The above error is why its failing, but unfortunately this is pretty 
generic.  Something returned a status code 5, but from these logs theres 
no way to be sure what since the oracle agent does a number of things 
during the startup sequence.

Usually the best way to troubleshoot these issues is with rg_test, as it 
will be much more verbose.  First disable your service

   # clusvcadm -d serviceoracle

Now do

   # rg_test test /etc/cluster/cluster.conf start service serviceoracle

You should see it logging each operation and it will tell you where it 
failed.  If this doesn't point you to your answer then post the output 
here as well as your cluster.conf.

Also there are some good guidelines and basic steps for setting up an 
oracle service here:
