oracleasm is not needed for RH4U1 and up, you simply install the RDBMS, patch to whaterver patchset you want, fire up dbca and create the ASM instance. Works as well for RAC. Also, check http://oss.oracle.com/osswiki/OCFS2/NewFeaturesList which has the documentation for OCFS2. and http://oss.oracle.com/projects/ocfs2/files/for the download files. See that there are files for both RH4 and RH5. hth Alan Bort Oracle Certified Professional On Tue, May 26, 2009 at 1:19 PM, QuijadaReina, Julio C < QuijadJC@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: > Hello All, > > I was doing some server updates and noticed that ocfs2 and oracleasm lib > are not available for Linux kernels higher than 2.6.9-78.0.22.
