CRS-4124: Oracle High Availability Services startup failed.

2888120Apr 4 2016 — edited Jul 4 2017

Hello experts,

I have been trying to install Oracle Grid Infrastructure for a Standalone Server for study purpose.

OS: RHEL 7 64 bit -- a virtual machine using Oracle Virtual Box

redundancy: external

Installation goes well till the step where I'm supposed to run two scripts as root user.

/u01/app/oraInventory/orainstRoot.sh and /u01/app/oracle/product/11.2.0/grid/root.sh

The first script orainstRoot.sh runs successfully, but when I run the second script root.sh, it produces some errors. I print the output below.

Running Oracle 11g root.sh script...

The following environment variables are set as:

    ORACLE_OWNER= oracle

    ORACLE_HOME=  /u01/app/oracle/product/11.2.0/grid

Enter the full pathname of the local bin directory: [/usr/local/bin]:

   Copying dbhome to /usr/local/bin ...

   Copying oraenv to /usr/local/bin ...

   Copying coraenv to /usr/local/bin ...

Creating /etc/oratab file...

Entries will be added to the /etc/oratab file as needed by

Database Configuration Assistant when a database is created

Finished running generic part of root.sh script.

Now product-specific root actions will be performed.

I tried lots of google help and checked some articles from this forum, but I am not able to proceed with the installation. Please let me know what other information you need. Please help, thanks a lots.
