How to Clean Up After a Failed Oracle Clusterware

Not cleaning up a failed CRS install can cause problems like node reboots.
Follow these steps to clean up a failed CRS install:

1. Run the rootdelete.sh script then the rootdeinstall.sh script from the
$ORA_CRS_HOME/install directory on any nodes you are removing CRS from.  Running
these scripts should be sufficent to clean up your CRS install.  Rootdelete.sh
accepts options like nosharedvar/sharedvar, and nosharedhome/sharedhome. Make
yourself familiar with these options by reading the Oracle Clusterware and
Oracle Real Application Clusters Administration and Deployment Guide.
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 boots.  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
   Usually the ocr.loc can be found at /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 of=/dev/rdsk/V1064_vote_01_20m.dbf bs=1M count=256
        dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/rdsk/ocrV1064_100m.ora bs=1M count=256

   See the Clusterware Installation Guide for sizing requirements... 

   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. It is good practice to reboot the node before starting the next install.

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