Hi,

Usually, installation of rpm is sysadmin task.
But I think that configuration should be done by dba.
(Anyway, ocfs2console should be run by root.)

Maybe, ACFS will be instead of OCFS3.

Answer
OCFS2 is a general-purpose shared-disk cluster file system for Linux capable of providing both high performance and high availability. As it provides local file system semantics, it can be used with almost all applications. Cluster-aware applications can make use of cache-coherent parallel I/Os from multiple nodes to scale out applications easily. Other applications can make use of the file system facilities to fail-over running application in the event of a node failure.

and you can use another solutions for Oracle RAC
