Failed to start GSD on local node

Hi all,

I just finished an oracle 9i RAC install (2 nodes) on AIX 5.3 using HACMP as clusterware. however, when i try to create a cluster database, DBCA prompts me to start the GSD as follows: /u01/app/oracle/product/9.2.0/bin/gsdctl start. When i issue this command as the oracle user, i get the following message.

(oracle@cteora1) /u01/app/oracle/product/9.2.0/bin > gsdctl start
Failed to start GSD on local node
(oracle@cteora1) /u01/app/oracle/product/9.2.0/bin >

As root,

cteora1:/var/opt >/u01/app/oracle/product/9.2.0/bin/gsdctl start
PRKC-1021 : Problem in the clusterware
Failed to get list of active nodes from clusterware
cteora1:/var/opt >

Now, when i run the gsd.sh script for tracing, i get the following:

(oracle@cteora1) /u01/app/oracle/product/9.2.0/bin > gsd.sh

I've researched on Metalink & all the proposed solutions aren't helping. Can someone be of help?

Hi

You need to raise a ticket with metalink for this as i beleive oracle over wrote some of HACMP libraries during the relinking phase and thats why it couldnt load some library and register itself with HACMP.

It could also be a permission problem

Code:

---

Could not register in group opsm with the clusterware

---

Just referring my old notes and this is what i have scratched down

Ensure that the oracle user is added to the HAGSUSER UNIX group.

hope it helps

hrishy,

I just read this document from IBM on installing 9i RAC on AIX with HACMP:

http://t4biweb01.t4bi.com/pls/htmldb...50311706566234

It's talking about the hyagsuser group, which i believe is the issue b/c i don't even have this group in my system. I've collected all the necessary details about adding this group, & making the oracle user a member of it, still awaiting my sys admin for implementation.
Will keep u posted on any latest dvlp'ts.

Well, the hagsuser group was successfully created using the steps outline in the doc i sent earlier & i was able to start the gsd on both cluster nodes.

Thanks for ur input
