Oracle Database & Grid: 11.2.0.1
OS: RHEL5.5
We had some issues with a database server and the 9 databases stopped
working. The sys admins suggested a reboot, which we did. GRID/ASM would
not come back online after the reboot. It says it can't find the ASM
disks, but everything the sys admins look at say they are there and
online.
We tried restoring the $GRID_HOME, but that didn't change anything. Our
Rimini support said a lot of libraries were missing from the $GRID_HOME, so
another DBA tried to getting the missing files. Still no luck. It's a
two-node RAC, but only one of the nodes was functional at the time we
rebooted the first node. The second has the same issues as the first, so
we can't bring anything online there either.
We tried setting up on another comparable cluster, but due to the way the
database configurations were done in CommVault for the "bad" server,
CommVault thinks they are single instance and won't let us restore to a RAC.
Ultimately, we want to move these databases to a non-ASM server in AWS.
Any suggestions as to what we can do? I was wondering if we could
reinstall GRID/ASM on the "bad" server and then use Commvault to do our
restores. Is that totally off base or a viable option?
