Verification of CRS Integrity Was Unsuccessful

While going through the routine checks from Grid Control, I found a critical alert stating “clusterware integrity check failed” and by clicking on this message it says that there is problem with some metric collections on RAC environment.

To check the node reachability status following query was run:

$ $CRS_HOME/bin/cluvfy comp nodecon -n all

This will check the internode connectivity for all nodes in the cluster. It came out with following message:

$ $CRS_HOME/bin/cluvfy comp nodecon -n all
Verifying node connectivity
Verification of node connectivity was unsuccessful on all the nodes.

Even the CRS component check was unsuccessful:

$ $CRS_HOME/bin/cluvfy comp crs -n all

It came out with the following message:

$ $CRS_HOME/bin/cluvfy comp crs -n all
Verifying CRS integrity
Verification of CRS integrity was unsuccessful on all the nodes.

After this it was quite obvious to check the CRS status:

$ crsctl check crs
CSS appears healthy
CRS appears healthy
EVM appears healthy

$crs_stat -t

$$CRS_HOME/bin/olsnodes

rac2

This confirmed that the CRS install is valid, but the question now is why the cluster verification utility (CVU) was failing?

To find the reason I enabled the tracing of CVU as:

$export SRVM_TRACE=true

It will set the environment variable SRVM_TRACE to true and tracing of CVU will generate a trace file under $CRS_HOME/cv/log with name like “cvutrace.log.X”

After setting this and again running $CRS_HOME/bin/cluvfy comp crs -n all trace file with name cvutrace.log.0 was generated.

And a message in cvutrace.log like

<strong>"ksh: CVU_10.2.0.2_dba/exectask.sh: cannot execute"</strong>

Now its is clear that oracle is not able to execute exectask.sh and cheking the permission and ownership of exectask.sh:

$CRS_HOME/cv/remenv
ls -ltr
-rw-r--r--  1 oracle dba    184 Jan  9  2008 exectask.sh
-rw-r--r--  1 oracle dba 268386 Jan  9  2008 exectask

The permission of these two files was changed. After changing the permission back to 755 CUV was showing correct results.

$chmod 755 exectask*

It is still not discovered how the permission of these files got changed.
