SRVCTL add database fails with osdbagrp error

I ran into below issue when trying to add a manually created RAC db to CRS. The issue seems to be caused by missing SS_ASM_GRP in config.c. I cloned the Database oracle home of a single node DB to RAC oracle home, as i was trying to avoid applying oneoff patches required on top for Oracle E-Business Suite. This seems to have caused missing ASM group entry in config.c

You can fix it by following below action plan.


$ srvctl add database -d EBSDB -o /u01/app/11.2.0/ebs -p +EBS/spfileEBSDB.ora -c RAC -a EBS
