    Unable to start crs in a 10g RAC

    Hi all,

    I have a 2 node 10g RAC running on AIX 5.3 with ASM. Recently i noticed the size (originally 33GB) of my /u01 directory growing very fast & reaching 100%. My backups started failing & after some researching found a trace file over 20G in size. I deleted this file & bounced the database. However, when i did a quick check of my database, i found out that the crs was down. For the past two days i've been unable to start the crs. A query of all my RAC resources using both srvctl & crs_stat (shown below) shows that both listener, ASM & database are down on this server. However sqlplus tells me the contrary (shown below).

    (oracle@pgoratt1) /home/oracle > srvctl status db -d pegatt
    Instance pegatt1 is not running on node pgoratt1
    Instance pegatt2 is running on node pgoratt2
    (oracle@pgoratt1) /home/oracle >

    (oracle@pgoratt1) /u01/crs/oracle/product/10.2.0/bin > crsstat
    HA Resource Target State

    Starting resources.
    Error while starting resources. Possible cause: CRSD is down.

    SQL> select instance_name,status from gv$instance;

    INSTANCE_NAME STATUS
    ---------------- ------------
    pegatt1 OPEN
    pegatt2 OPEN


    SQL> select instance_name,status from gv$instance;

    INSTANCE_NAME STATUS
    ---------------- ------------
    +ASM1 STARTED
    +ASM2 STARTED


    I'm really confused here because the /u01 directory started increasing in size again, for a reason i can't seem to find since there are no large trace files this time around (increased from 47% to 74% in four days)

    I'll be very grateful for any positive input to help me resolve this issue.

    Thanks,
    Regards,

    No. I don't think so

    Hi PAVB,

    I tried starting CRSD using the following commansds, but it wouldn't start:

    pgoratt1:/ >/etc/init.crs start
    Startup will be queued to init within 30 seconds.
    pgoratt1:/ >

    pgoratt1:/ > /u01/crs/oracle/product/10.2.0/bin/crsctl start crs
    Attempting to start CRS stack
    The CRS stack will be started shortly
    pgoratt1:/ >

    Talking

    You may need to login as root to start crs.

    PS: Also ORACLE_HOME, PATH and LD_LIBRARY_PATH must all point to the crs home!

    As you can see above, crs was started as root. ORACLE_HOME, PATH and LD_LIBRARY_PATH are all perfect...

    Unable to start crs in a 10g RAC

    Hi,

    There's nothing in /u01/crs/oracle/product/10.2.0/log/crs.
    There're several core files in /u01/crs/oracle/product/10.2.0/log/pgoratt1/crsd.
    Attached is the /u01/crs/oracle/product/10.2.0/log/pgoratt1/crsd/crsd.log file.

    Wink To open SR or not open SR...that is the question!



    Maybe it's time you open an SR w/Oracle.
