[Ocfs2-users] Info on Version Upgrade

[Martin Eddy]

I hope this question can be posted here, if not I do apologize.

I have inherited a Production system running at a client site. It is a 
RAC system 2 cluster node presently running on an HP EVA 8000 with

    * Oracle 10.2.0.3
    * Redhat 4.5 Kernel 2.6.9-55(updates to 4.8 kernel remains at 2.6.9-55)
    * OCFS2
          o OCFS2-tools-1.2.7-1.e14.i386
          o OCFS2console-1.2.7-e14.i386
          o OCFS2-2.6.9-55.ELsmp-1.2.8-2.e14.i386
    * ASM
          o oracelasm-support-2.0.3-1.i386
          o oracleasm-2.6.9-55.ELsmp-2.0.3-1.i386
          o oracleasmlib-2.0.2-1.i386


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.
Any additional info needed please do not hesitate to ask.


Thanks
