[Ocfs2-users] Issues with OCFS2 ( SPFILE and Control Files )

[Alexei_Roudnev]

A... I saw it.

Don't use long names.

Mount OCFSv2 as /S01 or /s01, and set up place for files as /S01/something...

As I remember, old Oracle's did not verify file system type for the daat dierctory but only for the first element in file path.

(Can not garantee that it is YOUR issue, but I have this one).

  Dear All OCFS2 users,

  We are trying to implement 9i R2 RAC  64-bit on RH AS 4.3 x86_64 ( EM64T ) using OCFS2 and are running into the following problems.

  When trying to create the database using DBCA ( Database Configuration Assistant ), the following issues are cropping up.

  dbca not recognizing OCFS2 storage type and complaining as below
  "stat for /opt/oracle/product/9.2.0/dbs/spfilerac3n.ora file failed
  The filename "/opt/oracle/product/9.2.0/dbs/spfilerac3n.ora" entered for the 
  persistent initialization parameters file (spfile) is not a valid raw device. 
  Please enter a valid raw device name with its full path"


  and also issues with control file as below.

  Raw device validation check for Control file "/u01/rac3/control01.ctl" failed, stat for   "/u01/rac3/control01.ctl" file failed.

  Does this mean that we have to use raw partitions for Control Files and SPFILE if we are using OCFS2. We need some advice and help immediately. We have been fighting with lot of issues with OCFS2 on RH AS 4.3 ( 64-bit Oracle on 64-bit OS ).

  Madhukar
