SGeRAC A.11.17 + SLVM + ASM: unable to start the racp-asm package.

Hi,

I'm getting the following output in the racp-asm.scr.log file when I try to run racp-asm package:

########### Node "infrapr1": Starting package at Thu Mar 30 16:51:16 WAT 2006 ###########

The thing that's strange is that why the script is not able to get oracle_sid and exists.
Just for info, the cluster has two packages: crsp-slvm and racp-asm. the crs package works fine without any issues.

Thanks,

Kind Regards,

Are you sure that SGeRAC is compatible with ASM? We did a RAC implementation last year, although it was with 10gR1, and were hoping to use SGeRAC 11.16, but were told by Oracle if we wanted to use ASM, we had to use Oracle's ClusterWare/CRS instead of MC/SG and SGeRAC. We ended up doing that, with a minimum of trouble.

Hi,

Thanks for the reply. However, since December 2005, a new toolkit was released to integrate A.11.17 SGeRAC, ASM, and Oracle RAC 10g R2. Now my issue is with the intergation scripts. In fact, as I mentionned the rac_dbin.sh script for the racp-asm package is not able to identify the database instance. For your info, I disabled the automatic of the database instance once the crs package is up.

Thanks,

Regards,

Mehdi
