User equivalence test failed (RAC setup in Windows)

I am trying to set up user equivalence between 2 nodes, following instructions from "Oracle® Database Oracle Clusterware and Oracle Real Application Clusters Installation Guide 10g Release 2 (10.2) for Windows"
The Administrator account on both nodes have the same password. But the test failed. I can't find any trouble shooting doc from metalink.
Anyone can help?
Thank you very much.
Laura

Hi, Try to create a domain account and this domain account should be explicitly set in the local admin group for each node.
Bye
also check Note:388730.1 that can help on windows.

User equivalence check failed (RAC setup)

Hello All,
I am trying to set up user equivalence between 2 nodes, following instructions from "Oracle® Database Oracle Clusterware and Oracle Real Application Clusters Installation Guide 10g Release 2 (10.2) for Solaris Operating System (SPARC 64-Bit)"
I have created user accounts on both nodes, .ssh folder with appropriate permissions, dsa and rsa keys on both nodes, copied them to authorized_keys on halfway, and scp authorozed_keys to wabasca. Now I am able to do 'ssh wabasca date' and 'ssh halfway date' on each node without being asked for password or passphrase:
$ whoami
ora10gr2
$ hostname
halfway
$ ssh halfway date
Thu Oct 6 16:51:37 MDT 2005
$ ssh wapiti date
Thu Oct 6 16:51:11 MDT 2005
$
$ whoami
ora10gr2
$ hostname
wapiti
$ ssh halfway date
Thu Oct 6 16:52:04 MDT 2005
$ ssh wapiti date
Thu Oct 6 16:51:38 MDT 2005
$Yet, the CVU verification of user equivalence fails:
$ whoami
ora10gr2
$ hostname
halfway
$ /Oracle10/cvu/bin/cluvfy comp admprv -n halfway,wapiti -o user_equiv -sshonly -verbose
Verifying administrative privileges
Checking user equivalence...
Check: User equivalence for user "ora10gr2"

wapiti                                failed
halfway                               failed
Result: User equivalence check failed for user "ora10gr2".
Verification of administrative privileges was unsuccessful on all the nodes.
$If I can 'ssh <nodename> date' sucessfully what may cause the CVU check of user equivalence to fail? (I see that timing is off between these 2 machines...)
Thank you very much for your time.

It turns out that CVU is also requiring scp to be in /usr/local/bin; the idiot thing doesn't even try to use the scp that's in the execution $PATH, and on Solaris ends up failing silently early in the script (when ssh is in /usr/local/bin and scp is not).
I was finally able to figure out what was foobar'ed by turning on the trace mode and reviewing the logs:
export SRVM_TRACE=true
cluvfy stage -pre crsinst -n tri1-ora1,tri1-ora2 -verbose
This leaves you with log files in the CVU installation directory, under [CVU_HOME]/cv/log/; in mine I found...

Whoever programmed this thing seems slightly naive about host environment checking. Also, the Sun ssh package by default installs ssh and scp in /usr/bin; it's pretty popular to install the 3rd-party package that goes into /usr/local/bin though...

User equivalence check failed in solaris 10

Hi,
i am trying to install oracle clusterware on solaris10.
when i executed clusture varification utility , user equivalence test is failed.
each node have same username,userid,group id
and i configured SSH also using
exec /user/bin/ssh-agent
/usr/bin/ssh-add after generation of rsa and dsa keys and putting this to authorization file.
it is not asking password for ssh and scp after executing this command but again user equivalence check failed
but after logging of and do login again to oracle user its not working. then again i have to set ssh that is
exec /user/bin/ssh-agent
/usr/bin/ssh-add
wat else i have to check for this?
can sombody help me to solve this

I also checked in .kshrc file and there is no tty entry in that file. and I have also setup /etc/hosts.equiv file on all the node.
I still get the user equivalance error. Can anybody help me in this ?

Hi,
thanks.
i need some more help because first time i am working on RAC,
i am also having User equivalence check failed for user "oracle"
i got two machines, one is IBM machine and one is DELL machine installed with solais 10 (AIX installation). both machines are not connected by private network now. and no shared external HDD available now. it will take one week time to set up the HW. the user equivalence check depends the above two factors?
now public network is available and node reachability test "passed"
could you please tell me what may be the reason for the user equivalence check in my case. details are given below
i have oracle user in both machine. user creation done through SMC. home directory is /export/home/oracle
the following are the details.
1) $ ssh pc000905 id -a oracle
Enter passphrase for key '/home/oracle/.ssh/id_rsa':
uid=100(oracle) gid=300(oinstall) groups=301(dba)
$ ssh pc026376 id -a oracle
Enter passphrase for key '/home/oracle/.ssh/id_rsa':
uid=100(oracle) gid=300(oinstall) groups=301(dba)
2) user nobody exists.
3) all files n .ssh directory have same permissions.
4) ssh and scp is working with out password(rsa and dsa keys generated).
5) oracle user is using bourne shell
6)soft link of /usr/bin/ssh and /usr/bin/scp are created to /export/home/oracle/bin
7)ForwardX11 is "yes" in sshd_config
8) created a config file in .ssh directory and ForwardX11 is "no" in that file
8) umask =022 in both nodes.

No, no banners. And I followed note 300548.1 to the letter. Several times :-)
However, I believe my issue has to do with a CVUHOME/cv/admin/cvu_config.
According to the documentation:
CV_XCHK_FOR_SSH_ENABLED—If set to TRUE, it enables the X-Windows check for verifying user equivalence with ssh. By default, this entry is commented out and X-Windows check is disabledIt was not, unfortunately, disabled by default - once I set it to false, everything succeeded. I still need to figure out why XCHK itself is failing, but I think I can troll through the log to figure that out.

Hi,
The subject of thread "*PRVF-4007 : User equivalence check failed for user "grid*"
Now..

If you can see are different issue.
If you are using DSN to resolve hostname "vmorarac-scan.pbi.global.pvt" check with "nslookup" if the name is resolved correctly.
If you are using Hosts File to resolve hostname "vmorarac-scan.pbi.global.pvt" you must configure only one ip (152.144.199.201) to resolve "vmorarac-scan.pbi.global.pvt" this entrie must be on host file of all nodes of cluster.

Did you do Configure SSH for User Equivalence ?
Or
Did you Establish User Equivalence ?
If yes.. please check...
$ ssh rac hostname
rac
$ ssh rac2 hostname
rac2
You should Establish User Equivalence before...

Last time I saw that, the password-less SSH was working only in one direction. Root cause was not quite following the instructions to copy the authorized_keys to all nodes.

Hi
Which user equivalence you have configured rsh or ssh.If you have configured through ssh check it as oracle user through
ssh <nodename> <command>
if you have configure rsh then you need to create hosts.equiv file inside /etc/ and give proper permission to oracle user.Before installing clusterware I used CVU and its shown me passed for user equivalence .

RAC : User equivalence check failed

Hi All,
Platform linux CentOS 4.5 and oracle 10g.
I facing an issue with " user equivalence failed" while executing cluvfy command. On accessing node 2 from node 1 using ssh it is asking for password(oracle user) after configuring SSH. I have configured RAC earlier also but this time i could not figure out the issue with SSH.
I have removed SSH client and installed it fresh and try to configure however faced the same result.
Any help would be highly appreciated.

Hi,
I have deletd ~/.ssh (rm -fr) directory which contained dsa,rsa,dsa.pub,rsa.pub and known_hosts. Yes i'm using vmware server 1.02.
I have configured RAC earlier using same vmware and os version.

Configure shared storage (RAC setup in Windows)

Hi,
Can I use mapped drive instead of direct connect to the external drive while configuring the shared storage?
My problem is:
I have a LaCie Group SA LaCie Big Disk Extreme LUN 0 IEEE 1394 SBP2 Device (500g). It can only be directly attached to one node because there is only one FW400 port. When I use switch and tried to connect both nodes directly to the device by switch, only one node show it as a disk drive. On another node, the device is utomatically stopped by windows and unaccessible.
Then I tried to map it, but the shared storage test failed.
Any idea?
Thanks

Hi.
I struggled with this problem, but then I gave up and used VMware to solve the problem:
