5、 Role Permissions Issue with Oracle ASM Configuration Assistant, SQL*Plus, X Terminal

Ensure that the oracle_devmgmt role is set before running administrative tools, such as, Oracle ASM Configuration Assistant and SQL*Plus, for management of Oracle Automatic Storage Management Cluster File System and Oracle Automatic Storage Management Dynamic Volume Manager. Also, when entering a new X terminal (or using the associated commands, such as uxterm and aixterm), the oracle_devmgmt role necessary for the administration of Oracle Automatic Storage Management Cluster File System and Oracle Automatic Storage Management Dynamic Volume Manager is not properly set.

Workaround:

Run the following command before running adminstrative tools or after opening a new terminal:

$ swrole oracle_devmgmt

Check that the swrole is set to oracle_devmgmtby running the following command:

$ rolelist -e

6、 Cluster Verification Utility Issue in Checking Network Parameters

During an Oracle RAC database installation, the Cluster Verification Utility may not check the network parameters (tcp_sendspace, tcp_recvspace, udp_sendspace, udp_recvspace, sb_max, rfc1323) correctly. This may happen as part of the prerequisite check or if you run the following command:

cluvfy stage -pre crsinst

Workaround:

Establish a symlink /etc/no to /usr/sbin/no.

This issue is tracked with Oracle bug 13077654.

7、 Oracle Notification Service Issue After Shared Oracle RAC Database Upgrade

After you complete an upgrade from shared Oracle Clusterware Release 11.1 to shared Oracle Grid Infrastructure Release 11.2, you may encounter an error with Oracle Notification Service. The first node shows the Oracle Notification Service file, ora.ons, is offline.

Workaround:

Perform. the following steps:

Log in as the Oracle Grid Infrastructure installation owner.

Run the following commands to find the Oracle Notification Service processes on the nodes and stop them:

$ ps -ef | grep "ons -d"

$ kill -9 pid1 pid2

Change directory to bin in the Oracle Grid Infrastructure home, and enter the command crsctl start res ora.ons. For example, if the grid home is /u01/grid, then enter the following commands:

$ chdir /u01/grid/bin

$ ./crsctl start res ora.ons

This issue is tracked with Oracle bug 9133235.

8、 Automatic SSH Configuration Issue

Automatic SSH configuration is not available at the time of this release due to an issue with the installer.

Workaround:

Perform. manual SSH configuration as described in section "D.1 Configuring SSH Manually on All Cluster Nodes" in Oracle Grid Infrastructure Installation Guide for IBM AIX on POWER Systems.

This issue is tracked with Oracle bug 9979216.

9、 Cluster Verification Utility Check Fails on AIX 6.1 and Later

The prerequisite checker checks only for the AIX fix, IZ97457, regardless of the operating system TL version. The following are the correct Authorized Problem Analysis Reports (APARs) for the corresponding TL versions:

6100-03 - use AIX APAR IZ89304

6100-04 - use AIX APAR IZ89302

6100-05 - use AIX APAR IZ89300

6100-06 - use AIX APAR IZ89514

7100-00 - use AIX APAR IZ89165

5300-11 - use AIX APAR IZ98424

5300-12 - use AIX APAR IZ98126

6100-04 - use AIX APAR IZ97605

6100-05 - use AIX APAR IZ97457

6100-06 - use AIX APAR IZ96155

7100-00 - use AIX APAR IZ97035

注意了，在安装或升级之前，如果达不到上面的要求，一定要先升级操作系统，否则后面会遇到一些不能解决的问题。

Workaround:

Before starting the Oracle Universal Installer, set the environment variable, IGNORE_PREADDNODE_CHECKS, to Y:

export IGNORE_PREADDNODE_CHECKS=Y
