On a new two-node Solaris 10 / 10.2.0.4 cluster, after clusterware has been installed successfully and the cluster is formed, and after the initial install of binaries; the netca and dbca tools are hanging - refusing to display when we start building ASM/databases. There are no error messages, just sitting there with no GUI display occurring. The odd thing is that xclock/xlogo displays w/o issues, OUI runs without issues, and the binaries installs are quick and smooth. Then attempting to uninstall the binaries thinking to reinstall, the deinstaller sits there at 0% on the progress indicator for 15 minutes with nothing happening until we kill the process. This is our 5th 10g RAC build this year, all Solaris/10.2.0.4 and there were no similar issues with any of those builds. Thanks, Jeff -- //www.freelists.org/webpage/oracle-l
