Hi all,
I encountered a bug that caused the creation of a RAC database on an ODA using oakcli to fail (several times). The bug was later resolved through an SR fix, but the failed installs created files (folders) that I'm hesitant to cleanup, specifically those in an ASM directory (bug 18419139).
The failed installs created empty folders where the fast_recovery_area, logs and control files would be; those I removed through the shell, i.e. rm -r folder_name.
The failed installs also created empty folders in an ASM filesystem for the datafiles. ITNM3 was the successful install, while the other ITNM's are empty.

MOS linked me to Doc ID 1910536.1, but the note doesn't apply to me because nothing was ever created (?). Nothing relating to the failed installs seems to be recorded with oakcli/srvctl. Can these folders be removed through shell commands, or do I need to use something like asmcmd to avoid some ASM related issue?
Thanks,
James
