Failed to start GSD on local node

i started the instance manually.is it going to be a problem if started manually?what could be the problem and how to fix it?please suggest.

[Matti_Kurkela]

Start by reading the GSD log file:

$ORACLE_HOME/srvm/log/gsdaemon_.log

Perhaps there is a message explaining why GSD could not be started.

This question is more about Oracle RAC than Serviceguard, so the database section might be a better place for it. I'll ask the moderators to move this thread to the database section.

i don't see any logs getting generated.on this node i see no oracle directory under /var/opt which will have srvConfig.loc and oraInst.loc.is this what causing GSD to not come up?
