libocijdbc11.so Library32-bit Java refers to the 64-bit $ORACLE_HOME/lib/libocijdbc11.so library and displays an exception.
Workaround: Set the LD_LIBRARY_PATH variable to $ORACLE_HOME/lib32.
This issue is tracked with Oracle bug 5507215.
When you upgrade Oracle Database 10g Release 1 (10.1.0.4) to Oracle Database 11g, the database instance fails to start after the rootupgrade.sh script is run and an error message is displayed.

Attempt the upgrade from Oracle Database 10g Release 1 (10.1.0.5) to Oracle Database 11g.
When upgrading Oracle9i database to Oracle Database 11g, Database Upgrade Assistant fails to stop the Oracle9i database on Oracle Clusterware.
Workaround: Complete the following procedure to resolve this issue:
Run the following commands on each node in Oracle Clusterware:
$CRSHome/bin/crsuser add Oracle_92_user_domain/Oracle_92_username $CRSHome/bin/crs_setperm ora.node_name.gsd -o Oracle_92_user_domain/Oracle_92_username
From any node in the cluster, run the following commands for each node configured in the cluster:
$CRSHome/bin/crs_stop -f ora.node_name.gsd $CRSHome/bin/crs_start ora.node_name.gsd
Note:
To find the list of nodes in the cluster, run the$CRSHome\bin\olsnodes command.This issue is tracked with Oracle bug 6499906.
When you start upgrading second node from Oracle Database 10g Release 2 to Oracle Database 11g, an error message is displayed while copying files during the upgrade process.
Workaround: Run the upgrade session from the node on which you initially installed Oracle RAC.
This issue is tracked with Oracle bug 6501871.
When installing Oracle Database 11g, if you click Help, then Oracle Universal Installer does not display the help page for the Run Root.sh screen.
This issue is tracked with Oracle bug 6503397.
When installing Oracle Database 11g (11.1.0.6.0) software with create or upgrade database option, Oracle Database Configuration Assistant fails to start and Oracle Universal installer displays the OUI-25301 error message.
When running Oracle Database Configuration Assistant after the installation, the following error message is displayed:
java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError: $ORACLE_HOME/lib/libOsUtils.so
Workaround: To resolve this issue, complete the following procedure before starting Oracle Universal Installer or Oracle Database Configuration Assistant:
Run the following command to set the JAVA64FLAG variable:
$ export JAVA64FLAG="-d64"
Start Oracle Universal Installer or Oracle Database Configuration Assistant.
This issue is tracked with Oracle bug 6628285.
When performing Data Guard rolling upgrade from Oracle Database 10g Release 2 (10.2.0.3) using Oracle Database Upgrade Assistant, Oracle Enterprise Manger displays an error message.
This issue is tracked with Oracle bug 6597505.
When performing upgrade from Oracle Database 10g Release 1 (10.1.0.4), Oracle Enterprise Manager Database Control fails and displays the following error message:
QUEUE SYSMAN.MGMT_NOTIFY_Q does not exist
Workaround: To resolve this issue, run the following SQL command as SYSMAN user before performing the upgrade:
SQL> BEGIN SQL> DBMS_AQADM.CREATE_QUEUE_TABLE (queue_table => SQL> 'SYSMAN.MGMT_NOTIFY_QTABLE', queue_payload_type => SQL> 'SYSMAN.MGMT_NOTIFY_NOTIFICATION', multiple_consumers => TRUE); SQL> DBMS_AQADM.CREATE_QUEUE (queue_name => 'SYSMAN.MGMT_NOTIFY_Q', SQL> queue_table => 'SYSMAN.MGMT_NOTIFY_QTABLE'); SQL> DBMS_AQADM.START_QUEUE (queue_name => 'SYSMAN.MGMT_NOTIFY_Q'); SQL> END;
This issue is tracked with Oracle bug 5508403.
Oracle Universal Installer displays the following warning message:
Warning: Cannot convert string "-monotype-arial-regular-r-normal--*-140-*-*-p-*-iso8859-1" to type FontStruct sh: sysdef: not found sh: sysdef: not found
Workaround: This is a benign message and you can ignore it. Click Ok to continue with the installation process.
This issue is tracked with Oracle bug 6145402.
If you install Oracle Clusterware on shared Oracle home, the /var/opt/oracle/oratab file lists multiple Automatic Storage instances.
When Automatic Storage Management Oracle home is installed in shared file system to create Automatic Storage Management instances from Oracle Universal Installer, multiple Automatic Storage Management instances are listed in the /var/opt/oracle/oratab file.
Workaround: Oracle Universal Installer detects this issue during the prerequisite checks. You can edit the /var/opt/oracle/oratab file in each node and remove the entries that are not part of that node. The alternative is to install the software, run the root.sh script on all nodes and create Automatic Storage Management instance by running Database Configuration Assistant.
The issue is tracked with Oracle bug 5942123.
When you remove Automatic Storage Management with database, the *.err log file is created under the under the $ORACLE_BASE\oraInventory\logs. directory. This file shows that some error was generated when removing Automatic Storage Management with database.
This issue is tracked with Oracle bug 6369645.
The following sections contain information about issues related to Oracle Database 11g and associated products:
Same Location for Symbolic links to Oracle Instant Client Libraries Does not Work
Oracle Clusterware Node Addition in Vendor Cluster Environment
The OC4JADMIN user is deactivated during the Oracle Database 11g installation process. After the installation is complete, you must modify the $ORACLE_HOME/oc4j/j2ee/OC4J_SEARCH/config/system-jazn-data.xml file. Replace the following content of the file:
<user deactivated="true"> <name>oc4jadmin</name> <display-name>OC4J Administrator</display-name> <description>OC4J Administrator</description>
with:
<user> <name>oc4jadmin</name> <display-name>OC4J Administrator</display-name> <description>OC4J Administrator</description>
Use the following commands to restart the Oracle Ultra Search middle tier in the Oracle Database:
$ $ORACLE_HOME/bin/searchctl stop $ $ORACLE_HOME/bin/searchctl start
If you keep Oracle Instant Client libraries in different directories and create symbolic links to these libraries in the same directory, then the Oracle Instant Client mode is not turned on.
Workaround: All the Oracle Instant Client libraries must physically reside in the same directory.
This issue is tracked with Oracle bug 6504887.
When adding a node to the Oracle Clusterware in a vendor cluster environment that uses host names with fully qualified domain names, the rootaddnode.sh utility displays the following error message:
PRKO-2006 : Invalid node name: NODE_NAME
Workaround: For each node that is being added to the Oracle Clusterware, run the following command:
srvctl add nodeapps -n node_name_without_fully_qualified_ domain_name -A node-vip/netmask/Interfaces
Note:
To find the node name and virtual IP address/netmask/interface to be used for the newly added nodes, you can refer to values set for the following variables in therootaddnode.sh script:
CRS_NEW_NODE_NAME_LIST= CRS_NEW_NODEVIPS= NETMASK= NETIFs=
To find if the vendor clusterware is configured, run the $ORA_CRS_HOME/bin/lsnodes command. The lsnodes command displays the list of nodes in this case.
You can refer to rootaddnode.sh for the value that ORA_CRS_HOME is set to.
This issue is tracked with Oracle bug 6617499.
