OCFS2 for RAC

[reeshe]

Hi friends,

Im a new user of OCFS2 on Linux RHEL 4. The EMC storage engr. configured 250Gb /u04 OCFS2 for our RAC set up, which is shared by 2 nodes.
I tried to create a dir using > cd /u04 > mkdir oracle ....then it hangs up (freeze)
Is the command above allowed for OCFS2 file?

Can I mkdir /u01/prod/oracle to an ASM directory too?

Thanks a lot

Hi ...sorry dave I edited/corrected my post above to make it clearer.


Thanks

Thanks Dave,

But after a while its ok now....but I know it if it because the other node was shutdown.

Can you help me with this one pls....
I have an OCFS2 configured disk /dev/sdg1 ---> /u04 size 250G
I want to configure this disk to ASM using:

# /etc/init.d/oracleasm createdisk VOL1 /dev/sdg1

My question is can I still save other ordinary files on this volume?
As I understood ASM is used only for oracle datafiles and can be written only
using RMAN.
=========

I am confused about Clusterware and OCFS2 are there two
the same thing?

Please shed light.....thanks a lot

its either ocfs2 or ASM - not both on the same volume
