ohasd failed to start: Inappropriate ioctl for device - standalone grid installation root.sh failed

Abhijit GourJul 8 2015 — edited Jul 10 2015

Hi All,

While installing Oracle 11gR2(11.2.0.4) grid software on OL6.3 (standalone) root.sh was failed with error mentioned below.

===========Error============


Database Configuration Assistant when a database is created
Finished running generic part of root.sh script.
Now product-specific root actions will be performed.

[root@kchjovm42 grid]#

===============================

Since error was exactly matching with Doc ID 1607600.1, I tried to follow steps mentioned therein however it couldn't go well, output pasted below,

[root@kchjovm42 bin]# initctl reload-configuration

[root@kchjovm42 bin]#  initctl start oracle-ohasd

initctl: Unknown job: oracle-ohasd

[root@kchjovm42 bin]# initctl list |grep oracle

[root@kchjovm42 bin]#

Upon checking I found that, initctl doesn't have oracle-ohasd service listed there.

Manual start of service was also failed,

[root@kchjovm42 init]# initctl start oracle-ohasd

initctl: Unknown job: oracle-ohasd

[root@kchjovm42 init]#

There are lot of notes & documents available on community & MOS but not getting correct one for my case. Appreciate if you can help to resolve this issue.

Thanks,

Abhijit
