11g R2 RAC on VMWare - ocfs2 problem

user130038Jul 11 2011 — edited Jul 12 2011
Hi there

I am creating two node 11gR2 RAC using VMWare. I have successfully installed Grid Infrastructure. The next step in the guide I am following is to configure OCFS2.

I installed the 3-required RPMs (ocfs2-tools-1.*, ocfs2-el5- and ocfs2console-* on both VMs as root). I ran "ocfs2console" and created cluster configuration successfully. See the cluster.conf contents below:
[root@collabn1 Server]# more /etc/ocfs2/cluster.conf
node:
        ip_port = 7777
        ip_address = 172.16.100.51
        number = 0
        name = collabn1
        cluster = ocfs2
 
node:
        ip_port = 7777
        ip_address = 172.16.100.52
        number = 1
        name = collabn2
        cluster = ocfs2
 
cluster:
        node_count = 2
        name = ocfs2
I propagated the configuration to 2nd node successfully using menu option and I can see the cluster.conf file with same contents as above on 2nd node as well.

The next step is to "*format*" the device for OCFS filesystem. When I try this, I get an error:
ocfs2console
   TASKS
        FORMAT
              Error: No unmounted partitions

Could someone please help me figure out what the problem is? Please let me know if any further info is required to analyze the issue.
