RE: CRS install failing

Mladen,

From the system adminstrator...

I stopped the rawdevices service on both nodes, formatted /dev/emcpowera1 (which is the multipathed device underlying /dev/raw/raw1), and was able to mount it and write to it from both nodes. Seems like it works to me. I've unmounted that file system and restarted the rawdevices service. You can try your install again; perhaps there was some data lingering there from a previous installation which Oracle didn't like this time around.

So there was something incorrect in the way the devices were configured. As to what, I don't know. Thank you for the catch.

William, you might have a problem with your disk drives. These error messages tell me that oracle cannot read superblock, usually a bad sign. Did you try doing a simple "ls" on your OCFS?
