This blogpost is about how to clean up the failed Grid
Infrastructure installation,When Grid Infrastructure
installation fails, especially while running the root.sh script, Failure maybe
due to various reasons. My failure reason was that, I was installing GI and in
my VM I had allocated very little memory, due to which the root.sh script
hanged, patiently waited for 3 hours, nothing moved, had to abruptly shutdown
the VM and go home.

When checked, it was a half baked situation, In
node “ajithn1” ASM instance was up and running and all crs services were up
Using username

In node “ajithn2”, again ASM instance was up but
cluster services were not.

Now, how to cleanup your GI installation? To do
a cleanup execute the below perl command on all the nodes but not the last node
(I have only 2 nodes, so second node will have a slightly different command)
[oracle@ajithn1 ~]$ perl
/u01/grid/oracle/product/11.2.0/grid_1/crs/install/rootcrs.pl -verbose

My ASM instance was also up, But when I try to
reinstall the GI, I will not be able to use the already used ASM devices (sdb1,
sdc1), So, let’s scribble something on the headers of the devices to erase the
details of ASM DG and make it reusable. (Using dd command to erase the ASM
diskgroup details from device headers)
