New Oracle Linux 6 installation - ASMLib and EMC Powerpath - is it possible

mdaskalovAug 16 2012 — edited Jan 30 2013
Hi everyone,
I would like to ask whether that latest version of Oracle Linux 6 can be used for a new installation (one that will replace Windows) to serve as that basis for Oracle RAC.
The storage is a high-end EMC Clariion.

I want to use the Unbreakable Enterprise Linux 2.
I would like to use EMC Powerpath, but it seems this is not yet available (or at list not present in the current EMC support matrix).
I want to use ASMLib, but if have to use redhat compatible kernel (so that I can use Powerpath), I will not be able to use ASMLib (AFAIK).

Does anybody has experience with this problem? What would you recommend?

I'm putting a list of possile options that I am aware of:

1. Use OEL5 with redhat compatible kernel (use Powerpath and ASMLib).
2. Use OEL6 with UEK2 kernel, but don't use Powerpath (use dm-multipath and ASMLib)
3. Use OEL6 with redhat compatible kernel (use Powerpath and don't use ASMLib, but use udev for persistent device permissions and naming)
4. Use SLES11 (with Powerpath and ASMLib)

do you have other suggestions? do you have comments on the pros and cons on this options.

Can someone from EMC or Oracle comment on the plans to make Powerpath available for OL6 with UEK2 ?

Regards,
Mihail

Answer

Limited SQL Plus command support is now available in the new 19.3.3 version. Please try it out and let me know what you think.
