Applies to:
Oracle Server - Enterprise Edition - Version: 10.2.0.1 to 10.2.0.4Information in this document applies to any platform.
Goal
The purpose of this document is to provide a simple workaround for removing a database from OCR using srvctl command after its ORACLE_HOME has already been deleted physically. In this case, "srvctl remove database -d DBNAME" gets error: PRKH-1013:PRKH-1013 : The oracle home /app/oracle/product/RAC/10.2 does not exist.
Solution
1. Create ORACLE_HOME and bin directory with the deleted ORACLE_HOME name as oracle software owner user
$ mkdir <$ORACLE_HOME>
$ mkdir <$ORACLE_HOME>/bin
2. Create oracle executable file with touch command
$ touch $ORACLE_HOME/bin/oracle
3. Remove database from OCR:
$ srvctl remove database -d
