Oracle Database Error ACFS-03118: Host Node Resolution Failure
Description
This error indicates that Oracle Automatic Storage Management Cluster File System (ACFS) cannot determine the node number for a specified host. This typically occurs in a clustered environment when ACFS attempts to query Cluster Synchronization Services (CSS) or the Oracle Registry for host-to-node mappings, and the lookup fails. It prevents ACFS operations that rely on accurate node identification.
Error Message
cannot obtain the node number of host string via CSS or the Oracle Registry
Known Causes
3 known causesCSS Service Unavailability or Misconfiguration
The Cluster Synchronization Services (CSS) daemon, critical for cluster node discovery and communication, is either down, unresponsive, or incorrectly configured on one or more nodes.
Oracle Registry Corruption or Incorrect Entries
The Oracle Registry, part of Oracle Clusterware, may contain corrupted data or incorrect entries for host-to-node mappings, preventing ACFS from retrieving the necessary information.
Network Connectivity Issues
Underlying network problems, such as incorrect network configuration or firewalls, are preventing communication between cluster nodes or with the CSS daemon, hindering host resolution.
