Hello ALL,
My environment is Fedora 7 (kernel 2.6.22.5-76.fc7) and I have oracle 10g (v 10.2.0.1 32bit) installed.
I have 03 disks installed. They are:
/dev/sda
/dev/sdb (unused)
/dev/sdc (unused)
The device /dev/sda is being used by Fedora7.
The other 2 devices ("b" and "c") I want use them as ASM. They are not partitioned yet. Just visible to fedora when "fdisk -l" command is issued.
To make them available as ASM disks... I want to download the utilities:
==> oracleasm-support
==> oracleasmlib
==> oracleasm
As oracle does not support Fedora7... how can I go on? I mean, how can I get oracleasm/oracleasmlib/oracleasm-support? No way?
Well... if ASM is not possible with Fedora7... any suggestion to implement shared disk architecture? Should I use OCFS2? Is it possible on Fedora7? I guess it is the same case as ASM (no way to download version to F7).
No way for Fedora7...(to create shared disk architecture)?
Also, on oracle site I saw ASMLib source to download and compile. A debian linux user has already tried to compile with errors. The bug is still in open status. And Oracle says at this site/page that oracle provide support only for rpm created by oracle.
Thank you!

Hello ALL,
Just to share information with you.

As such ASMLib and/or OCFS are not really mandatory for having ASM...you can very well use the raw devices for creating diskgroups for ASM.
Thanks
Chandra
