[Ocfs2-users] Issues with OCFS2 ( SPFILE and Control Files )
A... I saw it. Don't use long names. Mount OCFSv2 as /S01 or /s01, and set up place for files as /S01/something... As I remember, old Oracle's did not verify file system type for the daat dierctory but only for the first element in file path. (Can not garantee that it is YOUR issue, but I have this one). ----- Original Message ----- From: madhukar yedulapuram To: ocfs2-users@oss.oracle.com Sent: Monday, August 07, 2006 4:06 PM Subject: [Ocfs2-users] Issues with OCFS2 ( SPFILE and Control Files ) Dear All OCFS2 users, We are trying to implement 9i R2 RAC 64-bit on RH AS 4.3 x86_64 ( EM64T ) using OCFS2 and are running into the following problems.

Hi, I think this was a known DBCA issue. You must start dbca with some option to point the shared directory where to put the files.

MessageI saw interesting issue related to this. Oracle verified that file system is shared, and did it using FIRST name in the path. So, in your case, if /opt is not on OCFSv2, then it refuse to create RAC database on /opt/ocfs2_mount_point even if last one is shared file system. I saw it on some of 9i versions; solution was to mount ocfs as /s01 and use /s01/DB name in dbca ----- Original Message ----- From: Michael Daskalov To: ocfs2-users@oss.oracle.com Sent: Tuesday, August 08, 2006 3:25 AM Subject: RE: [Ocfs2-users] Issues with OCFS2 ( SPFILE and Control Files ) Hi, I think this was a known DBCA issue.
