We are just curious if  Oracle 11gR2 (11.2) ASM / ACFS (ASM Cluster Filesystem)  supported in previous RHEL 4.x and OEL 4.x?

Answer is Yes and No 😉

oracleasm create disk error – device is not a partition

Tagged Under : , , , , , ,

[root@mytest1 /]# /etc/init.d/oracleasm createdisk ASM_DISK1 /dev/emcpowera1
Marking disk “/dev/emcpowera1” as an ASM disk: asmtool: Device “/dev/emcpowera1” is not a partition
[FAILED]

Symptom  above looks familiar? This is non Oracle ASMlib issue, but EMCPOWER PATH issue.

Applies to:

Linux x86 & Linux x86-64

Symptom:

Error shown above even though the disk is properly formatted and has the requisite partition.

Cause:

EMC Powerpath Versions 5.0.1 and 5.1 do not properly support the i/o calls that oracleasm makes.
