Hi guys

I trying to experience Automatic Storage Management (ASM) at my vmware 10gr2..

My Cents0s already have 10gr2 installed , i know there is an option on Console to migrate to ASM , but i wanted to test out how the detail part of ASmlib.

So i follow the guide to download those rpm file after i get my kernel version 2.6.9-22.EL

* oracleasm-support-2.0.1-1.i386.rpm
* oracleasmlib-2.0.1-1.i386.rpm
* oracleasm-2.6.9-22.EL-2.0.1-1.i686.rpm

for the first time i do an

Quote:

rpm -Uvh oracleasm-support-2.0.1-1.i386.rpm \
oracleasmlib-2.0.1-1.i386.rpm \
oracleasm-2.6.9-22.EL-2.0.1-1.i686.rpm

everything go smooth , then i do an
# /etc/init.d/oracleasm configure

and this error message come out.
Loading module "oracleasm": Unable to load module "oracleasm"
[FAILED]

I try to copy using the latest oracleasm-2.6.9-34.ELsmp-2.0.1-1.i686.rpm on the oracleasm.ko and overwrite into the current oracleasm

and try again this oracleasm configure , and this new error come out

Quote:

Mounting ASMlib driver filesystem: mount: block device oracleasmfs is write-protected, mounting read-only
mount: cannot mount block device oracleasmfs read-only

Hi,

Pls try: sh /etc/init.d/oracleasm configure
I assume it will work.

I haven't found out the reason of this bug/error, but I'm on it.

Best regards,

[root@dl385db ~]# chkconfig --list|grep asm
oracleasm 0:off 1:off 2:on 3:on 4:on 5:on 6:off
[root@dl385db ~]# service oracleasm configure
Configuring the Oracle ASM library driver.

This will configure the on-boot properties of the Oracle ASM library
driver. The following questions will determine whether the driver is
loaded on boot and what permissions it will have. The current values
will be shown in brackets ('[]'). Hitting <ENTER> without typing an
answer will keep that current value. Ctrl-C will abort.

Default user to own the driver interface [oracle]:
Default group to own the driver interface [dba]:

Mounting ASMlib driver filesystem: mount: block device oracleasmfs is write-protected, mounting read-only
mount: cannot mount block device oracleasmfs read-only

Probably the error comes from missing env. variables. I will check it soon.

In my case the the error rooted in selinux.

temporary solution:
echo 0 > /selinux/enforce

permanent solution:
vi selinux
#SELINUX=enforcing
SELINUX=disabled
