Table A-2 Oracle Notes
259301.1 CRS and 10g Real Application Clusters
280589.1 How to install Oracle 10g CRS on a cluster where one or more nodes
are not to be configured to run CRS.
265769.1 10g RAC: Troubleshooting CRS Reboots
279793.1 How to Restore a Lost Vote Disk in 10g
239998.1 10g RAC: How to Clean Up After a Failed CRS Install
Two items missing in this Oracle note are:
Remove the /etc/oracle/ocr.loc file. This file contains the location
for the Cluster registry. If this file is not removed then during the next
installation the installer will not query for the OCR location and will
pick it from this file.
If there was a previous 9i Oracle installation, then remove the
following file: /var/opt/oracle/srvConfig.loc. If this file is present
the installer will pick up the Vote disk location from this file and may
create the error “the Vote disk should be placed on a shared file
system” even before specifying the Vote disk location.
