Hi,

Following is a detailed synopsis of my unsuccessful attempt at installing Oracle Cluster Ready Services(10.1) on a two node Windows 2000 advanced server system with external SCSI hard disk.



<B>Following is the Configuration of both the Nodes</B>



1.Intel Pentium P4 2.80 Ghz CPU

2.512 MB RAM

3.37 GB HDD

4.Windows 2000 Advanced Server SP4

5.Adaptec SCSI CARD 39160 ULTRA160 SCSI Controller

6.Two -10/100 Mbps Fast Ethernet PCI Adapter (DLINK)



<B>Clusterware</B>



Oracle Cluster Ready Services 10.1.0.2



<B>Configuration for SCSI</B>



1.Model Make :SEAGATE

2.Model Number :ST336607

3.Firmware: 0007

4.Model Name: Cheetah 10K.6

5.Capacity: 36.7GB

6.Speed: 10000 rpm



<B>Following are the pre-installation steps.</B>



1.The system setup involved 2 identical nodes with Windows 2000 Advanced Server SP4 OS.

2.Two static Public IP's for both the nodes

3.Two private IP's which can be pinged. (1st Node Private IP 10.10.10.2 2nd Node Private IP 10.10.10.3)

4.Entry of the private IP's can also be found in the host file.

5.ORA_DBA win group was created on both the nodes.

6.Both the nodes are connected to a external SCSI hard disk



<B>CRS installation Steps</B>



<P>1.On the Cluster Configuration page the Public Node Names and corresponding Private Node Names were entered.

2.On the Network Interface Usage Page one interface was selected as Public (192.168.144.0) and the other interface was selected as Private (10.10.10.0)

3.On Disk formatting Options page the ‘Do not format any logical drives was selected’.

4.Finally the Logical partitions made on the SCSI hard disk were assigned to the OCR and voting disk.

OUI installed the Oracle folder and services on the primary node and on the remote node. But failed to start the services on both the nodes.



<B>Following is snippet of the OUI installing log.</B>

<B>Event ID:9</B>

Description: The device, \Device\SCSI\adpu160m1, did not respond within the time out period.



Since the above method failed following alternate method was tired



The CRS software was installed on just one node. This installation went about without any problems with all the services up and running.



Using the ADDNode utility provided by CRS another node was added. But again when CRSSetup.exe tried to start the services on the remote node following error was encountered.



<B>PC-P41300 service OracleCSService in improper PENDING state, err(997)</B>



I would be grateful if some could help me with this problem.



<P>Thanking you in Anticipation,
