CSS does not start using 11g RH4 SCSI drives
semitsFeb 5 2009 — edited Oct 11 2010Hi All...
Followed all necessary procedures for setting up oracle. The problem is when I try and get ASM working, I get to the part that says CSS is not running and then do a $ORACLE_HOME/bin/localconfig add as root with all environmental variables set up properly. Furthermore, oracleasm was previously installed, properly configured because I can run the scan, query and list and it comes back correctly.
[root@db raw]# /etc/init.d/oracleasm scandisks
Scanning the system for Oracle ASMLib disks: [ OK ]
[root@db raw]# /etc/init.d/oracleasm listdisks
VOL1
VOL2
VOL3
VOL4
At the end of this process CSS fails to start. There is nothing placed into the /var/tmp/.oracle directory. I then ran the $ORACLE_HOME/bin/localconfig reset $ORACLE_HOME and get the same result.
Successfully accumulated necessary OCR keys.
Creating OCR keys for user 'root', privgrp 'root'..
Operation successful.
Configuration for local CSS has been initialized
Cleaning up Network socket directories
Setting up Network socket directories
Adding to inittab
Startup will be queued to init within 30 seconds.
Checking the status of new Oracle init process...
Expecting the CRS daemons to be up within 600 seconds.
Giving up: Oracle CSS stack appears NOT to be running.
Oracle CSS service would not start as installed
Automatic Storage Management(ASM) cannot be used until Oracle CSS service is started
While it is running I see:

Tried
[root@db init.d]# ./init.cssd start
Startup will be queued to init within 30 seconds.
[root@db init.d]# ps -ef | grep css

Okay, so what is wrong here? Why won;t CSS start? Checked every piece of literature and search engine results and tried almost everything...
So, dear forum people... Help.
