similar to: H(U): A few OCFS questions

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

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

hi list, i have a little problem with 2-node RAC using OCFS. the application running on this cluster does heavily index-based accesses. the data volumes are SAN volumes connected by fibrechannel. the throughput does not exceed 10mb/s, average is 7-8 mb/s. i've used 'iostat -x' and got rkB/s=8000 while %util=100% (device was saturated) from kernel's POV. i did some

Hi Bharat/Philip, I haven't tested it yet. My systems are running RHAS 2.1. I'll come back to let you now the outcome.

Wim, Below are two problems I found in testing the newly released ocfs version. Just for your information. Gr, Robert. - Copying of multiple files gives errors [oracle@prac01 test]$ cp --o_direct -R ./a2/* ./backup/a2/. cp: writing `./backup/a2/./ccdata.dbf.bck': Invalid argument cp: writing `./backup/a2/./ccindex.dbf': Invalid argument cp: writing `./backup/a2/./control02.ctl':

Hello All We currently use rsync for various jobs at our company. We are now looking at using it to create an offsite synchronized copy of an Oracle 10g RAC archive logs area. The source area is on Oracle OCFS file system. The OCFS filesystem requires all reads/writes to be performed with the O_DIRECT option, thus bypassing cache. Oracle provide an updated coreutils package which includes the

Hi, We are currently rolling over our SAN (FC4700 to CX700) and have now reached the data migration stage. I need to move the data files on my current /u01 ocfs file system (on FC4700) to a new ocfs file system (on CX700) which I want to keep as the same /u01 mount point on the hosts. With a normal file system I would just mount the new file system to a temporary mount point, copy the data,

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, we have a 2 node / 3 node RAC installation with OCFS. We have the following observations. 1. TIME STAMP Issue We have noticed that the time stamp which is shown on the datafiles doesnt remain the same even after a shutdown normal /shutdown immediate i.e If I shutdown all RAC instances ( A , B , C) using shutdown normal / immediate, the timestamp on the datafiles are not the same. Even

Hi Sunil, I'm looking into this thread now. Does this mean we cannot use FTP option to copy OCFS files to ext3? If so, is there any ftp version available for OCFS, similar to cp --o_direct? Also, is there any version of sync available for OCFS (in normal FS, sync does a refresh of FS from kernel cache so that the FS is consistent). By this can we say that the FS shard by both nodes is

Hello list users. I am trying to create an ocfs filesystem but when I execute the command says the following thing to me: rac01:~ # mkfs.ocfs -b 128 -g oinstall -u oracle -L ocfs_pruebas -m /opt/oracle/oradata/OCFS -p 755 /dev/sdf1 Error opening device /dev/raw/raw41. Not a directory But it isn't a raw device. Any one know why it search for a raw device ? Thanks <DIV><FONT

Hi, we have installed ocfs2 on Rhat 4. It is being used as a general clustered file system. There are no oracle binaries or datafiles on the ocfs volume. So no need for RMAN or oarcle agents etc etc. The customer would like to backup the volume using arcserve. However CA are saying that they cannot backup from an ocfs volume. Has anyone out there got any words of wisdom about backing up

Hi, Experts. I'm Kenichiro Ochi, the support engineer of Oracle Japan. I would like to ask you the following questions about supported files on OCFS. I know OCFS VER 1.X only supports Oracle datafiles (including archive logfiles). My customer has one question. - Is it supported that archive logfiles on OCFS are compressed (using compress, gzip command etc) ? In other words, is it

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

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

Hi all, This is Takahiro from Japan. I want to confirm whether dump command can be used (supported) on Linux OCFS or not. I mean, I want to know we can specify in 5th place except for '0' in /etc/fstab. [/etc/fstab] /dev/sdb1 /data ocfs _netdev 0 0 === Any information is helpful for me.
