Post got rejected for over quoting...Surachart - Im in the process of registering the asm on all nodes now.. thanks for that
Ok - I thought it would be the best approach to carefully reinstall the clusterware software.There was a point in the install where it asks for your private and public interfaces ie eth0 and eth1, on one of the servers the private was on eth1 the other 2 were on eth0 - so I reset the ip addresses on the nics to be the same eth0 all public and eth1 all privateRan through the install, then ran the vipca and payed close attention the the configuration. Lastly ran netca and had it create the llisteners of all nodes.... everything looked perfect - see below, did a reboot and the clusterware and services all came up.WHat made me look into the vip address was - I tried to create the listener using netca with the previus configration and it would fail on one of the nodes - but create the listener.ora file. If I tried to start the listener on the problem node, I would get something like target host "optiplex1-vip" does not exist, when in fact it was in the host file and could be pinged from any node.So,making the corrections above got me to the status below :)Im making backup image copies of the drives right now - there is a heck of allot of configuration there...Surachart, thanks for the help.

If check from your "crs_state -t'I didn' t see your listener/asm register in CRS... So, CRS can not start your listener automatic..I think you should point to recreate listener (and register listener to CRS), before you start this point check about nodeapps on optiplex1* After investigated, You should start at CRS on optiplex1* about optiplex1: I think CRS not start ora....ex1.gsd application ONLINE OFFLINE ora....ex1.ons application ONLINE OFFLINE - can you reboot it, if yes, you should reboot. - check process and log fileshttp://surachartopun.com/2009/04/why-my-oracle-cluster-could-not-start.html- Check /tmp/crsctl.* files - check messages logfile system Aftter solved and "crsstat -t" show gsd+ons start on allnodes- move listener.ora file and use netca to create listener (netca help you register in CRS)$ export ORACLE_HOHE=/u01/app/oracle/product/10.2.0/db_1 $ ssh-agent $SHELL $ ssh-add check you can remote all nodes $ netcathis helps you create listener and register in CRS (hope you move listener.ora file before)After that register ASM + Database in CRS by "srvctl" OK... before do anything - solve CRS on optiplex1.
