Clusterware problem

We had problems on clusterware and the clusterware is not coming up after reboot. We checked all possibilities. Tested everything.. vote disk,ocr,vip,pub ip etc. We have a SR with Oracle, and no solution yet.
it is a 2 node RAC on 11gR1 on Linux. Looks like something internally broken as multiple people were working on this issue. The current situation is that the logs are also not updated when we try to start clusterware.
We dont want to wait till support gives resolution. We want to try alternative. What are the solution for fresh installation on the second node. Can we do delete node...add node etc
please suggest.

Hi,
Can you please let us know the problem when you trying to restart the crs
please give the below details:
1. what is the cluster version
2. what is the error you are getting while restarting the cluster
3. if you want to install the cluster again first you need to deinstall and remove the cluster and you can start the installation.
4.please give the blow output
crs_stat -t
crsctl check crs
crsctl start crs
Thanks

  • Oracle 10g to 11g Upgrade - Oracle Clusterware problem

    Oracle10g RAC (2 Nodes) RHEL 4 64bit
    Hi All,
    I have began the procedure for upgrading Oracle Clusterware to 11g. However, during the install OUI was giving me certain error messages like it couldn't transfer the OUI installlogs to node 2. Well, I kept pushing through the install and after I ran the last rootupgrade script on node 2 it gave me the following error:

    So I ignored the error for the time being and after that I checked the status of crs and it gave me the following:

    I am thinking that all of this is caused by the various issues I had with the install. If I am incorrect, then please let me know. If it is true, I would like to know if there are any 11g docs on how to clean up a failed clusterware upgrade. Any advice would be greatly appreciated on any of the situations I am having.
    Thank you

    Hi Chandra,
    Did CVU report any problems before the upgrade?No, there were no errors reported by CVU before the upgrade.
    I don't there is note out there for cleaning 11g CRS
    install...and I think can very use the 10g CRS note -
    239998.1.Yeah I might have to go that way.
    I have both the 11g CRS install and upgrade from 10g
    to 11CRS at
    http://chandradba.blogspot.com/2007/08/oracle-11g-rac-
    install-on-red-hat-50.html
    and
    http://chandradba.blogspot.com/2008/02/oracle-10g-crs-
    upgrade-to-11g-crs.html
    see if it helps.Yup, your guide is very simple, clear and error proof :) That's how mine when pretty much except right around 75% I started getting these strange errors of files not being able to be transferred to node 2. Anyways, it shouldn't be a problem as none of those errors were configuration related...or else I would have a messed up cluster.
    Well, I actually rebooted both machines and now the whole CRS stack is up!! So I guess I am ok. We'll just have to wait and see.
    Thanks for your help Chandra...I always appreciate it.

    rac1 node database is accessible, though I would like to know how to resolve the clusterware problem.

    Hi Yakub,
    is this problem persistent? Does it happen every time you start node1 or is this the status after the last start?
    What happened is that Oracle Clusterware got the impression that the RAC instance on node1 was not started according to some tests in the action script that is used to start the instance. Actually, some operations did not return in a timely fashion (hence, the time out in the crsd.log). According to what you said, the instance was however started - I presume a ps -ef would show that and connections against this instance are possible!?
    Now, since Oracle Clusterware encountered some time outs, it cannot determine the state of the instance correctly and therefore declares the state of the resource (your rac instance) as UNKNOWN. This means: no monitoring of this resource and hence no corrective action in case of failures of this resource. In other words: for Clusterware, this instance is unmanaged.
    What can you do to fix that? Well, "human intervention" is required. My suggestion would be: stop the instance explicitly (preferably using SRVCTL) and restart it using SRVCTL. After stopping the instance using that command, check the state from Clusterware perspective. It should be TARGET=OFFLINE. Make sure, your instance is down. Kill / shutdown abort the running RAC instance explicitly before attempting a restart.
    Hope that helps. Thanks,
    Markus

    Hi,
    it looks like, that your "shared device" you are using is not really shared.
    The second node does "create an ASM diskgroup" and create OCR and Voting disks. If this indeed would be a shared device, he should have recognized, that your disk is shared.
    So as a result your VMware configuration must be wrong, and the disk you presented as shared disk is not really shared.
    Which VMWare version did you use? It will not work correctly with the workstation or player edition, since shared disks are only really working with the server version.
    If you indeed using the server, could you paste your vm configurations?
    Furthermore I recommend using Virtual Box. There is a nice how-to:

  • The Script root.sh problem - ora.asm and ASM and Clusterware Stack failed

    Folks,
    Hello. I am installing Oracle 11gR2 RAC using 2 VMs (rac1 and rac2) whose OS are Oracle Linux 5.6 in VMPlayer according to the website http://appsdbaworkshop.blogspot.com/2011/10/11gr2-rac-on-linux-56-using-vmware.html
    I am installing Grid infrastructure. On step 9 of 10 - execute script /u01/app/grid/root.sh for 2 VMs rac1 and rac2.
    After run root.sh in rac1 successfully. I run root.sh in rac2 and get an error as below:
    [root@rac2 grid]# ./root.sh

    Do any folk understand how to solve the script root.sh in rac2 problem ( 3 fails of ora.asm, ASM and Clusterware stack as above) ?
    Thanks.

    Please check there is no firewall exist:
    try this like:
    root.sh fails on second node
    MOS note:
    11gR2 Grid: root.sh Fails to Start the Clusterware on the Second Node Due to Firewall on Private Network [ID 981357.1]
    Grid Infrastructure 11.2.0.2 Installation or Upgrade may fail due to Multicasting Requirement [ID 1212703.1] (Most probabily this issue)

  • Problem removing Listener Service in Clusterware 11g

    It appears that I already have a listener service as shown below, and I am having problem removing this service so that I can create another. I know that I can just add a new listener service for each node, though if anyone would share some insight on how I can remove this listener service ofr Oracle 11g Clusterware with two node cluster, I would appreciate your insight. Thanks

    Hi, Is there any tnslsnr process running on the node. To understand the problem better, enable the debug trace for the .lsnr resource. You can enable trace by executing the following command as root.
    crsctl debug log res "ora.rac1.LISTENER_RAC1.lsnr:5"
    crsctl debug log crs "CRSRTI:1,CRSCOMM:2,OCRSRV:4"
    Try to stop the listener.
    Examine the log files under CRS_HOME/log/$HOST/crsd/* and CRS_HOME/log/$HOST/racg/*
    Thanks & Regards

  • Frustrated. problem installing clusterware. no response from metalink

    i've asked metalink and they haven't replied. i'm hoping that the otn community can help.
    can't get vipca to run manually, post failure to run thru OUI when installing clusterware. comes back with an Exception Error, yet all the cluster readiness tests were reported successfully. i have included my tar here but have masked the oracle engineer's name as 'm not interested in shaming him, i just want to fix my system. many thanks in advance, John.

    ### PROBLEM STATEMENT ###
    i have followed the installation instructions for installing clusterware with ASm as the preferred method for storage as this is
    using Oracle Server Std Edition. when the config assistant ran, it succeeded
    all steps prior to the following :

    Hi John.
    How are you invoking VIPCA after the fact?
    - From the command linke with the same parameters as above ( the -silent option should be
    removed)
    or
    - from the command line without any parameters?
    If you have not tried to invoke vipca.bat without parameters please do so and enter the required i
    nformation when prompted.

    hi
    by the way, i am following Part Number B14207-01. Oracle® Database Oracle Clusterware and Oracle Real
    Application Clusters Installation Guide
    10g Release 2 (10.2) for Microsoft Windows
    i am upto section 4 Installing Oracle Clusterware on Windows-Based Systems.
    this is where i did as stated, Using Oracle Universal Installer to Install Oracle Clusterware on Windows
    then at step 9, When you click Finish, the OUI installs the OCFS and Oracle Clusterware software on the local node and
    validates the installation again. The OUI will also create any required OCFS
    file systems. After validating the installation, the OUI completes the Oracle
    Clusterware software installation and configuration on the remote nodes.
    this is where the configuration assistant fails, with the :
    Output generated from configuration assistant "Virtual Private IP Configuration Assistant":
    Command = C:\WINDOWS\system32\cmd /c call c:\oracle\product\10.2.0\crs/bin/vipca.bat

    hi xxxxxx
    also noted that even after the 1st attempt to install clusterware the path is as follows :
    PATH=C:\WINDOWS\system32;C:\WINDOWS;C:\WINDOWS\System32\Wbem
    not sure when there is no change to the path as a result of the oracle install, as there is a JRE and jlib folder under the oracle home : C:\oracle\product\10.2.0\crs\jlib

    1st question is you have contradictory statements in your tar. 1) you say no vendor clusterware and the you say you have windows 2003 clusterware installed and configured.
    Why are you installing both?
    Although I don;t think that is the problem here, I wonder why anyone would want to run 2 independent cluster software on same servers.
    Now the output from the installer has whdc-wms-srv-2-vip output from cluvfy shows suitable interface as whdc-wms-srv-1 HEARTBEAT 10.10.10.11:10.10.10.10
    whdc-wms-srv-2 HEARTBEAT 10.10.10.11:10.10.10.11
    whdc-wms-srv-2-vip what you entered to installer does not match what is available!

  • Problems Detecting Disks Clusterware Installation

    Hi guys, I need some urgent help!
    I'm trying to install a 2 node cluster database on a Windows 2008 R1 64-bit OS for a production environment. For the datafiles I have some shared disks from an emc clariion CX3.
    I've prepared the disks enabling automount, disabling write cache, and creating the RAW partitions.
    The problems is that during clusterware setup, after getting all cluster verification ok, I can't see any disks in "Cluster Configuration Storage" screen.
    I've tried with Oracle Clusterware Release 1 (11.1.0.7.0) and Oracle Clusterware Release 2 (10.2.0.4).
    Am I doing something wrong?
    What is the best practice regarding the disks scenario. My original idea was leaving the Oracle Homes in the OS disk and put all the database files in an OCFS shared disk.
    Thank you
    João Almeida

    Hi,
    I was having this problem as well setting up a test Windows 2008x64 environment for benchmarking and possibly transitioning our production systems
    I fixed the issue by creating the drives and partitions using diskpart.exe and not the disk manager gui.
    The gui only allowed me to create volumes in my 2008 environment. When extended partitions and logical drives were created at command line (on my third attempt to have the installation 'see' the drives) the Oracle Clusterware software picked up the shared drives available for ASM.
    Previously the cluvfy was recognizing the shared storage but the installation software would not.
    Let me know if this helps.

  • Problem while starting the oracle clusterware

    Hi,
    In my envirnoment there are two rac nodes. When both systems are shutdown state but when i start the system 1 (node1) the oracle clusterware does not start it give the error while running this command crs_stat -t crs cannot communicate.
    But when I start system 2 (node 2) the oracle clusterware starts.
    Can anyone help me out regarding this issue?
    Thank you for your cooperation.
    Regards,
    Adnan Hamdus Salam.

    Hi,
    No that is not the case. My oracle rac clusterware is perfectly working fine.
    In case 1 when both nodes are shutdown when I start node 2 the oracle clusterware starts and then I start node 1 the whole oracle rac clusterware up successfull.
    in case 2 when both nodes are shutdown when I start node 1 the oracle rac clusterware does not starts and then when I start node 2 the whole oracle rac clusterware up successfully.

  • Crs processes restart problem after clusterware installation

    Hi all,
    I successfully installed the Oracle clusterware using two nodes, which are the Linux virtual machines created using VMWare. After reboot, the gsd and ons state on the second node is unknown:
    NAME=ora.node2.gsd
    TYPE=application
    TARGET=ONLINE
    STATE=UNKNOWN on node2
    NAME=ora.node2.ons
    TYPE=application
    TARGET=ONLINE
    STATE=UNKNOWN on node2
    My questions are:
    (1) what are the reasons causing this?
    (2) how to resolve it so their state can be ONLINE after re-boot?
    Thanks!

    I'd start by looking for any "interesting" entries in the clusterware logfiles at $ORA_CRS_HOME/log/<node_name>. My guess is that you'll find something in them that will point you to the next step for debugging.

    On the step 9 of 10 in the Wizard, accidentally, I touch the Mouse, and the Wizard is gone.
    The directory for installing Grid in the 2 VMs is the same: /u01
    In order to make sure everything is correct, I delete entire directory /u01 in the 2 VMs and install Grid in rac1 again.
    But get the error message as follows:
    [INS-40915] The Installer has detected the presence of Oracle Clusterware 10g on the remote node rac2.localdomain.
    Cause: Oracle Clusterware 10g is present on remote node rac2.localdomain but not on the local node.
    Action: To upgrade the Oracle Clusterware 10g Installation to this release, run Installer on a node where Oracle Clusterware 10 installation is located. To create a new cluster, choose a set of nodes that are not part of an existing cluster.
    Regarding the above error message, I do not install any Oracle Clusterware 10g in rac2 because it's the first time when I install Grid using rac1 and rac2.
    My question is:
    Do any folk understand how to remove something in rac2 to solve the above issue so that I can install Grid again ?
    Thanks.

    Folks,
    Hello. Thanks a lot for replying.
    The tutorial http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E11882_01/install.112/e22489/rem_orcl.htm#CBHEFHAC is about the regular procedure to deinstall Grid Clusterware and Database.
    I have just installed Grid and have not installed the Database. I have removed ORACLE HOME /u01 completely in both VMs. There is no way to follow the regular procedure to deinstall at this time.
    I do not install any Oracle Clusterware 10g in the VM rac2 because it's the first time when I install Grid using VM rac1 and rac2.
    When install Grid again. I get the error message:
    "[INS-40915] The Installer has detected the presence of Oracle Clusterware 10g on the remote node rac2.localdomain."
    This is strange! It seems that we need to remove some files in the VM rac2 like /etc/oracle that I am not sure.
    My questions are:
    First, where is 10g directory to remove ?
    Second, what files left on the system to clean up ?
    Third, what does " Follow 239998.1" means regarding asanqa's replying to me ?
    Thanks.

  • Clusterware install on HPUX 11.23 on 2node cluster (HP Integrity itanium)

    We are trying to configure a two node cluster to host Oracle 10gR2 RAC environment. The servers are HP-Integrity BL-86C servers, each with two Itanium CPUs and HP-UX 11.23. There are two four network ports available, which are connected to a Gigabit virtual connect. One of them is used as the public interface for RAC and second one is used as private interconnect for RAC.
    We have EVA3000 SAN. We configured two 1GB LUNs and presented both of them to both the servers. These will be used as shared raw storage for Oracle Clusterware files. On each server, we can see these raw devices under /dev/rdsk/c*. We assigned root as owner for first LUN (which is used for Cluster registry), and oracle as owner on the second LUN (which is used for voting disk). We did this on both the servers.
    We set up the ssh user equivalency on both machines so that they can talk to each other using SSH and oracle userid without prompting for password, as per oracle install manual.
    When we start the install, it apparently finishes successfully on the first server, but it fails on the second one saying ‘WARNING: clssnmDiskPMT: long disk latency (25031 ms) to voting disk (2//dev/rdsk/c1t1d0)”
    Oracle is pointing to this error, and saying that is the disk issue. We are stuck at this point where we need to figure out if the way we are trying to use the sharing of LUNs is correct? Can we present a LUN as raw disk to two servers at the same time as shared raw device?
    Also, how can we test the disk latency? I suspect that it is probably not a disk issue but shared storage issue, where first server holds the raw disks and second one can not see them.
    Our unix adminstrator talked to the HP EVA specialist to figure out the 'disk latency' problem, and HP doesn't think it is an issue. But if there is anything Oracle wants to check from o/s or hw side, I can check it.
    My question is, if it is voting disk issue, why does first node successfully starts all the daemons and formats Crs and voting disks successfully? We can see that in the root.sh output , and in the ocssd.log file on the first node
    Is there any utility from oracle, which can check if the shared disks for ocr and vote disks are configured/accessible all right? The runcluvfy.sh which was distributed with the software DVD is buggy and doesn’t work. Oracle tech support was not able to provide any suggestions to make it work.
    Please let me know if there is anybody who has done similar install successfully who can shed some light on this problem.
    Your help will be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks

    It fails on the second node.
