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. - Maureen Dan Norris wrote:
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.DanOn Thu, Nov 20, 2008 at 3:08 PM, Maureen English <sxmte@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx <mailto:sxmte@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>> wrote: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. - Maureen ...still researching....
