siebel Failed to start Core Services, Failed to create watchdog termination file

This can occur when sourcing the siebenv.sh as root then later trying as the installation user:

See this content in the original post

It may be best to reboot the VM prior to doing the steps below.

  1. Backup the regss15: files in the /tmp directory, Example:

    cd /tmp
    mv regss15:123483357904896 regss15:123483357904896.bak
    mv regss15:123483357904896.pid regss15:123483357904896.pid.bak
    
    
  2. Login as root, change the ownership of watchdog.keepalive (or just do the entire directory)

    cd /u01/app/ses/siebsrvr/mw/.mw/core_data/devtwosblsrvr/
    chown -R siebel:sgroup .
    
    
  3. Try to source siebenv.sh again as oracle

    [siebel@devtwo siebsrvr]# . ./siebenv.sh
