/etc/init.d/oracleasm createdisk FAILED

Hi DBAs,
We got this error when creating asm disk using /etc/init.d/oracleasm create disk. The disks are HDS and EMC Powerpath. Any advices are greatly appreciated.
Below are the steps we've done:
[root@host1]# /etc/init.d/oracleasm createdisk ocrdisk1 /dev/raw/raw1
Marking disk "ocrdisk1" as an ASM disk: [FAILED]
cat /etc/sysconfig/rawdevices
# raw device bindings
# format: <rawdev> <major> <minor>
# <rawdev> <blockdev>
# example: /dev/raw/raw1 /dev/sda1
# /dev/raw/raw2 8 5
/dev/raw/raw1 /dev/emcpowerb
[root@host1]# /sbin/service rawdevices restart
Assigning devices:
/dev/raw/raw1 --> /dev/emcpowerz
/dev/raw/raw1: bound to major 120, minor 16
done
[root@host1]# set -o vi
[root@host1]# /etc/init.d/oracleasm createdisk ocrdisk1 /dev/raw/raw1
Marking disk "ocrdisk1" as an ASM disk: [FAILED]

Thanks for sharing the solution ..
Please mark the thread as answered.

Installing ASM on linux : /etc/init.d/oracleasm createdisk VOL1 [failed]

Hi all,
Oracle unbreakable linux
oracle 10.2.0.1
I got this error while mark ing the disks for use by ASMLib
/etc/init.d/oracleasm createdisk VOL1 [failed]
I already performed the steps mentioned below
uname -rm
Ex:
# uname -rm
2.6.9-22.ELsmp i686
The example shows that this is a 2.6.9-22 kernel for an SMP (multiprocessor) box using Intel i686 CPUs.
Use this information to find the correct ASMLib packages on OTN:
1. Point your Web browser to http://www.oracle.com/technology/tech/linux/asmlib/index.html
2. Select the link for your version of Linux.
3. Download the oracleasmlib and oracleasm-support packages for your version of Linux
4. Download the oracleasm package corresponding to your kernel. In the example above, the oracleasm-2.6.9-22.ELsmp-2.0.0-1.i686.rpm package was used.
Next, install the packages by executing the following command as root:
rpm -Uvh oracleasm-kernel_version-asmlib_version.cpu_type.rpm \
oracleasmlib-asmlib_version.cpu_type.rpm \
oracleasm-support-asmlib_version.cpu_type.rpm
Ex:
# rpm -Uvh \
> oracleasm-2.6.9-22.ELsmp-2.0.0-1.i686.rpm \
> oracleasmlib-2.0.1-1.i386.rpm \
> oracleasm-support-2.0.1-1.i386.rpm

Configuring ASMLib
Before using ASMLib, you must run a configuration script to prepare the driver. Run the following command as root, and answer the prompts as shown in the example below.
# /etc/init.d/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

Please Help me Guys.

Hi,
I tried to do on p1 partition but it also did not work. orcfs2 was running so it was locking the partition (i figure it out). I made stop for ocfs2 then created the disk using oraclasm on sdb1 and it did not work on sdb1px (I don't know why!!!).
Now if i go to fdisk -l /dev/sdb1 it does not recognize the partition table.
[root@linux01 /]# fdisk -l

/etc/init.d/oracleasm configure do not create /dev/oracleasm mountpoint

Dear All,
I have to put my question like this, I am following humter_rac10gr2_iscsi. I have done everything as per documentation and the results so far have been ok. When i come to the part where we have to create ASM volumes and when i after installing asm library give the following command:
/etc/init.d/oracleasm configure
The commd runs sucessfully but misses the folling line that is in documentation:
Creating /dev/oracleasm mount point: [OK]
Because of this miss I guess last time when i reached the poing during dbca database creation where it shows ASM volumes, it did not discover any ASM volumes and i was stuck at this point.
Kindly help me on this?
Regards, Imran baig

Hello,
Well i run /etc/init.d/oracleasm configure command as root user.
Yesh I have just checked i can cd to /dev/oracleasm/disks and can find
VOLl VOL2 VOL3 VOL4 there
I have delete first and then create ASM volumes and now i can scan and list then from both nodes.
/etc/init.d/oracleasm status says that
Checking if ASM is loaded: [OK]
Checking if /dev/oracleasm is mounted: [OK] :)
But id did not show it during configuration and similary when i run dbca at the screen where to specify volumes, nothing is there even when i cange disk path to ORCL:VOL* there is nothing....
Kindly help with the dbca configurations so that it pick up the ASM VOLUMES.
Regards,
Imran

Oracleasm createdisk just like pvcreate by LVM?

Hello
so before I create ASM diskgroup I need to oracleasm createdisk frist.
So,Does it like "pvcreate" on LVM ?

Hi,
What is your OS?
The command is for example /etc/init.d/oracleasm createdisk ASMDATA /dev/sdc1, this command will mark partition /dev/sdc1 as an ASM Disk
Cheers

Oracleasm lib failed to load with "Invalid module format" error

Hi,
I'm tring to install the oracleasm lib onto our hardened Redhat EL5 server
I've download the oracleasm rpm from this page http://www.oracle.com/technology/software/tech/linux/asmlib/rhel5.html.
We're using Redhat 5 U 2
[root@PG673 modules]# uname -rm
2.6.18-92.el5 x86_64
[root@PG673 modules]#
The package I downloaded is an exact match with our kernel version
[root@PG673 modules]# rpm -qa | grep asm

RPM installation went well, but when we run the /etc/init.d/oracleasm configure command, we hit the following error
[root@PG673 other]# /etc/init.d/oracleasm configure
/etc/init.d/oracleasm: line 207: /usr/sbin/oracleasm: cannot execute binary file
Later we found out that the oracleasm module haven't been loaded, so we try to load it manually, but we hit the "Invalid module format" error.
[root@PG673 modules]# modprobe -l | grep asm
/lib/modules/2.6.18-92.el5/kernel/drivers/addon/oracleasm/oracleasm.ko
[root@PG673 modules]# modprobe oracleasm
FATAL: Error inserting oracleasm (/lib/modules/2.6.18-92.el5/kernel/drivers/addon/oracleasm/oracleasm.ko): Invalid module format
[root@PG673 modules]#
As I know this error could happen if the driver version is not match with the system kernel version.
The problem is we're already using an exact match version of driver with our system, I can't think of what to do next in order to proceed the installation.
Really appreciate if someone could point me a direction.
Thanks
Mike

Hi Mike,
something looks a bit strange for me. On my OEL 5.4 x64 system i have just the following 3 packages:
$ rpm -qa | grep asm
oracleasm-2.6.18-164.el5-2.0.5-1.el5
oracleasm-support-2.1.3-1.el5
oracleasmlib-2.0.4-1.el5 Your packages should be I think the following:
http://oss.oracle.com/projects/oracleasm-support/dist/files/RPMS/rhel5/amd64/2.1.3/oracleasm-support-2.1.3-1.el5.x86_64.rpm
http://otn.oracle.com/software/tech/linux/asmlib/files/RPMS/rhel5/amd64/2.0.4/oracleasmlib-2.0.4-1.el5.x86_64.rpm
http://oss.oracle.com/projects/oracleasm/dist/files/RPMS/rhel5/amd64/2.0.5/2.6.18-92.el5/oracleasm-2.6.18-92.el5-2.0.5-1.el5.x86_64.rpm
Uninstall all asm packages and retry with just those three.
Good luck!
Cheers,

$ sudo /etc/init.d/oracle-xe configure

Hello,
I installed XE 64bit on Ubuntu 10.10 after I used alien. When I do
$ sudo /etc/init.d/oracle-xe configure
I get,
Configuring database...grep: /u01/app/oracle/product/11.2.0/xe/config/log/*.log: No such file or directory
grep: /u01/app/oracle/product/11.2.0/xe/config/log/*.log: No such file or directory
Database Configuration failed. Look into /u01/app/oracle/product/11.2.0/xe/config/log for details
Thanks,
Eric J.

I get this error on fedora 14. Turns out the problem was that SELinux was blocking lsnrctl. Following the instructions from /var/log/messages fixed the specific problem (though it showed up again for sqlplus and was fixed in the same way). Presumably, disabling SELinux would fix the problem too.

/etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup issue

Hi,
I installed virtualBox 4 using Yum.
When I try to start a Virtual Machine it throws error and asks me to run "/etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup".
When I run the command, it throws following error:
================================

Any idea?

Error! Your kernel headers for kernel 2.6.18-238.0.0.0.1.el5xen cannot be found atI don't think that using the XEN kernel in Virtualbox is a good idea. You might rather try the original RHEL or Oracle UEK kernel. In order to install the Guest additions you need to install "kernel-devel/kernle-uek-devel" and "kernel-uek-headers/kernel-headers" packages depending on your kernel type.

"command not found" means ... there is no such thing.

Rendering error whilst writing to file /filename etc./ An output module failed

I'm trying to render my composition in the latest AE CC 2014. I get the following error with all composition sizes and with different codecs: Rendering error whilst writing to file /filename etc./ An output module failed. The file may be damaged or corrupted (-1610153464). Can anyone help me sort this problem?

AE build number? Codec used? System OS?

Installing Oracle - /etc/init.d/oracle-xe configure command missing?

I've AMD64 system with Ubuntu 11.04 installed. It's been rough ride for me to install oracle-xe-universal. I've already spent more than 2 days on this. Still unsuccessful.
1) First I downloaded the packages libaio_0.3.104-1_i386.deb and oracle-xe-universal_10.2.0.1-1.1_i386.deb
2) Then I ran
sudo apt-get install bc (ran fine)
sudo dpkg -i --force-architecture libaio_0.3.104-1_i386.deb (ran fine)
sudo dpkg -i --force-architecture oracle-xe-universal_10.2.0.1-1.1_i386.deb (gave me dependency error for libc6 (>= 2.3.2), I modified the control file to remove dependency and rebuilt the package) (now worked fine)
Oracle xe is now installed. Then I tried to start the DB it started but it's HTTP client never started. So I decided to uninstall the oracle-xe=universal. None of the sudo apt-get remove oracle-xe-universal command's didn't worked for me. So i went for manual uninstallation directions as per oracle link.
I ran the following command-
Manually uninstalling Oracle 10g
sudo rm -rf /usr/lib/oracle /etc/oratab /etc/init.d/oracle-xe /etc/sysconfig/oracle-xe /usr/share/doc/oracle_xe /usr/share/doc/oracle_xe_client
Then I again ran the following command to install oracle-xe
sudo dpkg -i --force-architecture oracle-xe-universal_10.2.0.1-1.0_i386.deb
See below what I got as the output-
rocky@ubuntu:~/git/mygit/edas2/libaio$ sudo dpkg -i --force-architecture oracle-xe-universal_10.2.0.1-1.1_i386.deb

Now if I try to run the following command, it says command not found-

sudo: /etc/init.d/oracle-xe: command not found
rocky@ubuntu:~/git/mygit/edas2/libaio$
Even in applications menu I don't see the if oracle has been installed.
So i conclude first time installation was ok but somehow http client didn't worked.
After manual uninstallation, second installation didn't even loaded/installed the oracle-xe in init.d directory.
Please help here.

Any reason you are not using a supported OS?
And any reason you are running two threads on the same problem? /etc/init.d/oracle-xe is missing?
