OCS V2 on linux "CREATE CONTROLFILE failed"

Hello,
i'd like some help regarding OCS instalation on linux.
at first i tried to install OCS V2 on redhat 9.
added redhat-9 to "certified OSes", installer started, fixed issue with "-z defs", then hung on relinkink webcache ins_calypso.mk. (ignored) later running DBCA get message "ORA-01503: CREATE CONTROLFILE failed" (abort) "ORA-01990: error opening password file ..." (abort) "ORA-27037: unable to obtain file status" (abort) same error (ok) other tasks continues...
even tried OCS V1 singlebox version. the same problem.
later downloaded and instaled UnitedLinux 1.0.
some more issues about fully qualified hostname.
needed to set /proc/sys/kernel/hostname not only to hostname, but to hostname.domainname.
and the get the same error.
i cant find answers to my problems in OTN and Metalink.
please help.
Thanks.
Saulius Speicys

also followed suse recomendations for Oracle 9i R2 install on SLES8 (920_sles8_install.pdf).
updated kernel, downgraded gcc .
and got the same troubles.
at first with hostname, later with ins_sqlplus.mk, and then at dbca "CREATE CONTROLFILE failed".
can it be because of fqhostname "ocs.as.local" ?
or any naming of oracle home "/opt/oracle/product/iasdb" , instance name, or instance name "infra" / "ocs_infra" ?
i think i'm lost %(
thanks for any help.

The best approach to fix this issue is by running preclone again on the source nodes, copy the files and run postclone then.

Error re-creating controlfile

I am trying to recreate the control file from the text trace file I created.
When I run the script in the trace file I get errors, so I'm breaking it down into little steps.
After running this:
STARTUP NOMOUNT;
CREATE CONTROLFILE REUSE DATABASE "D3P" RESETLOGS ARCHIVELOG;
I get this error:

Sapinst error backup/restore phase create controlfile

Hello experts
I am doing a homogeneous system copy using database specific tools backup/restore.Oracle 10.2.0.5, HP-UX, ECC 6.0
Source = ZD1 and Target = ZD1 (Yes they are both same) Source was a fresh install with brand new Export data (SID = ZD1) and now we are replacing the database with a copy of our existing Dev system (also SID = ZD1)
Restored the backup over target using OFFLINE backup. Have not run any "recover database ...." or "alter database open resetlogs" yet because sapinst is suppose to do this.
My control script looks like this: filename = CONTROL.SQL
STARTUP NOMOUNT
CREATE CONTROLFILE REUSE SET DATABASE "ZD1" RESETLOGS ARCHIVELOG
    MAXLOGFILES 255
    MAXLOGMEMBERS 3
    MAXDATAFILES 254
    MAXINSTANCES 50
    MAXLOGHISTORY 23371
LOGFILE
GROUP 1 (
    '/oracle/ZD1/origlogA/log_g11m1.dbf',
then all the data file paths (which I verified to be correct)
ends with:
'/oracle/ZD1/sapdata4/sr3_61/sr3.data61',
'/oracle/ZD1/sapdata4/sr3_62/sr3.data62'
CHARACTER SET UTF8
Now here is the issue:
1) When I manually run the CONTROL.SQL and then just do a alter database open resetlogs everything is fine. Database mounts and opens fine. However when I run the sapinst it tries to run the CONTROL.SQL again and messes up everything. I would like to skip this phase in sapinst and change ERROR to OK in keydb.xml file. Question is when should I do this ? Before starting sapinst so that it skips this or during the phase it stops and asks for backup/restore ?
2) Instead creating files manually I also let sapinst do this. But it throws an error during control file creation. When I used the above CONTROL.SQL it says must use resetlogs to open database. Then I restored all over again and added the line alter database open resetlogs at the end of CONTROL.SQL
'/oracle/ZD1/sapdata4/sr3_61/sr3.data61',
'/oracle/ZD1/sapdata4/sr3_62/sr3.data62'
CHARACTER SET UTF8
ALTER DATABASE OPEN RESTLOGS;
And then ran sapinst again from scratch and now it throws error file 1 needs media recovery.
This is weird and I don't know why sapinst acting smart here and wont let me do it and when it does it by himself it messes up.
Is my CONTROL.SQL scripts correct ? Whats the best approach here.
Thank you

Hello Nicholas
Thank you. I have replaced the CONTROL>SQL in the installation directory itself. Its in /tmp/sapinst_instdir/ERP/LM/COPY/ORA/SYSTEM/CENTRAL/AS And yes it IS picking up the control.sql that I provided and not the default.
DatabaseSAP
Thank you. I have never commented anything in keydb.xml before. But sounds like a good idea because if I can restore it myself I really want to skip this step. Should I just do it before start of sapinst and what exact lines to comment ? Which keydb should I edit ? I found several but looks like ./ERP/LM/COPY/ORA/SYSTEM/CENTRAL/AS/keydb.xml is the right one.

Also what exactly am I commenting here ? I see step RunControlScript is the one causing problems and I dont want it to create any control files. Please advise what exactly I need to comment and when. And what about changing the ERROR to OK ?

Hello.
I'm trying to install an ORACLE EBS 11i on an Oracle Linux Release 5 Update 5 Media Pack v1 for x86 (32 bit) from stage.

Hi schavali.

I've checked and that file doesn't exists.

For some reason it stops at tx_data9.dbf.
I will try to start the install all over again and comeback with feedback.
I think I will redo the DB stage as well.

EBS 11.5.10.2 installation Fails - create controlfile

Hello All
I am trying to install EBS 11.5.10.2 (test system) on Oracle Linux 5.8 (Apps tier 32-bit, database tier 64-bit). During the database creation phase I am getting this error: RW-50004 (Creating controlfile), so I checked log files and its says
ORA-01031: insufficient privileges
I tried to login to instance on database tier after sourcing env file but I got the same error. But if I create password file and then login sys/password as sysdba, it logs me in to an idle instance.
But I need rapidwiz to pass this step. So please suggest what should I do?.

Regards
AmitFirst of all, please note that Oracle 9i (which comes with 11.5.10.2) is not certified on OEL 5
Have you added the OS user who owns the database tier files to the dba group?

At what stage/step you get this error?
Please upload all the installation log files to any free hosting website and post the link here (in one zip file).
You do not need to create a password file at this level, and connecting as sysdba through oracle user and after sourcing the database env file does not need a password file.

I've dropped the catalog and re-created it and continue to encounter this issue.
File '/u02/oradata/RMAN/snap_proactive.f' does not exist though the directory exist and is writable.
No luck with Metalink.
Appreciate recommendations on resolving this issue. Thanks

Error creating CONTROL FILE

I have a problem while installing 9iAS R2 on RH LInux 8.
When database configuration assistant starts during the installation of 9iAS infrastructure, it gives an error "Error creating CONTROL FILE" followed by many other errors.
Please help me out.
Zulqarnain

I had the same problem, but with RH9
To fix, I ran orapwd from the $ORACLE_HOME/bin directory to create a password file called orapw. Then I moved this file to the directory where the configuration assistant complains it cannot find the file. Fixed. Obviously, just ignore the errors from the configuration assistant about the CONTROL FILE until it tells you the location of the file it is looking for.

Problem in Creating controlfile

Hi All,
am planning to system copy, databse restored succesfuly on target system, created control file on source system.
copied the control file on target system in /oracle/MDQ/saptrace/usertrace and renamed it as control.sql.
when am trying to generate conrol file on target system as : @/oracle/MDQ/saptrace/usertrace/control.sql
getting error as :

Hi,
i have chaecked the size of file system on source and target system, there is a huge differnce.
Please refer this useful document to perform complete [Oracle DB Restore using Offline/Online Backup|http://www.basisconsultant.com/component/remository/Sytem-Copy-Guides/Homogeneous-System-Copy-using-OnlineandOffline-Backup/] in systematic way .
BRARCHIVE - Return code: 0001 Success with warnings ( some offline redolog files not found).
Perform manual Log switching and ensure the availability of Offline Redo log files at Log Archive location (log_archive_dest). Then run Archive Log Backup Job.
Also please refer this useful SAP Note 490976 - BR013W No offline redo log files found for processing, to get info about the other possible causes.

Hello;
I read your post and here's the thoughts that came to mind : ( my largest concern is you might restore something that damages your current system )
1. So you want to restore the whole DB back to 12/06/2012 to get some tablespaces from then right?
2. Are you restoring to a different system?
3. How did you start the database ( NOMOUNT, MOUNT )
4. If you are restoring the whole DB back to 12/06/2012 how did you restore the control file?
5. Your command shows :
restore tablespace SYSTEM,UNDO_GEN01,UNDO_GEN02,TAB_80K_GENCON,TAB_25M_GENCON;
COMMENT : Generally I use recover tablespace for point in time recovery and use an auxilary destination.
Meaning I don't use restore at all, in fact using restore may cause an issue.
SUMMARY : I don't see how this will work as is.
It seems you want data from five tablespaces from about six months ago including the SYSTEM tablespace.
This is an Incomplete Recovery. I believe I would rethink this completely.
Give the time that has past I would consider restoring the whole database to a different server where cannot damage anything.
Once this is done I would decide how to get the data I need.
Or I would check for a daily export file and recover the tablespace data that way.
So you have some good details on your question but it seems the plan is either missing something or you need to add a few more details.
Example
I'm recovering old tablespaces into a test system.
Here's how I'm not damaging my current production system.
I don't have an export from that date.
So take a step back and either rethink or give a few more details on how this is safe.
Best Regards

Error creating filesystem

Hi there,
I am following all the instructions as well as I can. I have a core image on a CD and on a USB. No luck, as soon as I confirm the file system I receive an error, - "Error creating filesystem" I have tried all the file types.
The system is an AMD 64 athlon x2.
Thanks in advance.

Cannot create controlfile

When I try create controlfile reuse resetlogs database 'cms';
ORA-01503: CREATE CONTROLFILE failed
ORA-01565: error in identifying file
'%ORACLE_HOME%\DATABASE\DBS1%ORACLE_SID%.ORA'
ORA-27048: skgfifi: file header information is invalid

What could be the problem? And why is it looking for DBS1%ORACLE_SID%.ORA' should there be such file?

In this stadium there might not even be a tracefile.
Have a look at the statement you use. Usually it looks something like this:

;In your case you should check the files mentioned in the DATAFILE section

CREATE CONTROLFILE REUSE DATABASE ....(what's the meaning of the 'REUSE')?

I know the Oracle documents about 'CREATE CONTROLFILE':
[http://docs.oracle.com/cd/B19306_01/server.102/b14200/statements_5003.htm]
but i don't understand the following statements:
REUSE
Specify REUSE to indicate that existing control files identified by the initialization parameter CONTROL_FILES can be reused, overwriting any information they may currently contain. If you omit this clause and any of these control files already exists, then Oracle Database returns an error.
Please Note the last statements:If you omit this clause and any of these control files already exists, then Oracle Database returns an error.
i try a test ,nomatter the control files exists or not , it can re-create the new control files . it doesn't occur an error.
i'm confusing,what's this statements meaning ?
If you omit this clause and any of these control files already exists, then Oracle Database returns an error

Hi,
You use "reuse" to indicate that the control files identified in the initialization parameter can be reuse and can be overwritten, and the database name will be the same.
CREATE CONTROLFILE REUSE DATABASE "TEST" RESETLOGS NOARCHIVELOG
If you want to change the database name you move the actual control files to a different location and change the "Reuse" for "Set"
CREATE CONTROLFILE SET DATABASE "NEW_NAME" RESETLOGS NOARCHIVELOG
I think we can get an error using the
CREATE CONTROLFILE SET DATABASE "NEW_NAME" RESETLOGS NOARCHIVELOG
without moving the controlfiles if I add the REUSE before the SET it overwrite the Controlfile
CREATE CONTROLFILE REUSE SET DATABASE "NEW_NAME" RESETLOGS NOARCHIVELOG
