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, When attempting to restore to LINUX RHEL5 - OCFS2 filesystem received the following error during RMAN restore for nearly all of the datafiles attempted to restore with exception of a couple of smaller datafiles which were smaller < 2GB. ORA-19870: error reading backup piece /db/dumps/TR1_1/rmanbackup/TR1_88_1 ORA-19502: write error on file "/db/devices/db1/PR2/pr2_1/pr2.data1",

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

we started using an ocfs file system about 4 months ago as the shared archived redo destination for the 4-node rac instances (HP dl380, msa1000, RH AS 2.1) . last night we are seeing some weird behavior, and my guess is the inode directory in the file system is getting corrupted. I've always had a bad feeling about OCFS not being very robust at handling constant file creation and deletion

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

Does anybody knows if is there a certified procedure in to backup a RAC DB 10.2.0.3 based on OCFS2 , via split mirror or snaphots technology ? Using Linux LVM and OCFS2, does anybody knows if is possible to dinamically extend an OCFS filesystem, once the underlying LVM Volume has been extended ? Thanks in advance Riccardo Paganini

I currenlty have the setup below, both nodes can see the shared drive ( confirmed with fdisk -l ) However I am unable to mount the shared device from node (2) after I mounted from node(1) I get the follwoign error mount.ocfs2: Transport endpoint is not connected while mounting /dev/sdb1 on /u02/oradata/orcl OS Red Hat uname -r --------------------------------- 2.6.9-22.ELsmp OCFS version

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 everyone. Does anyone know why the user-space heartbeat (linux-ha) patches from SuSE / Novell are not commited to the mainline ocfs2 source tree? Or are they? Is there an easy way (which does not break the distros package management) to apply these? Thanks, Christian

Hello all, are there any issues concerning ocfs2 (v 1.2.3) and device-mapper-multipath-0.4.5-12.0.RHEL4? I've build a 4 node cluster with two ocfs2 mounts on /dev/dm-0 and /dev/dm-1. Under heavy load the nodes dies after about two minutes reproducably ;-(( Once I've loaded the ocfs2 modules it seems to me that both modules (device-mapper-multipath related as well as ocfs related) are

I am in the middle of rolling RHEL 4 update 5 ( 2.6.9-55) through my servers. We use a development, QA, and production rollout. Unfortunately I have ocfs members in each of these groups that need to share filesystems. The network compatibility issues between ocfs2 tools 1.2.4 and 1.2.5 are causing the members to not be able to operate with ocfs. Hence this breaks my systems or causes me to

I have installed OCFS2 on two nodes SuSE 10. Seems all works superb and nice from the first sight. But, /dev/sda ocfs2 rac1 is not sharing through net (port 7777) with rac0. On both nodes I have 500Mb /dev/sda disks that are mounted (and are ocfs2). But they did not share the content with each other (files and folders in it). So when I am creating the file in one node I am expecting to

Hello Ladies and Gents .. First time poster ..

I am working currently on cloning on a regular basis our production OCFS2 volumes to our test environment. For the database (Oracle 10G R2 RAC) we put it into backup mode, then execute a Snapclone on our 3Par SAN. Then we use RemoteCopy and SnapClone to our development 3Par SAN. To recover the OCFS2 volume I got through the following steps: Stop database umount /export/<volume name> Log

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Folks, quick question. In our current 3 node RAC cluster we have 2 ocfs2 volumes setup. We have a volume for sharing oracle CRS files (ocr.crs and vote.crs) and a 2nd volume is going to be used to store backups and archivelogs. We will copy backups and archivelogs via RMAN from the flash recovery area, onto this volume .. and eventually gets
