ORA-01031: insufficient privileges On ASM – Grid Infrastructure 11gR2

Posted on by Osama Mustafa in Database
Today like any other day started with customer call , Telling me There is problem on Grid infrastructure after restarting both node, They change heartbeat from cables to connected on switch after i told them to do this.

The Error in the logs like the  below :-
CRS-5011:Check of resource “+ASM” failed: details at “(:CLSN00006:)”

Node #2 was running without any problem , the issue was with node #1 and nothing changed recently.

The Error in Node #1 :-

crsctl start cluster

PRCR-1079 : Failed to start resource ora.asm
ORA-01031: insufficient privileges
CRS-5017: The resource action “ora.asm start” encountered the following error:
ORA-01031: insufficient privileges
. For details refer to “(:CLSN00107:)” in “/u01/app/grid/11.2.0.4/log/lux335/agent/ohasd/oraagent_oracle/oraagent_oracle.log”.

as you see from the above error “ORA-01031: insufficient privileges” i was running this command as root.
After check node #1 the solution so simple :-

Under $GRID_HOME/network/admin
vi sqlnet.ora

SQLNET.AUTHENTICATION_SERVICES = (NONE)

which is wrong and to be changed to the following value :-

SQLNET.AUTHENTICATION_SERVICES = (NTS)

Reboot Node #1 and everything running successfully.

Thank you

JDWP exit error AGENT_ERROR_TRANSPORT_INIT(197): No transports initialized [../../../src/share/back/debugInit.c:750]

This Error Appeared when trying to start Managed server the Log Shown the above error, which already clear, in my case i have 2 managed server SOA and OSB in the same AdminServer each of them trying to access on the same PID process using Node Manager to solve this issue please follow the below steps.
Solutions :-
  • Inside Domain Path for example /u01/app/fmw/domains/Base_domain/bin
  • Edit setDomainEnv.sh and search for the below :-

if [ “${DEBUG_PORT}” = “” ] ; then
        DEBUG_PORT=”8453″
        export DEBUG_PORT
fi

if [ “${SERVER_NAME}” = “” ] ; then
        SERVER_NAME=”AdminServer”
        export SERVER_NAME
fi

  •  Add New Lines under the above to contain server name and available DEBUG_PORT on the server like the below:-

if [ “${SERVER_NAME}” = “soa_server1” ] ; then
   DEBUG_PORT=”7453″
   export DEBUG_PORT
fi

if [ “${SERVER_NAME}” = “osb_server1” ] ; then
   DEBUG_PORT=”7454″
   export DEBUG_PORT
