People who use RAC to control additional, non-oracle resources, probably also create a \"Virtual IP\" resource.<\/p>\n
After patching 10.2.0.1 -> 10.2.0.3<\/a>, the file usrvip<\/em> (handles creation\/deletion of Virtual IPs) gets two buggy lines:<\/p>\n ORACLE_HOME=%ORA_CRS_HOME% Yes, it looks like windows, and yes, it doesn't work \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n To fix it, just replace %ORA_CRS_HOME%<\/em> with $ORA_CRS_HOME<\/em> or put the actual path, depends if $ORA_CRS_HOME<\/em> is available at that context.<\/p>\n I've learned some things from this issue:<\/p>\n 1. Patching up does not always help to fix bugs, sometimes it creates them! (I know it's trivial, but first time I actually SEE that)<\/p>\n 2. Open Source (this time it was a bash script), even non-GPL, is soo important. With hardly any mentioning on the net*, we could find the bug only by inspecting the VIP scripts.<\/p>\n 3. Community developed software such as Linux-HA<\/a>, would've fixed that in two days, I believe.<\/p>\n
