Well, I've got a working model which I'm not going to test at the moment.
Our current thinking is that since the raw device (/dev/raw/rawN) is a
virtualized device linked in to the underlying one (/dev/emcXXXX), perhaps
the kernal did not immediately pass the permissions down the line. Doing the
manual change to /dev/emcXXX and changing it back again gave it a kick to
apply the changes. If I see this again I'll try restarting the rawdevices
(/sbin/service rawdevices restart).

Subject: RAC installation conflagration
I'm working on a RAC installation (10.1.0.2) on RedHat LinuxAS3 with EMC
Clariion shared storage. The EMC devices have been linked to raw devices. I
can see them all if I run 'raw -qa'. They are also all entered in
/etc/sysconfig/rawdevices. The problem comes when I am trying to create the
Cluster Registry file in a raw device. What I get from OUI is a nondescript
error "An error occurred when trying to execute the query". The permissions
of the device are:
$ ls -l /dev/raw/rawN
Crw-rw---- 1 root oinstall /dev/raw/rawN
When I change the ownerships of the underlying EMC device (the one which was
linked to the raw device in /etc/sysconfig/rawdevices) from root:root (660)
to root:oinstall (660) everything works. Nowhere have I seen it mentioned to
change the settings of this device, so I am wary in heading in this
direction.
There is a little bit more information in the installActions.log
