Installation guide

This workaround causes the installer to consider the system to be running earlier

version of the operating system and the operating system check passes. The

changes to the release file should be reverted after the installation of all Oracle

software is complete. The changes to the release file could impact the ability of

other tools to be properly installed on the operating system.

5.4 Installing Oracle Cluster Ready Services

Near the end of the installation of Oracle Cluster Ready Services, Oracle

Universal Installer prompts for the $CRS_HOME/root.sh script to be run on all

of the nodes in the cluster. When the root.sh script is run on the last node in

the cluster, the script calls the VIPCA utility, which fails on Oracle Enterprise

Linux 5.0, Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.0, and SUSE Linux Enterprise Linux 10.

Refer to the "SRVCTL and VIPCA Utilities Set the LD_ASSUME_KERNEL

Parameter" section for more details.

Workaround: Before running the root.sh script on the last node in the cluster,

alter the $CRS_HOME/bin/vipca script commenting out lines 119 through 123:

arch=’uname -m’

# if [ "$arch" = "i686" -o "$arch" = "ia64" -o "$arch" = "x86_64" ]

# then

# LD_ASSUME_KERNEL=2.4.19

# export LD_ASSUME_KERNEL

# fi

With the lines commented out, root.sh should be able to call VIPCA

successfully. Ensure that you do not comment out line 118, which sets the arch

variable as that is needed by the root.sh script.

5.5 Installing Enterprise Security Manager

To install Oracle Security Manager, install Oracle Client and then select the

Administrator installation type.

5.6 Upgrading Oracle Clusterware 10.1.x to Oracle Clusterware 10.2

When upgrading from 10.1.x to 10.2, Oracle Clusterware will not start if the host

name directory under the /etc/oracle/scls_scr directory includes the

domain name. The following error message is displayed when you run the

rootupgrade.sh script.

A file or directory in the path name does not exist.

/etc/init.cssd[509]: /etc/oracle/scls_scr/host_name/root/cssrun: 0403-005

Cannot create the specified file.

Workaround: Move the /etc/oracle/scls_scr/hostname.domain_name

directory to /etc/oracle/scls_scr/hostname and rerun the

rootupgrade.sh script.

This issue is tracked with Oracle bug 4472284.
