Hi... I have a strange problem with my Private NIC Channel, here is my environment details : 1. RHAS 2.1 with kernel 2.4.9-e.27 Enterprise 2. OCFS version : 2.4.9-e-enterprise-1.0.9-6 3.

Hello, I want to use ocfs for a 10g RAC installation on a 2 node cluster, consisting of 1 Athlon and 1 Pentium machine with Firewire storage. OS is RHAS 3. Since I need to build my own binary Athlon rpm's, I downloaded ocfs-1.0.12.tar.gz ocfs-tools-1.0.10.tar.gz I was able to install both (./configure ; make - make install). When I try to load_ocfs I get lots of errors

I successfully have OCFS running in a two-node RAC environment using RHAS 3 (2.4.21-4.EL) using Qlogic 2310 cards. IO performance, however, was terrible with the combination of OCFS and the Qlogic cards. After extensive testing, OCFS did fine on its own, as did the fibre cards. Put the two together, and everything literally ran twice as slow. Support at Qlogic pointed me to

Dear All... I need some information regarding OCFS performance in my Linux Box, herewith is my environment details : 1. We are using RHAS 2.1 with kernel 2.4.9-e.27 Enterprise 2.

Can I run OCFS on Windows? We have OCFS running on RHAS 2.1 and have some customers asking about clustering on windows servers instead of linux. Are there some docs I can refer to?

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

Hi all Just need some ideas, is there any consideration if I collaborate OCFS + RHAS2.1 + RHAS 3.0 ( with 64bit Processor) in a RAC environment with 10 nodes. TIA Jeram

Hi all... I have a strange problem. 2 of my mount points already use 7% of space, even when I check the directory is empty. When I re-format it, it release the space for a while, after 1 or 2 days, the space is used again for 7% - 10 %. What could be the reason? I am using RHAS 2.1 Enterprise Kernel 2.1 and OCFS release 1.0.9-6 Thanks Jeram

Hi, I'm new to the list, so forgive me if I'm asking several naive questions that have been answered a dozen times before. I have RHAS with kernel version 2.4.9-e.10smp, running ocfs-support-1.0-2, ocfs-tools-1.0-2, ocfs-2.4.9-e.10-smp-1.0-2. I have Oracle 9iR2 RAC up and running on an IBM fiber channel architecture. I find it to be extremely slow compared to other stand alone

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

Dear all... Currently I am having 5 RAC nodes with Configurations as below : 1. HW = DL580 32 Bit Processor 2. OS = RHAS 2.1 3. OCFS= Latest Version 4. RAC= Oracle9i 9.2.0.5 (32 Bit) Now I am planning to add 2 more Rac Nodes in the existing RAC: 1. HW=Itanium 64 bit processor 2. OS=RHAS 3.0 3. OCFS=Latest Version 4. RAC=Oracle9i 9.2.0.5 (32 bit) Can I

>also - for async io ; >p2448994_9204_LINUX.zip is the patch to apply for oracle >(this is metalink ARU patch number). Wim, The patch description on Metalink says: DIRECT IO SUPPORT ON EXT2 FILESYSTEM Which wasn't quite what I was expecting.

Sort of a followup... We've been running OCFS in sync mode for a little over a month now, and it has worked reasonably well. Performance is still a bit spotty, but we're told that the next kernel update for RHEL3 should improve the situation. We might eventually move to Polyserve's cluster filesystem for its multipathing capability and potentially better performance, but at least we

Oracle appears to have Wim chained in the basement, forced to answer mailing list questions at all hours. I do appreciate it. Our cluster has been stable since we installed RAC, but a few minor issues have me concerned. First, our storage array seems to maintain continuous low-level activity even when the database is shut down. The CPUs spend a modest amount of time in iowait state while this

Hi all, Sorry to break in, but I find this thread a bit interesting. Jeram: I'm not very familiar with HP storage and cannot find too much info on the EVA 6000 array. Is it related to the EVA 5000 somehow, or is it a NAS array? In any case, how is the array configured. If the algorithm for hartbeat is as described earlier (36 sector reads and one write per second (per host???)) then you

I'm trying to install ocfs using RHAS 2.1 uniprocessor kernel on a vmware gsx server 3.0 virtual machine and I'm getting the unresolved symbols error when I try to start ocfs.

OCFS Experts, Sorry if the questions below are naive, or were answered before, but here it goes. I have a potential client who at the moment having problems installing 10g RAC on RHEL 3.0 (2.4.21-20). They using (rather planning to use) OCFS for everything, including CRS files (OCR, voting). Questions: 1) They use custom kernel (modified by their security people). Do we support OCFS on the

I am still having this weird problem with nodes hanging while I'm running OCFS. I'm using OCFS 1.0.9-12 and RHAS 2.1 I've been working on tracking it down and here's what I've got so far: 1. I create a file from node 0. This succeeds; I can /bin/cat the file, append, edit, or whatever. 2. From node 1, I do an operation that accesses the DirNode (e.g. /bin/ls) 3. Node 0
