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

[Michael Daskalov]

Hi,
I think this was a known DBCA issue.
You must start dbca with some option to point the shared directory where
to put the files.
 
As far as I remember it was something like
 
dbca -o Datafiles /opt/ocfs2_mount_point
 
HTH,

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
