INS-45511: Installer has detected that an Oracle Grid Infrastructure home is marked incorrectly as configured

July 4, 2020 Leave a comment

Problem:

After deconfiguring Oracle Restart stack using:

[root@rac1 ~]# /u01/app/19.3.0/grid/root.sh -deconfig
Performing root user operation.

The following environment variables are set as:
    ORACLE_OWNER= grid
    ORACLE_HOME=  /u01/app/19.3.0/grid

Enter the full pathname of the local bin directory: [/usr/local/bin]:
The contents of "dbhome" have not changed. No need to overwrite.
The contents of "oraenv" have not changed. No need to overwrite.
The contents of "coraenv" have not changed. No need to overwrite.

Entries will be added to the /etc/oratab file as needed by
Database Configuration Assistant when a database is created
Finished running generic part of root script.
Now product-specific root actions will be performed.
Using configuration parameter file: /u01/app/19.3.0/grid/crs/install/crsconfig_params
The log of current session can be found at:
  /u01/app/grid/crsdata/rac1/crsconfig/hadeconfig.log
2020/07/04 10:49:21 CLSRSC-332: CRS resources for listeners are still configured
2020/07/04 10:49:49 CLSRSC-337: Successfully deconfigured Oracle Restart stack

Tried to configure GI as clusterware stack and got the following error:

INS-45511: Installer has detected that an Oracle Grid Infrastructure home is marked incorrectly  as configured

Solution:

Remove CRS="true" accross GI home entry in /u01/app/oraInventory/ContentsXML/inventory.xml

Original:

<HOME NAME="OraGI19Home1" LOC="/u01/app/19.3.0/grid" TYPE="O" IDX="1" CRS="true"/>

After modification:

<HOME NAME="OraGI19Home1" LOC="/u01/app/19.3.0/grid" TYPE="O" IDX="1"/>

Retry configuration.
