When we did try to upgrade we ran into kernel panics which got triggered by

<p class=MsoNormal>As far as ocfs2 is concerned, the current version of ocfs2
1.2<br>
is ocfs2 1.2.9. You will find the packages for your kernel on<br>
oss.oracle.com. The news section has the list of changes/bugs fixed.<br>
<br>
asmlib also has some updates. You can review the fixes to see<br>
whether an upgrade is warranted.<br>

For all other qs, ping Oracle support and/or Red Hat support.<br>

There was a kernel crash on the weekend and I suspect a request will be to
update the kernel. There has been talks around upgrading Oracle to 10.2.0.4 for
some time but the client has not been willing to move on it. I am looking for
some professional insight on what can be upgraded vs what should be
upgraded, just doing the OCFS2 and ASM vs both these as well as the RDBMS. Also
the HBA drivers would need to be upgraded. Any info or opinions would be
greatly appreciated.<br>
Any additional info needed please do not hesitate to ask.<br>
<br>
<br>
Thanks<br>
