Good afternoon,
A small update for installation of firewire disk:
I am at the end of a RAC validation with Physical and Logical Dataguard controlled manually and with Grid Control.
I have downloaded, installed and configured OELinux 2.6.9-42.0.0.0.1.EL and Oracle on five single 2.5Ghz cpu i.e 32 bit boxes.
Two of which are reserved for RAC.
They each have an additional ethernet card and a Texas instruments firewire card. I have connected a Maxtor One touch 250GB firewire disk.
Install works perfectly - now.
Linux Install:
I have installed the latest OELinux 2.6.9-42.0.0.0.1.EL
I have then downloaded and installed: oracle-firewire-modules-2.6.9-42.0.3.EL-1286-1.i686.rpm <http://oss.oracle.com/projects/firewire/dist/files/RedHat/RHEL4/i386/oracle-firewire-modules-2.6.9-42.0.3.EL-1286-1.i686.rpm>
Firewire Driver Install:
It first installs in /lib/modules/2.6.9-42.0.3.EL/kernel/drivers/ieee1394.
This being normal.
I have copied the ieee1394 files into the
:
/lib/modules/2.6.9-42.0.0.0.1.EL/kernel/drivers/ieee1394 directory
cd /....../ieee1395
ls
ieee1394.ko ohci1394.ko pcilynx.ko raw1394.ko sbp2.ko
[root at lab1 ieee1394]# modprobe ohci1394
FATAL: Module ohci1394 not found.
[root at lab1 ieee1394]# pwd
/lib/modules/2.6.9-42.0.0.0.1.EL/kernel/drivers/ieee1394
[root at lab1 ieee1394]# ls
ieee1394.ko ohci1394.ko pcilynx.ko raw1394.ko sbp2.ko
[root at lab1 ieee1394]# modprobe -ltv $PWD ohci1394
insmod gave similar messages in the /var/log/messages
This then loads the modules and no complaints however /var/log/messages shows:
May 9 15:38:44 lab1 kernel: ohci1394: Unknown symbol hpsb_iso_wake
May 9 15:38:44 lab1 kernel: ohci1394: Unknown symbol hpsb_disable_irm
May 9 15:38:44 lab1 kernel: ohci1394: Unknown symbol hpsb_packet_received
May 9 15:38:44 lab1 kernel: ohci1394: Unknown symbol dma_prog_region_free
May 9 15:38:44 lab1 kernel: ohci1394: Unknown symbol hpsb_add_host
May 9 15:38:44 lab1 kernel: ohci1394: Unknown symbol dma_region_sync_for_device
System map update:
run the following
depmod -a ieee1394.ko;modprobe ieee1394
depmod -a ohci1394.ko;modprobe ohci1394
depmod -a pcilynx.ko;modprobe pcilynx
depmod -a raw1394.ko;modprobe raw1394
depmod -a sbp2.ko;modprobe sbp2
Fire wire disk is now visible:
I noted that fdisk -l now shows my disk.
After a little init 6 the dmesg shows :
ieee1394: sbp2: Maximum current logins supported: 3
Many Thanks for all you help
Kind regards
Peter

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.EL
I have then downloaded and installed: oracle-firewire-modules-2.6.9-42.0.3.EL-1286-1.i686.rpm <http://oss.oracle.com/projects/firewire/dist/files/RedHat/RHEL4/i386/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 found
At this stage I need some assistance as my device is obviously not seen.
Do you have any recommendations?
Kind regards
Peter
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: 4
ieee1394: sbp2: Number of active logins: 0
ieee1394: sbp2: Logged into SBP-2 device
ieee1394: Node 0-00:1023: Max speed [S400] - Max payload [2048]
Vendor: IBM-DJNA Model: -371800 Rev:
Type: Direct-Access ANSI SCSI revision: 06
SCSI device sda: 35239680 512-byte hdwr sectors (18043 MB)
sda: asking for cache data failed
sda: assuming drive cache: write through
sda: sda1
Attached 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.

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

Bruce
