Sounds like he was using RHEL3 anyway... I'm not familar with the 9i RAC setup, but I installed a 10g RAC that's= in production now. The only thing I use OCFS for is Cluster Registry, Dis= k Voting, and the Oracle Parameter File. All database nodes have access = to the same set of raw LUNs on the SAN managed via ASM (Automated Storage Management, a 10g feature) for keeping actual data on. You could just = put all your Oracle files/data on OCFS, but that's not the highest performa= nce solution. To have multiple nodes access a non-Oracle data on a clustered filesyst= em, go with GFS for sure, ie a normal POSIX complaint filesystem. OCFSv1 i= sn't POSIX complaint and only properly stores Oracle specific files, and tho= ugh OCFSv2 is meant to be a generic clustered filesystem, it's not producti= on ready like I mentioned before: http://oss.oracle.com/projects/ocfs2/ How you setup the RAID is completely different issue from how you clust= er your data among nodes. -ryan -----Original Message----- =46rom: linux-raid-owner@vger.kernel.org [mailto:linux-raid-owner@vger.kernel.org]On Behalf Of Lars Marowsky-Bre= e Sent: Thursday, April 28, 2005 8:07 AM To: miele@inwind.it Cc: jakob; linux-raid; mingo; bueso Subject: Re: Can you help me on Linux SW RAID?
