ASMLib for CentOS 4.6

Hi All,
I have CentOS 4.6 with Kernel2.6.9-27ELsmp i686.
I've so far been unable to locate a corresponding Driver for it on Oracle site. Unless of course I've been looking in the wrong direction.
Kindly point me in the right direction.
Regards,
Timothy.

Hi Timothy,
unfortunately Oracle does not directly support CentOS. Just RHEL, SLES and OEL.
For that reason there will be no releases for CentOS directly.
However since the kernel seems very similar to RHEL you might get an EL4 release for your kernel.
But now again closet versions out there are:
Drivers for kernel 2.6.9-34.EL
Drivers for kernel 2.6.9-22.EL
Nothing for a 27 Kernel :(
On the other hand, since the source code is GPL you could try compiling it yourself.
Since you are on an unsupported version of OS anyways there is no harm in that.
The sources can be found here (at the bottom of the page):
http://www.oracle.com/technology/tech/linux/asmlib/index.html
Furthermore, if you don't get ASMLIB to run ASM runs perfectly fine without asmlib.
Its just a best practice to use, because it needs less resources, no hassle with rigths assignment on harddisks etc. But it will also work without...
Regards
Sebastian

ASMLIB for RHELAS3.0

Does the continued absence of ASMLIB for RHEL AS 3.0 mean that automatic storage management is unavailable for this platform?
I have found very little mention of anyone using ASM on linux. Does the installation of Oracle on the ext3 file system remain the most common installation? I found it interesting, for example, that the file system install is the only installation type mentioned in guides such as on puschitz.com

Can you help me?
I use RHAS 2.1 and my system didn't recognize raw device.

and you don't **need** asmlib on linux. I find it just gets in the way and performance is a bit slower when in use. Just my observation. YMMV.

Oracle Enterprise Edition for CentOS 5.5, 64-bit ?

Hi
We are going to install Oracle enterprise edition 11gR2 on CentOS 5.5, 64-bit servers for 2-node RAC/ASM setup. I guess we should just need to download "Linux x86 -64" from oracle software down page http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/database/enterprise-edition/downloads/index.html. Should that work for CentOS 5.5, 64-bit, since there is no specific version for CentOS 5.5, 64-bit? And that Linux x86-64 works for all different kind of linux 64bit?
Thanks!

Hi;
CentOS is not a certified and supported operating system for Oracle RDBMS software and there are no plans to add support for CentOS. Supported operating systems are listed in the 11gR2 Oracle Installation Guide in chapter 3 which is avaliable at
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E11882_01/install.112/e16763.pdf
Please see:

ASMLib for the Linux 2.6 kernel

Does anyone knows when Oracle will release a newer ASMLib for the 2.6 kernel? The current one only works for RH2.1, RH3 and SSL8. SSL9 is now officially supported by Oracle database 10g but why the ASMLib is still lacking? If anyone have any experience of making the current ASMLib to work with the 2.6 kernel, please share the experience. Thanks!
Regards,
Stephen

No Oracle products are certified to run on Oracle Linux 6 yet either. However, once ASMLib is released, it will only be available via ULN, as far as I know.And only for the Unbreakable Enterprise Kernel, not for the Red Hat compatible kernel.

Linux LVM (Logical Volume Manager) for CentOS on Azure?

Hi. I am trying out Azure and installed a OpenLogic CentOS 6 virtual machine. I note that it is not running LVM (Logical Volume Manager) by default. I would like to ask if it is possible to:
1. have CentOS Linux installed with LVM by default when creating a Linux virtual machine on Azure
2. switch to LVM after adding a new disk
On the other hand, is it a good idea to use LVM at all? Will it affect performance, features on Azure?
Thanks.

Hi,
Based on my experience, you can add disk to an Azure VM. You can install the Logical Volume Manager to manage the disks attached to the VM. In addition, there is no Linux VM with LVM installed by default. If you want to have this, please submit your requirement
in Azure feedback:
http://feedback.azure.com/forums/34192--general-feedback
In addition, since you can have only one OS system disk for an Azure VM, this limitation may make multi-disk logical volume manager setups unworkable.
Best regards,
Susie

MohamedWhat is your linux and oracle version? To installing ASM you have to take correct version asmlib packages for your OS and kernel version.You have to install following packages.
oracleasm-support-version.arch.rpm
oracleasm-kernel-version.arch.rpm
oracleasmlib-version.arch.rpmRefer below link and download above correct rpms according your kernel version and install these.
