similar to: Problems with OCFSTOOL after LUN Maintenance

We want to expand the LUN's on our SAN. I have expanded the LUN's, rebooted the hosts, now want the hosts to mount up the larger LUN, but they still see the original size. How risky is it to use tuneocfs to grow the filesystem after the expanded LUN is presented to the host? I was unable to find anything outside the man page for it. -------------- next part -------------- A non-text

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!

Specs: Oracle 9.2.0.4 OS is Redhat AS2.1 ocfs-2.4.9-e-summit-1.0.12-1 ocfs-tools-1.0.10-1 ocfs-support-1.0.10-1 ocfs-2.4.9-e-enterprise-1.0.12-1 Shared Storage: Dell/EMC CX600 naviagentcli-6.19.0.4.14-1.noarch.rpm PowerPath 4.4 My system was originally installed by Dell. Since then I've upgraded the OCFS and a few other pkgs. But ever since the beginning the ocfs drives mounted on boot.

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

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.

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

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

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, Experts. I'm Taisuke Gishi, the support engineer of Oracle Japan. I would like to ask you the following questions about OCFS. I think we can't extend OCFS partition ,is it correct ? If it is correct,is there technical subject that is made not to extend OCFS partition? I would be greatful if you could provide me with now and future condition. Thank you in advance for your attention.

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

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

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.

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

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

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

Hi All, We are in the early stages of an Oracle E-Business Suite implementation running RHEL and are looking at different storage options. For production we are looking at a 4-Node RAC/10-Node Application tier and a 2-Node RAC/2-Node App tier for test. We would like to use OCFS for both RACs and shared APPL_TOPs (an E-Business features that lets you share a single copy of application code

Hi all, do you know if there is a way at boot time do disable specific LUN's on a SCSI bus of a particular controller? I'm trying to write an udev rule, but it seems that the system ignores the "vendor" model/name of the controller... For example: I want to disable /dev/sdb; so I gather some information with udevinfo -a -p /sys/block/sdb and I try to use them to write
