Hi,

SLES9 SP3 X86_64, Oracle Clusterware+ASM+DB 10.1.0.3, 2 nodes

I want to upgrade the clusterware from 10gR1 to 10gR2 as a rolling upgrade.

At the last step of OUI - starting root.sh - my machine tries to start CRS but then it reboots.

What I did:
* I checked the requirements (packages, kernel parameters, user
equivalence ...). checked manually and with cluvfy
* I ran preupdate.sh, stopped CRS on the first node

started runInstaller and chose the first node in my cluster
... OUI works ...
OUI wants me to start root.sh, did this as root
##?$%§# my node reboots after it tried to start CRS. There was no chance to finish OUI, root.sh hasn't finished
...my node permanently reboots...

I couldn't find any document that describes the upgrade of clusterware as a rolling upgrade - only some hints (e.g. only select one node in OUI...). I'm not sure if I missed something, so does anyone know the correct steps? Are there any additional hints?

Thanks,
