Procedure

Installation Attempt #3

Followed my procedure in Install GI 12.1.0.2. However, at Step 16: Prerequisite Checks, I ended up with the following errors:

The details of the errors were:

Verified Installation of CVUQDISK Package

I used the following command to verify the correct version of the cvuqdisk was installed:

sudo yum list installed cvuqdisk*

The following output confirmed that the package has been installed:

Loaded plugins: ulninfo Installed Packages cvuqdisk.x86_64 1.0.9-1 installed

Verified avahi-daemon Active

I used the following command to verify that the avahi-daemon was active:

sudo systemctl status avahi-daemon

The following output confirmed that the daemon is running:

• avahi-daemon.service - Avahi mDNS/DNS-SD Stack Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system/avahi-daemon.service; enabled; vendor preset: enabled) Active: active (running) since Sat 2017-12-02 13:46:01 AEDT; 5h 25min ago Main PID: 651 (avahi-daemon) Status: "avahi-daemon 0.6.31 starting up."

However, the message returned by the installer is misleading. When I get the details, I see instead:

I fixed this by running the following command:

sudo systemctl stop avahi-daemon

The output was:

Warning: Stopping avahi-daemon.service, but it can still be activated by: avahi-daemon.socket

I ignored the remaining prerequisites, and continued the installation.

Run Root Scripts

After the root scripts failed again in Step 18: Install Product, I decided to run the root script manually as follows:

sudo /opt/app/grid_infra/12.1.0/grid/root.sh

The output was:

Performing root user operation.

This is not very helpful.

Check ASM Status

Since the output of the root script said that ASM was started successfully, I checked the status of ASM by using the following command:

/opt/app/grid_infra/12.1.0/grid/bin/srvctl status asm

The output was:

PRCR-1070 : Failed to check if resource ora.asm is registered CRS-0184 : Cannot communicate with the CRS daemon.

At this stage, I am unable to continue. I do not know what the underlying error is.
