Cause:
This is an Ownership issue. After
reinstalling grid and oracle software, or applying Patch, it changed the group
(ASMADMIN) to (OINSTALL) for ORACLE user and $ORACLE_HOME/bin folder. So now you have to
change the group back again to ASMADMIN and give appropriate permission also.
Solution:
With root user :-
[oracle@icms-test-db-st bin]$
[oracle@icms-test-db-st bin]$
[oracle@icms-test-db-st bin]$ su - root
Password:
[root@icms-test-db-st ~]#
[root@icms-test-db-st ~]#
[root@icms-test-db-st ~]# cd $ORACLE_HOME/bin
[root@icms-test-db-st bin]#
[root@icms-test-db-st bin]# chgrp asmadmin oracle
[root@icms-test-db-st bin]#
[root@icms-test-db-st bin]# chmod 6751 oracle
[root@icms-test-db-st bin]#
[root@icms-test-db-st bin]#
After that Database will be startup ..
