Oracle Faq

Hi All,

While Installing Oracle 10g CRS on Windows I had encountered following problems and would like to discuss with you the solution which I used which can be helpful to you.

The Most Important thing to remember is generallly avoid installing CRS by taking a remote console and Install it on server itself.

Also During the Instalion monitor the log generated in the location

$ORACLE_BASE/oraInventory/logs/installAction.log

In the installAction.log following error can occur generally when Configuration Assistants Fail during installion of CRS.

PRIF-10: failed to initialize the cluster registry

Configuration assistant “Oracle Private Interconnect Configuration Assistant” failed

Starting up CRS stack on all nodes
node1 service OracleCSService in improper STOPPED state, err(997)
node2 service OracleCSService in improper STOPPED state, err(997)

OR

Starting up CRS stack on all nodes
node1 service OracleCSService in improper STOPPED state, err(0)
node2 service OracleCSService in improper STOPPED state, err(997)

OR

Starting up CRS stack on all nodes
oracletest1 failed to startup service OracleEVMService, err(1053)

OR

checking status of CRS cluster
configuring OCR repository
ignoring upgrade failure of ocr(-1073740972)
failed to configure Oracle Cluster Registry with CLSCFG, ret -1073740972
after installing the patch 3555863 the configuration failes with the same
problem

The possible solutions for the above errors are

If you are using OCFS for your OCR and Voting disk partitions, then you will probably need to:

1. Leave the OUI window in place
2. Reboot the 2nd node (& any additional nodes)
3. Retry the assistants

OR

There is a timing issue with start of the OracleCSService:

1. Leave the OUI window in place
2. Try starting the OracleCSService manually on all nodes (you may also need to manually start the OracleObjectService)
3. Retry the assistants

OR

C. You are on 2003 box and Automount of new drives is not enabled:

For RAC on Windows 2003, you are required to issue the following commands on all nodes:

C:\Documents and Settings\187222>diskpart

Microsoft DiskPart version 5.2.3790
Copyright (C) 1999-2001 Microsoft Corporation.
On computer: PAG1

DISKPART> automount

Automatic mounting of new volumes disabled.

DISKPART> automount enable

Automatic mounting of new volumes enabled.

If the Automount of the RAW disk is not enabled on windows 2003 platform and if u have started with crs installation then u have to clean up the installation and reinstall the crs but keeping automount enabled.
