SCOPE & APPLICATION ------------------DBA's and Support Analysts 10g RAC: How to Clean Up After a Failed CRS Install --------------------------------------------------Not cleaning up a failed CRS install can cause problems like node reboots. Follow these steps to clean up a failed CRS install: 1. Run the rootdelete.sh script then the rootdeinstall.sh script from the $ORA_CRS_HOME/install directory. Running these scripts should be sufficent to clean up your CRS install. If you have any problems with these scripts please open a service request. If for some reason you have to manually remove the install due to problems with the scripts, continue to step 2: 2. Stop the Nodeapps on all nodes: srvctl stop nodeapps -n 3. Prevent CRS from starting when the node boots. To do this issue the following as root: m /etc/oracle/* rm -f /etc/init.d/init.cssd rm -f /etc/init.d/init.crs rm -f /etc/init.d/init.crsd rm -f /etc/init.d/init.evmd rm -f /etc/rc2.d/K96init.crs rm -f /etc/rc2.d/S96init.crs rm -f /etc/rc3.d/K96init.crs rm -f /etc/rc3.d/S96init.crs rm -f /etc/rc5.d/K96init.crs rm -f /etc/rc5.d/S96init.crs rm -Rf /etc/oracle/scls_scr rm -f /etc/inittab.crs cp /etc/inittab.orig /etc/inittab 4. If they are not already down, kill off EVM, CRS, and CSS processes or reboot the node: ps -ef | grep crs

kill ps -ef | grep evm kill ps -ef | grep css kill Do not kill any OS processes, for example icssvr_daemon process ! 5. If there is no other Oracle software running (like listeners, DB's, etc...), you can remove the files in /var/tmp/.oracle or /tmp/.oracle. Example: rm -f /var/tmp/.oracle or rm -f /tmp/.oracle 6. Remove the ocr.loc Usually the ocr.loc can be found at /etc/oracle 7. De-install the CRS home in the Oracle Universal Installer 8. Remove the CRS install location: rm -Rf /* 9. Clean out the OCR and Voting Files with dd commands. Example: dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/rdsk/V1064_vote_01_20m.dbf bs=8192 count=2560 dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/rdsk/ocrV1064_100m.ora bs=8192 count=12800 If you placed the OCR and voting disk on a shared filesystem, remove them. If you are removing the RDBMS installation, also clean out any ASM disks if they have already been used. 10.If you would like to re-install CRS, follow the steps in the RAC Installation manual.
