PRVF-5300 - Failed to retrieve active version for CRS on this node

Did anyone of you encountered this error during the installation of 11g database instance?
I was just setup my GRID infrastructure 11.2.0.3.0 in my environment, this is further up to install database instance into my environment.
Until prerequisite verification step, oracle installation thrown me this error!
Oh my goodness, how do I continue?



To capture the exact error, I have to rerun the installation with debug mode.
 ./runInstaller -debug -logLevel finest >error1.out 2>error2.out

 "[pool-1-thread-1] [ 2015-06-26 14:57:01.348 SGT ] [ClusterInfo.getReleaseVersionString:1999]  Release version = 11.2.0.3.0]

In my point of view, this is related to oracle database software version 11.2.0.2.0 doesn't not recognize with version string of the newer GRID infrastructure 11.2.0.3.0.

Run the below command to ignore the prerequisite checking.
./runInstaller -ignorePrereq

The installation is completed successfully.

ACFS-9129: ADVM/ACFS not installed in Oracle Linux 6

Oracle Version: 11.2.0.3
OS: Oracle Linux 6
Database Server: oratest01

I'll been sometimes never update my blog, due to I've a busy day with performance tuning course and stock market.
Since this evening, I have sometimes, I would like to share with you the issue on my new GRID infrastructure installation. The issue is about ACFS not able to detect in my new installation.

Current OS platform checking.
[root@oratest01 bin]# uname -a
Linux oratest01 2.6.39-200.24.1.el6uek.x86_64 #1 SMP Sat Jun 23 02:39:07 EDT 2012 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

Go to my $GRID_HOME.
[root@oratest01 ~]#  cd /app/11.2.0/grid/bin

I would tried to start the ACFS modules, seems like it was unsuccessful.
[root@oratest01 bin]# ./acfsload start –s
ACFS-9391: Checking for existing ADVM/ACFS installation.
ACFS-9129: ADVM/ACFS not installed

Login as root user, run the query to determine if the required modules are loaded.
[root@oratest01 bin]# lsmod | grep oracle
oracleasm              53352  1

Command to cross check the ACFS state.

[grid@oratest01 admin]$ $GRID_HOME/bin/acfsdriverstate -orahome /app/11.2.0/grid installed

ACFS-9204: false

[grid@oratest01 admin]$ $GRID_HOME/bin/acfsdriverstate -orahome /app/11.2.0/grid loaded

ACFS-9204: false

[grid@oratest01 admin]$ $GRID_HOME/bin/acfsdriverstate -orahome /app/11.2.0/grid version

ACFS-9129: ADVM/ACFS not installed

[grid@oratest01 admin]$ $GRID_HOME/bin/acfsdriverstate -orahome /app/11.2.0/grid supported

ACFS-9200: Supported

I'll think during the root.sh execution, the process did not created the directory in /lib/modules and copied over the installation files.
Hence, we have to copy the installation files manually from GRID home to new created folder.
[root@oratest01 ~]#  mkdir -p /lib/modules/2.6.39-200.0.15.el6uek.x86_64/extra/usm
[root@oratest01 bin]# cd /app/11.2.0/grid/install/usm/EL6/x86_64/2.6.32-200/2.6.32-200-x86_64/bin
[root@oratest01 bin]# cp *ko /lib/modules/2.6.39-200.0.15.el6uek.x86_64/extra/usm

Cross check the ACFS driver.
[grid@oratest01 modules]$ $GRID_HOME/bin/acfsdriverstate -orahome /app/11.2.0/grid version
ACFS-9325:     Driver OS kernel version = 2.6.39-200.0.15.el6uek.x86_64(x86_64).
ACFS-9326:     Driver Oracle version = 130428.

The next step, we should install ACFS with the corresponding drivers.

[root@oratest01 bin]# ./acfsroot install
ACFS-9300: ADVM/ACFS distribution files found.
ACFS-9312: Existing ADVM/ACFS installation detected.
ACFS-9314: Removing previous ADVM/ACFS installation. # $GRID_HOME/bin/acfsroot uninstall
ACFS-9315: Previous ADVM/ACFS components successfully removed.
ACFS-9307: Installing requested ADVM/ACFS software.
ACFS-9308: Loading installed ADVM/ACFS drivers.
ACFS-9321: Creating udev for ADVM/ACFS.
ACFS-9323: Creating module dependencies - this may take some time.
ACFS-9154: Loading 'oracleoks.ko' driver.
ACFS-9154: Loading 'oracleadvm.ko' driver.
ACFS-9154: Loading 'oracleacfs.ko' driver.
ACFS-9327: Verifying ADVM/ACFS devices.
ACFS-9156: Detecting control device '/dev/asm/.asm_ctl_spec'.
ACFS-9156: Detecting control device '/dev/ofsctl'.
ACFS-9309: ADVM/ACFS installation correctness verified.


Final step, activate the ACFS  and double check modules activation.

[root@oratest01 bin]# ./acfsload start -s

[root@oratest01 bin]# lsmod | grep oracle
oracleacfs           1881447  0
oracleadvm            231674  0
oracleoks             329556  2 oracleacfs,oracleadvm
oracleasm              53352  1

Is it completely outstanding?
