PRIF-12: failed to initialize cluster support services

766400Apr 13 2010 — edited Apr 13 2010
- RHEL 5
- Oracle 10gR2
- 2 node cluster (racnode1, racnode2)
- Using openfiler as shared storage
- Using this how-to http://www.oracle.com/technology/pub/articles/hunter_rac10gr2_iscsi_3.html

I am on the final page of the how-to and have run into an issue. When trying to install Clusterware OUI fails on this command:

*[root@racnode1 admin]# /u01/app/crs/bin/oifcfg setif -global eth1/192.168.1.0:cluster_interconnect eth0/10.5.96.0:public*
PRIF-12: failed to initialize cluster support services

The oifcfg.log presents the following which is beyond my kung-fu:

hello Micros,

If you have small project its beneficial to use Single repository

and the main advantage to have a Single repository is the execution speed ,

If you are using multiple rep its difficult to merge them and the speed is very low

Hello Micros

I have made an installation with one BI Server with multiple repositories, served by multiple presentation services, on Oracle Unbreakable R4. It is a little bit tricky but it works.

Can you share how you did it? What was the tricky part?

Answer
I'm going to write a document about this sometime in the future.
Right now these are some basic steps:

1. Deploy a new version of analytics application on OC4J using the analytics.war on $ORACLEBI/web/
2. Edit file $ORACLEBI/oc4j_bi/j2ee/home/applications/analytics_<new>/WEB-INF/web.xml and change value for "oracle.bi.presentation.sawserver.port"to 9711
3. Add new repository on NQSConfig.Ini and restart BI Server
4. Create a new entry on $ORACLEBI/setup/odbc.sh as a copy of AnalyticsWeb, that should point to the new repository
5. Create a new catalog folder on $ORACLEBIDATA/web/catalog
6. Create a new instanceconfig.xml and add <Listener port=”9711″ />after the <DNS .../> entry.
7. On the new instanceconfig.xml change the Catalogpath to point to the new catalog folder created on step 5, and DNS to the one created on step 4
8. Create new scripts to start the sawserver with parameter the complete path to the new instanceconfig.xml.
9. Restart OC4J and BI Server and start the new Presentation Services with the scripts you made.

This is not a complete guide but the outline of the procedure. I 'm planning to make it complete sometime (if I find some free time)
