Hey Bill,

You are correct. The permissions were not correct. The oracle user had
rwx but was not in the group ownership of the actual device. Once we got
that fixed and modified the init scripts to change the ownership on
reboot, the install when fine (until running root.sh where we had
another problem...). 

Thanks for all of the help guys!

Todd

Todd,

Check the ownership on your raw devices. In order for the install to
work ownership must be oracle:oinstall, or oracle:dba if you haven't
created the oinstall group. If it is root:root then the installer will
fail. I believe that is the error I saw prior to realizing the correct
setting of ownership.

Thanks.

Subject: 10g RAC Install with Raw Devices

Hey Guys,

I am doing a RAC install on an x86_64 RH4 box. We are using 10.2.0.1 and
raw devices. The SAN is a MSA 1500. The issue that I am having is during
the Cluster install. The installer is complaining that all nodes can't
see the raw device location that I point it to for the OCR. I can dd
from all nodes to the device. Has anyone seen this before? Does anyone
know what test Oracle is using to determine connectivity? Are there any
other options that I should try before creating an SR?

hostName = grid0.hprsn.com

SEVERE: The location /dev/sda2/, entered for the Oracle Cluster Registry
(OCR) is not shared across all the nodes in the cluster. Specify a
shared raw partition or cluster file system file that is visible by the
same name on all nodes of the cluster.

Thanks!

Todd
