Problem in Oracle9i dbca

Question

Hi,
I am installing Oracle9i RAC on ia64 servers RHEL4. I have installed JDK patch 5390952 and clusterware/DB patch # 4547809
Ocm is running fine.When I try to create database with dbca, it stops at 37% and displays messages - "ORA-01503- CREATE CONTROLFILE FAILED" "ORA-01565-ERROR IN IDENTIFYING CWMLITE01.DBF" "ORA-27047 UNABLE TO READ HEADER BLOCK OF FILE". After this installation stops.
I tried changing size of cwmlite01.dbf etc but it does not help.
Appreciate any help on this.

Hi user644753
Did you apply also your patch set on your cluster ?
Can you manage to create the database manually?
It seems that the creation of the control file is failing, read that:
Doc ID:      Note:1077033.6
Subject:      ORA-01503 And (ORA-01160 ORA-01110) Or (ORA-01565 ORA-27406)
Problem Description:
====================
You are attempting to recreate the controlfiles for an existing database.
During creation you may see the following errors:
Case 1:
ORA-01503: CREATE CONTROLFILE failed
ORA-01565: error in identifying file '/u02/oradata/RM805/system01.dbf'
ORA-27046: file size is not a multiple of logical block size
- or -
Case 2:
ORA-01503: CREATE CONTROLFILE failed
ORA-01160: file is not a data file
ORA-01110: data file : '/u02/oradata/RM805/system01.dbf'
Solution Description:
=====================
Adjust the DB_BLOCK_SIZE parameter accordingly:
- If you received the errors in Case 1 (ORA-01503, ORA-01565, and ORA-27046),
you should decrease the value specified by DB_BLOCK_SIZE before you attempt
to recreate the controlfile.
- If you received the errors in Case 2 (ORA-01503, ORA-01160, and ORA-01110),
you should increase the value specified by DB_BLOCK_SIZE before you attempt
to recreate the controlfile.
Explanation:
============
Both cases occur due to an incorrect setting of the db_block_size parameter in
the "init.ora" file.
Case 1: The specified db_block_size in the "init.ora" is too large.
Case 2: The specified db_block_size in the "init.ora" is too small.
The database blocksize must be specified correctly in the init.ora in order
to successfully recreate the controlfile.

The information in this article applies to:
Oracle Server - Enterprise Edition - Version: 8.1.7.4 to 9.2
This problem can occur on any platform.
Symptoms
Getting
ORA-01503: CREATE CONTROLFILE failed
ORA-01160: file is not a data file
ORA-01110: data file : '/oralce/oradata/TRDPS/rbs01.dbf'
when trying to create a controlfile
Even after setting DB_BLOCK_SIZE parameter to correct value referring to Note:1077033.6
Changes
ORA-01503: CREATE CONTROLFILE failed
ORA-01160: file is not a data file
ORA-01110: data file : '/oralce/oradata/TRDPS/rbs01.dbf'
Errors while trying to create a controlfile.
Confirmed that it is a datafile and is not corrupted.
And db_block_size is set to correct value. (verified from the output of DBV on the datafile)
Cause
Most likely the file will be from a different incarnation after an open with resetlogs.
Fix
Copy all datafiles from the same incarnation as the system datafile and try creating the controlfile again.
