Error: "FATAL: Module oracleasm not found" in Red Hat 6

Fabricio_JorgeMay 2 2015 — edited May 3 2015

Hi all:

   OS.....: Red Hat 6.5 (64 bits)

   I am preparing to install an 12c RAC in a Red Hat 6.5. While configuring the ASMLib, i got the following error while executing "/usr/sbin/oracleasm init":

      May  2 18:23:20 oraprd01 modprobe: FATAL: Module oracleasm not found.

   I configure the Oracle YUM Repository and installed the "kmod-oracleasm" package. And in the link (Oracle ASMLib Downloads for Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server 6) i got the "oracleasmlib" and "oracleasm-support" packages, as you can see below:

      [root@oraprd01 binarios]# rpm -qa | grep -i oracleasm

      kmod-oracleasm-2.0.8-4.el6_6.x86_64

      oracleasm-support-2.1.8-1.el6.x86_64

      oracleasmlib-2.0.4-1.el6.x86_64

   My kernel is:

      Linux oraprd01 2.6.32-431.el6.x86_64 #1 SMP Sun Nov 10 22:19:54 EST 2013 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

     

   My Red Hat version is:

      [root@oraprd01 binarios]# cat /etc/redhat-release

      Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server release 6.5 (Santiago)

   Why am i getting the above error while trying to init the oracleasm module? What am i doing wrong?


   Thanks in advance.
