Uninstall Oracle 11gr2 RAC database in grid infrastructure

Hi all,
After several attempt to install my Oracle database RAC with grid infrastructure, i want now to do a fresh installation as i have attempted 3 times and now i have all the procedure on installing the database and RAC.
Actually i have installed it correctly but now i want to cleanup my server and remove all oracle installation directory and do a fresh installation.
My question is what is the procedure to uninstall an Oracle RAC database and Clusterware with grid infrastucture and cleanup oracle base installation.
The architecture is:
GRID and clusterware: Oracle grid 11gR2
Database: Oracle database 11gR2
Database and grid storage: ASM
OS: linux centos 6
Thank you.
Raluce.

The deinstallation of Oracle GI could be not so easy thing to do, because it contains many components one should be aware of. The proper deinstall is important because it will safe you from many issues with next install on these servers
In general we need to be sure that:
1. all sowftware stopped properly
2. removed from oraInventory
3. binaries removed
4. /etc/oracle cleared
5. ocr and votes cleared using dd
6. /etc/oratab updated
7. .profile updated
8. init.d files in /etc/ cleard
Usually its recommended to use deconfigure scripts, if they fails for some reason, the manual procedure should be followed.

How to Deinstall Oracle Clusterware Home Manually [ID 1364419.1]
As general recommendation its good idea to save your crs configuration for future reference.

How to install Oracle 11.2.0.4.0 Rac Database on Grid Infrastructure 12.1.0.2.0 (Windows 2012 R2)

Hi all.
This is the scenario:
I have a 2 node cluster Microsoft Windows 2012 R2 x86_64, the nodes are part of domain.
Installed Oracle 12cR1 (12.1.0.2.0) as follows:
Installation done using domain administrator named "installoracle" that has been EXPLICIT promoted to local administrator in both nodes.
One domain user named "oracle12c" with no administrator privileges neither in the domain or nodes.
Installation, after a lot of customization in the OS of the nodes, has gone ok, perfect indeed, not even a warning during runinstaller execution.
All services and resources are up & running, I have rebooted nodes and all comes back ok in place. In windows services I can see some services started with "oracle12c" user, and all windows groups: DBA, SYSKM, etc, has been created.
Now I have to install Oracle RAC database in 11gR2 version (11.2.0.4.0) to accomplish with application requirements.
So, I execute runInstaller (setup.exe) logged as administrator via domain administrator "installoracle" (the one that was able to do the smooth 12c GI installation) and the gui comes with out problems, but at 4th screen the one in which you have to choose what kind of installation you want to do (Single, RAC or RoN) I select RAC option, the gui returns error: crs is not running in the local node...
Finally, in order to deliver some database 11.2.0.4.0 for my customer, I try to do installation of SW for Single Node, I did using "installoracle". The sw has been installed in one of the nodes. Then I have created a database and I have stored datafiles in ASM (this ASM is part of 12c clusterware) and also register the 11gR2 single instance database in the Grid Infrastructure listener
So, whats next??? Why is this behavior??? I did similar installations in Linux/Solaris with no issue (well as everyone can imagine, always there are some issues, but when solved you got GI in 12c and databases in the release that you want 12c, 11g, 10g...)
Any clue?
Thanks in advance!!
Best Regards!!

To go back to old version (without changing compatible parameter), you can perform downgrade.
Instructions are available at
How to Downgrade from Database 11.2 to Previous Release (Includes 11.2.0.4 - 11.2.0.1) (Doc ID 883335.1)
In this case you will having all the data file including the new one.
But remember database may not be in the same status as before (Before upgrade). it may have invalid objects of higher version after downgrade.
Downgrade is applicable only to successfully upgraded databases. In case upgrade faced some issue, do not try downgrade there.
Your second approach it not correct. Note that each datafile header will have db version. We can not open database in normal mode when header version and binary versions are different.

Oracle 11gR2 rac database upgrade

Hi,
I need to upgrade Oracle 11.2.0.3 rac db (TB) to 11.2.0.4 in unix environment
database is 2 node rac with asm file structure. oracle home is shared by multiple databases.
Could anyone guide for best approach to proceed with this upgrade?
What changes are need to done in existing 11g cluster home and asm structure for this successful upgrade?
Thanks

Hi,
For Grid Upgrade you find complete details at - Things to Consider Before Upgrading to 11.2.0.3/11.2.0.4 Grid Infrastructure/ASM (Doc ID 1363369.1)
For DB Upgrade following note can help. You need to select the option 3 for RAC DB.

Oracle 11gR2 RAC : How to resume runInstaller to continue to install Grid ?

Folks,
Hello.
I am installing Oracle 11gR2 RAC using 2 Virtual Machines (rac1 and rac2 whose OS are Oracle Linux 5.6) in VMPlayer.
I have been installing Grid Infrastructure using runInstaller from step 1 to step 9 of 10 in both VM rac1 and rac2.
After finish running the script root.sh in VM rac1 and rac2, the Computer is shut down automaticall because I don't touch the keyboad for a long time. When I resume the Computer, runInstaller Wizard is gone. My question is:
How to resume runInstaller to continue to install Grid ?
Thanks.

Hi!
You can't resume runInstaller.
You must Clear you envinronment, and try again.

Reinstalling Oracle 11gR2 RAC Grid Problem - ASM Disks Group

Folks,
Hello.
I am installing Oracle 11gR2 RAC using 2 Virtual Machines (rac1 and rac2 whose OS are Oracle Linux 5.6) in VMPlayer.
I have been installing Grid Infrastructure using runInstaller in the first VM rac1 from step 1 to step 9 of 10.
On the step 9 of 10 in the Wizard, accidentally, I touch the Mouse, and the Wizard is gone.
The directory for installing Grid in the 2 VMs is the same: /u01
In order to make sure everything is correct, I delete entire directory /u01 in the 2 VMs and install Grid in rac1 again.
I have understood it's not the right way to delete /u01. The right way is to follow the tutorial
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E11882_01/install.112/e22489/rem_orcl.htm#CBHEFHAC
But I have deleted /u01 and need to fix one by one. I install Grid again and get the error message on step 5 of 9 as follows:
[INS - 30516] Please specify unique disk groups.
[INS-3050] Empty ASM disk group.
Cause - Installer has detected the disk group name provided already exists on the system.
Action - Specify different disk group.
In Wizard, the previous Disk Group name is "DATA" and its Candidate disks (5 ASMDISKs) are gone. I try to use a different name "DATA2", but no ASMDISKs come up under "Candidate disks". For "ALL Disks", all ASMDISKs cannot be selected.
I want to use the same ASM disk group "DATA" and don't want to create a new disk group.
My question is:
How to have the previous ASM disks and its group "DATA" come up under "Candidate Disks" so that can use it again ?
Thanks.

Hi, in case this helps anyone else. I got this INS-30516 error too was stumped for little while. I have 2 x 2-node RAC which are hitting same SAN. The first-built RAC has a DATA diskgroup. When went to build second RAC on new ASM disk new DIskgroup (but same diskgroup name DATA) got INS-30516 about diskgroup name already in use etc. Finally figured out all that was required was to restrict diskstring using button in installer to only retrieve the LUNS for this RAC (this was quick and dirty - all LUNS for both RAC being presented to both RAC). Once diskstring only searched for the LUNS required for this RAC only, e.g.
ORCL:DATA_P* (for DATA_PD and FRA_PD)
the error went away.
I also have DATA_DR and FRA_DR presenting to both RAC. Apparently it scans the header and if it finds a diskgroup name that is already in use based on the diskstring scan it will not allow reuse of the diskgroup name since it has no way of knowing that the other ASM disks are for a different RAC.

Oracle 11gR2 RAC: Running the script root.sh problem

Folks,
Hello. I am installing Oracle 11gR2 RAC using 2 Virtual Machines (rac1 and rac2 whose OS are Oracle Linux 5.6) in VMPlayer and according to the tutorial
http://appsdbaworkshop.blogspot.com/2011/10/11gr2-rac-on-linux-56-using-vmware.html
I have been installing Grid Infrastructure using runInstaller from step 1 to step 9 of 10 in both VM rac1 and rac2.
Now, I am running the script root.sh in VM rac1 and rac2 as below:
[root@rac1 /]# /u01/app/grid/root.sh
Output:

[root@rac2 /]#
As we see the output above, rac1 and rac2 get the same problems. in addition, rac2 fails to start ASM and Clusterware stack. Thus, I have 2 questions:
First, the common problem for rac1 and rac2 :
1)Module "oracleoks, oracleadvm, oracleacfs" not found
2)/dev/asm/.asm_ctl_spec not detected
3)ADVM/ACFS installation failed
Do the above 3 factors affect Grid and DataBase Installation later ? If yes, how to solve these problems ?
Second, how to start ASM and Clusterware stack in rac2 ?
Thanks.

you have 2 options:
1. OEL 5.6 comes with 2 kernels, the original Red Hat, and Oracle UEK, you can choose not to use UEK
or the one i would recommend:
2. Upgrade Grid Infrastructure,
*11.2.0.3.1* (patch 13348650, released about a 1 month ago) supports ACFS on UEK (starting with 2.6.32.200 IIRC)

Install 11gR2 RAC Database Problem: Invalid source path /.../Datafiles

Folks,
Hello. I am installing Oracle 11gR2 RAC using 2 VMs (rac1 and rac2) whose OS are Oracle Linux 5.6 in VMPlayer according to the website http://appsdbaworkshop.blogspot.com/2011/10/11gr2-rac-on-linux-56-using-vmware.html
I have just finished installing Grid infrastructure and start to install RAC database 11gR2.
I have downloaded 2 files from https://edelivery.oracle.com as below:
V17530-01_1of2
V17530-01_2of2
When I start to install the RAC database using the above 2 files but get the error below:

As we see the output above, the error is Invalid source path /../stage/Components/oracle.jdk/1.5.0.17.0/1/DataFiles.
My questions are:
First, are the files V17530-01_1of2 and V17530-01_2of2 the correct files for 11gR2 RAC database ?
Second, how to solve the issue "Invalid source path /../stage/Components/oracle.jdk/1.5.0.17.0/1/DataFiles" ?
Thanks.

Folks,
Hello. thanks a lot for replying.
I go up one level ( / ) and run the command again as below:

Its output:

[root@rac1 /]#
As we see the output above, it seems that 25GB disk space is used and /tmp occupies 9GB.
I have remove the files under /tmp but after reboot OS, the same files come up again under /tmp.
Some folks use 12GB for each of their VMs and is enough to install Grid and RAC Database.
My questions are:
Why my VM with 30GB disk space does not have enough disk space to install RAC database ?
Can any folk help to solve the issue ?
Thanks.

SCAN Name issue in Oracle 11gR2 RAC Installation

Hi,
I am trying to install Oracle 11gR2 RAC on VM ware and I got the INS-40922 (Invalid SCAN name). Do I need to create the SCAN name prior to the installation?
I have public,private, and VIP's. I am not sure how I create this SCAN Name. Please share your thoughts
Thanks

During installation of grid infrastructure SCAN will be automatically created. If you are using DNS then put the scan name and scan ip addresses entries in DNS . If you are not using dns/gns then put scanname and scan ipadress hosts file on each node in the cluster. Before installation, you should not be able to ping scan ipadresses.

Oracle 11gR2 RAC: how to solve "user profile creation mask failed" ?

Folks,
Hello.
I am installing Oracle 11gR2 RAC using 2 Virtual Machines (rac1 and rac2 whose OS are Oracle Linux 5.6) in VMPlayer.
I am using Cluster Verification Utility (CVU) to test the 2 nodes for Grid installation as follows:
[ora11g@rac1 grid] $ ./runcluvfy.sh stage -pre crsinst -n all -r 11gR2 -orainv ora11g -fixup -fixupdir /mydir -verbose
All items for rac2 are passed. There is only one item for rac1 is not passed as follows:
Check default user profile creation mask:
Node Name: rac1
Available: 0002
Required: 0022
Comment: failed
There are 3 ways to solve this issue:
1) In the file /etc/bashrc, change the line "umask 0002" to "umask 0022".
2) In the file /etc/profile, add line "umask 0022" at the end of the file.
3) In the file /etc/csh.cshrc, change the line "umask 002" to "umask 0022".
In rac2, I got the same issue in the past. I just change the line "umask 0002" to "umask 0022" in the file /etc/bashrc and the issue is solved.
But in rac1, I have tried each of the 3 options and also combined 1) and 2), 1) and 3), 2) and 3), 1) and 2) and 3). Totally, that's 7 options. But all of 7 options cannot solve the issue.
The script runcluvfy.sh still tests rac1 user profile creation mask failed. My question is:
Do any folk understand how to solve VM rac1 user profile creation mask problem ?
Thanks.

Folks,
Hello. I follow the document "Oracle Grid Infrastructure Installation Guide 11g Release 2 (11.2) for Linux E22489-04" and do the following:
[root@rac1 /]#echo $SHELL
Output: /bin/bash
This means we need to edit Bash shell file .bash_profile.
[ora11g@rac1 ~]$vi /home/ora11g/.bash_profile
Add this line: umask 022
Then I save the file .bash_profile and reboot OS.
Then I run the following command:
[ora11g@rac1 grid] $ ./runcluvfy.sh stage -pre crsinst -n all -r 11gR2 -orainv ora11g -fixup -fixupdir /mydir -verbose
But the reusult is the same. The issue is not solved as follows:
Check default user profile creation mask:
Node Name: rac1
Available: 0002
Required: 0022
Comment: failed
Do any folk understand how to solve VM rac1 user profile creation mask problem ?

Oracle 11gR2 RAC on Linux 5

Hi,
I am trying to setup Oracle 11gR2 RAC on Linux 5.4 64-bit machine. I have used OCFS2 for creating shared disks. Encountered with the following error message while installing "Grid Infrastructure".
[INS-30014] Unable to check wether the location specified is on CFS
[INS-40103] The installer has detected that the software location specified is on an OCFS2 partition.
[IS-41312] One or more locations specified for Oracle cluster Regestry (OCR) cannot be used.
[INS-41514] One or more locations specified for placing voting disks cannot be used.
-- At the time of configuration i have created 2 share disks, 1) For Oracle software 2) For voting disk and OCR
Provided the same details at time of Clusterware installation.
Please hel me.
Thanks,

Actually for both Oracle software and OCR i have used OCFS2. bcz earlier in Oracle 11g1 RAC i did the same and able to do smooth installation Well, you can no more do that with 11gR2 and it's clearly mentioned in 11gR2 Error messages documentation that configuration of grid Infrastructure software for a cluster is not supported on OCFS2 partition. You'll need to specify a location that is not an OCFS2 partition.
Search for the error INS-40103 message at http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E11882_01/server.112/e10880/giinstaller_errormessages.htm

Cannot Startup Grid in 11gR2 RAC after Install Grid Successfully

Folks,
Hello. I am installing Oracle 11gR2 RAC using 2 VMs (main VM rac1 and slave VM rac2) with Oracle Linux 5.6 according to the website http://appsdbaworkshop.blogspot.com/2011/10/11gr2-rac-on-linux-56-using-vmware.html

I am using the slave VM rac2 to test Grid and RAC database because rac1 disk is full.
The problem is that OCR file is not available or currupted in the slave VM rac2.

Install Oracle 11gR2 RAC : Cannot remove directory bootstrap under /tmp

Folks,
Hello. I am installing Oracle 11gR2 RAC using 2 Virtual Machines (rac1 and rac2 whose OS are Oracle Linux 5.6) in VMPlayer and according to the tutorial
http://appsdbaworkshop.blogspot.com/2011/10/11gr2-rac-on-linux-56-using-vmware.html
I am installing Grid infrastructure. I am on step 7 of 10 (verify Grid installation enviroment) and get this error:
"Free Space: Rac2: /tmp
Cause: Could not determine mount point for location specified.
Action: Ensure location specified is available.
Expected value: n/a
Actual value: n/a "
In order to fix the above error, I run "cluster verification utility" according to
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E14072_01/rac.112/e10717/cvu.htm I run the following command:
[ora11g@rac1 \]$ /home_grid/runcluvfy.sh stage -pre crsinst -n rac1,rac2 -verbose
Output:
/bin/rm: cannot remove directory '/tmp/bootstrap': Operation not permitted
./runcluvfy.sh:line 99:/tmp/bootstrap/ouibootstrap.log: permission denied
From the above output, we can see the directory bootstrap under /tmp causes the problem. The solution is to remove the directory bootstrap. I run the 2 commands:
[ora11g@rac1 tmp]$ rmdir bootstrap
Output: Operation not permitted
[ora11g@rac1 tmp]$ rm -rf bootstrap
Output: cannot remove bootstrap: Operation not permitted.
[ora11g@rac2 tmp]$ ls
Output: there is no 'bootstrap' directory.
My questions are:
First, does "cannot remove boostrap in rac1" cause that /tmp in rac2 could not be determine mount point ?
Second, can any folk help to remove the directory bootstrap under /tmp ?
Thanks.

Folks,
Hello. Thanks a lot for replying. I have just run the 2 commands:
[root@rac2 \]# chown -R ora11g:dba /u01
[root@rac2 \]# chmod -R 775 /u01
ora11g is the user who installs the Grid and /u01 is the directory where Grid is installed and dba is the group.
I go back to Grid Installer Step 7 of 10 in rac1 and check again and see as below:
Free Space: Rac2 : /tmp
Cause: Could not determine mount point for location specified.
Action: Ensure location specified is available
Expected Value: n/a
Actual Value: n/a
The problem is not solved after run the above 2 commands in rac2.
In addition, I have run Cluster Verification Utility using the command:
[ora11g@rac1 grid]./runcluvfy.sh stage -pre crsinst -n rac1,rac2 -r 11gR2 -orainv ora11g -verbose
Output: All of items for rac2 are passed. There is only one item for rac1 is failed as below:
Check default user file creation mask:
NodeName: rac1
Available: 0002
Required: 0022
Comment: failed
As we see above, the result of CVU command is not the same with Grid Installer step 7 of 10 (Installation Environment Verification):
CVU command doesn't find /tmp mount point problem for rac2 that Grid Installer does.
Grid Installer step 7 of 10 doesn't find user file creation mask problem for rac1 that CVU command does.
I have tried to find out whether creation mask failed for rac1 causes /tmp problem for rac2. I have changed the line "umask 002" to "umask 0022" for rac1 in each of the 3 files below and run CVU command each time for each file:
rac1:
/etc/bashrc
/etc/profile
/etc/csh.cshrc
But chang the line "umask 002" to "umask 0022" for rac1 in each of the above 3 files does not solve the problem.
My questions are:
First, why is the result of CVU command not the same with that of Grid Installer step 7 of 10 ?
Second, why change the line "umask 002" to "umask 0022" in 3 files can't solve creation mask problem for rac1 ?
Third, how to solve /tmp problem for rac2 and creation mask problem for rac1 ?
Thanks.

Oracle 11gR2 RAC - R language integration

Hello,
We want statistical language R integration with oracle database. Does this come with default installation of oracle database Oracle 11gR2 RAC ?
OR it requires EXADATA - BIGDATA (oracle appliance)?
Kindly let us know steps for installation /enabling R language ? Basically we are looking for 3 options (transparency, In-database, embedded). Optimal option choice is done automatically depending on R language script (I think R script needs to have different calls?)
Thanks

Please do NOT duplicate your questions here.
R is a language. Oracle is a database. You store data in a database. You write programs [using a language such as R] to extract and manipulate data from the database.

Uninstall Oracle 11gr2 RAC database in grid infrastructure
