Ohasd failed to start on OL6.2 during installation

Question

Hi,
I am running OL6.2 and have tried to install grid infrastructure clusterware for standalone server version 11.2.0.3.0, but it fails with the below error:
[root@localhost u01]# /u01/app/grid/product/11.2.0/grid/root.sh
Running Oracle 11g root script…
The following environment variables are set as:
ORACLE_OWNER= grid
ORACLE_HOME= /u01/app/grid/product/11.2.0/grid
Enter the full pathname of the local bin directory: [usr/local/bin]:
The contents of “dbhome” have not changed. No need to overwrite.
The contents of “oraenv” have not changed. No need to overwrite.
The contents of “coraenv” have not changed. No need to overwrite.
Entries will be added to the /etc/oratab file as needed by
Database Configuration Assistant when a database is created
Finished running generic part of root script.
Now product-specific root actions will be performed.

work around: but with no avail
/bin/dd if=/var/tmp/.oracle/npohasd of=/dev/null bs=1024 count=1
I tried to use the command above but it is stacked and nothing go further.
I tried also these two suggestions as below but nothing go for futher and the same error is getting while I run root.sh script :
1)
#start oracle
start on runlevel [0123456]
stop on runlevel [016]
respawn
exec /etc/init.d/init.ohasd run >/dev/null 2>&1 &1`
2)
Also Metalink bug says this
Add the following to the init.ohasd file:
# create .oracle directory if it does not exist:
if [ ! -d /var/tmp/.oracle ]
then
mkdir /var/tmp/.oracle
fi
just before the entry:
# Try to create named pipe.
if [ root = "root" ]; then
OUTPUT=`mkfifo $NAMEDPIPE 2>&1`
else
OUTPUT=`$SU root -c "mkfifo $NAMEDPIPE" 2>&1`
fi
Anybody, could help how to resolve this issue.
feedback really high appreciated.
Thanks,
Yasin

Answer 1

I have solved the ohasd startup issue: I found permission problem with /var/temp/.oracle/npohasd
I changd the ownership from grid:oinstall to root.oinstall as below:
[root@localhost tmp]# cd .oracle/
[root@localhost .oracle]# ls
npohasd
[root@localhost .oracle]# ls -l
total 0
prw-r--r-- 1 grid oinstall 0 Mar 11 21:21 npohasd
[root@localhost .oracle]# chown root:oinstall npohasd
Then dconfigur crs using :
[root@localhost .oracle]# /u01/app/11.2.0/grid/crs/install/roothas.pl -deconfig -force
