Oracle Clusterware Software is Installed, but Cannot be Found

Description:

Oracle Orachk discovers the location of the Oracle Clusterware home from the oraInst.loc and oraInventory files.

Cause:

Oracle Clusterware discovery fails due to:

  • Problems discovering the oraInst.loc and oraInventory files
  • Problems with the oraInst.loc and oraInventory files
  • One or more paths in the oraInst.loc and oraInventory files are incorrect

Action:

  1. Ensure that the oraInst.loc file is located correctly and is properly formed.

    If the file is not in the default location, then set the RAT_INV_LOC environment variable to point to the oraInventory directory:

    $ export RAT_INV_LOC=oraInventory directory
  2. If necessary, set the RAT_CRS_HOME environment variable to point to the location of the Oracle Clusterware home:

    $ export RAT_CRS_HOME=CRS_HOME
