I don't think the client application can now about the underlying storage.... Also, ASM is not the same as "old" raw devices management. If you're not running other services with pacemaker/heatbeart, having another product to manage is probably not worth. I've installed OCFS2+heartbeat on SLES10-SP2, but it was not used for Oracle. On the other hand, we have a RAC+OCFS2 cluster on RHEL. We didn't have this kind of issues in any of the installations. If you really must, you can switch to userspace heartbeating, that would make heartbeat cluster manage the membership instead of o2cb( /etc/init.d/o2cb configure) Refs: http://www.oracle.com/technology/pub/articles/smiley_rac10g_install.html http://www.oracle.com/technology/tech/linux/install/iscsi-linux-rac-cluster-sles10.html Regards, -- Ciro Iriarte http://cyruspy.wordpress.com -- _______________________________________________ Linux-HA mailing list [email protected] http://lists.linux-ha.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-ha See also: http://linux-ha.org/ReportingProblems
