[Oracleasm-users] Installing ASMLIB on RHEL3.0

[Irshad Buchh]

Hi,

We created 4 raw partitions /dev/raw/raw1 - 4 using raw command.

[root at rcdell root]# ls -l /dev/raw/raw[1,2,3,4]
crw-rw----    1 oracle   dba      162,   1 Sep  9 11:05 /dev/raw/raw1
crw-rw----    1 oracle   dba      162,   2 Sep  9 11:05 /dev/raw/raw2
crw-rw----    1 oracle   dba      162,   3 Sep  9 11:05 /dev/raw/raw3
crw-rw----    1 oracle   dba      162,   4 Sep  9 11:05 /dev/raw/raw4

then tried this:

SYS   at +ASM on 29-DEC-04 >create diskgroup dg1 normal redundancy
  2  failgroup c1 disk '/dev/raw/raw1'
  3  failgroup c2 disk '/dev/raw/raw2';
create diskgroup dg1 normal redundancy
*
ERROR at line 1:

What does this error mean.

	What kernel do you have?  Specifically, what does 'uname -r'
return?  Your kernel must match the naming conventions of RHEL 3.0
kernels.  Did you build your own kernel?
