    Hitachi SAN compatible with RAC ?

    CRS install has been failing on the raw partition from the Hitachi SAN. Hitachi has no internal people with RAC experience on their SAN and cannot come up with even one customer using RAC.

    Has anybody been successful with HDS-500 and RAC ?

    Thank you

    We've got a a 10gR1, 2-nodes RAC install on a Hitachi Thunder V9520 disk array and had no problem configuring the raw partitions.

    Did you follow the install guide religiously ?

    If so, first look up on metalink for your issue, and if you find nothing interesting, open a TAR with Oracle.

    You can also give us some more details about the error you are getting. Maybe someone will have experienced the exact same problem.

    BTW are you sure about the model ? I find nothing about a Hitachi "HDS-500" disk array...

    Regards,

    Thanks.

    I have an SR open with Oracle and am trying to involve Hitachi support.

    CRS install bombs during root.sh

    Code:

    have you run the cluster verification utility?

    CVU does not like the raw partitions. It says they are 'not shared'.

    However Oracle says that the CVU has trouble recognizing SAN partitions and to proceed with the install of CRS.

    Also I doubt very much its a shared problem. This root.sh cannot even run on the install node, let alone the other node. The errors are related to format and unexpected return code so I think the CVU is not helpful here.

    Oracle gave me a patch that allowed us to format the OCR and voting disk. Now the problem may just be I need to run root.sh on node1 or wipe both clean and start fresh.

    Devices formatted, now we need to get the CRS daemon up and running on both nodes..
