Thanks for the Link. My configuration is exactly like it where both Dell
server are attached to the EMC through Fiber Channel. Each Dell server has two
HBA [ Second for failover]. I check the docuement refer by Site and can see all
partition on Server 1 but it is not visible on Server 2 in /proc/partitions
If we shutdown the server 1, then all partition are visible on Server2 as per
Sysadmin. I didn't check it byt sysadmin says that it is because of EMC
powerpath.
Any other side that shoudl be check or suggestion
TIA
Sanjay

It simply is a matter of putting both servers in one EMC Storage Group. You
will need to create a storage group with both servers and the LUN?s hat must be
shared.
If you are using switches, you must make sure they are zoned properly too.
Here is a link to a Dell area that specifically covers the requirements for
Oracle RAC on EMC.

Subject: Shared Disk Oracle RAC
Hi
I am working on Installing Oracle Clusterware software so that we can
replace the Veritas Clusters which is used for three applications. In the
current setup of Veritas Clusters, One of the Server is ACTIVE and so all Disk
are mounted on Active server. So if it failed to Offline server, all Veritas
Resource like Disk as well Oracle instance are mounted and started on second
server and it become active. Anyway this is the existing approach.
Now I had to install Oracle clusterware which need shared storage to create
OCR/Voting files and our Sysadmin has provided a QA environment where two Linuz
server are present and they are attached the HBA to the Shared EMC storage.
Storage is avaialble only on one server and one sysadmin says that it is not
possible to provide the shared storage on both server so that both can write to
each other. One of them says that it is possible but this is some EMC
configuration and so it has to go to EMC support. I am not sysadmin and so can
somebody give me some idea so that I can check with them. Sysadmin says that if
we stop the one of the server, then the space will be automatically visible on
other server but not the same time. Is there way I can tell them to check some
information in the configuration.
TIA
Sanjay
