<tt>Sorry for all the questions .. , as always I appreciate any of the
input you can provide <span class="moz-smiley-s1"><span> :-) </span></span><br>
<br>
<br>
After some Monkeying around I got to where I can install the UEK Kernel
on Centos/RHEL (Unbreakable 5.5) systems by running ...<br>
<br>
<b>On a Unbreakable Linux (RHEL) 5.5 Servers</b><br>
<br>
<i>yum --disableexcludes=all --disablerepo base --disablerepo updates
--enablerepo el5_u5_base --enablerepo ol5_u5_base install kernel<br>
</i><br>
<b>On a Centos 5.5 Servers</b> <br>
<br>
<i>yum --disableexcludes=all --enablerepo el5_u5_base --enablerepo
ol5_u5_base install kernel</i><br>
<br>
So the questions: <br>
<br>
<b>1.- Once I do that I would install oracle-linux on the Unbreakable
Linux Servers via YUM and make sure I have installed
ocfs2-tools-1.6.3-2.el5 and ocfs2console-1.6.3-2.el5 on the Centos/RHEL
5.5 Servers <br>
Right ? <br>
</b><br>
<b>2.- Once I have 1.6 Installed can I simply use the existing OCFS2
Volumes formatted with 1.4.7 or do I have to reformat them with 1.6 ? <br>
</b><br>
<b>3.- If I want to use 1.4 I can just simply boot the old kernel,
Right ? Even if I formatted the volumes with 1.6 ? <br>
</b><br>
<b>4.- Is there a compatibility mode that can be enabled to have the
1.6 kernel Modules allow to talk to a server with 1.4 installed ? <br>
</b><br>
<br>
Please not that My "intention" with all this is to have me get to the
1.6 code to avoid hitting some of the issues existing with 1.4.7 <br>
<br>
<br>
Thanks !<br>
