MGTCA-1176/MGTCA-1162 : An error occurred while marking the Cluster Manifest File as expired.

June 28, 2018 2 Comments

If you are installing “Oracle Member Cluster for Oracle Database” and during the installation GIRM configuration assistant fails with the following error:

MGTCA-1176 : An error occurred while marking the Cluster Manifest File as expired.
MGTCA-1162 : failed to add a property to the provided Cluster Manifest File

Just give the following permission to the manifest file , to let the installer make changes there:

chmod 777 manifest.xml

There is no useful info about that on the internet and metalink! I guessed it myself.  That’s why posting that simple solution here.

root.sh fails CLSRSC-331: Failure initializing entries in file ‘/etc/oracle/scls_scr/racdb1’

After failed installation of 12gR2 Oracle Cluster Memeber, during the second attempt, I received the following error while running the root.sh script:

DNS/NIS name service prereq failed

May 30, 2018 Leave a comment

I was configuring an Oracle Member cluster for Databases. This type of cluster was introduced in 12.2. It has a lot of benefits. To see more information and installation steps for this type of cluster visit Oracle doc site.

Visually it looks like the following:

Domain_Cluster_arch

So during the installtion prerequisite check was complaining about “DNS/NIS name service”

DNS_NIS_Error

If you press details of the error you get a huge message. I won’t paste it’s content here, because it is something like bla bla… bla. Coud not find any meaningfull information there and lost too much time.

I seached on the Internet , still not found any good info.  Then started trying everything that came to my mind and one of them solved it.

So my entries about scan looked like the following:

Scan

Added domain name at the end:

Scan_correct

And my check looks like the following:

Prereq_OK

Please note that there may be several cases when this type of failure appeares. I showed you one of them.

Good Luck!
