I have inherited an Oracle system which we have installed on a client site with the specs below. There was a kernel upgrade done by the patch management team at their site which broke the cluster. Once the kernel was reverted the system came back up. Am somewhat of a newbie to ocfs, etc and am trying to verify something. To do a kernel upgrade the ocfs2 (CRS) and ASM would have to be upgraded also and would the HBA drivers need to be as well. Any info would be greatly appreciated. If this is not the appropriate site could someone please recommend one.

The ocfs2 and asm kernel drivers need to match the kernel version. If you have booted the box with the new kernel, do the following to learn package name you have to download and install. # echo ocfs2-`uname -r`-1.2.X-X.el4 # echo oracleasm-`uname -r`-2.0.X-1.el4 Then goto the sites and download the appropriate package. http://oss.oracle.com/projects/ocfs2/files/RedHat/RHEL4/ http://www.oracle.com/technology/software/tech/linux/asmlib/rhel4.html For more, refer to the docs. http://oss.oracle.com/projects/ocfs2/ http://www.oracle.com/technology/tech/linux/asmlib/index.html The HBA driver is typically installed with the kernel.
