similar to: OCFS write/read across 2 nodes

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 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

Hi, Irecently setup a Oracle 10g RAC test environment with two HP/Compaq DL380s and a shared disk array. The array is presented as a single 136GB disk. The systems are running RedHat AS 3.0 Update 4. OCFS 1.0.13-PROD1 build: 5e87201061935f464cf6541c56eb2827 Oracle 10g 10.1.0.3.0 I was able to get everything working, had a database created and running an instance on each system. The

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!

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

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

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

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

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

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

Had a problem starting Oracle after expanding an EMC Metalun.

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

Hi, I'm setting up ocfs on opensuse 10.3 with kernel 2.6.22.5-31 . Appreciate if you could guide on the solution to this error.

Running database in ASYNC mode in RHEL 3 has a potential risk of redo logs failure due to some short io's. A note from http://oss.oracle.com/projects/ocfs/dist/files/RedHat/RHEL3/i386/README.txt says that the above mentioned problem is fixed in OCFS 1.0.9-12 "RELEASE 1.0.9-12 Fixes a potential corruption with large, aligned, direct I/Os, for example Oracle redo logs or direct path SQL

We're using RMAN to back up our 9.2 RAC database to an OCFS v1 volume. We have an existing shell script that we use for copying files from disk to tape via tar, one file at a time. (Don't ask why. It's a legacy script. Long story.) We're tweaking this script to use --o_direct when tarring the file to tape and that seems to be working fine: # tape device is /dev/nst0 $ tar

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

We finally seem to have worked most of the kinks out of our OCFS/RAC setup, and are running a mass import to clone our production database for testing. While this has been going on, I fired up ocfstool to check out the states of the various shared volumes. In several cases, I saw (in the File Listing tab) multiple entries for some directories and files at the filesystem root. The duplicate

Another question. When my database is running, I do [oracle@LNCSTRTLDB03 LPTE3]$ cp --o_direct xdb01.dbf /tmp cp: cannot open `xdb01.dbf' for reading: Permission denied [oracle@LNCSTRTLDB03 LPTE3]$ When the database is shudown it works. Is this normal for ocfs because with any other filesystem I can just copy a file at any time (Its only a testing, I know I cant copy datafiles and have
