Importing Oracle Cluster Registry Content on Windows Systems

Note:

This procedure assumes default installation of Oracle Clusterware on all nodes in the cluster, where Oracle Clusterware autostart is enabled.

Use the following procedure to import OCR on Windows systems:

List the nodes in your cluster by running the following command on one node:
```
C:\>olsnodes
```
Stop Oracle Clusterware by running the following command as a member of the Administrators group on all of the nodes:
```
C:\>crsctl stop crs
```
If the preceding command returns any error due to OCR corruption, stop Oracle Clusterware by running the following command as a member of the Administrators group on all of the nodes:
```
C:\>crsctl stop crs -f
```
Start the Oracle Clusterware stack on one node in exclusive mode by running the following command as a member of the Administrators group:
```
C:\>crsctl start crs -excl
```
Ignore any errors that display.

Check whether CRSD is running. If it is, stop it by running the following command as a member of the Administrators group:
```
C:\>crsctl stop resource ora.crsd -init
```
Caution:

Do not use the -init flag in any other command.
Import OCR by running the following command as a member of the Administrators group:
```
C:\>ocrconfig -import file_name
```
Make sure that the OCR devices that you specify in the OCR configuration exist and that these OCR devices are valid.
Note:
- If the original OCR location does not exist, then you must create an empty (0 byte) OCR location before you run the ocrconfig -import command.
- Ensure that the OCR devices that you specify in the OCR configuration exist and that these OCR devices are valid.
- Ensure that the Oracle ASM disk group you specify exists and is mounted.

Verify the integrity of OCR:
```
C:\>ocrcheck
```
Stop Oracle Clusterware on the node where it is running in exclusive mode:
```
C:\>crsctl stop crs -f
```
Begin to start Oracle Clusterware by running the following command as a member of the Administrators group on all of the nodes:
```
C:\>crsctl start crs
```
Run the following Cluster Verification Utility (CVU) command to verify OCR integrity of all of the nodes in your cluster database:
```
C:\>cluvfy comp ocr -n all -verbose
```
