[Firewire-users] Drivers not picked up and Device not seen

[Bruce Carter]

Try insmod instead this will give you more information about errors.

Probably the rpm kernel version and your kernel version are not the same.

If that is the problem you can force the module to load and you will probably OK

Regards

  Subject: [Firewire-users] Drivers not picked up and Device not seen


  Good morning ,

   

  I am in the middle of a validation of RAC with logical and physical dataguard with Grid control.

  Standard db and data guard + manual setup is ok

  GC is now ok

  I am now on the RAC part - I am in the middle of configuring the firewire device for the shared disk.

   

   

   

  I have read the README and my queries are in line:

   

To use on Oracle Enterprise Linux 4: 1) Download a kernel module rpm. Make sure your down the right kernel module   for architecture (i386, x86_64), and processor configuation (UP or SMP). My RAC conf is 2 x Intel 32bit boxes, TI firewire cards and a Maxtor One Touch 250GB -  I have installed the latest OELinux 2.6.9-42.0.0.0.1.ELI have then downloaded and installed: oracle-firewire-modules-2.6.9-42.0.3.EL-1286-1.i686.rpm Currently up2date would not give me 42.0.3.I would also have to perform a manual apply as the machines are on an isolated network with no internet.  2) Install as follows, as user root:   rpm -ivh <filename.rpm> It installs drivers in /lib/modules/2.6.9-42.0.3.EL I have tried the infamous copy. I copied the files into the /lib/modules/2.6.9-42.0.0.0.1.EL directory. As such an ls shows the kernel/drivers/ieee1394 in my 42.0.0.0.1 kernel's directory structure. Although I still have no entry at boot in dmesg 3) Load the firewire modules:   modprobe ohci1394 ; modprobe sbp2 modprobe returns FATAL not foundAt this stage I need some assistance as my device is obviously not seen.Do you have any recommendations? Kind regardsPeter      You can also just reboot, hotplug should load the module automatically   for you.    This should load the firewire stack and detect the disk. The disk will be   shown as a scsi device,  /dev/sdXX, if you are unsure which device, the   dmesg command will show the detected disk. e.g.: ieee1394: sbp2: Maximum concurrent logins supported: 4ieee1394: sbp2: Number of active logins: 0ieee1394: sbp2: Logged into SBP-2 deviceieee1394: Node 0-00:1023: Max speed [S400] - Max payload [2048]  Vendor: IBM-DJNA  Model: -371800           Rev:  Type:   Direct-Access                      ANSI SCSI revision: 06SCSI device sda: 35239680 512-byte hdwr sectors (18043 MB)sda: asking for cache data failedsda: assuming drive cache: write through sda: sda1Attached scsi disk sda at scsi2, channel 0, id 0, lun 0 5) if you wish to use this setup for Oracle RAC, just follow the standard   documentation for RHEL4/EL4.
