ASMCA fails to create 11.2 ASM instance when upgrading from 10.2 [ID 1125053.1]

Cause

CSSD aborts itself as its listener thread can not be started. The error is "Address already in use". This is due to network socket files created by current CSS daemon (10.2).

Solution

1- Clean up network socket files

# rm -rf /tmp/.oracle /usr/tmp/.oracle /var/tmp/.oracle

Then reboot the server.

2- Deconfigure 11.2 ( Following example is for 11.2.0.1 / Use the equivalent commands for 11.2.0.2 and 11.2.0.3 ) CSS daemon:

As root, execute "$GRID_HOME/crs/install/roothas.pl -delete -force -verbose"

script. /tmp/deconfigure.log
date
id
env

# perl $GRID_HOME/crs/install/roothas.pl -delete -force -verbose

exit

3- To reconfigure

script. /tmp/configure.log
date
id
env

# perl roothas.pl

exit

4- Then run ASMCA manually to create ASM instance
