CRS-2632: There are no more servers to try to place resource ‘resource_name’ on that would satisfy its placement policy

I just got this error from CRS while trying to start a database using srvctl. I find this error kind of missleading as the error doesn’t tell what is really happening with the resource.

I suggest you to manually check the logs of the resource. In this case it had to do with a cluster database that one of the instances was not able to start. I tried to start this instance manually and then I got the real error.

The instance was having a missconfiguration in the parameter file that prevented it from starting.

Hope this note will provide you a guidance while having this CRS-2632 error coming out from CRS.

Thanks,

Alfredo
