Applies to:

Oracle Server - Enterprise Edition - Version: 10.1.0.2 to 11.2.0.1 - Release: 10.1 to 11.2
Information in this document applies to any platform.

Symptoms

Using 11.2. Grid Infrastructure, the database instances cannot be started via 'srvctl', but can be started via 'sqlplus'. The same spfile "+DATA/db302d/spfiledb302d.ora" is used for both srvctl and sqlplus:

[oracle@node1] /opt/oracle/admin/+ASM $ srvctl start database -d db302d
PRCR-1079 : Failed to start resource ora.db302d.db
ORA-01034: ORACLE not available

The associated oraagent_oracle.log (located in GRID_home/log/nodename/agent/crsd/oraagent_oracle/) shows similar messages:

Changes

New installation

Cause

The error is caused by following instance parameter setting:

log_archive_dest_1 = "LOCATION=$ORACLE_BASE/db302d/admin/arch/"

When using sqlplus to start the instance, the oracle user has the variable $ORACLE_BASE set in its environment (e.g. via the shell profile) , so this parameter can be translated.
However, when starting the instance via 'srvctl', the CRS daemon process will not execute the user's shell profile, instead it will only use any environment variables explicitly set in OCR.

As the ORACLE_BASE environment variable is not set in OCR, the startup via srvctl fails with ORA-16032.

Solution

Change log_archive_dest_1 to use the real path, eg:

alter system set log_archive_dest_1= "LOCATION=/opt/oracle/db302d/admin/arch/";

Or set the environment variable ORACLE_BASE in OCR using srvctl:

srvctl setenv database -d <name> -t ORACLE_BASE=/opt/oracle

After this, srvctl can start/stop the instance without issue.
