Root.sh failed throws error when installing Oracle Grid Infrastructure 11.2

Question

Hi,
root.sh failed with the following error when installing / configuring the oracle grid infrastructure version 11.2.0.1 for standalone on RHEL 6
Now product-specific root actions will be performed.

I followed the steps / solution provided in the ID 1069182.1. But no use.
Are there any workaround?
Thanks

Answer 1

Check the logfiles under $GRID_HOME/log/<node_name>/cssd/
I had seen the same problem and the following resolved the problem for me.
[root@rac1 ~]# rm -f /usr/tmp/.oracle/* /tmp/.oracle/* /var/tmp/.oracle/*
[root@rac1 ~]# > $ORA_CRS_HOME/log/<node_name>/cssd/<node_name>.pid
