Support for SLES9 seems to be pretty much lacking at the moment. The OCFS2 site [1] states OCFS2 is supported with SP2+. There actually does not exist a SP2+ for SLES9 (or should this rather read "will be supported in SP3" instead?). Latest RPMs that come with SLES9 SP2 are 0.99.14 which has critical known bugs and is unusable. Anybody got to compile current source on SLES9 x86_64?

Hello all, I am running SLES9 with the latest kernel patches (2.6.5-7.282-bigsmp) and ocfs2 version (1.2.1-SLES), I was wondering if anyone had any info on if the latest ocfs2 will be included in SLES anytime soon. Or how to get the patches from Novell. Thanks in advance! - Andy Andy Kipp Network Administrator Velcro USA Inc. 406 Brown Ave. Manchester, NH 03103 Phone: (603) 222-4844 Email:

Haven't really tried this yet, but I'm wondering what the direction is for official ocfs support on SLES9. Anyone know if there are plans to support OCFS 1.x on sles9 at some point? I know it's a 2.6 kernel instead of 2.4... thanks, Jeremy This message (including any attachments) contains confidential information intended for a specific individual(s) and purpose, and is protected

Greetings, I read from archive that OCFS is for kernel 2.6. which means RHAS4.0 is supported. However, I can't find the download for this version. Is the support official and where can I download it.

Hello, First, thanks to all the people who helped to license this software under the GPL. This is a very important piece of work for the Free Software in the Enterprise Market. Just a few newbie questions. We've been thinking about implmenting a mail cluster with a Fiber SAN (IBM DS-4000) and OCFSv2 as the storage backend. The information on this volume will essentially be Postfix Maildirs,

Hi list, today, I installed a two node Oracle 10g RAC system on SLES9 SP2 RC2 which shares (via a SAN) a database volume and a quorum (ocr and voting). This volumes are formated with ocfs2 - so far no problem. At the moment I'm stuck with the mounting of these volumes at boot time. The user-guide of ocfs2-tools mentions to add the corresponding lines to fstab - but at the time when fstab

hi, i am trying to install oracle rac on fedora core 6 through iscsi. when i try to mount, mount.ocfs2: Invalid argument while mounting /dev/mapper/rac-crs on /mnt/crs.

Hi, in the users guide for ocfs it mentions setting up async io on ocfs and the possible performance improvments. However in metalink note 225751.1 is states - Oracle Cluster File System (OCFS) Async I/O could work on OCFS 1.0.9-4 and higher for RedHat kernel e.24 and higher but It's not supported and should not be used So is it actually supported and the metalink note is wrong or should

Hi, We have a two node cluster running SLES 9 SP2 connecting directly to an EMC CX300 for storage. We are using OCFS(OCFS2 DLM 0.99.15-SLES) for the voting disk etc, and ASM for data files. The system has been running until last Friday when the whole cluster went down with the following error messages in the /var/log/messages files : rac1: Jul 7 14:56:23 rac1 kernel:

Is it possible to create a highly-available OCFS2 cluster (i.e., A storage cluster that mitigates the single point of failure [SPoF] created by storing an OCFS2 volume on a single LUN)? The OCFS2 Project Page makes this claim... > OCFS2 is a general-purpose shared-disk cluster file system for Linux capable of providing both high performance and high availability. ...but without backing-up

Hi, are there plans to make OCSFv1 available for linux kernel 2.6.x ? We would like to upgrade a RAC on SUSE SLES8 to SUSE SLES9. SLES9SP2 will support OCFSv2, but if I understand correctly OCFSv1 and OCFSv2 are not compatible and we have to copy all the DB files from one filesystem to the other. Thanks for your help. bye, Sumit __________________________________________________________ Mit

Hi All, Is there any one know if OCFS2 will be certified on RedHat AS3 or 2.1? On http://oss.oracle.com I see OCFS2 Beta is available for RHAS 4 only.

Hi, Sunil or Tao, I have a 4 nodes OCFS2 cluster running OCFS2 1.2.8 on SuSE 9 SP4. When I tried to do failover testing (shutting down one node), the whole cluster hung (I can not even login to any server in the cluster). I have to bring all of them up and then be able to use the system. What kind of behavior is it? Is it the fence of OCFS2? Below is my configuration. aopcer13:~ #

Can I create an OCFS 2 filesystem over a ASM volume to store datafiles? Thanks! Roger---

Hi all, My Ct's box is RH 3.0 SMP kernel EM64T. They are asking if OCFS for SMP (EM64T) is available or not. In following site, we can not see OCFS for SMP (EM64T). http://oss.oracle.com/projects/ocfs/files/RedHat/RHEL3/x86_64/1.0.14-1/ ---------- ocfs-2.4.21-EL-1.0.14-1.ia32e.rpm OCFS driver for kernel version 2.4.21-27.EL and higher (EM64T) ocfs-2.4.21-EL-1.0.14-1.src.rpm OCFS driver

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
