similar to: Expanding OCFS on EMC MetaLUN's

A couple years ago, we moved to Oracle RAC on Linux using ocfs that is SAN attached to an EMC CLARiiON. At the time, there was a reason that we did NOT use EMC's Powerpath (I just can't recall what that reason was). What I'd like to know is if there are any issues with introducing Powerpath now. * RHEL 2.1 AS * 2.4.9-e.38enterprise * ocfs-2.4.9-e-enterprise-1.0.13-1 * EMC

That should say below, we are using Powerpath on the CX300's AND the CX600's... ----------------------------------------------------------------------- We are using Powerpath with CX300's and Emulex HBA's, also with OCFS on Red Hat 2.1 AS. Kernel upgrades are the biggest issue that we have, as some of the drivers are dependent on modules built for specific kernels, and if your

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 }

Hello All. I'm working on building support for the Clariion range of standby power supplies. I've found you can get hold of these easily on ebay like: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/EMC-CLARiiON-Standby-Power-Supply-118031985- SPS-1000W-/160373295258 There is a problem that I haven't been able to work around. After 90 seconds without power, the device shuts down. This is because

I?ve an issue related to Oracle 10g RAC. I?ve 2 node cluster each being Dell 2850 Server with RHEL 4.0 I?ve EMC CX300 SAN storage with following partitions /orasoft 10 Gb OCFS2 File system /oracrs 2 Gb OCFS2 File system /orabackup 100 Gb OCFS2 File system The datafiles are on ASM which is not directly visible in OS.

Hi, We had received a new EMC storage (Clariion CX4) and the EMC analist has told us that CentOS aren't on their support list, but RHEL are :) Well anybody on the list has a CentOS host talking (iSCSI) with an EMC storage, preferably using the EMC Powerpath software, and can talk about you experience? Or I will need to buy some REHL licenses ? I'll put my hands on it only next

I used this command to create volume label on OCFS: mkfs.ocfs -F -b 128 -L data13 -m /oradata/data13 -u oracle -g dba -p 0775 /dev/emcpowerp1 emcpowerp is composed of /dev/sdad and /dev/sdk. It seems the above command created the same labels for /dev/emcpowerp1, /dev/sdad1 and /dev/sdk1. But when I tried to mount this ocfs filesystem by label, it gave me the following error. # mount -L data13

Is anyone using CentOS 4.4 with an EMC Clariion SAN? In particular, I want to know if PowerPath and Naviagent will work on a CentOS 4 system connected to a san using Qlogic or Emulex cards. I tried a couple years ago with Fedora Core 1 or 2, and couldn't get the kernel modules from PowerPath to work since the kernel wasn't the official RHEL one. I'm most interested in

I've tried several times to resize one of my ocfs volumes[see emcpowere1 below] I'm on the latest [prod] version of ocfs/ocfs-tools as of 3pm EST on 18JUL04. Per instructions... Take down db, unmount all ocfs drives, use ' tuneocfs -F -S 100G /dev/emcpowere1 ' Supposedly this should work, but I get get.... The size specified, 100G, is larger than the device size, 59G. Aborting.

Dear Experts, One of our client wants to use OCFS for their 9i RAC(2 node) on RHEL3 and also use GFS on the nodes. Would there be any issues using OCFS for Oracle 9i RAC and using GFS for failing over things like print services on the same node? Has this been tested? I know these are competing products and OCFS 2.0is not an option now for the client. They need GFS for their custom apps. Any ideas

Wim, Thanks for your prompt response on this. The tpmC figures look very impressive, and tpmC is read intensive. I had already read note 236679.1 "Comparing Performance Between RAW IO vs OCFS vs EXT2/3" which I guess is the article to which you are referring; it made me suspect that the poor performance was due to the lack of an OS IO cache but I wasn't sure. The database is

Hi, I am trying to install Oracle 9i RAC on SLES 8 SP3 with a shared firewire disk. I am using the following OCFS: OCFS Release 1.0.11-1 for suse sp3 2.4.21-138 smp kernel ocfs-2.4.21-138-smp-1.0.11-1.i586.rpm ocfs-tools-1.0.10-1.i386.rpm ocfs-support-1.0.10-1.i386.rpm 1/ I have configured OCFS and a shared file system /opt/oracle/oradata 2/ I have created a raw device for use as quorum

Hi, is it possible and safe to use more than one RAC-Cluster using OCFS in the same LAN? I'm considering to following setup: a 2-node production and a 2-node test system, the production data is stored in an EMC Symmetrix and for the test-system the production data is copied once to a BCV disk internally. This will give me an new independant copy of the production disk with the same contents,

Hi, Before I describe the problem, I'll describe my environment. This is a development environment built over 1.5 yrs ago: * We have a 2 node Oracle RAC Cluster. * built on two Dell PowerEdge 1850 Servers (Intel(R) Xeon(TM) CPU 3.20GHz) * OS is RHEL3 U3 * Kernel 2.4.21-20.ELsmp * these 2 servers are attached to an EMC AX100 SAN via fibre channel * HBA (QLogic QLA6312 PCI to Fibre

I was curious if someone on this list has performance numbers with and without PowerPath 3.0.3 on RH AS 2.1 Oracle 9i RAC systems with OCFS. I know that there were some concerns with PowerPath intercepting IO's and slowing performance related to OCFS. Appreciate your feedback. Raj
