CRS install fails Oracle home incompatibility checks ( 10G )

Hi,
I'm trying to install RAC for 10.2.0 . The first step is to install cluster Ready Services ( On red hat linux ) . When it does the product specific prequisite checks, it fails on "Checking for Oracle home incompatibilities".
I get the error " Oracle clusterware cannot be installed into an existing oracle home".
I did a previous attempt at an install which failed. I have completely deleted the
/oracle/product/10.2.0/crs directory which was previously created.
If I check the environment variables, I get :
[oracle@rac1 db_1]$ env | grep -i home
HOME=/oracle
ORACLE_HOME=/oracle/product/10.2.0/db_1
So, in my thinking there is no trace now of a previous home for CRS.
So why am I getting the error ??
Thanks
George

It seems taht you have not cleared the inventory..As menioned earlier use OUI to remove the oracle_home from inventory. In case you do not wish to use the existing ORACLE_HOME=/oracle/product/10.2.0/db_1 or any other Oracle Installation on this server, then you can go ahead and remove the inventory itself.
You can use Note:239998.1 for the various files to be removed for cleaning up CRS..

No Oracle Home Selector in 10g?

I finished installing 10.1.0.2 DB on Win XP Professional a short while ago. This machine already had 8.1.7 client, 9.0.1 client, and 9.2.0 db installed.
I went to Oracle Home Selector under Oracle Installation Products on my start menu and saw only previous ORACLE_HOMEs are available.
I checked my PATH from a command prompt and find the new 10g ORACLE_HOME/bin is first in my PATH. That's fine, for now but when I want to change it I'll have to change it manually. Ok, I can do that. It's annoying but workable. But I can't expect the "normal" end user to deal with this. What's up Oracle?

Here is a fix ... I don't think its recommended !
1. run regedit
2. Find ORACLE - ALL HOMES (Under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE -> SOFTWARE)
There will be ID0 and ID1 etc ., (If you have previous version of Oracle).
3. Keep your mouse on ALL HOMES -> Right click -> New -> Key
Name it ID2 or ID3 (depends on how many Oracle Homes you have)
4. Now you have ID2 or ID3 ready ...
Keep your mouse on ID2 or ID3 -> Right Click -> String Value
Enter NAME ... string your actual OraHome92 or OraHome10g
Another String value -> Enter NLS_LANG and set the value
another String value -> Enter PATH and set the exact path
Go to your Oracle Home Selector ... you will find the new Oracle Home with its path !
Thanks

Installing & Uninstalling Oracle Home

We have installed multiple Oracle Versions in same machine like below.
Ora9i_db_Hom
- Oracle 9i Database 9.2.0.2.0
- Oracle Universal Installer 10.1.0.2.0
- Oracle 9iR2 Patch Set 9.2.0.5
- Oracle 9iR2 Patch Set 9.2.0.8
OraDb11g_home1
- Oracle Database 11g 11.2.0.1.0
Ora_9205_Home
- Oracle 9i Database 9.2.0.2.0
- Oracle Universal Installer 10.1.0.2.0
- Oracle 9iR2 Patch Set 9.2.0.5
- Oracle 9iR2 Patch Set 9.2.0.8
OraDB10g_Home1
- Oracle Database 10g 10.2.0.1.0
- Oracle Database 10g Release 2 Patch Set 3 10.2.0.4.0
The reason for this installation was to upgrade 9i & 10g Database to 11g. We upgraded all the database to 11g and its running on 11g now. Now I would like to remove the old versions (9i & 10g).
My Question is,
1. If I Remove 9i Oracle Home using OUI, will it effect any of the database that is running on the machine?
2. For some reason if I want to install 9i again after uninstalling, will that be a problem?
Edited by: ManoRangasamy on Nov 30, 2010 9:42 AM

Well, the obvious answer about databases being affected has to include any 9i database if the 9i home/software is removed. Other than that, no, assuming none of the other databases have any dependencies related to 9i (e.g., database links).
If you think you may have to reinstall 9i, don't remove it in the first place. If you can afford the disk space to keep it, what is the harm in keeping it on the system? You really don't want the brain damage of messing around with older versions of OUI.

How to install 2 oracle homes on singl windows host

Hi Experts,
I am planning to install two sap R/3 4.7 ext200 SR1 instances on windows 2003. I already installed DEV instance & planning for QAS.
I am confused about how to install two ORACLE softwares on single windows host.
I search on internet there for windows they are pointing to the registry value
\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE
Software\Oracle\inst_loc.
I am not able to understand what I have to do with this ?
Can you please help me to understand & execute this.
Thanks,
Sachin

Sachin,
Go throuth this link to understand more about Oracle Inventory and Oracle Homes software update.
http://cs.ifmo.ru/~ad/Documentation/oracle-10g-lib-doc/em.101/b12140/3_oui_oracle_homes.htm#i1005634
The current entry is picked from the PATH vairable of the system and user that you have logged on. This is because you have already done 1 Oracle Installation on the host.
Keep in mind that you choose the correct oracle home while installing and in future updating Oracle software (patchset, Interim Pactches...)
You can give a seperate path for Oracle Inventory. Just go thru to the existing folder of OraInventory in Program files you will understand it better.
It is used to install and update the Oracle software in the oracle home that you will choose in your next step.
All the Best,
Nilesh

Two oracle home 11g and 10g

hi all
i have al-ready installed oracle 11g on my xp and created database then
when i want to install oracle 10g .it installed sucessfully
but i cannot connect to any of the oracle software
as i put the SAME oracle_base for both the ORACLE 11g and oracle 10g
Can anyone help me how to have two oracle home on a single machine xp?
Thanks
Misin

Hi,
there isnt any problem.
During instalation you set ORACLE_BASE. It could be the same for both version but you have to set diffrent ORACLE_HOME
Samething like this
(it's on linux but the same is on win )
echo $ORACLE_BASE
/opt/app/oracle
for 10g
echo $ORACLE_HOME
/opt/app/oracle/product/10/db10g
for 11g
echo $ORACLE_HOME
/opt/app/oracle/product/11/db11g
Now when do you want to run 10g set 10g enviroment and for 11g ORACLE_HOME form 11g.

I had done a next test ,when only one node,the ocrconfig.log had the same error:propriogid:1: INVALID FORMAT,but root.sh can finish sucssful,and all crs progresses startup normal,what's wrong?

I tried installing Yosemite from 10.6.8 and the install failed. Ran a check and disk needs repai but "repair disk" isn't an option (greyed out). Can't start up under old 10.6.8 because it says "could not gather enough information." Help, please!

startup disk fail

Not lame at all. It's annoying that in order to salvage a disk the "official" way is reformat it. It's just a lack of documentation.
Diskwarrior is actually a software from Alsoft. www.alsoft.com
It's been around for ages and usually it's the last resort when everything else failes.
If you don't have the software, you could try one option.
Restart the malfunctioning computer and press T when you hear the startup sound. This will start the computer in transfer mode. You will see a huge firewire icon on the screen that just floats there.
Connect the computer to a healthy mac with a firewire cable and it should appear as a HD, just as an external hard drive would. (don't worry if it doesn´t)
Open Disk utility and in the left pane the malfunctioned Hard drive should appear. Run disk repair on the HD if possible. Once the repair disk has finished, with our without errors, open a new finder window and select the external hard drive.
You could backup the data on the Drive at this stage onto the healthy computer... just to be safe.
On the root of the Malfunctioned Disk there should be a folder named "OS X install data" or something like that. Basically something that normally would not be there...
Delete that folder.
Run Disk repair once again in Disk Utility. If successful, reboot the machine and see what happens.
If that does not work at all, then perhaps you should consider purchasing Disk Warrior. Run the same process as before, connecting the malfunctioning mac via firefire, but this time run Diskwarrior on the healthy machine, locate the malfunctioning HD and select Rebuild for that Hard drive. It will take a little while but once its done processing it will ask you if you want to copy the new build, select yes. That did it for me at least.
I hope that helps. You could check the app store or search online for software that is similar to Diskwarrior, there's probably some app that does the same thing. The only reason I used Diskwarrior is it has proven a good utility for Mac breakdowns and I've used (rarely though) it for years.

Install fails every time - integrity check

Trying to install 10.1
Dowload Manager starts ... gets to end of download, and then after a while gives first error window which states "Installer did not pass integrity check" with option to resume.

Checking for Oracle Home incompatibilities ...

While installing oracle client 10.2.0.4. I came across this error. See below
Checking the Components installed in Oracle Home
Check complete. The overall result of this check is: Passed
=======================================================================
Checking for Oracle Home incompatibilities ...
Actual Result: NEW_HOME
Check complete. The overall result of this check is: Failed <<<<
Problem: This software can only be installed into an existing Oracle Database 10g Oracle Home.
Recommendation: Choose an existing Oracle Database 10g Oracle Home for installing this software.
Solution:
make sure you set ORACLE_HOME and more IMPORTANTLY make sure you are not imstalling client patch.
You should install 10.2.0.1 /10.2.0.2 full client first before installing the patch. If you don't, hence the above error.
Edited by: solara on 05-Feb-2009 09:13

Hi,
I think the error message is quiet clear: You are installing a patch and the installer throws the error that cannot found an ORACLE_HOME to where the patch should be installed, and tells you to install a full client (10.2.0.1 or 10.2.0.2), set the variable ORACLE_HOME to the home of the recently installed client, and then apply the patch...

Multiple Oracle home

Hi ,
I have some doubt which needs to be cleared.
If I will install multiple oracle home like ORACLE_HOME=/u01/app/oracle/product/10.1.0/asm
ORACLE_HOME=/u01/app/oracle/product/9.2.0
ORACLE_HOME=/u01/app/oracle/product/10.2.0
ORACLE_HOME=/u01/app/oracle/product/crs
Now in this when I will set export ORACLE_HOME then which version will be picked up.
Is ORAENV isgoing to come into picture.
Please throw some light on it.

Asif KabirAsif,
Your advice to hard code the Oracle environment directly into the profile is poorly thought out. And a direct carry over of 'worst practices' unfortunately taught in some Oracle related classes.
The OP did correctly identify oraenv (as described in the "Administrator's Reference for UNIX-Based Operating Systems" at http://www.oracle.com/pls/db102/portal.portal_db?selected=4) as the preferred solution. Putting THAT into the profile (using ORAENV_ASK as described in the manual) is OK.
I'll leave you to figure out why the difference - I've posted many times about that in these forums.

Oracle Database Express Edition 10g; Designer, PL/SQL; Download

Hi,
I am new to this forum, I hope that I am posting in the right one :)
I am refreshing my SQL knowledge an installed the "Oracle Database Express Edition 10g Release 2 (10.2)" which works fine. I now would like to learn PL/SQL and Oracle Designer.
Are these 2 also offered as a free download for personal use? Since the Oracle website is pretty complex I am not sure what I should download.
Can I run these programs on one WinXP Home machine?
Thanks for your help!

Designer is not free like Express Edition. You cannot use it for any commericial purpose without a licence.
Designer is a big tool. I don't know why it shouldn't run against XE but it is a tough blighter to configure and install. It is also a moribund product, so the answer to this question:
Is there a newer Designer version available?is likely to be "No" whenever you ask it.
Cheers, APC

Two oracle homes 8 and 10

Hi,
on a windows 2003 server I have Oracle 10g and Oracle 8.1.7.
When we start listener of 10g , it deos not start listener for 8.1.7 data base. For starting 8.1.7 Listener I should go to Oracle_HOME/bin of 8.1.7.
Is there any way to resolve this in order to start Listener for 8.1.7 with 10g listener ? How to include 8.1.7 Db in SID_LIST_LISTENER of 10g listener.ora?
The same we can not use SQLPLUS of 10g to connect to 8.1.7 data base . We should do this from 8.1.7ORACLE_HOME/bin. How can I change to be able to connect from every directory ?
Many thanks.

Use oracle netmanager to include oracle 8i database service name in to 10g listner or else manually include 8i SID and oracle home in to 10g listner file.
Netmanager can be started by typing netmgr on command prompt
e.g
SID_LIST_LISTENER =
(SID_LIST =
(SID_DESC =
(PROGRAM = extproc)
(SID_NAME = orcl)
(ORACLE_HOME = /u01/app/oracle/product/10.2.0/db_1)
(SID_DESC =
(GLOBAL_DBNAME = orcl)
(ORACLE_HOME = /u01/app/oracle/product/10.2.0/db_1)
(SID_NAME = ORCL)
(SID_DESC =
(GLOBAL_DBNAME = TSH1)
(ORACLE_HOME = /data2/oracle/ora8i)
(SID_NAME = TSH1)
2)
in 10g Home you need to configure tnsnames.ora for the 8i database to be connected. Put the 8i server ip and SERVICE_NAME and port in 10g tnsnames.ora file. You can find this file in $ORACLE_HOME/network/admin
TSH1 =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS_LIST =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = 172.16.21.29)(PORT = 1521))
(CONNECT_DATA =
(SERVICE_NAME = tsh1)
)
