Mexman,

As per upgrade guide, you need to use same user “With Oracle Clusterware 11g release 1 and later releases, the same user that owned the Oracle Clusterware 10g software must perform the Oracle Clusterware 11g upgrade.”

How to resolves the issue of start ASM in the step to upgrade with OUI? I use the ‘grid’ user to upgrade from 10.2.0.4 to1.2.0.2.

Is this user part of same ‘osdba’ group as that of user which installed software?
If not then add it.

Hi,

When I try to install Grid infrastructure using os user different from the one to install DB, I faced a problem.

When I reached to creating db phase and the dbca started creating the db, it retuned the following errors:

PRCR-1079: Failed to start resource ora.oradb.db
ORA-12547: TNS lost contact
CRS-2674: start ora.oradb.db on ‘srv07′ failed

In order to see which command exactly caused the error, I created the scripts from DBCA and started to execute the commands manually. It turned out the errors were generated in the last stage of db creation as follows:

[oracle@srv07 scripts]$ /u01/app/oracle/product/11.2.0/db_1/bin/srvctl start database -d oradb
PRCR-1079 : Failed to start resource ora.oradb.db
ORA-12547: TNS:lost contact
ORA-12547: TNS:lost contact
CRS-2674: Start of ‘ora.oradb.db’ on ‘srv07′ failed

Mike,

Yeah it sounds strange. Can you create a new directory manually and ensure that its empty and retry the operation. If it fails you would definitely need to contact support as this could be bug.

I have a new install on a fresh VM Linux machine and I keep getting the INS-32025. I am trying to do the grid infrastructure install for a standalone database so that I can use ASM with 11GR2. I made sure the ORACLE_HOME and ORACLE_BASE are UNset. I get to the screen that asks for the oracle base and oracle home and no matter what i put, it fails. I have no oracle software installed, no oratab, no oracle anything on this machine. Any ideas please?

Gabriel,

You can use dbca in silent mode. Find below syntax for same

dbca -silent                             \
       -nodelist prod-001,prod-002\
       -createDatabase                     \
       -templateName General_Purpose.dbc   \
       -gdbName ORCL                       \
       -sid ORCL                           \
       -SysPassword oracle      \
       -SystemPassword oracle             \
       -emConfiguration NONE               \
       -storageType ASM                    \
         -asmSysPassword oracle \
         -diskGroupName DG_DATA01             \
       -characterSet AL32UTF8         \
       -totalMemory 3500

Cheers

Yes, you need to insall it before as you will be configuring and creating ASM instance and diskgroup.

I don’t have steps to conifgure my Vm. You can try http://oracle-base.com for steps.

Hi, Amit
Do I have to install and configure ASMLib Before get into Grid Infra?

Do you have the steps to configure your VM on Vmware and OEL5
