[Firewire-users] external firewire for RAC

[Nga Nguyen]

Hi all,

I have 2 linux boxes kernel 2.6.18-53.el5.
I would like to use external firewire hard drive (Firewire hard drive
is Maxtor onetouch II
) for RAC.
I added /etc/modprobe.conf file:
options sbp2 exclusive_login=0
One box can access to external firewire drive, but the second box
can't access to it.
When server reboot, second box didn't modprobe firewire_core,
firewire_sbp2 and sbp2. I manually modprobed them and run command cat
/proc/scsi/scsi but there aren't output from the firewire hard drive

Could you please help?

Please read information from the output below

[root at linux1 ~]# lsmod|egrep "ohci1394|sbp2|sd_mod|ieee1394" (after modprobed)
firewire_sbp2          16453  0
