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

Grid installation issue with GNS - 12c on oel6

I am trying to install the Grid (CW) for 12c on oel 6, on 2 nodes, using *static configuration*, for a flex cluster.
My nodes are all running dnsmasq as DNS, and the /etc/hosts file is edited to be the same on them. The public/private/VIP/scan addresses are all resolvable (I have checked them all using 'nslookup'). I do *NOT* have DHCP (as I am going with static configuration).
The grid installation wizard fails, once running root scripts, and trying to start ora.gns service:
PRCR-1079 : Failed to start resource ora.gns
CRS-2674: Start of 'ora.gns' on 'ol6-121-rac1' failed
CRS-2632: There are no more servers to try to place resource 'ora.gns' on that would satisfy its placement policy

2015/02/16 19:45:21 CLSRSC-287: FirstNode configuration failed
I am using the following settings, in the installation wizard, for the GNS:
> Custer name:        ol6-121-cluster
> SCAN Name:        ol6-121-scan
> GNS VIP Address:        ol6-121-rac1-vip
> GNS Sub Domain:        ol6-121.localdomain
and here is the contents of /etc/hosts is as following: (public and private addresses are already assigned to different NICs on each machine, and the machines can ping each other's public/private addresses successfully):
# Public
192.168.56.101   ol6-121-rac1.localdomain        ol6-121-rac1

192.168.56.107   ol6-121-scan.localdomain ol6-121-scan
I am just wondering what could be missing here which causes the problem ?
- Do I need to start/set anything specific for VIP or SCAN addresses ? (As with the static configuration, domain delegation is not happening to CW).
- Or is there anything wrong/missing with the cluster name or GNS sub domain ?
Any help or hint would be highly appreciated.

Dear User,
I have developed an add-on through B1DE code generator wizard and installer wizard, it successfully installs in SAP business one but when i want to uninstall it, i have to remove it manually by deleting *.sbo files and deleting it from SARI table and also from business one add-on folder. Is there any way to automatically create its uninstaller through wizard? like i created installer through installer wizard.
Any help is appreciated,
Thanks,
Farhan

Thanks Trinidad,
Problem is almost solved but just to confirm one thing so that i can mark this post as "Solved problem"
In the ard file generation window (found in SAP business one sdk tools > AddOnRegDataGen.exe), i want to confirm the parameter for install and uninstall. the command line argument for install is /z and for uninstall is /x ? am i right??

Installation Wizard for one system

Hi,
We have only one system which will act as SCL and backend server. Can we try to deploy using Installation wizard? If yes what should be the number i mention to "Connect to SAP systems". Also what are the other requirements which I should care in this case? I mean the trust, rfc destinations, users etc.
Please let me know.
Thanks,
Rahul

Hi Holger,
I have 1 more doubt about the wizard. If there is 1 error at any step, i know we can execute that step again but what will happen to entries which were created sucessfully. will they be overwritten or they won't be created.
For e.g. In step 2, some tasks were successfully created but 2 or 3 task failed. Now i will again execute the wizard for Step 2. My question is what will happen to the task which got created successfully?
Thanks,
Rahul

Two questions on ASM for Grid Installation

Grid Infrastructure version : 11.2.0.3
Platform : Oracle Enterprise Linux 5.6
Question1.
oracle:dba will be owner of our Grid software (not grid user). What should be permission set for LUNs ( /dev/sda1, ..) before the grid installation ?
Question2.
Currently, the shared LUNs appear as
/dev/sdb ,
/dev/sdc,
/dev/sdd
does a single partition need to be created before presenting LUN to ASM ?
For example, I should choose p (primary partition ) below. Right ?
# fdisk /dev/sdb
Device contains neither a valid DOS partition table, nor Sun, SGI or OSF disklabel
Building a new DOS disklabel with disk identifier 0x8b157fd2.
Changes will remain in memory only, until you decide to write them.
After that, of course, the previous content won't be recoverable.
Warning: invalid flag 0x0000 of partition table 4 will be corrected by w(rite)

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.
NJ

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

Hi,
solaris has several issues with DISM, e.g.:
Solaris 10 and Solaris 11 Shared Memory Locking May Fail (Doc ID 1590151.1)
Sounds like Solaris Cluster has a similar bug. A "workaround" is to reboot the (cluster) zone, that "fixes" the mlock error. This bug was introduced with updates in september, atleast to our environment (Solaris 11.1). Prior i did not have the issue and now i have to restart the entire zone, whenever i stop crs.
With 11.2.0.3 the root.sh script can be rerun without prior cleaning up, so you should be able to continue installation at that point after the reboot. After the root.sh completes some configuration assistants need to be run, to complete the installation. You need to execute this manually as you wipe your oui session
Kind Regards

Hello,
To resolve this issue, first reconfigure your ASMlib using following steps:

BO Edge 4.0 Installer stuck on "Run command-line executable"

Hi,
Our BO Edge BI Server 4.0 Installer on Windows Server 2008R2 is stuck on one of the last steps; "Run command-line executable".
Before is was stuck on "WaitForCMSForTheFirstTime". We upped the RAM to 16GB and then the installer went past this, but after a full reset of the server and trying again it is now stuck a few steps later on "Run command-line executable". This is very frustrating, especially since there is no error message at all, no install log and the installer is just stuck indefinitely and we had to cancel it.
At that point the Central Configuration Manager shows this:
Apache Tomcat - Running
BW Publisher Service - Stopped
SAP BO Mobile Authentication Server - Stopped
SAP BO Mobile Processing Server - Stopped
Server Intelligence Agent - Running
We can't deinstall from Windows to start over at this point because the installer says an install is in progress.
What is going on?
Help urgently needed and appreciated

Hello,
Yes, certain stages run for a long duration. "Run command-line executbale" runs for atleast 45 mins. It's normal.
My suggestion would be to leave it for 45 mins-90 mins.
Now that you have interrupted your installtion, try uninstalling it through the control panel.
In case you can't see the software there, then you have to edit registry entries, which is very tiresome.

Ask for Login during Installation wizard of application

Hi to all,
I am doing an application in which I have some unusual
requirement, that is I want my application to ask for login (only
username is required) while I install the application i.e; during
the installation wizard and save it at that time only, so that the
application will not prompt user again for login in future.
I know how to achieve this after the application is installed
by using the shared objects once the user login.
Is there any way to achieve this?
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thanx.

Hi Arun,
I'm not sure I understand what type of login you are requesting, but it is possible to build a wrapper installer that silently launches your AIR installer then does whatever you need in a post install step (or preinstall for that matter.)

I downloaded the new update, 3.6.7, came back later and a new window with installation wizard popped up. Do I really need to do this as it seems it is already installed?

I was having so many problems with Firefox crashing and it seems like when I downloaded 3.6.7 and executed it that it resolved the issues. Then an installation wizard window appeared about an hour later asking me to install. Do I really need to do this? I am terrified of it crashing again....
== This happened ==
Just once or twice
== after dowloading latest update

Hold down the Home and Power button for 20 seconds. And try to update again.

VMware slices Crash during Grid installation [ Ora 11 G R2,VMware Linux ]

Hi,
Iam using Windows Xp [ 32 bit ] with 4 GB RAM and 150 GB Hard-disk.
I have installed VMWare Server with 2 RAC nodes [ along with the shared disk ], following the steps given at oracle-base.com.
However, during the grid installation, vmware slices [ RAC1, RAC2 ] are getting closed automatically, when i run "root.sh" on rac2 node.
The script ran fine on node1 [ rac1 ] and this problem is occuring only during rac2 run.
I have kept the memory as 2GB each and allocated 45 GB each with 10 GB for each shared disk.
Requesting help/info on the above, as why the nodes come down, during the installation.
Also, wanted to know, lets say, if grid installation failed and we found/fixed the problem. Can we re-run the grid installation from the point, it failed ?
Regards
Roopesh M.

VMWare is not supported for Oracle Clusterware/RAC. That may itself be the reason. Oracle VM is tested and supported. Perhaps you may want to try that

Microsoft Office Pro plus 2013 installation wizard pops up everytime I open a Word document or a new page.

Microsoft Office Pro plus 2013 installation wizard pops up everytime I open a Word document or a new page. I realize that other people have the same problem. However no answer has been found to stop this problem. I wonder if there is a
way. Hope someone is able to tell me and the others.

Hi,
By the installation wizard, do you mean the First Run screen? If yes, please follow the steps below to disable it:
STEP ONE: If you have not already, download the Office 2013 Administrative Template files. These can be downloaded from
http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=35554
STEP TWO: Copy the ADMX files to %systemroot%\PolicyDefinitions and the ADML files to the language specific folder (such as en-us) under %systemroot%\PolicyDefinitions.
STEP THREE: Using the Group Policy Management Editor go to User Configuration | Administrative Templates | Microsoft Office 2013 | First Run |
STEP FOUR: Set the Disable First Run Movie to Enabled and the Disable Office First Run on application boot to Enabled
Please check the result then.

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.
