We might encounter an error on one or more cluster nodes during installation when running the root.sh command, such as a missing operating system package on one node. By running “rootcrs.sh -deconfig -force” on nodes where you encounter an installation error, you can unconfigure Oracle Clusterware on those nodes, correct the cause of the error, and then run root.sh again.
