Setting up an Oracle ASM disks is rather simple, and the procedure can be easily obtained from here, for example. This is nice and pretty, and works well for most environments. EMC PowerPath creates meta devices which utilize the underlying paths, as mod_scsi sees them in Linux, without hiding them (unlike IBM’s RDAC, for example)….
This is an interesting bug I have encountered: The output of an sssu command should look like this: EVA> DELETE STORAGE “Virtual DisksLinuxoracleSNAP_ORACLE” EVA> It still leaves the snapshot (SNAP_ORACLE in this case) visible, until the web interface is used to press on “Ok”. This happened to me on HP EVA with HP StorageWorks Command…
Following an upgrade of AIX 5.3 to level 07, with SP1 technology upgrade, I had encountered a problem installing a package required for Oracle 11g – rsct.basic.rte 2.4.8.0 This rsct.basic.rte package requires rsct.basic.rte version 2.4.0.0 from AIX CD, however, to install it, I am required to install xlC.aix61 version 9.0.0.1, which should not be here,…
HP MSA1000 is an entry-level disk storage capable of communicating via different types of interfaces, such as SCSI and FC, and can allow FC failover. This FC failover, however, is controller failover and not path failover. It means that if the primary controller fails entirely, the backup controller will “kick in”. However, if a multi-path…
Per the last post in this thread, I have created a startup script to an Oracle setup I’ve had. The script is rather simple – you “su –” to the Oracle user, and you just start the DB. Same goes for shutting it down. I have tested it and it worked well. Due to the…
Problem as follows: A Linux server is connected to a 1Gb/s LAN using 1Gb/s interface. I was told that SSH to the machine fails with “socket error” when done from Windows/Putty. One of the tests was done using Linux/ssh client, and it went fine. A switch was replaced, and other methods of detection showed weird…
