Can't start EM after adding node to cluster

Hi, I don't know if i choose the right forum. I have a problem with OEM after adding node to the cluster: It gives me an error:
[oracle@nodedc3 bin]$ emctl start dbconsole
Can't do setuid (cannot exec sperl)I think i can be a permissions issue like it was in my second thread. Thanks

Hi, i have this package installed:
[root@nodedc3 ~]# yum install perl-suidperl
Loaded plugins: fastestmirror
Loading mirror speeds from cached hostfile
* base: centos.mirror.linuxwerk.com
* extras: ftp.plusline.de
* updates: mirror.optimate-server.de
Setting up Install Process
Package 4:perl-suidperl-5.8.8-40.el5_9.x86_64 already installed and latest version
Nothing to doOEM on other nodes works perfectlly. Thanks

  • Can't Start Portal After Install

    After downloading and installing the of evaluation Portal 4.0 SP1, I get the following message upon startup when I enter the system password that I entered during installation:

    I even tried "weblogic" for the system password and I get the same message.
    What password should I use to start the server?

    I've followed the directions and am experiencing the exact same problem. Brand
    new installation of Weblogic server 6.1 SP2 with examples. That install is working.
    Then added Portal 4.0 SP1, updated the license file and I have the same issue
    with the Illegal access exception resulting in the "Fatal initialization exception"....
    Hmm!

    Below listed are the common errors you run into during installation

    - You need to have the correct version numbers of both the weblogic

    copy) will only run on WebLogic 6.1 SP1. So check the edocs for
    supported platforms
    - Make sure you have the installed the full version of the weblogic
    server (including examples)
    - Finally, you need to run the UpdateLicense.cmd file to update the
    license.bea under ur Bea Root
    Give it a shot after u have checked all of the above three - goodluck

  • Can't start Tomcat after installing Bea WorkShop for JSP

    Hi,
    I have been using Eclipse SDK Version: 3.1.2 Build id: M20060118-1600 and Web Tools Project 1.0.2 and Tomcat 5.0 and Tomcat 5.5 for about 2 months with no problems. But now I Can't start Tomcat after installing Bea WorkShop for JSP plug-in. I get "Server Tomcat v5.0 @ localhost failed to start". Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    I installed BEA Workshop for JSP Version: 3.1.0
    Build id: 536. I only wanted to install the plug-in to my existng Eclipse 3.1 / WTP application. The only option that I saw was to download the entire FullWorkshopFreeInstall-536.zip, which is 192,496 KB. During the installation, there is a screen that you can specify to only install the plug-in - and I selected that option. Today, I chose to uninstall the BEA Workshop for JSP and then I was again able to start Tomcat server. I then did a complete install of BEA Workshop for JSP into a totally separate location. My original Eclipse installation still works fine, but my Workshop for JSP Version (which is now a completely new installation) has the same problem with Tomcat that I reported with the plug-in. I am using j2sdk1.4.2_08 and have tried both Tomcat 5.0 and Tomcat 5.5. I have the same problem with both Windows XP Home Edition and Windows XP Professional.
    Thanks for your assistance.

  • Adding nodes to cluster in 10g r2 10.1.0.3

    I apologize if this is a repeat but my browser crashed before I could watch my post. I am asking a hypothetical question regarding adding nodes to the cluster. I am trying to get a feel for how much risk is involved in the operation and if there is any chance we could corrupt the current configuration?
    I was reading the article from Murali Vallath and notice that he made it a point to say that you should make a full cold backup before you perfrom step 6...
    Step 6: Add New Instance(s)
    DBCA has all the required options to add additional instances to the cluster.
    Requirements:
    Make a full cold backup of the database before commencing the upgrade process.
    Is there risk of corrupting the database during this step?
    We are running 10.2.0.3 on linux Itanium on RHEL4 and we are running a 2 node cluster. We are using OCFS2 for the OCR and Voting devices and we are using ASM and also ASMLIB for our shared storage option. We also are running EMC Powerpath on our hosts.
    Any tips or heads up would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks.

  • How can I view the newly added node in a JTree

    Hi! I have a problem with my project. I set up a JTree. At first it has a node that contains FARInfo object. When I click this node, the other program in the package will pop up a form to let user input and submit, then it will add a new node into the other node. The new node will contain FilledInfo object. But I cannot view this newly added node. The source code related with the 2 different object is as following:
    tree.addTreeSelectionListener( new TreeSelectionListener()
    public void valueChanged(TreeSelectionEvent e4)
    DefaultMutableTreeNode node = ( DefaultMutableTreeNode )
    (tree.getLastSelectedPathComponent ());
    Object nodeInfo = node.getUserObject();
    if (node.isLeaf())
    if ( nodeInfo instanceof FARInfo )
    FARInfo category = (FARInfo) nodeInfo;
    displayURL ( category.categoryURL );
    displayForm ( category.farFormName );
    if ( DEBUG )
    System.out.print ( category.categoryURL + ":\n" );
    else if ( nodeInfo instanceof FilledInfo )
         FilledInfo category2 = ( FilledInfo ) nodeInfo;      
         displayFilledForm ( category2.num );
    }else
    return;
    My question is: how to deal with the nodes containing 2 different objects: FARInfo and FilledInfo? FilledInfo is created by the other program in the package. Thanks for your help!

    I used insertNodeInto() to inser a new node into the tree, and it can be displayed. But when I used addTreeSelectionListener() to click on the newly added node, it cann not reaspond the click. Following is my original addTreeSelectionListener(). You see, if you click a node of FARInfo, then it will open a form, and after user filled in and submit it, a new node will be added into the Jtree. If you click a node of FilledInfo, then the user should view the content of this new node. But now, it seems that the sencond click cannot work. Thanks for your help.
    tree.addTreeSelectionListener( new TreeSelectionListener()
    public void valueChanged(TreeSelectionEvent e4)
    DefaultMutableTreeNode node = ( DefaultMutableTreeNode )
    (tree.getLastSelectedPathComponent ());
    Object nodeInfo = node.getUserObject();
    if (node.isLeaf())
    if ( nodeInfo instanceof FARInfo )
    FARInfo category = (FARInfo) nodeInfo;
    displayURL ( category.categoryURL );
    displayForm ( category.farFormName );
    if ( DEBUG )
    System.out.print ( category.categoryURL + ":\n" );
    else if ( nodeInfo instanceof FilledInfo )
    FilledInfo category2 = ( FilledInfo ) nodeInfo;
    displayFilledForm ( category2.num );

  • Cannot start AdminServer after adding weblogic user to OID

    Hi.
    We have two OIDs: one is used in the production env, the other in dev.
    I succeeded in configuring SOA-dev and OID-dev so that worklist users get authenticated against OID-dev.
    Moreover I added the weblogic user to OID-dev following this guide (http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E15523_01/integration.1111/e10224/bp_worklist.htm#insertedID2), so that weblogic can login and administer the worklist.
    I repeated the steps in PROD env (for SOA-prod and OID-prod) but after adding weblogic to OID-prod I cannot start AdminServer-prod:
    <Mar 10, 2011 5:31:01 PM CET> <Critical> <Security> <BEA-090404> <User weblogic is not permitted to boot the server; The server policy may have changed in such a way that the user is no longer able to boot the server.Reboot the server with the administrative user account or contact the system administrator to update the server policy definitions.>
    <Mar 10, 2011 5:31:01 PM CET> <Critical> <WebLogicServer> <BEA-000386> <Server subsystem failed. Reason: weblogic.security.SecurityInitializationException: User weblogic is not permitted to boot the server; The server policy may have changed in such a way that the user is no longer able to boot the server.Reboot the server with the administrative user account or contact the system administrator to update the server policy definitions.
    weblogic.security.SecurityInitializationException: User weblogic is not permitted to boot the server; The server policy may have changed in such a way that the user is no longer able to boot the server.Reboot the server with the administrative user account or contact the system administrator to update the server policy definitions.

    at weblogic.t3.srvr.SubsystemRequest.run(SubsystemRequest.java:64)
    Truncated. see log file for complete stacktrace
    Anyway, configuring SOA-prod to use OID-dev (simply switching OID ip address) makes things work.
    If I enable SSL between SOA-prod and OID-prod I can start the servers but I cannot login into the worklist. The same in DEV: enabling SSL between OID-dev and SOA-dev does not influence server boot but I cannot login into the worklist.
    I think the problem is related to SSL configurtaion in OID-prod but since it's 10g there is no orclsslinteropmode to disable (required to worklistapp).
    SOA is 11.1.1.2 and OID 10g.
    Any suggestions?
    Thanks for your precious help,
    Michael

    Hi Anuj.
    Thank you very much for you help.
    My situation is a bit different: we do not want to use two OIDs at the same time.
    In PROD the order of auth providers is
    1. OIDAuth-prod
    2. DefaultAuthenticator
    whereas in DEV it is:
    1. OIDAuth-dev
    2. DefaultAuthenticator
    Id DEV server boot and worklist login are ok.
    OIDs are v10.1.2.3 but OID-prod is updated with the latest security patches (of Oct 2010). I will raise a SR.
    Thanks again,
    Michael

    How silly of me.....first of all...I entered 'mysqld start', I should have just entered 'mysqld', second of all, I didn't change the file permission on /var/run/mysqld. I change /var/run/mysqld file permission into 'chmod 777 /var/run/mysqld -R', after that mysql works!

  • Can't start up after disconnect ethernet network of 2 macs

    I tried conecting 2 macs via ethernet. Personal file sharing was turned on with both. Printer sharing seemed not to work, so that was disabled on both. Ethernet cable from systems to router connected to cable modem. Seemed to work well for my purpose -- access to second drive on old 733 G4.
    Before I disconnected the ethernet cable, I turned off file sharing on both machines. They seemed to run fine after disconnect. Then turned off the G4.
    I left the iMac running with some software active for one day while away from home. Returned to see blank screen. Moved trackball to wake from what I thought was display sleep but nothing happened.
    Install disk (10.4.4) will start up machine, but cannot install to the internal drive since it is not seen. Disk Utility shows drive, but no volume to repair disk.
    My question: Can I start up my iMac in a way to bypass looking for a network startup and see the internal drive?
    20" iMac Core Duo 2.0 Ghz   Mac OS X (10.4.6)  

    "Target Mode will only work with ATA disks"
    No, that is not correct, also works with SATA, which is in all Intel Macs. However, I think I recall that both computers need to be updated to the same Mac OS X version, such as 10.4.6
    Apple article Startup key combinations for Intel-based Macs
    Apple article with example of Firewire Target Disk usage with Intel Macs
    Back to attempting normal startup:
    hold down the "option" key instead of the x key above, and hold until the disk option you want to select appears. From my experience, the iMac Intel will show the startup disc choices quickly, within less than a minute under normal conditions, much quicker than the G5's.

  • Can't start RoboHelp5 after I used trial of RH6

    I installed the trial version of RH6 on my computer. (Before
    doing so, I made backups of my project, in case of non
    compatibility with RH5). After the trial period I decided not to
    buy it yet and uninstalled RH6, because I couldn't find important
    differences (at least not concerning the functions I'm using) and
    because the font problem (conversion from Arial to Times, even with
    the Adobe patch and after uninstalling alle security updates for
    Office) was the same with RH6.
    Now I can't start my projects at all. When I try to start the
    RH Explorer I get a message, that the registry AppPath can't be
    read. I uninstalled both: Office and RH completely, reinstalled
    Office 2003, then RoboHelp, but the same problem is appearing.
    Even the projects I saved as backup and that I never opened
    in RH6 don't work any more.
    Any idea what I can do? (can there be hidden elements of RH6
    which are not deleted automatically, when uninstalling with the
    Software menu in my control panel?)

    On my site there is a topic about installing and
    uninstalling. In it there is reference to an Adobe topic covering a
    full uninstall which does require some registry editing. That was
    written for X5 but I think it will cover RH6. I cannot guarantee
    that though.
    Make sure you create a System Restore point before you start
    playing with the registry and only do that if you feel confident.
    If not, enlist some help from IT or a developer.

  • Can't start apache after linking mod_wl_20.so in the https.conf

    I get a segementation fault when trying to start apache after i have linked the apache plug-in.
    Anyone ever run into this?
    I fails whether the <IfModule> statement is there or not.

    Appreciate your response. This is all I have done.
    Installed IHS 2.0.47, copied mod_wl_20.so file to modules directory and made one entry in httpd.conf:
    LoadModule weblogic_module modules/mod_wl_20.so
    IHS core dumps on when tried to startup. This is all that is documented in the "Using Web Server Plug-Ins with WebLogic Server" document. Please let me know if I am missing any additional information. Thanks! i would appreciate if you can email me your httpd.conf file for my reference. Thanks!

  • Can't start UCSM after java upgrade

    Hi
    After I have been recommended to upgrade to newest java, I can't start UCS Manager anymore.
    I try from a Windows 7 64 Bits computer and a Windows 8 64 Bits computer.
    Same error.
    As you see, I have java 1.7.0_07. It is higher than the reguirement.
    UCSM version is 2.0(2q)
    Because there is some security issues with earlier java versions, I don't want to downgrade.
    Do anyone have any solution on this problem?
    I have uninstalled every version of Java, and just installed the newest, but it didn't help
    Thanks for any help.

    Hi Sting,
    For you to use 1.7 you need to have UCSM version 2.0.3a and above.
    http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/unified_computing/ucs/release/notes/OL_25363.html
    (check the system requirement section).
    At this point, the only option for you is to downgrade back to a 1.6 version.

  • Can't start up after power failure.

    Greetings.
    Here in the Santa Cruz mountains we experience occasional power outages. After an outage, when I attempt to re-start the computer, it doesn't get past the spinning spokes (or whatever you call that thing). The thing just keeps spinning until I press the power button, shut the computer off, and re-start. After one or two tries, it starts up, but I'd like to know how to prevent the problem in the first place.

    The first thing you should do after an abnormal shutdown is boot from your OS X Installer Disc and use Disk Utility to repair both the hard drive and permissions.
    There are two ways to prevent a problem like this:
    1. Buy an external Firewire drive and backup software. Maintain a bootable backup of your system on the external drive. Update incrementally on a regular schedule - Daily for your work files; weekly for the entire system.
    2. Buy an Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) with sufficient capacity to keep your system running long enough for you to shutdown normally until power is restored. Usually this means a UPS with enough capacity for about 10 minutes of operating time on battery. Of course you can buy as much capacity as you are willing to spend money for if you want longer operating times during blackouts.
