CRS-4124: Oracle High Availability Services startup failed.

Some time ago I got the issue from below:

Running Oracle 11g root.sh script...
The following environment variables are set as:
ORACLE_OWNER= oracle
ORACLE_HOME= /u01/app/oracle/product/11.2.0/grid
Enter the full pathname of the local bin directory: [/usr/local/bin]:

ohasd failed to start: Inappropriate ioctl for device
ohasd failed to start: Inappropriate ioctl for device at /u01/app/oracle/product/11.2.0/grid/crs/install/roothas.pl line 296.

Some possible solutions could be:

1. Look at these 2 documents:
– OHASD Failed to Start: Inappropriate ioctl for device [ID1069182.1]
– How to Proceed from Failed 11gR2 Grid Infrastructure (CRS) Installation [ID 942166.1]

2. You will have to follow the steps where you monitor the /var/tmp/.oracle directory for the file creation and run the following command as root user as soon as the file exist:

/bin/dd if=/var/tmp/.oracle/npohasd of=/dev/null bs=1024 count=1

3. Be sure that you’re using the certified configurations. For instance, I got this error while I was using OEL6 and I was trying to install 11.2.0.4 Grid on it. When I realized, I have used 11.2.0.3 Grid version and all went smoothly.

If you have encountered other situations, please post them in the comments.
