Symptoms

The following example uses two nodes (node004 and node007)

 1.  The "crsctl stat" on node004, the bad node shows that ctssd and rest of the higher stack, such as evmd,crsd,ASM etc are in OFFLINE status :

2.  alertnode004.log (node where CRS is not coming up) :

---------------


3.  NTPD is being used to sync up the clock on the cluster, and its running on the other(good) node, node007(see above) which is the master of CTSSD. So CTSSD is running in OBSERVER mode on node007.
The octssd.log of the bad node, node004  shows that it can't detect the vendor time sync software as "ntp.conf" doesn't exist :
