OCFS2 should work, I have only tried it on with oracle databases and apps.


ASM is only for Oracle.

Does Oracle say that OCFS2 wont work?� I think it will...

Hi,

We have 3 RHEL5 machines and are trying to decide how to correctly configure them as a clustered system that will run a variety of applications, as well as many Oracle databases.

Oracle tells us that the only options are ASM or CLVM with GFS. �Isn't ASM only for Oracle databases, though?

We are currently at release 10.2.0.4.0 for our Oracle databases.

Any comments?

Note that we currently have these 3 machines set up with LVM2 and Oracle Clusterware, but are not running any RAC databases, just single instance databases. �The problem we've run into is in trying to resize the LUNs.
