Dan,

Everything is the same, except that we don't have 'locally-installed OHs'.
The OH is on a shared filesystem.  However, when we moved it to a local
filesystem, my problem went away.

I've found a number of Metalink notes that discuss problems related to
the shared file system, so we're looking into other options, mainly just
what you have...locally-installed ORACLE_HOMEs on each node.

Thanks.

I've got a 6-node failover cluster using clusterware and don't have any issues creating DBs. We've decided to use locally-installed OHs on each node (managed through a single installer, just like RAC installs) and therefore, our OH isn't on shared storage. We're using OCFS2 for all the DB files and are able to DBCA-create a db directly on the OCFS2 filesystems.

Which part(s) of that are different for you?

BTW, this is on RHEL 4, 32-bit, RDBMS 10.2.0.4 <http://10.2.0.4> + CPU OCT08, clusterware 11.1.0.6 <http://11.1.0.6>, OCFS2.

    Thanks Jared.  Yes, I have been reading through many of the posts.

    I did find that if we moved the oracle installation to a local
    filesystem, I could create a database using our scripts.  That
    sort of defeats the purpose, though.
