APPLIES TO:

Oracle Database - Enterprise Edition - Version 11.2.0.1 and later

Information in this document applies to any platform.

PURPOSE

This note is to provide reference to troubleshoot 11gR2 and 12c 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.

SCOPE

This document is intended for Clusterware/RAC Database Administrators and Oracle support engineers.

DETAILS

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/bin/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

To start an offline daemon - if ora.crsd is OFFLINE:

$GRID_HOME/bin/crsctl start res ora.crsd -init

Case 1: OHASD 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. If ohasd.bin is not up, when checking it's status, CRS-4639 (Could not contact Oracle High Availability Services) will be reported; and if ohasd.bin is already up, CRS-4640 will be reported if another start up attempt is made; if it fails to start, the following will be reported:

CRS-4124: Oracle High Availability Services startup failed.

CRS-4000: Command Start failed, or completed with errors.

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

Note: Oracle Linux 6 (OL6) or Red Hat Linux 6 (RHEL6) has deprecated inittab, rather, init.ohasd will be configured in upstart in /etc/init, however, the process ""/etc/init.d/init.ohasd run" should still be up.

If any rc Snncommand script (located in rcn.d, example S98gcstartup) stuck, init process may not start "/etc/init.d/init.ohasd run"; please engage OS vendor to find out why relevant Snncommand script stuck.

Error "[ohasd(<pid>)] CRS-0715:Oracle High Availability Service has timed out waiting for init.ohasd to be started." may be reported of init.ohasd fails to start on time.

If SA can not identify the reason why init.ohasd is not starting, the following can be a very short term workaround:

cd <location-of-init.ohasd>

nohup ./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:

$GRID_HOME/bin/crsctl config crs

If the following is in OS messages file

Feb 29 16:20:36 racnode1 logger: Oracle Cluster Ready Services startup disabled.

Feb 29 16:20:36 racnode1 logger: Could not access /var/opt/oracle/scls_scr/racnode1/root/ohasdstr

The reason is the file does not exist or not accessible, cause can be someone modified it manually or wrong opatch is used to apply a GI patch(i.e. opatch for Solaris X64 used to apply patch on Linux).

Jan 20 20:46:51 rac1 logger: Oracle HA daemon is enabled for autostart.

If you don't see above message, the other possibility is syslogd(/usr/sbin/syslogd) is not fully up. Grid may fail to come up in that case as well. This may not apply to AIX.

To find out whether OS is able to execute S96ohasd while node is coming up, modify S96ohasd:

From:

case `$CAT $AUTOSTARTFILE` in

enable*)

$LOGERR "Oracle HA daemon is enabled for autostart."

To:

case `$CAT $AUTOSTARTFILE` in

enable*)

/bin/touch /tmp/ohasd.start."`date`"

$LOGERR "Oracle HA daemon is enabled for autostart."

After a node reboot, if you don't see /tmp/ohasd.start.timestamp get created, it means OS stuck with some other Snn script. If you do see /tmp/ohasd.start.timestamp but not "Oracle HA daemon is enabled for autostart" in messages, likely syslogd is not fully up. For both case, you will need engage System Administrator to find out the issue on OS level. For latter case, the workaround is to "sleep" for about 2 minutes, modify ohasd:

From:

case `$CAT $AUTOSTARTFILE` in

enable*)

$LOGERR "Oracle HA daemon is enabled for autostart."

To:

case `$CAT $AUTOSTARTFILE` in

enable*)

/bin/sleep 120

$LOGERR "Oracle HA daemon is enabled for autostart."

5. File System that 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.

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

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:

2010-01-24 22:59:10.470: [ default][1373676464] Initializing OLR

ohasd.bin comes up but output of "crsctl stat res -t -init"shows no resource, and "ocrconfig -local -manualbackup" fails

The solution is to restore a good backup of OLR with "ocrconfig -local -restore <ocr_backup_name>".

By default, OLR will be backed up to $GRID_HOME/cdata/$HOST/backup_$TIME_STAMP.olr once installation is complete.

7. ohasd.bin is able to access network socket files:

2010-06-29 10:31:01.570: [ COMMCRS][1206901056]clsclisten: Permission denied for (ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=ipc)(KEY=procr_local_conn_0_PROL))

2010-06-29 10:31:01.571: [ OCRSRV][3267002960]th_init: Local listener did not reach valid state

In Grid Infrastructure cluster environment, ohasd related socket files should be owned by root, but in Oracle Restart environment, they should be owned by grid user, refer to "Network Socket File Location, Ownership and Permission" section for example output.

8. ohasd.bin is able to access log file location:

OS messages/syslog shows:

Feb 20 10:47:08 racnode1 OHASD[9566]: OHASD exiting; Directory /ocw/grid/log/racnode1/ohasd not found.

Refer to "Log File Location, Ownership and Permission" section for example output, if the expected directory is missing, create it with proper ownership and permission.

9. After node reboot, ohasd may fail to start on SUSE Linux after node reboot, refer to note 1325718.1 - OHASD not Starting After Reboot on SLES

10. OHASD fails to start, "ps -ef| grep ohasd.bin" shows ohasd.bin is started, but nothing in $GRID_HOME/log/<node>/ohasd/ohasd.log for many minutes, truss shows it is looping to close non-opened file handles:

15058/1: 0.1995 close(2147483646) Err#9 EBADF

15058/1: 0.1996 close(2147483645) Err#9 EBADF

Call stack of ohasd.bin from pstack shows the following:

_close sclssutl_closefiledescriptors main ..

The cause is bug 11834289 which is fixed in 11.2.0.3 and above, other symptoms of the bug is clusterware processes may fail to start with same call stack and truss output (looping on OS call "close"). If the bug happens when trying to start other resources, "CRS-5802: Unable to start the agent process" could show up as well.

11. Other potential causes/solutions listed in note 1069182.1 - OHASD Failed to Start: Inappropriate ioctl for device

12. ohasd.bin started fine, however, "crsctl check crs" shows only the following and nothing else:

CRS-4638: Oracle High Availability Services is online

And "crsctl stat res -p -init" shows nothing

The cause is that OLR is corrupted, refer to note 1193643. to restore.

13. If ohasd still fails to start, refer to ohasd.log in <grid-home>/log/<nodename>/ohasd/ohasd.log and ohasdOUT.log

Case 2: OHASD Agents do not start

OHASD.BIN will spawn four agents/monitors to start 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.

1. 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.

2. If agent binary (oraagent.bin or orarootagent.bin etc) is corrupted, agent will not start resulting in related resources not coming up:

2011-05-03 11:11:13.189

The solution is to compare agent binary with a "good" node, and restore a good copy.

Case 3: OCSSD.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

ocssd.bin may not come up with the following error if all nodes failed while there's a voting file change in progress:

2010-05-02 03:11:19.033: [ CSSD][1197668093]clssnmCompleteInitVFDiscovery: Detected voting file add in progress for CIN 0:1134513465:0, waiting for configuration to complete 0:1134513098:0

The solution is to start ocssd.bin in exclusive mode with note 1364971.1

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)

If there's connectivity issue on private network (including multicast is off), likely the ocssd.log will have messages like following:

Before the clusterware is installed, execute the command below as grid user:

$INSTALL_SOURCE/install/lsnodes -v

5. Command "crsctl" being executed from wrong GRID_HOME

Command "crsctl" must be executed from correct GRID_HOME to start the stack, or similar message will be reported:

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)

2. OCR is accessible

If the OCR is located on ASM, ora.asm resource (ASM instance) must be up and diskgroup for OCR must be mounted, if not, 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]

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:

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

If pid file does not exist, $GRID_HOME/log/$HOST/agent/ohasd/orarootagent_root/orarootagent_root.log will have similar like the following:

The solution is to create a dummy pid file ($GRID_HOME/crs/init/$HOST.pid) manually as grid user with "touch" command and restart resource ora.crsd

If pid file does exist and the PID in this file references a running process which is NOT the crsd.bin process, $GRID_HOME/log/$HOST/agent/ohasd/orarootagent_root/orarootagent_root.log will have similar like the following:

2011-04-06 15:54:11.514: [ora.crsd][1146542400] [clean] Trying to check PID = 1535

To verify on OS level:

ls -l /ocw/grid/crs/init/*pid

-rwxr-xr-x 1 ogrid oinstall 5 Feb 17 11:00 /ocw/grid/crs/init/racnode1.pid

cat /ocw/grid/crs/init/*pid

1535

ps -ef| grep 1535

root 1535 1 0 Mar30 ? 00:00:00 iscsid >> Note process 1535 is not crsd.bin

The solution is to create an empty pid file and to restart the resource ora.crsd, as root:

# > $GRID_HOME/crs/init/<racnode1>.pid

# $GRID_HOME/bin/crsctl stop res ora.crsd -init

# $GRID_HOME/bin/crsctl start res ora.crsd -init

4. 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:

5. crsd executable (crsd.bin and crsd in GRID_HOME/bin) has correct ownership/permission and hasn't been manually modified, a simply way to check is to compare output of "ls -l <grid-home>/bin/crsd <grid-home>/bin/crsd.bin" with a "good" node.

6. To troubleshoot further, refer to note 1323698.1 - Troubleshooting CRSD Start up Issue

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...

2010-05-13 12:48:11.541: [ GPnP][1171126592]clsgpnpm_connect: [at clsgpnpm.c:1066] GIPC gipcretFail (1) gipcConnect(tcp-tcp://node2:9393)

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

2. bug 10105195

Due to bug 10105195, gpnp dispatch is single threaded and could be blocked by network scanning etc, the bug is fixed in 11.2.0.2 GI PSU2, 11.2.0.3 and above, refer to note 10105195.8 for more details.

Case 6: Various other daemons do not start

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))

3. OLR is corrupted

In this case, the daemon log will show messages like (this is a case that ora.ctssd fails to start):

2012-07-22 00:15:16.565: [ default][1]clsvactversion:4: Retrieving Active Version from local storage.

2012-07-22 00:15:16.575: [ CTSS][1]clsctss_r_av3: Invalid active version [] retrieved from OLR. Returns [19].

2012-07-22 00:15:16.585: [ CTSS][1](:ctss_init16:): Error [19] retrieving active version. Returns [19].

2012-07-22 00:15:16.585: [ CTSS][1]ctss_main: CTSS init failed [19]

2012-07-22 00:15:16.585: [ CTSS][1]ctss_main: CTSS daemon aborting [19].

2012-07-22 00:15:16.585: [ CTSS][1]CTSS daemon aborting

The solution is to restore a good copy of OLR note 1193643.1

Case 7: CRSD Agents do 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:

$GRID_HOME/crsctl stat res -t

If crsd.bin can not start any of the above agents properly, user resources may not come up.

1. 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.

2. Agent may fail to start due to bug 11834289 with error "CRS-5802: Unable to start the agent process", refer to Section "OHASD does not start" #10 for details.

Case 8: HAIP does not start

HAIP may fail to start with various errors, i.e.

[ohasd(891)]CRS-2807:Resource 'ora.cluster_interconnect.haip' failed to start automatically.

Refer to note 1210883.1 for more details of HAIP

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.

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

When socket file has unexpected ownership or permission, usually daemon log file (i.e. evmd.log) will have the following:

2011-06-18 14:07:28.545: [ COMMCRS][772]clsclisten: Permission denied for (ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=ipc)(KEY=racnode1DBG_EVMD))

2011-06-18 14:07:28.545: [ clsdmt][515]Fail to listen to (ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=ipc)(KEY=lena042DBG_EVMD))

2011-06-18 14:07:28.545: [ clsdmt][515]Terminating process

2011-06-18 14:07:28.559: [ default][515] EVMD exiting on stop request from clsdms_thdmai

And the following error may be reported:

CRS-5017: The resource action "ora.evmd start" encountered the following error:

CRS-2674: Start of 'ora.evmd' on 'racnode1' failed

The solution is to stop GI as root (crsctl stop crs -f), clean up socket files and restart GI.
