "coraenv" already exists in /usr/local/bin. Overwrite it? (y/n) [n]: y
Copying coraenv to /usr/local/bin ...
Entries will be added to the /etc/oratab file as needed by
Database Configuration Assistant when a database is created
Finished running generic part of root.sh script.
Now product-specific root actions will be performed.

Hi,
it looks like the VIPs you used are already taken in your network or the name resolution on the VIP name does not return the correct IP address for the VIP, hence the problems.

Grid Installer Wizard step 9 of 10 - execute script root.sh problem

Folks,
Hello. I am installing Oracle 11gR2 RAC using 2 Virtual Machines (rac1 and rac2 whose OS are Oracle Linux 5.6)
and according to the tutorial http://appsdbaworkshop.blogspot.com/2011/10/11gr2-rac-on-linux-56-using-vmware.html
The Virtual Disk for each VM is 20 GB whose raw device is /dev/sda (partition /dev/sda1 is the same size).
In order to install Grid Infrastructure, I add 5 Hard Disks into the first VM rac1 and 10GB for each Hard Disk.
Then create 5 ASM disks respectively as a Disk Group. Let me describe them as follows:
OS Phyysical file: C:\VM_RAC\sharerac\asmdisk1.vmdk (asmdisk2.vmdk asmdisk3.vmdk asmdisk4.vmdk asmdisk5.vmdk)
Corresponding raw devices: /dev/sdb (sdc sdd sde sdf)
Corresponding partition: /dev/sdb1 (sdc1 sdd1 sde1 sdf1)
Corresponding ASM disk: ASMDISK1 (ASMDISK2 ASMDISK3 ASMDISK4 ASMDISK5)
When I run Grid installer step 5 of 8, I select all of 5 ASMDISK as ASM disk group in the Wizard.
The clusterware files are supposed to be stored in the ASM disk group.
The 2 VMs rac1 and rac2 should use the same ASM disk group.
By here, I don't do anything regarding ASM disk group in the second VM rac2.
When run the Grid Installer step 9 of 10, execute script root.sh in the 2 VMs rac1 and rac2. The script root.sh runs in the first VM rac1 successfully. But when the script root.sh runs in the second VM rac2, the error message comes up as following:
ORA-15018: disk group cannot be created.
ORA-15031: disk specification 'ORCL:ASMDISK5' matches no disks.
ORA-15031: disk specification 'ORCL:ASMDISK4' matches no disks.
ORA-15031: disk specification 'ORCL:ASMDISK3' matches no disks.
ORA-15031: disk specification 'ORCL:ASMDISK2' matches no disks.
ORA-15031: disk specification 'ORCL:ASMDISK1' matches no disks.
Configuration of ASM failed.
Did not successfully configure and start ASM.
Initial cluster configuration failed.
From the above error message, it seems that we need to connect the second VM rac2 with the ASM disk group created in rac1 so that 2 VMs use the same set of the ASM disks.
But I don't see anything about doing ASM disk group in the second VM rac2 in the tutorial
http://appsdbaworkshop.blogspot.com/2011/10/11gr2-rac-on-linux-56-using-vmware.html.
My question is:
Do any folk understand how to solve ASM disks issue in the second VM rac2 when run the script root.sh in rac2 on step 9 of 10 in Installer Wizard ?
Thanks.

Hi,
One of mandatory requirement for RAC is shared storage. Check if you have shared storage across all nodes.
Run oracleasm listdisk on node2 to see if it can see the same disks on node 1. Otherwise you didn't follow that tutorial correctly
Cheers

Installation error in invoking target 'agent nmhs'

Dear All,
I am new to this forum and I would like to inquire about the reasons behind a specific installation error of Oracle 11gR2 on Fedora 13 and the way to fix it. The error led to a weired behavior for the EM. I am going to explain everything precisely to flap the correspondence time so please please please bare with me.
I have followed precisely all the pre-requisites for preparing the installation environment (Fedora 13 Linux OS) by following the instructions in the manual that comes on the source installation Disk-1of Oracle 11g R2, like assigning the environment variables, setting kernel parameters, installation of all the required and necessary packages, creating the necessary directories and changing the owner ship, in addition to creation the user 'oracle' and the necessary groups. This installation ends up with a successful working database that can be accessed using sqlplus locally and remotely from another machine. My EM also worked but for a limited period of time for only about 10 to 15 min then after that I cannot access it due to a problem in the agent background process or daemon that is resulted from the error happened during the installation, and need to restart my machine. Here is what happened.
My installation is a stand alone database (database control / console database). Everything went smoothly during the installation except the following error that I couldn't get rid of or fix it, and I just continued the installation by clicking on the continue button of the OUI alert window. The error message on the alert window is:

After all the above, I am going to explain here how this error affected the EM. Here is the output of starting the dbconsole:

EM Daemon is not running.
Logs are generated in directory /u01/app/oracle/product/carried-desktop_orcl/sysman/log
notice the EM Daemon (agent background process) is not running
Becuase of this error, the actual status of the database is not shown up in the EM. For example, if I try to startup my database through the EM, it starts successfully, but its status will not be shown, same thing happens for the listener. Clicking the View Details link in the EM after starting up the database shows up the following:

Agent is Not Running
again notice the last line of the message Agent is not running.
After all the above, I beleive that the installation error is the cause of all that. I would appreciate it if you could help me solving this problem. Thanks.

Hi,
I have successfully installed Oracle 11g R2 after some manual intervention to solve this linker error.
The linker error actually gave the useful hint to solve this problem:
INFO: /usr/bin/ld: /home/akos/app/akos/product/11.2.0/dbhome_1/sysman/lib//libnmectl.a(nmectlt.o): undefined reference to symbol 'B_DestroyKeyObject'
/usr/bin/ld: note: 'B_DestroyKeyObject' is defined in DSO /home/akos/app/akos/product/11.2.0/dbhome_1/lib/libnnz11.so so try adding it to the linker command line
/home/akos/app/akos/product/11.2.0/dbhome_1/lib/libnnz11.so: could not read symbols: Invalid operation
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
This means that the gcc linker phase lacked an option for "-lnnz11". I run "make agent nmhs" manually,
so the last command that gave an error can be copy&pasted to the command line. Adding "-lnnz11"
after "-lcore11" to the command made it run successfully, and also re-running "make agent nmhs"
on the command line didn't fail now. Then I chose the "Retry" button in the installer GUI and it proceeded.
This change in the Fedora 13 linker was announced at
http://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/Fedora/13/html/Release_Notes/sect-Release_Notes-The_GCC_Compiler_Collection.html
In Fedora 12 and earlier it was allowed to an app with library A and the app was able to use symbols
from every other libraries (B, C, ...) that library A was linked with. In Fedora 13 this is not allowed anymore,
your app needs to be linked explicitely with library B, C, etc.
Later, there was another problem with SELinux not allowing text relocation in .../product/11.2.0/dbhome_1/lib/libclntsh.so.11.1
which was solved by running:
chcon -t textrel_shlib_t '.../product/11.2.0/dbhome_1/lib/libclntsh.so.11.1'
and re-running configuration of "Oracle Net Configuration Assistant". This allows keeping SELinux on.
After that, installation and setup of the first database succeeded on Fedora 13.

ASM LABLED DISK NOT SHOWN IN GRID INSTALLATION

Hi Guru,
Im new to oracle,just started, we are installing ORCALE 11gr2 11.2.0.3 single node cluster for an test environment on RHEL 6.2.
we installed oracle prerequisite with yum provided by oracle with following command.
yum install "oracle-rdbms-server-11gR2-preinstall" ##did all pathch,rpm & parameter set automatically.
create users oracle & grid with required group.

started grid installation with (grid, asmdba) ./runInstaller
Every things seems good till the time.
while it looks for asmdisk during installation it will not show asm labled disk there with discovery string "/dev/oracleasm/disks/*" -----"OCRL:*"
Please help, im stuck in this issue from 5 days.

Hello,
To resolve this issue, first reconfigure your ASMlib using following steps:
[root@host02 ~]# ll -ltr /dev/oracleasm/disks/ASMDISK0*
brw-rw---- 1 grid asmadmin 8, 17 May 15 11:05 /dev/oracleasm/disks/ASMDISK01
brw-rw---- 1 grid asmadmin 8, 18 May 15 11:05 /dev/oracleasm/disks/ASMDISK02
brw-rw---- 1 grid asmadmin 8, 19 May 15 11:05 /dev/oracleasm/disks/ASMDISK03
brw-rw---- 1 grid asmadmin 8, 21 May 15 11:05 /dev/oracleasm/disks/ASMDISK04
brw-rw---- 1 grid asmadmin 8, 22 May 15 11:05 /dev/oracleasm/disks/ASMDISK05
brw-rw---- 1 grid asmadmin 8, 23 May 15 11:05 /dev/oracleasm/disks/ASMDISK06
brw-rw---- 1 grid asmadmin 8, 24 May 15 11:05 /dev/oracleasm/disks/ASMDISK07
brw-rw---- 1 grid asmadmin 8, 25 May 15 11:05 /dev/oracleasm/disks/ASMDISK08
If the permission is not like this then do the following:
*[root@host02 ~]# oracleasm configure -i*
