I am installing Oracle10g Release2 on Solaris 9. I have Veritas Volume
manager with cluster feature (CVM) enabled. I created the OCR and
voting disks with proper permissions in the shared disk group under
VxVm.

The clusterware installtion was going fine. I had started "root.sh"
script. While this script was formating "voting disk2" I happened to
make "Ctrl+C" by mistake. The script aborted.

After this I deleted the "crs" home directory, "oraInventory"
directory, and /var/opt/oracle directory, and also the ocr and coting
shared disks and tried to start the clusterware installation again.
However the "root.sh" aborts in the early steps even before the "ocr"
and voting disks formating process. I get the following error :

--------------------------------------
root@db907srv1 # /u01/app/crs/root.sh
ln: cannot create /u01/app/crs/lib/libskgxn2.so: File exists
ln: cannot create /u01/app/crs/lib32/libskgxn2.so: File exists
Checking to see if Oracle CRS stack is already configured
Checking to see if any 9i GSD is up

Setting the permissions on OCR backup directory
Setting up NS directories
PROT-1: Failed to initialize ocrconfig
Failed to upgrade Oracle Cluster Registry configuration
---------------------------------------------------

Seems the CRS was not removed completely. Please help me on how to make
a complete removal of the oracle from this machine and start the
installation phase again.

Thanks

Actually IT-Prof, you are correct, CRS was not completally removed,
although I can't tell you where to look for the pieces that where not
removed, I can tell you how to correct the problem.

The new CRS install is looking at this as an upgrade, there is a script
that is created dynamically executed as part of root.sh (the second
script called by the shell). If you vi that script and search fo the
word upgrade, you will see taht yet another script is called with
-upgrade being passed as a parameter, simply run the script called
minus any parameters and this should bring you to completion of your
installation.

If you require any additional help or have more questions, please feel
free to contact me.
