Collect Diagnostic Data in 11gR2 RAC Using DiagCollection.pl Script.

All the log files related to clusterware processes can be found in the "$GRID_HOME/logs"
directory. So, if there is some problem with the clusterware you could check
all the log files in the directory.


But mining data from all the log files is difficult. So, in order
to ease of this difficulty in 11gR2 you can use the "diagcollection.pl"
script to collect diagnostic data.

Run the diagcollection.pl script as the root user to collect diagnostic information 
from an Oracle Clusterware installation. The diagnostics provide additional information
so that Oracle Support Services can resolve problems. Run this script from the 
operating system prompt as follows, where CRS_home is the home directory of your Oracle 
Clusterware installation:

# Invoke this utility as the root user.
# CRS_home/bin/diagcollection.pl --collect

[root@rac1 ~]# /u01/app/11.2.0/grid/bin/diagcollection.pl --collect

The following CRS diagnostic archives will be created in the local directory.
crsData_rac1_20130206_0017.tar.gz -> logs,traces and cores from CRS home. 
Note: core files will be packaged only with the --core option.
ocrData_rac1_20130206_0017.tar.gz -> ocrdump, ocrcheck etc
coreData_rac1_20130206_0017.tar.gz -> contents of CRS core files in text format

osData_rac1_20130206_0017.tar.gz -> logs from Operating System
