I have an Oracle RAC installed on a pair of Dell PE6850s w/2 processors and 8GB of RAM. Running RHEL 4.0 QU1 and Oracle 10.1.0.4. Using ASM on direct attached CX300 with qLogic HBAs. Thought everything was just fine - until I was testing the RAC by crashing the nodes. If I crash a node, I see the VIP migrate to the survivor. When I bring up the crashed box, CRSD starts and the VIP migrates back to it's 'home' box, but the other nodeapps, gsd and ons, don't start, and neither does the listener nor the instance. The crsd goes bye-bye (actually 'defunct'). Here's what I see in crs_stat -t: [oracle@rhlv005 ~]$ crs_stat -t Name Type Target State Host ------------------------------------------------------------ ora.prod1.db application ONLINE ONLINE rhlv005 ora....11.inst application ONLINE OFFLINE ora....12.inst application ONLINE ONLINE rhlv005 ora....SM1.asm application ONLINE ONLINE rhlv004 ora....04.lsnr application ONLINE OFFLINE ora....004.gsd application ONLINE OFFLINE ora....004.ons application ONLINE OFFLINE ora....004.vip application ONLINE ONLINE rhlv004 ora....SM2.asm application ONLINE ONLINE rhlv005 ora....05.lsnr application ONLINE ONLINE rhlv005 ora....005.gsd application ONLINE ONLINE rhlv005 ora....005.ons application ONLINE ONLINE rhlv005 ora....005.vip application ONLINE ONLINE rhlv005 The crs log is spectacularly informative: 2005-10-05 18:18:34.127: CRS Daemon Started. 2005-10-05 18:18:34.862: Attempting to stop `ora.rhlv004.vip` on member `rhlv005` 2005-10-05 18:18:35.499: Stop of `ora.rhlv004.vip` on member `rhlv005` succeeded. 2005-10-05 18:18:35.720: Attempting to start `ora.rhlv004.vip` on member `rhlv004` 2005-10-05 18:18:41.822: Start of `ora.rhlv004.vip` on member `rhlv004` succeeded. 2005-10-05 18:18:41.922: CRS-1007: Failed after successful dependency consideration 2005-10-05 18:18:33.090: CRSD-1: [CMDMAIN:1336832] Restart waiting for Oracle CRSD to start 2005-10-05 18:18:42.174: CRSD-1: Complete Restart Application Request Any ideas? -- //www.freelists.org/webpage/oracle-l
