Error: Wrong CRS_HOME specified, or missing permissions to run CRS commands (4302630)

Adding Oracle Cluster Ready Services (CRS) agent fails with the following:

Error: Wrong CRS_HOME specified, or missing permissions to run CRS commands

Cause 1

Wrong CRS_HOME

Cause 2

olsnodes command cannot be run
 

Cause 3

The adrci command cannot be run
 

On all platforms, when monitoring the Clusterware using the CRS agent:

• For running the Clusterware monitoring wizard: test, uname, ps, awk, {CRS_HOME}/bin/olsnodes, adrci
• For monitoring the Clusterware: {CRS_HOME}/bin/crs_stat, tail
• On all platforms: df, du, awk, iostat, vmstat, uptime, netstat, sed, ps, uname, grep, ls -l

Resolution 1

Ensure that the CRS_HOME is defined correctly

Resolution 2

Ensure that the CRS agent OS user has the necessary permissions and is able to run  $CRS_HOME/bin/olsnodes.

Resolution 3

Ensure that the adrci command has the necessary permissions and is able run without a message "No ADR base is set".

• If the message "No ADR base is set" when running the adrci command, then check to see if there is a file adrci_dir.mif in $ORACLE_HOME/log/diag, that the files has the necessary permissions to be read by the OS user, and that the file contains the correct ADR base location
