[Oracleasm-users] oracleasm kernel drivers on SLES 11

[Peter Santos]

Joel,
    thanks for clearing this up. We are now installing Oracle 11gR2 on  
SLES 11 and are experiencing these
    same concerns.   I do have an additional question that you or  
someone on this list can help me answer and
    save me a few days of troubleshooting.

   When I installed SLES11, I get kernel 2.6.27.19.  I then did an  
online update to get the most current updates. This
   brought me to kernel  2.6.27.45-0.1-default  x86_64.

   Checking the oracleasm packages that come with the distro I see:

	dbs1:~ # rpm -qa | grep oracle
	oracleasm-kmp-default-2.0.5_2.6.27.19_5-7.6
	oracleasm-2.0.5-7.6

	dbs1:~ # uname -a
	Linux dbs1 2.6.27.45-0.1-default

   We've downloaded the 2 RPMs from oracle:

	oracleasm-support-2.1.3-1.SLE11.x86_64.rpm
	oracleasmlib-2.0.4-1.SLE11.x86_64.rpm

  My question is should I be concerned about mismatched versions or  
should this be expected to work?
  We will push forward, but if anyone has done this before and can  
foresee problems, I'd love to know about them.

thanks again.

-peter
