Hi, There are two things to pay attention to if using 10gR2 in GI 11: 1. A solution for Bug 8288940, when DBCA fails to create a database if ASM is used, is in patch 8288940 included with 10.2.0.5 (MOS Note 948456.1). 2. In order to create a 10g database the servers in the cluster need to be pinned. Ex. After fresh 11.2 install pin for 10Gr2 install and db create [grid@raclinux1 stage10g]$ olsnodes -t raclinux1 Unpinned raclinux2 Unpinned [grid@raclinux1 stage10g]$ [root@raclinux1 bin]# ./crsctl pin css -n raclinux1 CRS-4664: Node raclinux1 successfully pinned. [root@raclinux1 bin]# [root@raclinux2 bin]# ./crsctl pin css -n raclinux2 CRS-4664: Node raclinux2 successfully pinned. [root@raclinux2 bin]# [grid@raclinux1 stage10g]$ olsnodes -t raclinux1 Pinned raclinux2 Pinned [grid@raclinux1 stage10g]$ Regards, Guenadi Jilevski On Wed, Aug 24, 2011 at 4:09 AM, Rajeev Prabhakar <rprabha01@xxxxxxxxx>wrote: > Hello Chris, > > I had encountered a similar issue > more than a year back.
