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

By: Amit

Amit — Thu, 22 Apr 2010 06:14:47 +0000

Hi Aishwarya,

Grid software (for standalone installation i,e non-RAC) is required if you wish to use ASM. Otherwise to use DB, you need to install DB software alone. So answer to your first question is Yes.

Listener will be running from GRID_HOME. Check using ps -ef|grep tns
You should see a listener running from your grid home

Hi Amit,

Thanks for the quick guide for 11gr2 installation. It’s very helpful. I went through the entire blog including the two videos. You have installed GRID and then just created and configured the Database. I am new to Oracle and especially 11gr2.

My question is: Do we require to install the software(oracle binaries) if grid is installed before?

I installed and configured GRID successfully on standalone server. But when i try to configure LISTENER for the oracle software, it says that the LISTENER is already configured.
