Applies to:

Oracle Server - Enterprise Edition - Version: 11.2.0.1 and later   [Release: 11.2 and later ]
Information in this document applies to any platform.
 

Goal

This goal of the note is to provide reference to troubleshoot 11gR2 Grid Infrastructure clusterware startup issues. It applies to issues in both new environments (during root.sh or rootupgrade.sh) and unhealthy existing environments.  To look specifically at root.sh issues, see Note: 1053970.1 for more information. 
 

Solution

Start up sequence:

In a nutshell, the operating system starts ohasd, ohasd starts agents to start up daemons (gipcd, mdnsd, gpnpd, ctssd, ocssd, crsd, evmd asm etc), and crsd starts agents that start user resources (database, SCAN, listener etc).

For detailed Grid Infrastructure clusterware startup sequence, please refer to note 1053147.1

 

Cluster status

To find out cluster and daemon status:

 

$GRID_HOME/crsctl check crs
CRS-4638: Oracle High Availability Services is online
CRS-4537: Cluster Ready Services is online
CRS-4529: Cluster Synchronization Services is online
CRS-4533: Event Manager is online

$GRID_HOME/crsctl stat res -t -init

Case 1: OHASD.BIN does not start

As ohasd.bin is responsible to start up all other cluserware processes directly or indirectly, it needs to start up properly for the rest of the stack to come up.

Automatic ohasd.bin start up depends on the following:

1. OS is at appropriate run level:

OS need to be at specified run level before CRS will try to start up.

To find out at which run level the clusterware needs to come up:

 

cat /etc/inittab|grep init.ohasd
h1: 35 :respawn:/etc/init.d/init.ohasd run >/dev/null 2>&1 </dev/null

Above example shows CRS suppose to run at run level 3 and 5; please note depend on platform, CRS comes up at different run level.

To find out current run level:

 

who -r

2. "init.ohasd run" is up

On Linux/UNIX, as "init.ohasd run" is configured in /etc/inittab, process init (pid 1, /sbin/init on Linux, Solaris and hp-ux, /usr/sbin/init on AIX) will start and respawn "init.ohasd run" if it fails. Without "init.ohasd run" up and running, ohasd.bin will not start:

 

ps -ef|grep init.ohasd|grep -v grep
root      2279     1  0 18:14 ?        00:00:00 /bin/sh /etc/init.d/init.ohasd run

3. Cluserware auto start is enabled - its enabled by default

By default CRS is enabled for auto start upon node reboot, to enable:

 

$GRID_HOME/bin/crsctl enable crs

To verify whether its currently enabled or not:

 

cat $SCRBASE/$HOSTNAME/root/ohasdstr
enable

SCRBASE is /etc/oracle/scls_scr on Linux and AIX, /var/opt/oracle/scls_scr on hp-ux and Solaris

Note: NEVER EDIT THE FILE MANUALLY, use "crsctl enable/disable crs" command instead.

4. File System thats GRID_HOME resides is online when init script S96ohasd is executed; once S96ohasd is executed, following message should be in OS messages file:

 

Jan 20 20:46:51 rac1 logger: Oracle HA daemon is enabled for autostart.
..
Jan 20 20:46:57 rac1 logger: exec /ocw/grid/perl/bin/perl -I/ocw/grid/perl/lib /ocw/grid/bin/crswrapexece.pl /ocw/grid/crs/install/s_crsconfig_rac1_env.txt /ocw/grid/bin/ohasd.bin "reboot"

 

If you see the first line, but not the last line, likely the filesystem containing the GRID_HOME was not online while S96ohasd is executed.

5. Oracle Local Registry (OLR, $GRID_HOME/cdata/${HOSTNAME}.olr) is accessible

 

ls -l $GRID_HOME/cdata/*.olr
-rw------- 1 root  oinstall 272756736 Feb  2 18:20 rac1.olr

If the OLR is inaccessible or corrupted, likely ohasd.log will have similar messages like following:

 

..

6. ohasd.bin is able to access network socket files, refer to "Network Socket File Location, Ownership and Permission " section for example output.

 

Case 2: OHASD Agents does not start

OHASD.BIN will spawn four agents/monitors to start level resource:

  oraagent : responsible for ora.asm, ora.evmd, ora.gipcd, ora.gpnpd, ora.mdnsd etc
  orarootagent : responsible for ora.crsd, ora.ctssd, ora.diskmon, ora.drivers.acfs etc
  cssdagent / cssdmonitor : responsible for ora.cssd(for ocssd.bin) and ora.cssdmonitor(for cssdmonitor itself)

If ohasd.bin can not start any of above agents properly, clusterware will not come to healthy state; common causes of agent failure are that the log file or log directory for the agents don't have proper ownership or permission.

Refer to below section "Log File Location, Ownership and Permission " for general reference.
 
 

Case 3: CSSD.BIN does not start

Successful cssd.bin startup depends on the following:

1. GPnP profile is accessible - gpnpd needs to be fully up to serve profile

If ocssd.bin is able to get the profile successfully, likely ocssd.log will have similar messages like following:

 

2010-02-02 18:00:16.251: [    GPnP][408926240]clsgpnpm_exchange: [at clsgpnpm.c:1175] Calling "ipc://GPNPD_rac1", try 4 of 500...

Otherwise messages like following will show in ocssd.log

 

2010-02-03 22:26:17.057: [    GPnP][3852126240]clsgpnpm_connect: [at clsgpnpm.c:1100] GIPC gipcretConnectionRefused (29) gipcConnect(ipc-ipc://GPNPD_rac1)

2010-02-03 22:26:17.057: [    CSSD][3852126240] clsgpnp_getProfile failed , rc(13)

2. Voting Disk is accessible

In 11gR2, ocssd.bin discover voting disk with setting from GPnP profile, if not enough voting disks can be identified, ocssd.bin will abort itself.

 

2010-02-03 22:37:22.212: [    CSSD][2330355744]clssnmReadDiscoveryProfile: voting file discovery string(/share/storage/di*)

2010-02-03 22:37:22.228: [    CSSD][1145538880]clssscExit: CSSD signal 11 in thread clssnmvDDiscThread

If the voting disk is located on a non-ASM device, ownership and permissions should be:

-rw-r----- 1 ogrid oinstall 21004288 Feb  4 09:13 votedisk1

3. Network is functional and name resolution is working:

If ocssd.bin can't bind to any network, likely the ocssd.log will have messages like following:

 

2010-02-03 23:26:25.804: [GIPCXCPT][1206540320]gipcmodGipcPassInitializeNetwork: failed to find any interfaces in clsinet, ret gipcretFail (1)

2010-02-03 23:26:25.811: [    CSSD][1206540320]clssscmain: failed to open gipc endp

To validate network, please refer to note 1054902.1


4. Vendor clusterware is up (if using vendor clusterware)

Grid Infrastructure provide full clusterware functionality and doesn't need Vendor clusterware to be installed; but if you happened to have Grid Infrastructure on top of Vendor clusterware in your environment, then Vendor clusterware need to come up fully before CRS can be started, to verify:

 

$GRID_HOME/bin/lsnodes -n

Before the cluserware is installed, execute the command below:

 

$INSTALL_SOURCE/install/lsnodes -v

 

Case 4: CRSD.BIN does not start

Successful crsd.bin startup depends on the following:

1. ocssd is fully up

If ocssd.bin is not fully up, crsd.log will show messages like following:

 

2010-02-03 22:37:51.638: [ CSSCLNT][1548456880]clssscConnect: gipc request failed with 29 (0x16)
2010-02-03 22:37:51.638: [ CSSCLNT][1548456880]clsssInitNative: connect failed, rc 29
2010-02-03 22:37:51.639: [  CRSRTI][1548456880] CSS is not ready. Received status 3 from CSS. Waiting for good status ..

2. OCR is accessible

If the OCR is located on ASM and it's unavailable, likely the crsd.log will show messages like:

2010-02-03 22:22:55.186: [  OCRASM][2603807664]proprasmo: Error in open/create file in dg [GI]
[  OCRASM][2603807664]SLOS : SLOS: cat=7, opn=kgfoAl06, dep=15077, loc=kgfokge

2010-02-03 22:22:55.190: [    CRSD][2603807664][PANIC] CRSD exiting: Could not init OCR, code: 26

Note: in 11.2 ASM starts before crsd.bin, and brings up the diskgroup automatically if it contains the OCR.


If the OCR is located on a non-ASM device, expected ownership and permissions are:

-rw-r----- 1 root  oinstall  272756736 Feb  3 23:24 ocr


If OCR is located on non-ASM device and its unavailable, likely crsd.log will show similar message like following:

 

2010-02-03 23:14:33.583: [  OCROSD][2346668976]utopen:7:failed to open any OCR file/disk, errno=2, os err string=No such file or directory

2010-02-03 23:14:35.589: [    CRSD][2346668976][PANIC] CRSD exiting: OCR device cannot be initialized, error: 1:26

If the OCR is corrupted, likely crsd.log will show messages like the following:

 

2010-02-03 23:19:38.417: [ default][3360863152]a_init:7!: Backend init unsuccessful : [26]
2010-02-03 23:19:39.429: [  OCRRAW][3360863152]propriogid:1_2: INVALID FORMAT

2010-02-03 23:19:40.432: [    CRSD][3360863152][PANIC] CRSD exiting: OCR device cannot be initialized, error: 1:26

If owner or group of grid user got changed, even ASM is available, likely crsd.log will show following:

 

2010-03-10 11:45:12.510: [  OCRASM][611467760]proprasmo: Error in open/create file in dg [SYSTEMDG]

3. Network is functional and name resolution is working:

If the network is not fully functioning, ocssd.bin may still come up, but crsd.bin may fail and the crsd.log will show messages like:

 

2010-02-03 23:34:28.412: [    GPnP][2235814832]clsgpnp_Init: [at clsgpnp0.c:837] GPnP client pid=867, tl=3, f=0

Case 5: GPNPD.BIN does not start

1. Name Resolution is not working

gpnpd.bin fails with following error in gpnpd.log:

 

2010-05-13 12:48:11.540: [    GPnP][1171126592]clsgpnpm_exchange: [at clsgpnpm.c:1175] Calling "tcp://node2:9393", try 1 of 3...

In above example, please make sure current node is able to ping "node2", and no firewall between them.

 

Case 6: Various other daemons does not start

Two common causes:

1. Log file or directory for the daemon doesn't have appropriate ownership or permission

If the log file or log directory for the daemon doesn't have proper ownership or permissions, usually there is no new info in the log file and the timestamp remains the same while the daemon tries to come up.

Refer to below section "Log File Location, Ownership and Permission " for general reference.

2. Network socket file doesn't have appropriate ownership or permission

In this case, the daemon log will show messages like:

 

2010-02-02 12:55:20.485: [ COMMCRS][1121433920] clsclisten: Permission denied for (ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=ipc)(KEY=rac1DBG_GIPCD))

2010-02-02 12:55:20.485: [  clsdmt][1110944064]Fail to listen to (ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=ipc)(KEY=rac1DBG_GIPCD))

 

 

Case 7: CRSD Agents does not start

CRSD.BIN will spawn two agents to start up user resource -the two agent share same name and binary as ohasd.bin agents:

  orarootagent : responsible for ora.netn .network, ora.nodename .vip, ora.scann .vip and  ora.gns
  oraagent : responsible for ora.asm, ora.eons, ora.ons, listener, SCAN listener, diskgroup, database, service resource etc

To find out the user resource status:

If crsd.bin can not start any of the above agents properly, user resources may not come up.  A common cause of agent failure is that the log file or log directory for the agents don't have proper ownership or permissions.

Refer to below section "Log File Location, Ownership and Permission " for general reference.

 

$GRID_HOME/crsctl stat res -t

 

Network and Naming Resolution Verification

CRS depends on a fully functional network and name resolution. If the network or name resolution is not fully functioning, CRS may not come up successfully.

To validate network and name resolution setup, please refer to note 1054902.1

 

Log File Location, Ownership and Permission

Appropriate ownership and permission of sub-directories and files in $GRID_HOME/log is critical for CRS components to come up properly.

Assuming a Grid Infrastructure environment with node name rac1, CRS owner grid, and two separate RDBMS owner rdbmsap and rdbmsar, here's what it looks like under $GRID_HOME/log:

Please note most log files in sub-directory inherit ownership of parent directory; and above are just for general reference to tell whether there's unexpected recursive ownership and permission changes inside the CRS home . If you have a working node with the same version, the working node should be used as a reference.

 

Network Socket File Location, Ownership and Permission

Network socket files can be located in /tmp/.oracle, /var/tmp/.oracle or /usr/tmp/.oracle

Assuming a Grid Infrastructure environment with node name rac1, CRS owner grid, and clustername eotcs, below is an example output from the network socket directory:

 

drwxrwxrwt  2 root oinstall 4096 Feb  2 21:25 .oracle
