I faced error "[NS-20802] Grid Infrastructure Configuration Failed" during a 2 node Oracle 11.2 RAC installation on Windows 2008 R2 (64 bit). All prerequisites were checked and cluvfy also did not show any problem, but during installation,
the installation failed at the following screen (on node1 where installation was initiated.)

As can be seen above, there wasn't any ERROR message in the installation log files (installActions<Date_Time>.log) on either of the nodes, but, there was a WARNING "WARNING: Parameter ORACLE_OWNER not defined at D:\oracle\11203\grid\crs\install/crsconfig_lib.pm line 12044" in the log file of node 1 (please see above log snippet). Even though there wasn't any error message on node2 log file, but there was a message (INFO: Checkpoint:Failed Checkpoint found returning it for getAllFailedCheckPoints) which was not much clear.
Based on the WARNING message on node 1, I had a hint that there could be something wrong with the OS user which is performing this installation
Solution
Actually the OS user name which I was using for this installation (domain user which was part of local Administrator group) was starting with a dollar sign i.e "$MY_USER_NAME" and this was the actual problem. Once we created a new OS user without $ sign as first letter, all went fine and I was able to perform a successful installation.
I have experienced same error being returned if username starts with a number.
Note
Remember; that in my case, $ sign was first character of the OS user I was using. If you have $ sign or any other special character or a number as first character or anywhere in the OS user name and you face this problem, you can consider creating a new user without any special character or a number as the first character of the username.
I contacted Oracle support but they also did not mentioned any restriction of this type, and until now (while I am writing this post), there is no official document available at MOS which explains this restriction of OS user name.
A similar type of issue is discussed here where OS username started with a number.
Oracle attempt to use your current Windows domain credentials to authenticate you with the oracle server.
ReplyDeleteThis could fail the oracle server is not configured to support Windows authentication
or the credentials you use to login to your local machine are not sufficient to allow you to login to the server.
I had the same problem during installing grid 11g 2 (11.2.0.1 -11.2.0.4). The domain user was added to local admin group but that does not mean that had automatic admin privileges.
After 4 days inside asmca.log there was an error (ORA-12638….).Booooom…Kerberos authentication problem…
I try to change SQLNET.AUTHENTICATION_SERVICES= (NTS) to SQLNET.AUTHENTICATION_SERVICES= (NONE)…
But every time i was hitting the retry button the installer was reverting the value on the file sqlnet.ora to (NTS)…
So i decide to run the installer as local administrator…..
BOOOOOOOM….. Finally the installation of grid 11g r2 ended with no errors!!!!!!!!!
Just a couple days i was reading about the same problem (i cannot remember the site) and someone suggested
to add the DES ciphers to “Network security: Configure encryption types allowed for Kerberos” inside
“Computer Configuration\Policies\Windows Settings\Security Settings\Local Policies\Security Options”…
I have not tried that solution yet, but if someone is willing to try please let us now….
