Zhu,
- Not sure why these directories don't exist on the
second node. I have 9.2 RAC installed on AS2.1 and I
have all my directories. I actually do the install on
the individual nodes. I don't do the install on 1 node
and let Oracle copy the information over to the second
node.
- I do install everything except maybe Advanced
Security.
3.1 The raw device issue is a Linux problem. You also
can't exceed a maximum of 256 raw devices total. This
is do to the fact Linux only supports an 8 bit minor
number. Nothing you can do unless some changes the
Linux code. The other thing you can do is to create
lots of LUN's. You can create 14 slices per LUN. I am
using EMC so I just carved a whole bucnch of LUN's.
3.2 The LVM won't help you get more slices out of the
disk. I have not installed SISTINA on AS2.1 but I have
used it on SUSE 8.0 with no problem. I have talked to
SISTINA and they have assured me that the LVM does
work on AS2.1. I know that doesn't help.
3.3 I know there was a problem with oracm,
libskgxn9.so , watchdogd which produced similar
errors. I know there is a patch but I don't remember
what the patch number is at this time. I think it was
patch 1883763 but I am not sure.
Hope this helps,
Scott
