Net services config issue when installing grid on Amazon EC2

Hi,
I am attempting to install Grid 11g R2 on an OEL5 server hosted in Amazon EC2
I am getting as far as the net services setup which is failing because it cannot get port 1521 (or any other for that matter)
The log snippets are here

  • Issue when installing SQL Server Express 2012 - "The requested control is not valid for this service" + "Could not find the database engine startup handle"

    Good morning,
    I'm experiencing the following issue when installing Microsoft SQL Server Express 2012 (with tools, SQLEXPRWT_x86_ENU.exe) on the laptop of my company;
    Installation goes plain until around the end of the progress bar, it stops on the setup of
    SqlEngineDBStartConfigAction_install_configrc_Cpu32
    giving 7-8 times, even pressing "Cancel", the message "The requested control is not valid for this service";
    After this, I receive one last message ""Could not find the database engine startup handle", then installation ends with failures, in particular the Database Engine and the Server Replication failed to be installed.
    I've put in my SkyDrive the error log I received after the install;
    I'm at full disposal if you need further information,
    thank you in advance
    Best regards
    Francesco

    Well, i just ran into this issue and the problem was lack of admin rights. It was my company's laptop so got the setup initiated by my company's IT team with admin rights. However, the upon completion of setup, i go the same error messages as stated above: 
    SqlEngineDBStartConfigAction_install_configrc_Cpu32
    giving 7-8 times, even pressing "Cancel", the message "The requested control is not valid for this service";
    After this, I receive one last message ""Could not find the database engine startup handle", then installation ends with failures, in particular the Database Engine and the Server Replication failed to be installed.
    Also, if you open SQL Server Configuration, the status of the service is "Change Pending" and you would not be able to set the startup login type to Local Service/System/Network.
    Then, I just got my account added as Local Admin and then tried to start the service and was able to.
    However, I am not sure whether same was the case for you.
    Please mark the answer as helpful if i have answered your query. Thanks and Regards, Kartar Rana

  • Error PRVF-7565 received when installing Grid Infrastructure 12102 on OEL7/64bit

    When installing GI on OEL7 I got this error PRVF-7565. Any clue?

    Hi,
    Try use kfod utility:
    Note: Keep in mind that the Grid Infrastructure software does not need to be installed to use kfod, since kfod is located as well on the staging area where you uncompressed the Grid Infrastructure software, as the following example:
    /stage/grid/stage/ext/bin/kfod
    Where: "/stage" is the directory where I uncompressed the source software for the Grid Infrastructure software.
    And put here :
    $ kfod asm_diskstring='/dev/usasdirvg801_asm*' disks=all

  • Issues when installing apps

    I have issues when istalling apps that I purchased of free apps that end on *.sys. Can someone help me to determine? It downloads the app but when installing gives me an "installation error" message. I checked configurations and it should allow me to install any app on the phone. Any toughts? Any one that can help me, please? This is a Nokia N8.

    Hello,
    No this had never occured the same way in CS6, Other instances of this have occured with CS6 like not being able to open PSD's in AE. But nothing where the Dynmaic Link manager would stop working.
    I realize this issue is caused by my storgae setup becuase as I stated above, when I create a new win7 user and luanched the CC Apps( After Effects, Premirere Pro, Photoshop). they work fine. ( this is becuase the user profile for the user remains on the C: drive)
    Where as my main user for my machine differs, in that the user profile exists on my D: drive ( for sake of capacity )
    All of the Apps work fine with the new user and user profile on the C: drive, but this is not really an option for me as the SSD im using will not be able to store my large amount of user files ( documents, downloads, appdata, pictures, etc.. )

  • HELP - Library Left pane scroll issues ( when in grid view )

    I've run into a issue that is really starting to piss me off and hinder my workflow!
    When in Library mode grid view, I can't scroll left folder/publish service with my mouse scroll wheel. UNLESS I'm hovering over the scroll bar.  If I'm hovering over a folder, I can't scroll ( VERY annoying )
    now this is where it gets weird, when in loupe / thumbnail view, I can scroll the left pane fine with no issues.  Also, scrolling the left or right pane in Develop mode with no issues as well.
    Also, it seems like the when scrolling the right pane in Library view is a bit flakey ( it scrolls, but pauses at some places )
    I've read THIS thread, but I dont have any of that type of software on my PC. 
    I've tried 3 different mice with no fix. 
    Any help or ideas would be appreciated. 
    thanks

    @sjmphoto0300: I have a Dell XPS 15 502X laptop (running Win 7 Home) and had the same scrolling issue as you in LR 3.6 when in the Library module only (the Develop module sidebar scrolling works fine). I could not scroll using my touchpad on the left or right pane unless my cursor was directly over either thin grey scroll bar or on the actual sidebar headings (e.g. "Catalog," "Folders," or "Quick Develop"). Mousing over the latter would only enable me to scroll until the cursor was no longer over the heading which was pretty useless.
    I have Synaptics TouchPad v7.4 installed. While I don't have an option in my Mouse properties to specify certain programs that don't scroll properly as mentioned in another post, I did find a solution that works for me!
    I had to do TWO things to get scrolling in the sidebars working properly:
    1) In this thread (http://forums.adobe.com/message/3888114#3888114) it was mentioned that the Synaptics scrolling graphic that appears (see screenshot below) interferes with scrolling and the scrolling graphic can be disabled with a registry tweak and then restart the Synaptics applications (2) or reboot.
    2) Right-click an empty spot on the desktop and go to Personalize > Change Mouse Pointers > Device Settings (Synaptics logo on tab) > Settings. Click on Scrolling on the left of the Synaptics Properties window > Scroll item under pointer. Click Enable.
    That got sidebar scrolling working without having to keep the cursor hovering above the skinny scrollbars. It seems like the Synaptics software doesn't recognize what area is always scrollable in Lightroom when "Scroll selected item" is selected.
    Hope this helps someone else out there.

  • Issues when installing SAP IK FP1 and FP2

    Hi all,
    has anybody installed the SAP IK 3.0 FP1 and FP2? If so, after installing it, were you able to load the cmc page and infoview page in internet explorer.
    I get an error when typying the url:
    Estado HTTP 404 - /PartnerPlatformService/service/app/logon.do
    type Informe de estado
    message /PartnerPlatformService/service/app/logon.do
    description The requires resource (/PartnerPlatformService/service/app/logon.do) is not available
    Apache Tomcat/5.5.20
    seems like the deploy of the applications did not run properly.
    I have done it a couple of times and the same error.
    Anyone has any idea?
    Thanks a lot

    Hi Luis,
    first a couple of things that you must take into account.
    - I have installed the FP1 and FP2 just to see if I could an issue with the SAP IK. After doing that I realized that some things got
    solved but other did not. So I uninstalled the FP.
    - If you just need to install the FP to solve a different issue, you can try by leaving the service name blank (I have not tested that) or
    if you fill that information, you can redeploy manually the PartnersPlaformService from tomcat. That way it works
    I hope this helps

  • How to deal with "Error 1001. The specified service already exists" when install a service using installer package?

    Hi everybody,
    I wrote a "Class Library" project which is a service using Visual Stodio 2008 recently, then tried to use a Visual Studio 2008
    Setup Project to install it.
    Here is what I did for the "Class Library":
    1. Finish the program.cs, Service.cs
    2. Add Installer
    3. Change the serviceInstaller so that "StartType" to be Aotumatic
    4. Change the ServiceProcessInstaller2 so that "Account" to be LocalSystem
    5.
    6. Click in F5 (Start Debugging)
    Here is what I did for the Setup Project:
    1. Add the exe file built from the "Class Library" project to the Application Folder
    2. On the Custom Action Editor, add the exe file from 1 to Install and Commit
    3. Change the property of the project so that "RemovePreviousVersion" to be true
    4. Click on F6(Build Solution)
    Then I tried to run the msi file from the built of the Setup Project. Because I modified the two projects serveral times, I uninstalled the Class Library using "Control Panel->Add or Remove Programs" before I reinstall. Two things I notived:
    1. After unstall, the registry was not cleaned up about the installed program
    2. After several rounds install/uninstall, I got "Error 1001. The specified service already exists"
    My questions are:
    1. How to cleanup the registry when uninstall a program?
    2. How to deal with the "Error 1001. The specified service already exists"?
    3. Did I do anytbing wrong with the "Class Library" or the "Setup Project"?
    Thanks a lot!

    Hi Simon, not a problem!
    I spent some more time on this and here are few more notes:
    it is called Major Upgrade, when you are installing new version of the product upon a previous one and
    MSI supports 2 strategies:
    Strategy 1. Install a new version and uninstall previous one. (Install a new version right upon previously installed version (file merging is performed based on dll version number) and the delete previously
    installed files)
    Strategy 2. Uninstall previous version and install a new one (Delete all previous files and install from scratch new files.)
    From the first look it seems that 1st strategy is weird and buggy. But, remember, MSI is great because it's transactional!!! That means that if once some of the phases (Installation, Uninstallation, Rollback, Comit) fails, your machine
    will be reverted to the previous state and it'll be still functional. 
    Let's consider both strategies:
    Consider you have installed product_v1.msi and you want to install product_v2.msi.
    Strategy 1
    1. MSI engine copies files from Product_v1 directory to TEMP directory
    2. MSI engine merges files based on the assembly version (between v1 and v2)
    3. Once merging is completed successfully it removes files in TEMP (RemoveExistingProducts  action triggers it) and you got product_v2 installed, otherwise if it fails MSI engine revert machine to V1 and copies previous files from TEMP.
    Strategy 2
    1. MSI engine tottaly removes all files from v1.
    2. MSI engine installs v2 files and if something goes wrong you cannot revert back, because RemoveExistingProducts  allready worked out and MSI doesn't have files to revert machine back
    I recommend to everybody to use Strategy 1 and leverage MSI transaction functionality. And you can set this strategies by defining sequence of RemoveExistingProducts action. See more info
    here.  So, I think it's not even a bug in VS as I said in the upper post it is default recommened behaviour.
    AND, you got "Error 1001. The specified service already exists"
    because if we follow Strategy 1 MSI engine tries to install Windows Service on top of the existing service and OF COURSE it fails MSI engine (StopServices, DeleteServices actions are executed before actual
    installation and  they look at ServiceControl table). In order to stop service first and delete them you have to fill ServiceContol table of the MSI (and then StopServices, DeleteServices actions will recognize what to they have to stop
    and delete), like this:
    *clip*clip*clip*
    ' see http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/aa371634(v=vs.85).aspx for more info
    ' Update the Service Entry to stop and delete service while uninstalling

    Set view = database.OpenView(query)
    : CheckError

    We can uninstall service first by following Strategy 2, but then we lose transactional support.
    So, Simon did I encourage you to change your code a bit?:)
    And, btw, if you don't want to change the strategy, please don't rely on SequenceID in MSI table, it can be change, you have to get the at the runtime.
    Hope it will help to everybody!

  • Issues when installing Windows XP on a PXI-8108 with a Solid State HDD

    Hi,
    I have been assisting a client with installing Windows XP onto a PXI-8108 controller.  They have replaced the default HDD with a solid-state HD.
    We have attempted to run the System Recovery CD.  The recovery part works fine, ie. you select Acronis, it unzips all the files to C drive. 
    However when it gets up to the bit where Win XP Setup starts (after rebooting once the Recovery section completes), we have issues.
    It can't find files, ie. dmconfig.dll, gm.dls, etc on the Win XP CD.  When it tries to find mfc40u.dll, it came up with an error:
    "The file Setup placed on your hard drive is not a valid Win XP System image.  If you are installing from a CD, there may be a problem with the Windows XP CD."
    We have tried two different recovery CDs, and we even tried just a plain Win XP CD.  All had similar issues.
    We have tried different SATA settings in the BIOS - both IDE AND AHCI.
    It may just be that we have a faulty SSD, however it seemed to work ok when we had it connected to the PXI via USB (with the default HDD still in place).  I was able to run diskcheck, which did not bring up any errors.  Disk Management showed things were healthy.
    So what I would like to know, is if there is any issue with a PXI-8108, and SSDs?  We have successfully performed this operation a few months back using the same brand of SDD, but with a PXI-8104.
    Any suggestions would be much appreciated!

    This is more than likely a failing disk.  SSDs don't always report failures in the same way as a rotating drive.  Also, the tools that are helpful with diagnosing rotating drive failures don't always work with SSDs.
    From the thread, it sounds like you have another system with this same SSD and it is working properly.  Does that system have the same PXI Controller and Chassis?
    I have seen these types of errors if the media for the OS installation is corrupt, but it sounds like you have tried different CDs.
    I realize you have limited access to this drive, but here are my recommendations:
    1)  Put the failing SSD in a different system (desktop is preferable), and install a base version of XP.  If this fails, RMA the drive, they normally have 3-5 warranties.
    2)  Run Crystal Mark Info and check for SMART failures:
    http://crystalmark.info/software/CrystalDiskInfo/i​ndex-e.html
    3)  You can securely erase the SSD, which is not for the faint of heart.  This will restore the drive to a new condition.  If the drive has a bad cell which is causing data corruption during the OS install, securely erasing the drive will hopefully cause the firmware to map out the bad areas.  This is a good tutorial, just ignore that fact that it is targeted at Intel drives.

  • R5K Sound issues when installing Windows 8.1

    Hello everyone
    I installed Windows 8.1 Pro as downloaded. I used BCA > USB on my R5K to install Windows.. (Boot Camp drivers via BCA as well). Everything works fine except the sound when using Windows. There is sound, but it all... sounds disturbing, like listening to a radio. Nothing like the sound quality when using OS X, no epic sound effects and crystals clear sound whatsoever. And I think it's not even using all the speakers at the bottom of the iMac when producing the audio. I tried playing with Sound setting in Control Panned, with the audio settings in MPC, VLC, iTunes, re-installed the drivers just to be sure nothing went wrong with the installation and nothing work, I am still getting that "crappy sound quality"...
    I am welcome to any suggestions, spend half a day just trying to fix this... Thank you in advance

    Does Apple Diagnostics indicate any hardware issues?

  • Issues when installing Hyper-V Platform with 8 network filters running

    Hi. This isn't so much a question as a solution in case anyone else has this problem.
    I tried to install Hyper-V Platform on Windows 8.1 Pro but it kept undoing changes after 93%.
    I had it previously installed on the same hardware so knew there weren't any limitations there. Some forums suggested running "Dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /ScanHealth" followed by "Dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth" but this
    made no difference.
    Eventually, I looked up a forums that suggested "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Network\MaxNumFilters" had to be set if a maximum of 8 filters were in use. So I created a DWORD entry with a value
    of 14 (maximum on previous Windows versions) but it still didn't work!
    I checked how many networks filter were active with this powershell script:
    get-itemproperty hklm:\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Network | format-list -property MaxNumFilters
    $children = get-childitem -path hklm:\system\currentcontrolset\control\network\"{4d36e974-e325-11ce-bfc1-08002be10318}" | get-childitem | where-object {$_.PSChildName -eq "Ndi"} | get-itemproperty | where-object {$_.FilterClass} |get-itemproperty -name FilterClass
    "Filter Count: " + $children.count
    "Filter List: "
    $children | foreach-object -process { get-itemproperty -path $_.PSParentPath } | format-list -property Description,PSPath
    Still 8 were active! I then read that Windows 8.1 should scale MaxNumFilters automatically so I removed MaxNumFilters from the registry. Finally, I uninstalled my Anti-Virus (Kaspersky in my case) then tried installing Hyper-V platform again and it worked!
    After that, I ran the powershell script again and it detected that 9 filters were running. It looks like a bug whereby Windows is not scaling up the MaxNumFilters properly when Hyper-V platform is installed.
    This might only be an issue with Kaspersky and/or if exactly 8 filters are running but I imagine there are many more conditions under which this might occur.
