ORACLE NOTIFICATION SERVER CONFIGURATION ASSISTANT(CLUSTERWARE)-FAIL

Question

While Installing Oracle RAC Release 2 on Solaris 10 with NFS Mount, i am running into the following issue.
Step 1:
./root.sh
bash-3.00# ./root.sh
WARNING: directory '/opt/oracle/product/10.2.0' is not owned by root
WARNING: directory '/opt/oracle/product' is not owned by root
WARNING: directory '/opt/oracle' is not owned by root
chown: /data/media/RAC/voting/CSSVoteDisk0.dbf: Not owner
1
bash-3.00#
Step 2:
cd /opt/oracle/product/10.2.0/crs_1/cfgtoollogs
-bash-3.00$ ./configToolFailedCommands
PRIF-12: failed to initialize cluster support services
I believe the issue, here is location of ocr.loc file. I do not have ocr.loc file created yet.
$cat oifcfg.log
2007-05-10 13:37:48.612: [ COMMCRS][1]clsc_connect: (10043a620) NS err (12545, 12560), transport (515, 95, 0)

2007-05-10 13:37:48.615: [ CSSCLNT][1]clsssinit: error(33 ) in OCR initialization
Any Thoughts.
Thanks

Answer 1

Just in case anyone finds this thread, the problem is that the NFS mount is not configured properly, and thus the root.sh script is failing almost straight away.
Ensure that the NFS server has the following options in /etc/dfs/dfstab (Solaris 10) to allow root access:
share -F nfs -o rw,root=orac1.domain.com:orac2.domain.com /oraclerac/crs_files
share -F nfs -o rw,root=orac1.domain.com:orac2.domain.com /oraclerac/oradata
You can find out if this is the problem simply by (as root) trying to chown a file anywhere on the NFS mount.
Output of the root.sh script should be more like this:
WARNING: directory '/u01/crs/oracle/product/10.2.0' is not owned by root
WARNING: directory '/u01/crs/oracle/product' is not owned by root
WARNING: directory '/u01/crs/oracle' is not owned by root
