After years of installing Grid Infrastructures, today I have got for the first time an error on something new:

$ /u01/app/grid/crs1840/gridSetup.sh -silent -responseFile /u01/app/grid/crs1840/inventory/response/CERNDB_Grid_Config.rsp ORACLE_HOME_NAME=crs1840 Launching Oracle Grid Infrastructure Setup Wizard... [FATAL] [INS-13013] Target environment does not meet some mandatory requirements. CAUSE: Some of the mandatory prerequisites are not met. See logs for details. /tmp/GridSetupActions2018-11-13_12-40-03PM/gridSetupActions2018-11-13_12-40-03PM.log ACTION: Identify the list of failed prerequisite checks from the log: /tmp/GridSetupActions2018-11-13_12-40-03PM/gridSetupActions2018-11-13_12-40-03PM.log. Then either from the log file or from installation manual find the appropriate configuration to meet the prerequisites and fix it manually. |
Looking at the logs (which I do not have now as I removed them as part of the failed install cleanup 🙁 ), the error is generated by the cluster verification utility (CVU) on this check:
|
1 |
Verifying Port Availability for component "Oracle Remote Method Invocation (ORMI)" |
The components verified by the CVU can be found inside $ORACLE_HOME/cv/cvdata/. In my case, precisely:
|
1 2 3 |
$ grep -i ORMI $ORACLE_HOME/cv/cvdata/18/crsinst_prereq.xml <PORT NAME="Oracle Remote Method Invocation (ORMI)" VALUE="23791" PROTOCOL="TCP" NETWORK_TYPE="PUBLIC"/> <PORT NAME="Oracle Remote Method Invocation (ORMI)" VALUE="23792" PROTOCOL="TCP" NETWORK_TYPE="PUBLIC"/> |
This check is critical, so the install fails.
In my case the port was used by mcollectived.

The port has been taken dynamically, and previous runs of CVU did not encounter the problem.
A rare port conflict that might happen when configuring GI 🙂

So what did you do to resolve this? I got the same error and simply killed the processes….
Depending on what process holds the port, the solution might be different. If it is a port taken dynamically by non-critical process (like mcollectd in my case), killing it is the good solution.
