Re: [suse-oracle] Oracle ASM driver for SLES 11

Thanks for the reply s.

Starting with 11g R2 , RAC installation offer only two options to store 
OCR and Voting disks.
1. ASM Diskgroups
2.Supported clusters file systems.

Is not possible to specify raw or block devices directly in OUI screens.
Oracle has deprecated raw devices support as some Unix vendors.


Is true that ASMLIB is not mandatory and you can create ASM diskgroups 
using a variate of devices types, including multi-path , raw partitions etc.
However, Oracle recommends install and configure ASMLIB. I think that 
lun persist ency across different s changes at the storage level can 
prevent bad functions in the drivers naming.

Best regards
Arturo
