Install Oracle 11gR2 RAC : Cannot remove directory bootstrap under /tmp

user8860348Feb 18 2012 — edited Feb 19 2012
Folks,

Hello. I am installing Oracle 11gR2 RAC using 2 Virtual Machines (rac1 and rac2 whose OS are Oracle Linux 5.6) in VMPlayer and according to the tutorial

http://appsdbaworkshop.blogspot.com/2011/10/11gr2-rac-on-linux-56-using-vmware.html

I am installing Grid infrastructure. I am on step 7 of 10 (verify Grid installation enviroment) and get this error:

"Free Space: Rac2: /tmp
Cause: Could not determine mount point for location specified.
Action: Ensure location specified is available.
Expected value: n/a
Actual value: n/a "


In order to fix the above error, I run "cluster verification utility" according to
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E14072_01/rac.112/e10717/cvu.htm I run the following command:

[ora11g@rac1 \]$ /home_grid/runcluvfy.sh stage -pre crsinst -n rac1,rac2 -verbose

Output:
/bin/rm: cannot remove directory '/tmp/bootstrap': Operation not permitted
./runcluvfy.sh:line 99:/tmp/bootstrap/ouibootstrap.log: permission denied


From the above output, we can see the directory bootstrap under /tmp causes the problem. The solution is to remove the directory bootstrap. I run the 2 commands:

[ora11g@rac1 tmp]$ rmdir bootstrap

Output: Operation not permitted

[ora11g@rac1 tmp]$ rm -rf bootstrap

Output: cannot remove bootstrap: Operation not permitted.

[ora11g@rac2 tmp]$ ls

Output: there is no 'bootstrap' directory.

My questions are:

First, does "cannot remove boostrap in rac1" cause that /tmp in rac2 could not be determine mount point ?

Second, can any folk help to remove the directory bootstrap under /tmp ?


Thanks.
