Failed checking the shared storage accessibility using the cluvfy command as pre-installation step before installing RAC
<pre>Example:</pre>
<pre>$/cluvfy comp ssa -n all -s /dev/vgdata01/ -verbose<br><em>Verifying shared storage accessibility<br>Checking shared storage accessibility...<br>ERROR: /dev/vgdata01/<br>Storage operation failed.<br>Shared storage check failed on nodes "noratdb3,noratdb2,noratdb1".<br>Verification of shared storage accessibility was unsuccessful on all the nodes.</em></pre>
<h2 class="awiz"><a name="CAUSE"></a>Cause</h2>
<p>Cluvfy currently does not work with devices other than scsi devices.</p>
<p>So devices like emc powerpath, volume groups etc will fail when checked using cluvfy for shared accessibility.</p>
<h2 class="awiz"><a name="FIX"></a>Solution</h2>
<p>No workaround as such.</p>
<p>Use manual methods of detecting shared devices.</p>

<br><br></ronis@earthlink.net></lfreitas34@yahoo.com><div>Harry,</div> <div> </div> <div> This tool fails here too if I put these "-c" and "-q" parameters for the storage checks. Even so RAC is installed and running. I would not pay much attention to this at this point. </div> <div> </div> <div> Also as far as I know these parameters are originaly intended to work with raw devices. It is a generic tool that run in all platforms and probably the developer did not pay much attention to OCFS2, which is specific on the Linux platform.</div> <div> </div> <div> That error on the VIP checking also is documented and you can ignore it at this point. But you probably will have a error in the end of the CRS install and in this case there is manual procedure that need to be done with vipca before you start to install the database.</div> <div> </div> <div>touch /ocfs2/ocr2 </div> <div>touch /ocfs2/vdisk1</div> <div> </div>
