RE: ocfs2/oracleasm on Red Hat 4

Karl, I guess you happened to check just at the time these files were being 
posted. They weren't there when I checked. Thanks,
Julio

For the ASM:
----------------

You can go to this link 
http://www.oracle.com/technology/tech/linux/asmlib/index.html
And see that the link for  Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4 AS was last updated last 
April 01
If you're on AMD64 / Intel em64t Architecture, You'll see these

Library and Tools

    * oracleasm-support-2.1.3-1.el4.x86_64.rpm
    * oracleasmlib-2.0.4-1.el4.x86_64.rpm

Drivers for kernel 2.6.9-89.EL

    * oracleasm-2.6.9-89.ELxenU-2.0.5-1.el4.x86_64.rpm
    * oracleasm-2.6.9-89.ELsmp-2.0.5-1.el4.x86_64.rpm
    * oracleasm-2.6.9-89.ELlargesmp-2.0.5-1.el4.x86_64.rpm
    * oracleasm-2.6.9-89.EL-debuginfo-2.0.5-1.el4.x86_64.rpm
    * oracleasm-2.6.9-89.EL-2.0.5-1.el4.x86_64.rpm

ASMlib issue can be solved by installing new driver or linking to the old kernel
  1) If there is an ASMLib driver for the new kernel version, install the new 
version and remove the old one. This is the best option
  2) If there is no ASMLib driver for the new kernel version, ASMLib can be 
linked to use the old kernel, this solution is based on oracleasm_debug_link 
usage Note:462618.1


For OCFS2:
-----------------

Go to this link 
http://oss.oracle.com/projects/ocfs2/files/RedHat/RHEL4/x86_64/1.2.9-1/ for the 
ocfs2 rpm (latest is 2.6.9-89.EL)
and this link 
http://oss.oracle.com/projects/ocfs2-tools/files/RedHat/RHEL4/x86_64/1.2.7-1/ 
for ocfs2console and ocfs2-tools



Also for your SAN environment, if you upgrade your kernel, definitely you'll 
have to download the appropriate powerpath (EMC) version for the new kernel. 
And other dependencies you'll have to check..
