Symptoms

After patching or relinking Grid Infrastructure home with proper procedure, ownership and permission of certain files were not restored to pre patch value. Steps to reproduce the problem:

1. Prior to the change:

env|grep GRID_HOME
GRID_HOME=/ocw/grid
env|grep HOST
HOSTNAME=eyrac2f
cd $GRID_HOME/log/$HOST
ls -l
drwxr-x--- 2 ogrid oinstall   4096 Mar 16 16:04 admin
drwxrwxr-t 4 root  oinstall   4096 Mar 16 16:04 agent
-rwxr-xr-x 1 ogrid oinstall 198690 Apr 13 21:28 alerteyrac2f.log
drwxr-x--- 2 ogrid oinstall   4096 Mar 16 16:06 client
drwxr-x--- 2 root  oinstall   4096 Apr 12 13:20 crsd
drwxr-x--- 2 ogrid oinstall   4096 Apr 11 05:33 cssd
drwxr-x--- 2 root  oinstall   4096 Apr 13 09:30 ctssd
drwxr-x--- 2 ogrid oinstall   4096 Apr 13 14:28 diskmon
drwxr-x--- 2 ogrid oinstall   4096 Mar 16 16:06 evmd
drwxr-x--- 2 ogrid oinstall   4096 Mar 16 16:04 gipcd
drwxr-x--- 2 root  oinstall   4096 Mar 16 16:04 gnsd
drwxr-x--- 2 ogrid oinstall   4096 Apr 13 15:18 gpnpd
drwxr-x--- 2 ogrid oinstall   4096 Mar 16 16:04 mdnsd
drwxr-x--- 2 root  oinstall   4096 Apr 11 00:04 ohasd
drwxrwxr-t 5 ogrid oinstall   4096 Mar 16 16:04 racg
drwxr-x--- 2 ogrid oinstall   4096 Apr 13 15:19 srvm

2. Unlock Grid Infrastructure home for patching or relinking, as root:

# $GRID_HOME/crs/install/rootcrs.pl -unlock -crshome $GRID_HOME

3. As grid user, relinking:

$ $GRID_HOME/bin/relink

    Alternatively for RDS protocol:

        $ cd $GRID_HOME/rdbms/lib
        $ make -f ins_rdbms.mk ipc_rds ioracle

    For UDP protocol:

        $ cd $GRID_HOME/rdbms/lib
        $ make -f ins_rdbms.mk ipc_g ioracle

or patching:

$ $GRID_HOME/OPatch/opatch napply -oh $GRID_HOME -local

4. Lock down Grid home, as root:

# $GRID_HOME/crs/install/rootcrs.pl -patch

5. Verify ownership and permission:

env|grep GRID_HOME
GRID_HOME=/ocw/grid
env|grep HOST
HOSTNAME=eyrac2f
cd $GRID_HOME/log/$HOST
ls -l

drwxr-xr-x 2 ogrid oinstall  4096 Apr 13 22:24 ohasd
drwxr-xr-x 5 ogrid oinstall  4096 Apr 13 15:07 racg
drwxr-xr-x 2 ogrid oinstall  4096 Apr 13 22:25 srvm

6. In Job Role Separation environment, database may fail to start or stop:

$GRID_HOME/bin/crsctl stat res -t

..
ora.db1.db
     1        OFFLINE UNKNOWN      node1
     2        OFFLINE UNKNOWN      node2
..

srvctl stop database -d db1 -f
PRCR-1065 : Failed to stop resource ora.db1.db
CRS-2680: Clean of 'ora.db1.db' on 'node1' failed
CRS-5802: Unable to start the agent process
CRS-2680: Clean of 'ora.db1.db' on 'node2' failed
CRS-5802: Unable to start the agent process

crsctl stop res ora.testdbp.db
CRS-2679: Attempting to clean 'ora.db1.db' on 'node1'
CRS-2679: Attempting to clean 'ora.db2.db' on 'node2'

Cause

The is due to unpublished bug 8797450

Solution

Bug 8797450 is fixed in 11.2.0.2 and 11.2.0.1.2, before the fix is ready, please use the following workaround:

cd $GRID_HOME/crs/install
cp -p crspatch.pm crspatch.pm.8797450

Edit crspatch.pm, locate and modify the following from:

   instantiate_scripts ();

   copy_wrapper_scripts ();

   set_file_perms ();

to:

   instantiate_scripts ();

   copy_wrapper_scripts ();

   create_dirs ();

   set_file_perms ();

Once crspatch.pm is modified, unlock and relock $GRID_HOME:

As root:

# $GRID_HOME/crs/install/rootcrs.pl -unlock -crshome $GRID_HOME
# $GRID_HOME/crs/install/rootcrs.pl -patch
