support rawdevices by linux oracle.

user325931Oct 27 2011 — edited Oct 31 2011
I am not a professional technician in linux, but I need everyone's opinion to reach a conclusion regarding Oracle Linux 5 update 7 which has the kernel 2.6.32-200.13.1.el5uek. What is the limit for raw devices supported by this distribution and kernel?
I know that the raw device was deprecated in this update to the version 3 and after its use was released by Oracle for your database in RAC environment.
As dis in metalink note 564580.1. A summary below.

Is> = EL5U4, configure raw devices via / etc / sysconfig / rawdevices rawdevices in Conjunction with the service.
Is <EL5U4, use a custom or existing script such as / etc / rc.local to configure raw devices, for example:

Raws These devices are configured using multipath.

Thanks.
