[Firewire-users] Firewire shared drive detection failure

[Bertram Moshier]

 JP,

 

I'm using a similar system but am not as far along as you are, though, in
setting it up.

 

I have two nodes: OracleRAC001 and OracleRAC002 running Red Hat Enterprise 4
WS 2.6.9-55.ELsmp.  The hardware is two Dell Precision 390 systems dual core
@ 1.86 GHz and 4 GB RAM.

 

I'm also using the external Maxtor One Touch III 500 GB drives.  The
difference between our disk sub-systems is I'm using a SIIG card with a
Texas Instruments TSB82AA2 IEEE-1394b chip set and I'm using 9-9-pin
Firewire 800 cables.

 

2.6.9-55.ELsmp came with its own Firewire module but it doesn't seem to
recognize the "options sbp2 exclusive_login=0" command in the modprobe.conf
file.

 

While I'm able to access the One Touch III drive, like you it is only from
one system.

hi All,
I m configuring Oracle 10g RAC on Linux in External Shared drive.
I have 2 nodes linux1 and linux2, OS is RHEL 4AS kernel version is
2.6.9-42.0.3.EL
The problem i m facing is that i am unable to detect the Shared drive on the
two nodes simultaneously. 
Only one node can detect and access Shared drive.
The configuration i m using is:
Maxtor One Touch III kit: T35G500, 500 GB shared drive
Adaptect FireConnect 4300 firewire Card on each node.
6-to-6 pin firewire/1394 cable to connect the firewirecard to external
shared drive 
each Node is:
Intel PIV, 512 MB RAM, 40 GB HDD, RHEL 4 AS kernel version
2.6.9-42.0.3.EL(upgraded)
and corresponding Firewire Module
