[INS-06006] Passwordless SSH connectivity not set up between the following node(s): [racnode2]

When attempting to configure 19c grid infrastructure on Linux 8 by running gridSetup.sh the following error occurs in SSH connectivity step:

[INS-06006] Passwordless SSH connectivity not set up between the following node(s): [racnode2]

Even after manually setup SSH equivalence successfully, the error still exists and user cannot continue the GI installation and configuration.

SOLUTION

Apply patch 30159782 before run “gridSetup.sh”, see (Doc ID 1410202.1) for how to apply OneOff patch before run “gridSetup.sh”.

OR

apply the RU or higher where the fix for 30159782.8 is included

OR

Before installation, as root user: (please change the path if the location of your "scp" is not the same with below)

# Rename the original scp.
mv /usr/bin/scp /usr/bin/scp.orig

# Create a new file </usr/bin/scp>.
vi /usr/bin/scp
# Add the below line to the new created file </usr/bin/scp>.
/usr/bin/scp.orig -T $*

# Change the file permission.
chmod 555 /usr/bin/scp

After installation:
mv /usr/bin/scp.orig /usr/bin/scp

gridSetup.sh ERROR: Unable to verify the graphical display setup. This application requires X display. Make sure that xdpyinfo exist under PATH variable.

When setting up 19c GI by running “gridSetup.sh”, the following errors occur:

 $ ./gridSetup.sh

ERROR: Unable to verify the graphical display setup. This application requires X display. Make sure that xdpyinfo exist under PATH variable.



No X11 DISPLAY variable was set, but this program performed an operation which requires it.

SOLUTION

Enable X11forwarding in /etc/ssh/sshd_config.

# ls -ltr /etc/ssh/sshd_config
-rw——-. 1 root root 4131 Apr 4 2023 /etc/ssh/sshd_config

# vi /etc/ssh/sshd_config

X11Forwarding yes

# systemctl restart sshd

gridSetup.sh Fails with “ERROR: The home is not clean”

Before upgrading Oracle 18c GI to 19c GI, trying to apply the latest GI RU patches onto 19c gold image, it fails like following:

[grid@racnode1 grid]$ ./gridSetup.sh -silent -applyRU /media/sf_Software/Patches/19c/30463609
Preparing the home to patch...
Applying the patch /media/sf_Software/Patches/19c/30463609...
OPatch command failed while applying the patch. For details look at the logs from /u01/app/19.0.0/grid/cfgtoollogs/opatchauto/

It is because the patch path is not correct, patch 30463609 is Combo of OJVM  and GI. The correct path should be the sub-directory one.

[grid@racnode1 grid]$ ./gridSetup.sh -silent -applyRU /media/sf_Software/Patches/19c/30463609/30501910

ERROR: The home is not clean. This home cannot be used since there was a failed OPatch execution in this home. Use a different home to proceed.

When the command gridSetup.sh fails,  it makes the NEW_HOME unusable.

The only way to get around this issue currently is to clean the contents out of that HOME , and unzip the gold image again.

[grid@racnode1 ~]$ cd /u01/app/19.0.0/grid/
[grid@racnode1 grid]$ rm -fr * 
[grid@racnode1 grid]$ unzip <SW-LOCATION>/LINUX.X64_193000_grid_home.zip -d ./
[grid@racnode1 grid]$ ./gridSetup.sh -silent -applyRU /media/sf_Software/Patches/19c/30463609/30501910

How to Apply the Latest RU/RUR Patches onto 19c Gold Image Before Upgrading 18c GI to 19c GI

While upgrading GI from 18c to 19c, in order to minimize the downtime and reduce the impact on PROD environment, also minimize the risk of upgrading failure, Release Update(RU) or Release Update Reversion(RUR) patches can be applied onto new 19c GI image before upgrading 19c GI.
