DBCA stops while adding a new node to a two-node RAC

Hi,

OS:             Windows 2003 Enterprise Edition SP1
Database:       Oracle Database 10g (10.2.0.3.0)
Home:           CRS_HOME (10.2.0.3)
                ORACLE_HOME (ASM + Database)
(10.2.0.3)
Nodes in RAC: 2

While adding a new (third) node, we successfully completed the following steps:

  1. Adding the third node to the Oracle Cluster.
  2. Configuring Oracle Home on the third node.

We followed "Oracle Clusterware and Oracle Real Application Clusters
Administration and Deployment Guide" document to add new node.

After completing the above steps, we started DBCA in an interactive mode to "Add Database Instance to New Node".
On Step 4 (where DBCA displays the List of Cluster Databases page that shows the databases and their current status), when we press the "Next" button, nothing happens and DBCA doesn't get to the next screen and following error is reported in the DBCA log.

Eventually, we created the ASM Instance manually on the third node and registered it with the Cluster. To create a database instance on the new node, we need to have a separate redologs for the third node. How do we create Redo Logs for the new database instance.

I searched the Metalink/Internet for a document describing manual procedure to add a database instance on a new node, but all the documents use DBCA to create the third database instance.

Questions that remain open are:
1) Why DBCA is stopping at that point and how do we proceed?
2) How to manually add a database instance to a new node and register it with RAC.

Thanks for sharing your views.

Regards

Momen.
