Hello all

having some problems that I can't see the reason for ... I've gone through the installation of the clusterware with OUI. Then, when asked to run root.sh, following happens:

./root.sh
WARNING: directory '/opt/app/oracle/product' is not owned by root Checking to see if Oracle CRS stack is already configured

Setting the permissions on OCR backup directory Setting up Network socket directories
PROT-1: Failed to initialize ocrconfig
Failed to upgrade Oracle Cluster Registry configuration

The "not owned by root" can be ignored. The problem is this, in log/`hostname`/client/ocrconfig_PID.log:

This appears to be an issue with the OCR devices... However, they're readable and writable:

  • 40 # dd if=/dev/emcpowerr of=/tmp/test bs=1024 count=1024 1024+0 records in 1024+0 records out
  • 41 # dd if=/tmp/test of=/dev/emcpowerr bs=1024 count=1024 1024+0 records in 1024+0 records out

For some reason, during the install of the software, when asked to enter the names for the OCR disks in OUI, the owner needed to be oracle:dba. So it was.

Now, after root.sh exits, the owner is changed to root. I don't see any evidence of a chown inside the scripts called by root.sh -- so it must be the binary doing this (????)

Checking on another, working install of 11g, the owner is oracle:dba (which makes sense).

Any ideas on what else I could check ?

Opening an SR as we speak, but perhaps someone else has fallen down this pit before :)

Cheers

Stefan
