Re: Oracle 11.0.2.4 EE failed to start, possible crsd problem

Rene,
I don't think it is installed/configured.

$gpnptool get
Warning: some command line parameters were defaulted. Resulting command line:

         $GI_HOME/bin/gpnptool.bin get -o-

Fatal error: cannot get local GPnP security keys (wallet). Fatal error: cannot initialize GPnP, CLSGPNP_ERR (Generic GPnP error).

Fatal: GPnP init failed. Make sure GPnP client setup is correct (wallets, etc.)

Thank you,
Chen

I even called to escalate the issue and talked with a support manager after wasting 50 minutes waiting. 3 support engineers took brief turns asking me to provide logs/info and went off their shifts. So far I still have no feedback on what might have gone wrong and next time we attempt patching it again if we will have the same issue.
