Exadata: Failed Bundle patch/patchset apply leaves clusterware unable to start (Doc ID 1498408.1)

Last updated on SEPTEMBER 24, 2021

Applies to:

Exadata Database Machine X2-2 Full Rack - Version All Versions to All Versions [Release All Releases]
Information in this document applies to any platform.

Symptoms

Gird home versions 11.2.X

+ A failed bundle patch apply leaves clusterware unable to start.

+ Reviewing the opatch logs for the failed apply, we see that the automatic rollback of the patch also failed

+ Tried a manual rollback of the bundle patch(using the BP readme) and still the clusterware fails to start

+ Checking the status of clusterware  with "crsctl stat res -t -init" shows the following resource states:

ora.asm      OFFLINE
ora.crsd     OFFLINE
ora.diskmon  OFFLINE

+ Reviewing the ASM alert log shows the following errors during startup- while trying to mount the diskgroup.

-----------------------------
SQL> ALTER DISKGROUP ALL MOUNT /* asm agent call crs *//* {0:0:2} */
NOTE: Diskgroups listed in ASM_DISKGROUPS are
      <DISKGROUP #1>
      <DISKGROUP #2>
NOTE: Diskgroup used for Voting files is:
      <DISKGROUP #3>
Diskgroup with spfile:<DISKGROUP #3>
Diskgroup used for OCR is:<DISKGROUP #3>
NOTE: cache registered group <DISKGROUP #1> number=1 incarn=0x1e8993b7

DSKM (ospid: 20823): terminating the instance due to error 56867

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

 

+ Additional symptoms observed from other reported issues ( which may or may not be present)

 o  Core files generated in the "$GRID_HOME/log/<HOSTNAME>/diskmon" due to diskmon crash

 o "crsctl start res ora.diskmon -init" might bring the resource online, but sets it back to offline as soon as ASM tried to start.

 o  The size or checksum  reported by   "cksum $GRID_HOME/bin/diskmon.bin" might be different across the nodes.

 o Connectivity issues reported by DISKMON log, aborting the clusterware startup

eg: 2013-05-17 19:32:02.860: [ DISKMON][20792:1105443136] dskm_new_ossb10: oss_open for device o/<IP> (inc 0, ossbp 0x2aaaac013e60) failed with error 2
