Further adventures in the world of RAC - Part 1

Greetings,

I successfully completed the CRS installation and have moved on to Install Oracle and configure ASM. My first try encountered some problems and so I wanted to begin again and did the following. Using srvctl stopped the ASM instance (it was created but I wasn't sure if it was created correctly) and it stopped on both nodes. Then, using the installer I uninstalled the ASMHOME, deleted the files, removed the reference from oratab and again tried the installer. This time the installer indicated that it found an ASM already there and that I had to take other steps. In fact crs_stat shows the asm instance...

$ ./crs_stat
NAME=ora.banacek.ASM1.asm
TYPE=application
TARGET=OFFLINE
STATE=OFFLINE NAME=ora.banacek.LISTENER_BANACEK.lsnr
TYPE=application
TARGET=OFFLINE
STATE=UNKNOWN on banacek
.
.
.

So I attempted to remove asm using srvctl which throws errors...

$ srvctl remove asm -n banacek
PRKS-1033 : Failed to remove configuration for ASM instance "+ASM1" on node "banacek" from cluster registry, [Error 0: oracle exe /opt/pkg/oracle/asmhome/bin/oracle not
found(scls_idq_get_oracle_user_id: stat:[1])   [Error 0: oracle exe /opt/pkg/oracle/asmhome/bin/oracle not found(scls_idq_get_oracle_user_id: stat:[1])]]   [Error 0: oracle exe /opt/pkg/oracle/asmhome/bin/oracle not found(scls_idq_get_oracle_user_id: stat:[1])   [Error 0: oracle exe /opt/pkg/oracle/asmhome/bin/oracle not found(scls_idq_get_oracle_user_id: stat:[1])]] $

Which indeed makes sense since I removed the /opt/pkg/oracle/asmhome directory.

Am I hosed or can I remove this occurrence of asm? Any help greatly appreciated.

Thanks.
