Re: ASMLIB for IA64???

You DON'T NEED ASM library for ASM. Just use raw devices and forget about 
ASMLib. ASMLib is just a piece of junk, doing nothing usefull.

You must:
- create raw devices using /etc/init.d/raw service or modified variation (I 
ise rawnames service);
- start dbca, ask to create ASM, and assign these (one or more) raw disks to 
asm.

When working with RAC, if root.sh can't initiate OCRFile (which must be a 
raw disk) or CSSFile, have a few tips:
- sometimes it can't work with partitions,. sometimes with the whole disk. 
Looks as an oracle bug (10.2 only);
- CSSFile must be owned by oracle, 'disk' group is not enough. To change 
ownership of the raw device, use

But I'd better advice against SLES10 , Itanium and RAC together. Take SLES9 
SP3 _or_ take AMD/Intel server(s). This combination (SLES10 SP1, Itanium, 
RAC cluster) is more likely a big troublemaker because it is very uncommon.

Here are my installations, but they are all for Intel and for SLES9 (I can't 
allow SLES10 for the database yet because of numerous problems with it).
