Error RC-002- Unable to read driver files. Please report this error to your Oracle representative for action.

Exiting .....



  While running exacheck I got the above error and there is no document as such that explains why I got this error message.

I gave another shot at the exacheck user guide and it says it is preferable to copy/use the exacheck script from Database node-1 $HOME directory of the oracle software installation owner (oracle user) i.e /home/oracle  ( remember it is mentioned in the doc as a preference and not mandatory )  anyway I copied back the exacheck.zip from dbfs mount to home directory unzipped it and ran the exacheck from there..bingo it picked up the driver files this time...


exa-host1(DBSID1)  /home/oracle

CRS stack is running and CRS_HOME is not set. Do you want to set CRS_HOME to /u01/app/11.2.0.3/grid?[y/n][y]
