SFRAC 5.1 SP1 on RedHat Linux - ASMInst Problem

f1shboy
Level 2

Hi All

I'm using the above.  It seems everything was working fine but we're due to go live in 3 weeks so i reread all the documentation to make sure i have everything correctly configured.  Second time around in reading the oracle agent documentation I noticed it describes how to setup ASMInst - it says for SFRAC clusters you need to manually set the StartUpOpt to SRVCTLSTART and the ShutdownOpt to SRVCTLSTOP.  So I did that and the agent will not startup - it just faults with absolutley no error message, nothing.  The shutdown works fine tho and i can catch a big perl string with srvctl stop ... in a ps listing whilst it happens - can;t say the same for the online tho.  I even tried putting my name in StartUpOpt and it still started! but SRVCTLSTART...? Doesn;t like it at all.

 

Anyone know what could be wrong?

Cheers.

Here's output from StartUpOpt field empty:

Hi,

Can you post the main.cf file and give a little more information on the Oracle version?  I am assuming it is 11g.

Also - you can try out the configuration in the VCS Simulator http://www.symantec.com/business/products/utilities.jsp?pcid=pcat_business_cont&pvid=20_1.  Running a firedrill failover may also give you more information about the error.

Please open a ticket with support too.  They can help resolve this.

Hi f1shboy,

I'm checking the latest VCS Agent Pack for Linux, 2Q2011, to see if there's a HotFix patch for ASMInst.  I ran into a similar problem on Solaris/SPARC, and found a HotFix for some of the Oracle Agents for release 5.1.  The HF resolved my problem with ASMInst.

I'll let you know what I find out.  It takes a while to download and unpack.

I didn't see any mention of Rollup Patch 1 (RP1) being installed on top of SFHA 5.1 SP1.  I looked in the RPMs included in RP1, and there's an RPM called VRTSvcsea-5.1.101.000-SP1RP1_RHEL5.i686.rpm, which is for Enterprise Agents, and it includes some changes to the files used by the ASMInst Agent.
