The information in this article applies to:
Oracle Server - Enterprise Edition - Version: 10.1
This problem can occur on any platform.
Errors
ORA-29701 unable to connect to Cluster Manager
Symptoms
ORA-29701: unable to connect to Cluster Manager
at reboot time when the instance use Automatic Storage Management (ASM)
Changes
Creation of an instance on ASM
Cause
There are two causes of the problem:
- wrong action/sequence
init.cssd start
dbora start
init.cssd run
- Oracle CSS daemon doesn't start in time, then the Automatic Storage
Management (+ASM) instance can't start and therefore all instances are unable to start.
Fix
The workaround is
1 - put the entry in 'inittab' file about the init.cssd script before
running the runlevel 3
example of inittab:
(...)
s2:23:wait:/sbin/rc2 >/dev/msglog 2<>/dev/msglog
s3:3:wait:/sbin/rc3 >/dev/msglog 2<>/dev/msglog
s5:5:wait:/sbin/rc5 >/dev/msglog 2<>/dev/msglog
(...)
h1:3:respawn:/etc/init.d/init.cssd run >/dev/null 2>&1
you need to change it in this way:
(...)
s2:23:wait:/sbin/rc2 >/dev/msglog 2<>/dev/msglog
h1:3:respawn:/etc/init.d/init.cssd run >/dev/null 2>&1
s3:3:wait:/sbin/rc3 >/dev/msglog 2<>/dev/msglog
s5:5:wait:/sbin/rc5 >/dev/msglog 2<>/dev/msglog
(...)
2 - amend the dbora script file to include a 'sleep 120' giving time to the daemon to start before the other instances try and start.
