Sometimes an installed ACFS can cause trouble, especially if we don’t or can’t use it (e.g. when not using an UEK Linux kernel, like with SuSE Linux Enterprise Server SLES). There’s lots of documentation how to create and maintain ACFS file systems, but how to get rid of ACFS at all wasn’t so easy to […]

Oracle 11.2 PSU2 Grid Infrastructure stack start … failed to complete at crsconfig_lib.pm line 11814
Oh, sometimes it’s just (own or close-people’s) PEBKAC that costs you time and gray hair… Patching 11.2.0.4.x to PSU2 on Linux was such an issue. Problem “opatch auto” with all comfort worked well, applied the patch, but re-starting the clusterware failed with: Starting CRS… Installing Trace File Analyzer CRS-4123: Oracle High Availability Services has been […]
Oracle Clusterware root.sh issue: USM driver install actions failed (oracleoks.ko)
As I already said in my last post about “Can’t install ohasd service“, setting up Oracle Clusterware 11.2.0.4 on SuSE Linux Enterprise Server (SLES) SP2 should work flawlessly, but sometimes it does not. 🙂 This time, it was about the USM drivers. USM driver install actions failed /u01/app/grid/11.2.0/perl/bin/perl -I/u01/app/grid/11.2.0/perl/lib -I/u01/app/grid/11.2.0/crs/install /u01/app/grid/11.2.0/crs/install/rootcrs.pl execution failed USM drivers […]
Oracle 12c: Change hostname for Grid Infrastructure / Oracle restart
Few days ago, we cloned a VM test system with ASM. Changing the hostname in this case is mandatory from our network, we have lots of issues if they are duplicate. But changing an Oracle Restart or generally, Grid Infrastructure setup’s hostname isn’t so easy – it’s written many configs. The only way is to […]
Oracle Grid Infrastructure: 11.2.0.3.5 PSU on AIX: gipchaLowerRecv: invalid message header hdr
Just a quick note: if you plan to apply PSU 5 on top of 11.2.0.3 on AIX 6.1 or 7.1 – it has a known issue. CSSD will not start on the second node (depending on the order how you start OHASD in the cluster) and ocssd.log will show “gipchaLowerRecv: invalid message header hdr” with […]
Oracle Grid Infrastructure / ASM – ERROR: failed to update diskgroup resource ora.DATA.dg
Recently, when installing a database on a grid infrastructure, dbca failed with the message that it wasn’t able to establish the dependency between the database and the corresponding grid infrastructure resource of the DATA ASM disk group I was using for my data files. Its name would have been “ora.DATA.dg”. (ERROR: failed to establish dependency […]
Oracle Grid Infrastructure: How to recover from a messed up ASM/CSSD diskstring
Oracle Grid Infrastructure 11.2 with voting files and OCR in an ASM diskgroup can be a little tricky if you mess up the voting file voodoo. You know the basic situation? With Oracle Grid Infrastructure aka Oracle Clusterware, we are storing your cluster quorum and config repository (OCR) into a disk group. But CSSD needs […]
Oracle srvctl does not remove EONS despite it’s documented (PRKO-2013)
srvctl in Oracle Grid Infrastructure 11g Release 2 has at least one discrepancy between docs and functionality. I saw EONS consuming lots of memory in a non-database grid installation, and wanted to get rid of it. (The eONS is used by Oracle Enterprise Manager to receive notification of change in status of components managed by […]
Oracle Grid Infrastructure: UDEV fixing ORA-15081: failed to submit an I/O operation to a disk
If you plan to install Oracle products, be prepared for surprise of random kind. 🙂 The new Grid Infrastructure is no exception of this rule: I tried to install it on a SuSE Linux Enterprise Server (SLES) 10. Quick facts about the setup: SLES 10 SP 2 64bit Oracle Grid Infrastructure 11.2.0.1 x86_64 all devices […]
Oracle Grid Infrastructure 11gR2: How to clean up to repeat root.sh
To clean up a tilted installation of Oracle Grid Infrastructure isn’t that intuitive. I had to do it today, and this is my collection what to do and what to read. It’s made for repeating root.sh, that’s not allowed to run twice or more times without cleaning up in between. So first have a look […]
