I have installed RAC on AS-4 platform. cluster and database s/w is installed successfully however when i try to install ASM i am getting an following error.

PKRS-1009 : failed to start ASM instance.

CRS-1005: failed to get required resources.

CRS:0223: node 1 has placement erro.

could you please help me on this?

Thanks,

What do you mean by installing ASM??

Are you trying to start ASM instance and getting these errors?

What is the command that you are using?

Is ASM and Oracle home are same?

Check the “STATE” of ASM resource using “$ crs_stat -t”

If it is UNKNOWN then use “crs_stop -f <resource_name>” to stop the resource and then try to start again.

1. For errors “FAILED TO START ASM INSTANCE”:

Check your sqlnet.ora file, if there is any line like: SQLNET.AUTHENTICATION_SERVICES=(NTS)

Remove this line and try again.

2. For vip not getting started “CRS-1006: No more members to consider”:

It is very difficult error to sort out. You have to set tracing to know the exact reason for this.

I had this issue one time and eventually I had to recreate the entire system. But you can try to Remove the VIP resource and add it again and see what happens. Also what is the output of :

$srvctl config nodeapps -n <nodename> -a -g -s -l

Permissions on init+ASM2.ora is right.I am only facing this problem when i was starting ASM through srvctl command otherwise it’s working fine.

Please note this point.
