<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt;color:#31849B'>Dear Herbert,
Just to update you that I have done testing RHEL Upgrade from 5.3 to 5.8 with
OCFS2 and Oracle 11GR2 between two nodes in our local lab. It was successful.
The only I need to install OCFS2 rpm with is compatible with kernel 194 (ocfs2-2.6.18-194.el5-1.4.7-1.el5.x86_64.rpm).
Rest is all OK. This bring much confidence in me and now am going for same
activity on production server shortly.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class=MsoNormal>If by "Check File System" in step 5 you mean fsck,
you can't run fsck on one node while the other node has the filesystem
mounted. It may return inconsistencies, but those may just be due to the
other node making changes. If you are just going to try to mount the
filesystem, then that's fine. If you like, you can try mounting read-only
first, to avoid doing any damage. When it mounts fine read-only, you can
change it to read-write.<br>

Thanks,<br>
Herbert.<br>

There's no need to do anything to the filesystems. Later OCFS2 versions
are backward compatible with earlier versions. I'm not sure if there were
any new features introduced in the latest OCFS2 version for EL5, but I'm pretty
sure that all OCFS2 1.4.* versions have the same network protocol, so you can
do a rolling update (install on node 1, reboot, install on node 2, reboot)
without having to unmount the fs on all nodes first.<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>
Herbert.<br>

<p class=MsoNormal>First of all, why bother update to 5.5, when you can
update to 5.8? Many bugs have been fixed since 5.5. Do you really
want to run into those?<br>
<br>
OCFS2 and the kernel have to be upgraded at the same time. In other
words, you have to make sure you install both the kernel and the OCFS2 module
that goes with it at the same time, then you reboot into the new kernel with
the new OCFS2 module. The easiest thing to do is to just run yum update,
and let it update to the latest package versions, and then install the OCFS2
package for the kernel that got installed.<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>
Herbert.<br>
