Alex,

Thanks for the "hints"; I look at these as diagnostic hints, not subject to
the same limitation of guessing as say, problem resolution. *grin*

To that end, I am finding that I am easily overwhelmed by all the
diagnostics. What am I looking for? It seems to me that my Oracle Support
Analyst should setup an OWC and step through these diagnostics with me,
pointing out what I need to look for so we can both find the problem
together, and from there discover (not guess) a resolution.

When I use srvctl remove asm, what modules of CRS touched? Or rather, what
modules do I need to turn tracing on to get the whole picture? I can see how
the CRSOCR module would be relevant, but what about the CRSRES? Any more?

I have used SRVM_TRACE, but again, not knowing what I am looking for, I did
not discover much. Looks like crs_unregister returns an error, but I am not
sure why. Yet.

I will keep hitchhiking along this road. Thanks for all the feedback, from
all of you.

Charles,

When you look for the logs - you should look for the logs in Oracle
Home (where srvctl is running from) and in CRS home (since OCR updates
are done by crsd). Just in case it was missed.

Btw, you want to make sure that you run srvctl from Oracle Home and
not CRS Home and, perhaps, even from ASM Oracle Home if you installed
it separately. I guess all this can be marked as done already anyway.

I think I might have few more guesses that would qualify for hints ;-)
unless there would be no way to debug it so I try to give some hints
how to debug it.

There is tracing facility that is interfaced by crsctl. I would try to
look at tracing CRSOCR and CRSRES modules:
$ORA_CRS_HOME/bin/crsctl log crs CRSOCR:255,CRSRES:255
I'm not sure about trace levels you need. Default should be 0 if I
recall correctly.
If you don't find anything useful - try other modules (use crsctl
lsmodules crs).

Even before doing that you might want to enable tracing/debug in
srvctl that you call from oracle home - it's a shell script and there
are couple variables that you might want to research - ORA_CRSDEBUG
and SRVM_TRACE

If you find anything interesting - let us know.

Cheers,
Alex
