239998.1 

10g RAC: How to Clean Up After a Failed CRS Install 

Two items missing in this Oracle note are: 

  • Remove the /etc/oracle/ocr.loc file. This file contains the location for the Cluster registry. If this file is not removed then during the next installation the installer will not query for the OCR location and will pick it from this file.
  • If there was a previous 9i Oracle installation, then remove the following file: /var/opt/oracle/srvConfig.loc. If this file is present the installer will pick up the Vote disk location from this file and may create the error "the Vote disk should be placed on a shared file system" even before specifying the Vote disk location.
