PRKC-1002报错的解决

在VMWare Server 1.0.8中安装Oracle RAC时, 碰到到了PRKC-1002错误:

WARNING: Error while copying directory /u01/oracle/product/10.2.0/db_1 with exclude file list 'null' to nodes 'rac2'. [PRKC-1002 : All the submitted commands did not execute successfully]

到Oracle技术支持找到了问题的原因如何解决:

Cause

This is because the date on the local node is higher than the date on the remote node(s). 

Solution

To fix this, set the times of the nodes to be the same.  You can do this with "ntpupdate <nodename>" to sync the dates.

就是解决时间同步后即可. 尽管我安装VMWare的tools之后,并勾选vmware-toolbox的Miscellaneous Options选项,但节点1的时间还是比节点2的快十几秒. 参考了一下《大话Oracle RAC》这本书, 决定选用NTP服务来使时间同步. 刚开始我是用节点1来做NTP服务的,但做完后发现节点1的时间还是比节点2的快几秒,为了保守起见, 我用节点2来做NTP服务.
