Problems Detecting Disks Clusterware Installation

Hi guys, I need some urgent help!
I'm trying to install a 2 node cluster database on a Windows 2008 R1 64-bit OS for a production environment. For the datafiles I have some shared disks from an emc clariion CX3.
I've prepared the disks enabling automount, disabling write cache, and creating the RAW partitions.
The problems is that during clusterware setup, after getting all cluster verification ok, I can't see any disks in "Cluster Configuration Storage" screen.
I've tried with Oracle Clusterware Release 1 (11.1.0.7.0) and Oracle Clusterware Release 2 (10.2.0.4).
Am I doing something wrong?
What is the best practice regarding the disks scenario. My original idea was leaving the Oracle Homes in the OS disk and put all the database files in an OCFS shared disk.
Thank you
João Almeida

Hi,
I was having this problem as well setting up a test Windows 2008x64 environment for benchmarking and possibly transitioning our production systems
I fixed the issue by creating the drives and partitions using diskpart.exe and not the disk manager gui.
The gui only allowed me to create volumes in my 2008 environment. When extended partitions and logical drives were created at command line (on my third attempt to have the installation 'see' the drives) the Oracle Clusterware software picked up the shared drives available for ASM.
Previously the cluvfy was recognizing the shared storage but the installation software would not.
Let me know if this helps.
Mike

Hard Disk failed but no problems detected in hardware test

My macbook crashed yesterday when I was running a photo sideshow. When I turned it on a flashing question mark appeared. I have followed instructions in the mac manual and looked at some discussions here. If I hold down the options key on startup there is no hard drive there and there is also no have drive if I run the disk utility but when I ran the hardware test it said no problems detected and I have repeated the test several times. This might mean there is an issue with the software but how can i reinstall it if I can't see the hard drive? I'm not sure what to do or what the problem is so please help
Thank you

Did you ever receive any information on how to solve this? Did you have to send your computer back to the mfgrer?

Hard Disk Problems Detected

Hard Disk Problems Detected
A hard disk is reporting health problems.
I get this message. I have triple boot (Arch, Ubuntu & Windows) and I don't get any error messages on the other two OSs. The error is for my 1.0TB internal HDD and the SMART status is: DISK HAS MANY BAD SECTORS.
Any ideas on why I get that message or how to disable it?
Thanks in advance.

If your drive supports self-tests, perform a long one and review the results:
http://sourceforge.net/apps/trac/smartm … #Selftests
If the self-test doesn't confirm bad sectors you should do a system update with pacman.
Otherwise I'd prepare to back up my data.

Continued disk problems even after clean installs

I've been battling with "keys out of order" and "invalid node structure" errors for some time now. After the initial incident, which rendered my Rev B iMac G5 17" 1.8Ghz 250Gig 10.4.4 unusable, I did a clean install. A week later the same problem occurred again. I again did a clean install erasing all free space and zeroing the disk. After a few weeks again I had the same problem. The third time I erased free space and wrote over the disk 7 times. A month later here I am with the same problems. Disk Utility and fsck seem to "fix" things for a week or so at a time. I've now got 43 items in Lost+Found.
I don't run anything on this machine that it didn't ship with save Firefox and Thunderbird. Could there be something wrong with the install media that shipped with my computer? Could it be the hard drive, bad blocks maybe? I'm open to any hackery that might help. Please don't just recommend DiskWarrior! I'll trade advise for a REAL explanation. Thanks in Advance.

Please don't just recommend DiskWarrior!
Disk Warrior can't fix hardware problems, and since you seem to have a hardware problem, I won't recommend that you try Disk Warrior. Is that a deal?
We've seen 'keys out of order' messages as being the result of HD, logic board and RAM problems, so it's hard to say with any authority what may be causing this on your machine. Have you run Apple Hardware Test in extended mode from your Install & Restore Disc 1 as others have suggested? It may provide some insight. If you've added third-party RAM, run AHT's extended test in looped mode for several hours or overnight.
Good luck.

Oracle 10gR2 RAC Installation in RedHat 5 Linux Using VMware.
Important points to install 10gR2 oracle RAC in linux5.
1.LINUX 5(Redhat 5) doesn't have /etc/sysconfig/rawdevices file. so we have to configure it.
2. Edit the /etc/redhat-release version to redhat-4 and and to invoke the runInstaller use the command
$runInstaller -ignoreSysPrereqs. //this will bypass the os check //
3. Next during clusterware installation at the end of root.sh in node 2 end with error message.So we have adjust the parameters in vipca and srvctl files.
4. vipca will fail to run. so we have to adjust some parameters and configure it manually.
refer the link, it will be useful to you to complete your installation.

C5180 - Existing software couldn't detect printer, new installs fail

Model C5180 - wired to my wireless router with manual static IP address on the network.
Windows Vista - all latest updates installed.
I recently ran into a network issue of some kind that prevented my computer from seeing the print on the network. Printing never stopped working, but scanning stopped. When I tried to open the Solution Center, it said no device was detected. The downloadable HP Print and Scan Doctor had no problem detecting the printer on my network, but said I did not have the full software package installed.
No amount of updating fixed this, so I decided to go with a full uninstall/re-install. I uninstalled all HP printing software, then tried the original included software disk. That failed, so I downloaded the latest available package for my printer.
Every time I try to install (using original disk or downloaded drivers), it gets to Step 3/4 and gives a "Fatal error during installation" message at 94% complete. The end result is that now not only can I not scan, I can also no longer print.
I have since tried running the automatically downloaded solution (which is just a bunch of "disconnect everything, then reconnect everything" non-sense -- did it anyway). I have tried the step-by-step solution recommended by HP for fatal errors without a code (Safe Mode and permissions changes). I have tried a third party's atl.dll fix. Nothing has worked.
Really would like to have my printer and scanner working.
FWIW, it works on another computer in the house (Windows 8.1) with no issues.

Hi theTrip73,
One of the keys to fixing Fatal Errors is knowing the actual error you are having.
This document should help figuring out which one:

Trying to download iOS 5 it says there is a problem with my Windows Installer Package?Help?

I'm trying to download the iOS 5 and I get almost all the way done but then it stops when it's on Status and goes to an error and says "There is a problem with this windows Installer Package. A program run as part of the set up did not finish as expected. Contact your support personnel or package vendor." I have a windows vista computer.. but it should be able to run on it...
Any ideas on how to fix this??
Thanks!!

'NOsaint09' - I was getting your same error message trying to install the iTunes 10.5 update on my Windows XP machine (in order to install iOS 5 on my iPhone 4). Tried uninstalling and reinstalling iTunes several times to no avail - same message, no install.
Well, after reading the above post by 'wiss...' i went to start Apple Software Update and was getting another (very cryptic) error message just trying to start ASU. I thought perhaps the problem with this program was causing iTunes 10.5 not to install - so I went to uninstall Apple Software Update using Windows Add/Remove Programs, and got another error message (not allowing the uninstall)!
Knowing there are programs out there just for the purpose of doing a forced & thorough uninstall, I search Cnet Downloads for the best free Uninstaller and downloaded Revo Uninstaller. Used Revo to uninstall Apple Software Update (and all associated files/data it found in registry).
Then to be sure, ran Disk Cleanup in windows to empty the Temp files/folders and Restarted the computer.
Finally, I ran the iTunes Setup.exe for 10.5 and it installed successfully!! Woohoo! I hope my experience may help others with similar troubles!
And thanks to Wiss for directing me to the problematic ASU program!

I have a 2009 Macbook Pro with 1T hdd 8GB Ram and ran Maverick without problem...Yosemite installation has me completely frozen, nothing works but the spinning ball...I had to force shutdown last night, and haven't turned it on again...what do you ad

I have a 2009 Macbook Pro with 1T hdd 8GB Ram and ran Maverick without problem...Yosemite installation has me completely frozen, nothing works but the spinning ball...I had to force shutdown last night, and haven't turned it on again...what do you advise? During installation emptied cache, etc. Backed up using time machine, fortunately.

Try these in order testing your system after each to see if it's back to normal:
1. a. Resetting your Mac's PRAM and NVRAM
    b. Intel-based Macs: Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC)
2. Restart the computer in Safe Mode, then restart again, normally. If this doesn't help, then:
Boot to the Recovery HD: Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the Utilities menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
3. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions: Upon startup select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions as follows.
When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the main menu. Select Restart from the Apple menu.
4. Reinstall Yosemite: Reboot from the Recovery HD. Select Reinstall OS X from the Utilities menu, and click on the Continue button.
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible
            because it is three times faster than wireless.
5. Reinstall Yosemite from Scratch:
Be sure you backup your files to an external drive or second internal drive because the following procedure will remove everything from the hard drive.

Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible
            because it is three times faster than wireless.

Itunes doen't install on my 64 bit machine "there is a problem with this windows installer package..."

Ever since ITunes has come out with a dedicated 64 bit version, I have been unable to install Itunes. the first time I had the problem it suggested I unistall itunes which I did. Itunes still will not install however. I have cleared my temp files, moved my music off of my hard drive, everything I can think of and there is no change. Any help someone could provide would be appreciated as I am at the point where I have copied all of the files from the program directory of someone else's installed 64bit itunes and I am running a makeshift version. Should I see if I can get my hands on a disk version of the installer?
Here is the message: "there is a problem with this windows installer package. a program required for this install could not be run. contact your support personnel or package vendor"
thanks!

Here is the message: "there is a problem with this windows installer package. a program required for this install could not be run. contact your support personnel or package vendor"
Perhaps let's first try updating your Apple Software Update.
Launch Apple Software Update ("Start > All Programs > Apple Software Update"). Does it launch and offer you a newer version of Apple Software Update? If so, choose to install just that update to Apple Software Update. (Deselect any other software offered at the same time.)
If the ASU update goes through okay, try another iTunes install. Does it go through without the errors this time?

Audio Configuration problem detected after install

During the download of the new ITunes version I had a major power failure. I went back and completed the download and after the installation I got an error message that ITunes could not be opened due to an audio configuration problem detected. I went to the Apple site and downloaded a new version from scratch and after the install I got the same audio error. Any Suggestions?

Perhaps this Apple KnowledgeBase article will help:
iTunes 7 for Windows: iTunes has detected an audio configuration problem
Hope that helps.
Forum Tip: Since you're new here, you've probably not discovered the Search feature available on every Discussions page, but next time, it might save you time (and everyone else from having to answer the same question multiple times) if you search a couple of ways for a topic, both in the relevant forums, in the User Tips Library and in the Apple Knowledge Base before you post a question.

Why do my applications hang (Mail, Disk Utility, Installer, Safari)

After the latest software update. Mail, Safari, Disk Utility, Installer, Activity monitor and some more applications do nothing more than jumping in the Dock and then hang-up with the spinning wheel always spinning... I think it was after the 2006-003 security update, or maybe the ITunes update....I'just don't know anymore...
I have tried to downgrade to the 10.3.7 combo update but the installer App behaves just the same... If it wasn't for Fire fox I wouln't be writing here.
During my search on these forums I have found a thread that stated that the latest ITunes update was responsible, I downgraded it to 6.0.1, and it worked until I restarted my mac... Then it didn't work anymore, all my Apple apps are not opening.
I really need some help with this...
The wierd thing is that all other (non-Apple) programs run just fine, like the whole Adobe CS and Macromedia Packages.
If anyone has a solution, please be so kind to let me know.
Thanks all

Try this and see if it works for you.

kmosx: Apps unexpectedly quit
Posted: Dec 19, 2004 8:11 AM
Here are some possible reasons for this problem.
1. Recent Update: Download and reapply the most recent Combo Update: Mac OS X Combined Update 10.3.9 or Mac OS X Update 10.4.2 Combo
2. Font duplicates: Please read the articles by Kurt Lang and J.Otava here: Kurt Lang: Font Management in OS X Panther and J.Otava: Fonts & Apple Type Services
3. Corrupted preferences:
Go to Users/Your_Name/Library/Preferences and trash the files:
- com.apple.ATS.plist
- com.apple.BezelServices.plist
Restart. If this did not help, go to Users/Your_Name/Library and drag the folder Preferences to the desktop. Restart and see if this solved the problem
4. Permissions:
Symptoms:
a. Only Apple applications affected
b. Also happens when you switch to a new user.
c. First appeared after update to 10.3.4, 10.3.5 or 10.3.6
This usually happens if you do not repair permissions before you update to 10.3.4 or later. There are (unconfirmed) hints that corrupted cache files might also contribute to this problem. You can clean caches with programs like Cocktail or Panther Cache Cleaner. The only solution I am aware of is to do an Archive&Install.
You also might want to read this article: Applications don't work after reinstalling Mac OS X
Remember: Repair permissions before and after an update!
If none of the above solves the problem you might have to do an Archive&Install:
1. Insert the Install CD 1 and reboot while holding down the c-key
2. Once you are booted go to the menu and select disk utility
3. Repair the disk and Repair permissions!
4. Quit disk utility and proceed with the installation
5. Under "options" select "Archive&Install" and check the box "keep user and network data".
6. Install Panther
7. Restart
8. Go to the folder Application/Utilities and run disk utility to repair permissions again.
9. Download (or open if you downloaded before) Mac OS X Combined Update 10.3.9 or Mac OS X Update 10.4.2 Combo and install it.
10. Restart and repair permisssions
11. Go to the Apple menu and select "Software Update"
12. Install all missing updates and restart.
13. Repair permissions
For further information on Archive&Install read these articles:

Clusterware installation 10.2.0.1

Hi!
I have trouble with clusterware installation.
I use two VM's with Centos 5.3
./vipca
/u01/app/oracle/product/10.2.0/crs/jdk/jre//bin/java: error while loading shared libraries: libpthread.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
Then I marked out this lines in vipca -->
#Remove this workaround when the bug 3937317 is fixed
# arch=`uname -m`
# if [ "$arch" = "i686" -o "$arch" = "ia64" ]
# then
# LD_ASSUME_KERNEL=2.4.19
# export LD_ASSUME_KERNEL
# fi
#End workaround
Now I got this problem:

I'm having problems installing disk 2 of oracle 9iAS linux edition

I'm having problems installing disk 2 of oracle 9ias linux edition is thier anyone else having this same problem

Is it original media? The first installation disk set i received from oracle had a bad disk 2. Once I received the new set, everything was fine. You may have bad media as well.

Desktop problems after Snow Leopard Installation

After a successful installation of Snow Leopard I am having problems with my Desktop. No matter what Desktop graphic I choose, after 2-3 minutes the Desktop goes back to a plain blue background. Any idea what is causing this? and how to fix it?

Hmm,
I was not familiar with EarthDesk but now that I know about it - I conjecture that application runs in the background, right?
If it does run in the background - then that is the real base of the problem installing Snow Leopard. Others with (other) apps running in the background have experienced repeated run-then-eject-installer problems. One person reported that CarbonCopyCloner's scheduling app caused this specific problem.
Now, I understand that the desktop problem isn't the same as having the installer begin to run, then stop and eject the installer disk. My point is only that apps running in the background are apparently causing (now various) problems with the SL installer.
Glad to see that one more problem has been solved.
