William, you've use ocfs as OCR storage or raw device? if use raw device you had to make sure raw device startup each time and owned by oracle user. check this for reference http://www.puschitz.com/InstallingOracle9iRAC.shtml#CreatingPartitionsForRawDevices btw: you can review your installation process follow the instruction here, http://www.puschitz.com/InstallingOracle10gRAC.shtml rgds, Dyno On 4/4/07, William Wagman <wjwagman@xxxxxxxxxxx> wrote:
Mladen, From the system adminstrator... I stopped the rawdevices service on both nodes, formatted /dev/emcpowera1 (which is the multipathed device underlying /dev/raw/raw1), and was able to mount it and write to it from both nodes. Seems like it works to me. I've unmounted that file system and restarted the rawdevices service. You can try your install again; perhaps there was some data lingering there from a previous installation which Oracle didn't like this time around. So there was something incorrect in the way the devices were configured. As to what, I don't know. Thank you for the catch.
