Install OCFS RPMs error

416477Jun 27 2004
Hello everyone. Im experimentting the RAC on Centos 3.1 (essentially REHL 3.0). Got the error msgs when i install the OCFS RPMs, see as below.
------------------------start here---------------------
[root@centos02 RAC]# rpm -Uvh ocfs-support-1.0.10-1.i386.rpm
Preparing... ########################################### [100%]

[root@centos02 RAC]# rpm -Uvh ocfs-2.4.21-EL-1.0.12-1.i686.rpm

--------------------------end-------------------------
Seems that caused by the different kernel version? And then encountered another problem on executing /sbin/load_cfs.

------------------------start here---------------------
[root@centos02 RAC]# /sbin/load_ocfs

Here is my linux version:
[root@centos02 RAC]# uname -a
Linux centos02 2.4.21-9.0.1.EL.c0 #1 Sat Mar 6 11:08:02 GMT 2004 i686 athlon i386 GNU/Linux

Anyone has greatly remedy? Thanks in advance!!

We are also thinking about making the same move (9.2.0.6 to 10R2) sometime this year. We use a few obsolete Oracle products that are certified with 10gR1 but not with R2, but we figure if the application works in test we will go to R2 instead of R1.

I would recommend going to R2. There are some bugs within R1 that are resolved only in R2. e.g. Datapump issues in R1 are quite common with huge stats. I would wait for the application to be certified though. No point going uncertified:P

Some of the products we use will never be certified with R2. Oracle does not certify obsolete products like Forms 6i anymore. We would love for Oracle to go ahead an certify everything that in fact should work with R2 that is still out in the market being used. I just do not think it will happen.

We moved our major Production system over to 10gR2 (10.2.0.1) a few weeks ago. Of course, 10.2.0.2 came out right before we upgraded, so we had no chance to put it through regression testing, but it sure would have been nice.

It is hard to say if we "made the jump" too soon or not. As with anything else, there are pros and cons to consider. One of the biggest problems we have come up against so far is that Oracle Support is not fully versed in 10g, yet. We filed a Sev 1 SR and were assigned analysts who were complaining about all the new features in 10g that they did not know (good thing one our DBAs speaks Hindi). The new version is a very mixed bag - there are some really cool new features, but with the sad state of software development currently, there are a ton of bugs. Just take a look at all the bug fixes in 10.2.0.2 - and that is the known bugs. Another area that is tricky are staticistics, since Oracle is attempting to phaze out the RBO. I have found that there is not much written about new features (understandbly), so you have to dig for them, or attempt to comprehend the documentation.

In my opinion, if you are stable on 9i, I would wait to upgrade until you need (or really want) a new feature. I realize that sticking with 9i means you will probably have to apply many many patches (when is 9208 coming out?), but the core functionality does not change as much as when you jump to 10g. In the meantime, get up a few 10g databases and practice a lot with it. grin
