Root.sh hangs in CRS install on first node

Hi all,
I am installing CRS 10.2.0 in RHEL 5 on VMWARE.when It is asking for two scripts(oraInstRoot.sh and root.sh) as a root user.First script completes with out any error on both nodes while root.sh script hangs in first node at line
Startup will be queued to init with in 90 seconds
I have checked for error in /tmp/crsctl. below is error
Failure at SlfAccess(/u01/crs/oracle/product/10.2..0/crs/bin) with code -1
Internal Error Information:
Category: -5
Operation: access failed
Location: SlfAccess
Other:
Dep: 2
Kindly share if any one has solved above error.
thanks
Latif

Hello,
Your problem is indeed Bug: 4679769. Our output of the tracefile explains this.
You need to download the patch, apply it.
But before you run root.sh again, clean the ocr disks. (both) using dd.
when done you can just reexecute the root.sh script again.

    I have done a research trough many forums, but always the fail is on the second node, but my fail is on the first node.
    I hope anyone could help me.

  • Cant not run root.sh u01/app/oracle/product/10.2.0/crs/install/rootinstall:

    Hello,
    Production machine hardware was failed which caused to reinstall the clusterware after following deinstall steps of metalink doc., but facing problems like "error invoking ntcontab.o" and error in invoking target nnfgt.o and error in invoking target client_sharedlib"
    these errors are raising at reinstall time of clusterware, if I am ignoring installation is going on but finally its showing only root.sh and not not showing the message to execute root102.sh, and even if I am trying to execute root.sh then below is the permission error

    even after that I changed the file permission its further stuck at error can not open libcltsh.so.10.1 file size is too short.
    Does any one have any ides about it, I have raised SR at severity 1 as it is production server but no Reply yet.

    Hello,
    Thanks to reply, I have installed RAC 10g R2last month have to redo it coz of SAN connectivity driver failure and cross checked all the required RPMs again its all ok mean time I got a reply by metalink support as under
    As per bug
    Bug 4113186
    Looking at script /oracle/CRSHome/bin/ocrconfig, looks the installer didn't
    create the script properly as ORA_CRS_HOME is left null as below:
    ORA_CRS_HOME=

    Hence changing ORA_CRS_HOME to point to /oracle/CRSHome resolves this.
    Can you please help me out to understand these lines.

  • Oracle Grid Infrastructure 11.2.0.2 root.sh hangs in the second node

    Hi,
    I am installing Oracle Grid Infrastructure 11.2.0.2.0 using VM's. Both the virtual machines are running RHEL 5.7 32 bit version.
    Until the point where the installation suggests to run two scripts as root user, everything runs fine.
    root.sh runs successfully on the first node.
    On the second node it hangs at,
    Now product-specific root actions will be performed.

    Do anyone have any idea what going on and how can I fix it ?

    Hi,
    solaris has several issues with DISM, e.g.:
    Solaris 10 and Solaris 11 Shared Memory Locking May Fail (Doc ID 1590151.1)
    Sounds like Solaris Cluster  has a similar bug. A "workaround" is to reboot the (cluster) zone, that "fixes" the mlock error. This bug was introduced with updates in september, atleast to our environment (Solaris 11.1). Prior i did not have the issue and now i have to restart the entire zone, whenever i stop crs.
    With 11.2.0.3 the root.sh script can be rerun without prior cleaning up, so you should be able to continue installation at that point after the reboot. After the root.sh completes some configuration assistants need to be run, to complete the installation. You need to execute this manually as you wipe your oui session
    Kind Regards
    Thomas

    Dear customer, after went through the uploaded log files, we found the issue looks like
    bug 9732641 : The clusterware gpnpd process crashes when there is more than 1 cluster with the same name.
    To narrow down the issue, pls apply the following steps.
    1. Pls clean the previous configuration with below steps, then run root.sh script on node1 again.
    1.1 remove current configuration.

    1.2 remove other related files.
    if $GI_BASE/Clusterware/ckptGridHA_.xml still there, please remove it manually with "rm" command on all nodes
    If the gpnp profile is still there, pls clean up them, then rebuild require directories.
    $ rm -rf $GRID_HOME/gpnp/*
    $ mkdir -p $GRID_HOME/gpnp/profiles/peer $GRID_HOME/gpnp/wallets/peer $GRID_HOME/gpnp/wallets/prdr $GRID_HOME/gpnp/wallets/pa $GRID_HOME/gpnp/wallets/root
    2. After the previous configuration was cleaned up, pls rerun the root.sh script again. If the issue still there, pls upload the following:
    Everything under <GI_HOME>/log
    Everything under <ORACLE_BAES for grid user>/cfgtoollogs
    Everything under <GI_HOME>/cfgtolllogs/crsconfig
    OS log(/var/log/messages)
    3. Pls also make sure there is only one GI running on your cluster.

  • Root.sh failure during Grid install - segmentation fault for clscfg

    Hi anyone got any idea how to resolve the following error during execution of root.sh on second node of a RAC installation. I see there is a failure when clscfg -localadd is run - perhaps this is the start of the issue. I have no idea what this command is doing
    Any help appreciated

  • Non-Apple browsers cause cascading system hang with clean install of Lion

    It started with Google Chrome.  After a few hours of use, Chrome would randomly lock up one renderer at a time until it was completely unresponsive.  Console showed nothing conclusive in the logs, and would soon lock up itself.  Logged-in Terminal windows could sometimes get as far as a "ps auxc", but would lock up during the command output, and new Terminal windows or tabs would never get past login.  The SSH daemon would be dead in the water, preventing me from logging in remotely.  Any existing SSH connections would hang on the first command.  Activity Monitor would lock up the moment I tried to sample a process or interact with anything.  Interacting with SystemUIServer (pulling down the menu for the clock or trying to do a Spotlight search) would cause SystemUIServer to hang.  Same with the Dock.  My mouse was like the Midas of software failure: everything I touched turned to hang.  Eventually I'd be staring at a spinning beachball.  After a few (five to ten) minutes, it might perform a couple queued events (opening a window, switching to another application) but would usually become wedged again immediately, forcing me to hard restart.
    I then tried installing Firefox 5, and discovered that it causes the hang fairly reliably within the first ten seconds.  Since I knew when it was about to happen, I managed to capture a few stack traces in Activity Monitor, but it was always different, and always somewhere in the kernel (usually file-system related: __getattrlist while scanning fonts one time, the open system call another).
    Safari, on the other hand, works great.
    I've tried performing a verification of my startup disk, which returns no errors, so although I'm not ruling out hardware failure at this point the problem started immediately after I upgraded to Lion, and persisted even after I wiped my hard drive completely and performed a clean install from the recovery partition.  It also doesn't seem to be completely the fault of either Chrome or Firefox, since they're different browsers with different rendering engines using different system frameworks.  They do both perform a lot of file I/O, so maybe that's a clue.  Another possible lead is the seemingly random errors Console will spew out while the hang is occuring.  Most recently I've gotten a screenful of '--ImageKit Error: updateGLTextureWithBitmapData: glPixelStorei returned an error : 506 ...', and before that it was 'Google Chrome Helper: CGSLookupServerRootPort: Failed to look up the port for "com.apple.windowserver.active" (1100)', "kernel: IOSurface: buffer allocation size is zero".  Console spew being what it is, though, I don't know if any of that is relevant.
    I figure I would be seeing quite a lot of angry forum threads if Chrome and Firefox were completely unusable on other people's machines, so I'm guessing there's something specific to my configuration happening here.  With a clean install, though, I'm not sure what it could be.  Here are detailed system specs:
    24" iMac (Early 2008 -- just out of AppleCare coverage, figures) , 2.8 GHz, 2GB RAM, running Lion build 11A511 (which should be the 10.7 release version).
    I would be massively indebted to anyone who has experienced or heard about this issue before and can give me something else to try.

    Zeroing the disk serves no purpose in this situation.  It is a common misconception that this is required to map out bad blocks on the drive, but the fact is that 1) modern hard drives map out bad blocks as part of everyday operation, and 2) zeroing the drive involves simply writing zeros with no checks to see if the zero was written successfully, so it wouldn't know if a block was bad anyway.
    It's possible the drive is starting to go bad, although then there should be some problems with SL as well.  I would recommend repartitioning the drive with Disk Utility.  Make sure it's got one partition, using the GUID partition map scheme, and format that partition as Mac OS Extended (Journaled).  Repartitioning should get rid of any gremlins lurking on the disk, unless the physical disk itself is dying.  And after repartitioning, install straight from the flash drive, as Shootist recommends, rather than installing SL first.
    Hardware could be an issue.  It's entirely possible for an older system to work fine on slightly faulty hardware while a newer system does not.  Running Apple Hardware Test wouldn't be a bad idea.
    Firmware updates wouldn't be a bad idea.  However, note that my mid-2010 MBP with the same specs is running Lion just fine, and I've never installed any firmware updates.  (Firmware updates scare me...  if my machine is running just fine, I'm reluctant to risk installing new firmware.  But that's probably just a bit of paranoia talking.  )

    I have a MacBook 7,1 which i recently installed a PNY 250 SSD and added some RAM. The laptop was running awesome with OSX 10.6.8, lightning fast.
    Then I installed Yosemite. There was a bit of hang during the install, but Yosemite came up no issue when I rebooted. Here is the problem:
    Every other time I boot the MacBook it hangs at a grey screen with the prohibitory sign. Verbose reveals a "still waiting for root device" error. Now if I reboot from that hang, it boots fine, but then will hang again the next time. It keeps alternating like this. Any ideas??
    I am not running any third party trim software, so that's not the issue.
