dbca - error before instance is built
500648Mar 23 2006 — edited Aug 14 2007Hello
I am new to this (as you might have guesed) and tried to install RAC 10g (10.2.01) several times but always receive the same errors (in german):
PRKR-1008
Instances [testdb11,testdb12] on node [ill_srac1,ill_srac2] on cluster databse "testdb1", PRKR-1008: Instance testdb12 on node ill_srac2 could not be added to cluster database testdb1. could not be added
after pressing OK
PRKR-1001: Cluster database tetdb1 is not present
then I am back in the last window (16 of 16) of dbca
How did I do it:
Installing according to
http://www.dbasupport.com/oracle/ora10g/RACingAhead0301.shtml (thaks by the way)
trying it with two win2k3 nodes
on VMWare ESX.
What was different
I dont have access to the vmx files so the disk caching is not deactivated (does that matter?)
While installing clusterware there is an error to copy the following files to c:\windows\system32\drivers:
ocfs.sys
orafencedrv.sys
orafenceservice.sys
got around that error by copying it manually from node1 to node2 and pressing retry
it says there should be a log in cfgtoollogs\dbca\testdb1, but nothing there.
Any Ideas, other logs?
Thanks
