how to clean failed crs

Some people might be don't have access to metalink, so i would like to help those people in clean up failed CRS installation in Oracle 10g RAC

1. Run rootdelete.sh script. then the rootdeinstall.sh script. from the $ORA_CRS_HOME/install directory on any nodes you are removing CRS. Running these scripts should be sufficent to clean up your CRS install. If you have any problems with these scripts please open a service request.

If for some reason you have to manually remove the install due to problems with the scripts, continue to step 2:

2. Stop the Nodeapps on all nodes:

srvctl stop nodeapps -n

3. Prevent CRS from starting when the node reboot. To do this issue the following as root:

Sun:
rm /etc/init.d/init.cssd
rm /etc/init.d/init.crs
rm /etc/init.d/init.crsd
rm /etc/init.d/init.evmd
rm /etc/rc3.d/K96init.crs
rm /etc/rc3.d/S96init.crs
rm -Rf /var/opt/oracle/scls_scr
rm -Rf /var/opt/oracle/oprocd
rm /etc/inittab.crs
cp /etc/inittab.orig /etc/inittab

Linux:
rm /etc/oracle/*
rm -f /etc/init.d/init.cssd
rm -f /etc/init.d/init.crs
rm -f /etc/init.d/init.crsd
rm -f /etc/init.d/init.evmd
rm -f /etc/rc2.d/K96init.crs
rm -f /etc/rc2.d/S96init.crs
rm -f /etc/rc3.d/K96init.crs
rm -f /etc/rc3.d/S96init.crs
rm -f /etc/rc5.d/K96init.crs
rm -f /etc/rc5.d/S96init.crs
rm -Rf /etc/oracle/scls_scr
rm -f /etc/inittab.crs
cp /etc/inittab.orig /etc/inittab

HP-UX:
rm /sbin/init.d/init.cssd
rm /sbin/init.d/init.crs
rm /sbin/init.d/init.crsd
rm /sbin/init.d/init.evmd
rm /sbin/rc2.d/K960init.crs
rm /sbin/rc2.d/K001init.crs
rm /sbin/rc3.d/K960init.crs
rm /sbin/rc3.d/S960init.crs
rm -Rf /var/opt/oracle/scls_scr
rm -Rf /var/opt/oracle/oprocd
rm /etc/inittab.crs
cp /etc/inittab.orig /etc/inittab

HP Tru64:
rm /sbin/init.d/init.cssd
rm /sbin/init.d/init.crs
rm /sbin/init.d/init.crsd
rm /sbin/init.d/init.evmd
rm /sbin/rc3.d/K96init.crs
rm /sbin/rc3.d/S96init.crs
rm -Rf /var/opt/oracle/scls_scr
rm -Rf /var/opt/oracle/oprocd
rm /etc/inittab.crs
cp /etc/inittab.orig /etc/inittab

IBM AIX:
rm /etc/init.cssd
rm /etc/init.crs
rm /etc/init.crsd
rm /etc/init.evmd
rm /etc/rc.d/rc2.d/K96init.crs
rm /etc/rc.d/rc2.d/S96init.crs
rm -Rf /etc/oracle/scls_scr
rm -Rf /etc/oracle/oprocd
rm /etc/inittab.crs
cp /etc/inittab.orig /etc/inittab

4. If they are not already down, kill off EVM, CRS, and CSS processes or reboot the node:

ps -ef | grep crs
kill
ps -ef | grep evm
kill
ps -ef | grep css
kill

Do not kill any OS processes, for example icssvr_daemon process

5. If there is no other Oracle software running (like listeners, DB's, etc...), you can remove the files in /var/tmp/.oracle or /tmp/.oracle. Example:

rm -f /var/tmp/.oracle
or
rm -f /tmp/.oracle

6. Remove the ocr.loc in /etc/oracle

7. De-install the CRS home in the Oracle Universal Installer

8. Remove the CRS install location:

rm -Rf /*

9. Clean out the OCR and Voting Files with dd commands. Example:

dd if=/dev/zero f=/dev/rdsk/V1064_vote_01_20m.dbf bs=8192 count=2560
dd if=/dev/zero f=/dev/rdsk/ocrV1064_100m.ora bs=8192 count=12800

If you placed the OCR and voting disk on a shared filesystem, remove them.

If you are removing the RDBMS installation, also clean out any ASM disks if
they have already been used.

10.If you would like to re-install CRS, follow the steps in the RAC Installation manual.



Hope this will help you out
