> 2. Are there any core dumps? They seem to end up in quite a few different locations, so try checking as root for core dumps using something like: > cd $ORA_CRS_HOME ; find . -name "*core*" > cd $ORACLE_HOME ; find . -name "*core*" not to hijack the thread, but isn't anyone else alarmed at how often this clusterware faults memory and plops core dumps all over the place? This stuff, CRS, has been in the hands of Oracle (officially) since Feb 2001 when they licensed it from Compaq...this sort of stuff should not be tolerated. -- //www.freelists.org/webpage/oracle-l
