In installing 10g\RAC we hit an issue that has been indentified as a bug with CRS where the cluster locking files cannot be implemented under OCFS. Supposedly they work fine when implemented as Raw Devices. We needed to reclaim some space from existing LUN's to create the raw devices as we had expected to able to put all Oracle related files under OCFS (Yes, we belived the hype). This

Hi all, i have the following configuration: RHAS 2.1 2.4.9-e.40enterprise #1 SMP (2 node cluster). ocfs-support-1.1.2-1 ocfs-tools-1.1.2-1 ocfs-2.4.9-e-enterprise-1.0.12-1 i followed the users guide to install and configure ocfs. During definition and formatting of ocfs-partitions the ocfstool crashed. Now restarting ocfstool fails with the following error: ocfstool Abnormal termination!

Hello again. I am setting up a new pair of servers to run RAC. They're connected via fibre-channel to a hardware RAID array, and both are able to see the exposed LUNs. When I create an OCFS filesystem on one node with mkfs.ocfs, I can mount it. When I try to mount from the other node, however, it fails. After that, the filesystem is left in a state where neither node can mount it. The

I've created a few OCFS filesystems (RHEL 3, OCFS 1.0.9-12) while attempting to assign ownership by oracle:dba. I've done this both with ocfstool and mkfs.ocfs. They both seem to accept the parameters, but the resulting filesystem is always owned by root:root. This is not a fatal problem, since we can just throw all of our Oracle files into a properly-owned subdirectory in each

What steps do I need to take to change a host's name? I modified the /etc/ocfs.conf file but ocfstool still reports the old name under the "Configured Nodes" tab. I'm also wondering where ocfstool stores the partition information that it shows under the device list. I dumped a couple ocfs partitions but they still show up in ocfstool. Thanks, Don

I am trying to mount the ocfs partitions using the following command Mount -t ocfs -o uid=oracle,gid=dba /dev/sda /ocfs01 as user oracle and group dba. However it mounts the volume as root. But if I use the ocfstool for the first and mount it as oracle:dba, the subsequent mounts using the above command line mounts the volume as oracle:dba. Is there something that I am missing or I will have

Had a problem starting Oracle after expanding an EMC Metalun. We get the following errors: >WARNING: OemInit2: Opened file(/oradata/dbf/quorum.dbf 8), tid = main:1024 file = oem.c, line = 491 {Sun Apr 17 10:33:41 2005 } >ERROR: ReadOthersDskInfo(): ReadFile(/oradata/dbf/quorum.dbf) failed(5) - (0) bytes read, tid = main:1024 file = oem.c, line = 1396 {Sun Apr 17 10:33:41 2005 }

Hi all! Doing my first steps with OCFS (1.0.9), I ran across a nifty little "feature".... We've been trying if DMP with QLogic 2300 HBAs works without having DMP activated (ok, blame on me...). ocfstool allows you to mount different partitions on the same mountpoint, but after we tried that, everything went to state "D" and we chose to reboot the whole cluster (4

Looking for any ideas where I need to look to fix this: I'm installing RHEL3 AS (update 4) on Dell PowerEdge 6850's. I've installed the hugemem kernels on these boxes and need to install and run ocfs. Kernel: ------- 2.4.21-27.0.4.ELhugemem Loaded the ocfs rpm's --------------------- # rpm -qa | grep ocfs ocfs-2.4.21-EL-smp-1.0.14-1 ocfs-support-1.1.5-1 ocfs-2.4.21-EL-1.0.14-1

(Yep, it's me again) We've worked around some minor glitches and now have a pair of nodes happily sharing an OCFS volume. I was wondering, though, if it was possible to configure a second private IP address so that the nodes could communicate over more than one Gigabit Ethernet connection. Our RAC books and online docs make some vague references to multiple interconnects, but I have yet

Hi, If I have ocfs on 2 nodes should I be able to do the following: t=0 Node A echo "1" > /ocfsmount/a Node B cat /ocfsmount/a >>>>Question 1: At this point should I see "1"? t=1 Node A echo "2" > /ocfsmount/a Node B cat /ocfsmount/a >>>>Question 2: At this point should I see

A few weeks back we opened a TAR with Oracle support to determine whether an OCFS (1.0.9-12) + async configuration was considered supportable. At first a technician said yes, but I followed up with Wim's explanation of how that combination is potentially troublesome and inadequately tested. The technician double-checked, then confirmed that OCFS + async is considered risky. He did say that a

I'm trying to compile ocfs 1.0.9 and when I execute ./configure I receive the following error msg: *** the gtk-config script installed by GTK could not be found *** If GTK wall installed in PREFIX, make sure PREFIX/bin is in *** your path, or set the GTK_CONFIG environmet variable to the *** full path to gtk-config configure: warning GTK+ not found, ocfstool will not be be built when I run

Hello again. Our production cluster has begun experiencing some vicious slowdowns that may (or may not) be related to the filesystems. When the problem occurs, the load average on the servers jumps up to 30 or higher. Usually one node will climb while the other drops, then they will switch places a few minutes later. At one point, we had one node's load average up over 300. Our site

Oh yeah - easy way to check, Randy: Next time your node hangs, get on the OTHER NODE and go into each directory where files are being opened (datafiles, archivelogs, controlefiles, redo logs, etc) and delete a file (you can create one first then delete it). If this causes the hung node to recover then you're having the same problem I was having. Jeremy >>> "Jeremy

Rsync people, Tell me if I'm wrong, but rsync seems to have a very serious race condition that would make it risky to transfer files into a directory writable by someone you don't trust if permissions are going to be granted to other people on those files. The rsync receiver creates a half-transferred file with 600 or 700 permissions; then the receiver writes the data and finalizes the

Greetings, Having read about the previous OSFS hangs, I think this one that we are seeing is different, but I'm not sure if this is caused by OCFS or the Linux OS. We are running OCFS Version 1.09 with Linux AS 3.0/9i RAC. We have a 2 node Intel Cluster (Node 1 and Node 2). This morning the DBA tried to do an "ls" command on /u06/oradata/database

Is the following statement still valid for either OCFS 1.0.9-12 or OCFS 1.0.11-1? The following is from one of the questions put forward by Derek Suzuki on Ocfs-users "A couple more minor questions about OCFS and RHEL3" > Next, I saw a Metalink thread which suggests that async I/O is not > supported on OCFS with RHAS 2.1. It doesn't say anything about RHEL3. > We've
