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.

Find Oracle patch description

November 4, 2019 Leave a comment

Some patches contain several sub-patches inside. For example, when we download GI RU and unzip it, the unzipped folder contains several patch folders. To find out information about these patches you can do any of the following:

1. OPen README.html and find the section “Patch Numbers Getting Installed as Part of this Bundle Patch“

2. Each patch sub-folder contains etc/config/inventory.xml, that contains description about patch:

[oracle@primrac1 29708769]$ pwd
 /home/oracle/Downloads/29708769

[oracle@primrac1 29708769]$ cat ./29834717/etc/config/inventory.xml|grep patch_description
     Database Release Update : 19.4.0.0.190716 (29834717)

[oracle@primrac1 29708769]$ cat ./29850993/etc/config/inventory.xml |grep patch_description
     OCW RELEASE UPDATE 19.4.0.0.0 (29850993)

Or we can see inventory.xml in all folders:

[oracle@primrac1 29708769]$ cat ./*/etc/config/inventory.xml |grep patch_description
     TOMCAT RELEASE UPDATE 19.0.0.0.0 (29401763)
     Database Release Update : 19.4.0.0.190716 (29834717)
     OCW RELEASE UPDATE 19.4.0.0.0 (29850993)
     ACFS RELEASE UPDATE 19.4.0.0.0 (29851014)

3. Another option is to use opatch lspatches or opatch query -all and query/list patch information:

[oracle@primrac1 29708769]$ pwd
 /home/oracle/Downloads/29708769

[oracle@primrac1 29708769]$ $ORACLE_HOME/OPatch/opatch lspatches ./29850993|grep patch_description
 patch_description:OCW RELEASE UPDATE 19.4.0.0.0 (29850993)

[oracle@primrac1 29708769]$ $ORACLE_HOME/OPatch/opatch lspatches ./29834717|grep patch_description
 patch_description:Database Release Update : 19.4.0.0.190716 (29834717)

[oracle@primrac1 29708769]$ $ORACLE_HOME/OPatch/opatch query -all 29850993|grep description
  Patch description: "OCW RELEASE UPDATE 19.4.0.0.0 (29850993)"

[oracle@primrac1 29708769]$ $ORACLE_HOME/OPatch/opatch query -all 29834717|grep description
  Patch description: "Database Release Update : 19.4.0.0.190716 (29834717)"
