Oracle database 11.2.0.3 installation error: PRVF-5300, PRKC-1032, PRCT-1406

When installing Oracle database 11.2.0.3 on a Solaris database server, got the following error:


Oracle Database 11g Release 2 Installer


An internal error occurred within cluster verification framework


ERRORMSG(DBSERVER): PRVF-5300: failed to retrieve active version for CRS on this node
PRKC-1032: Directory /fs01/oracle/product/11.2.0/gird does not exist
PRCT-1406: Oracle Home location: /fs01/oracle/product/11.2.0/gird does not contain bin/srvctl

Oracle Support has a note on this:
Installation of Standalone (Non-RAC) 11.2.0 Database fails with errors: PRVF-5300, PRKC-1033, PRCT-1406 [ID 1380126.1]

Symptoms

When installing standalone (non-RAC) Database 11.2.0 software, it's failing with errors similar to:

oracle.cluster.verification.VerificationException: An internal error occurred within cluster verification framework
..
PRVF-5300 : Failed to retrieve active version for CRS on this node
PRKC-1033 : Executable /u01/app/oracle/product/11.2.0/grid/bin/olsnodes does not exist
PRCT-1406 : Oracle Home location: /u01/app/oracle/product/11.2.0/grid does not contain bin/srvctl

Changes

11gR2 Grid Infrastructure was installed on the server at some point in the past, but was later removed.

Cause

11gR2 Grid Infrastructure was not completely removed / de-installed, resulting in the existence of one or both of the following Grid Infrastructure files:

/etc/ocr.loc
/etc/oracle/olr.loc

Solution

Because the Grid Infrastructure files /etc/ocr.loc and/or /etc/oracle/olr.loc exist, the installer assumes it to be a RAC installation and tries to check the active CRS Services on the Server.  Those checks will fail because Clusterware (Grid Infrastructure) is no longer installed.

To resolve this situation:

1. Backup the files /etc/ocr.loc and /etc/oracle/olr.loc, then rename / delete them.
2. Retry the standalone (non-RAC) Database 11.2.0 installation.
