ODAVP: Re-Imaging

The ODA discovery process may occasionally fell with the mysterious error below:

“The following errors are found during discovery. Please examine the error message and the targets being discovered if any”

This error may be caused by the root password including a special character, & or $.

Running the oakcli orachk command on one of my ODA before starting applying a new patch bundle, I noticed the following warning

FAIL => ASM Audit file destination file count > 100,000

Indeed, despite a purge running daily, the number of audit files generated daily was exceeding 200.000.

This was due to the CHECK_INTERVAL=1 being set at the cluster level

crsctl stat res ora.asm -p|grep CHECK

Here is the solution to change it to 60 seconds

crsctl modify res ora.asm -attr "CHECK_INTERVAL=60" -unsupported

Make sure to specify the latest attribute to avoid the error CRS-4995 error.
