Infrastructure Software

Hi,

I have had great advice on this board, and thought maybe someone could help me out. I am following the instructions on installing Enterprise Linux on VMServer. I have just about completed the install, but have ran into the following error message at this step of the instructions:

Format the file system. Before proceeding with formatting and mounting the file system, verify that O2CB is online on both nodes; O2CB heartbeat is currently inactive because the file system is not mounted.

# /etc/init.d/o2cb status
Module "configfs": Loaded
Filesystem "configfs": Mounted
Module "ocfs2_nodemanager": Loaded
Module "ocfs2_dlm": Loaded
Module "ocfs2_dlmfs": Loaded
Filesystem "ocfs2_dlmfs": Mounted
Checking O2CB cluster ocfs2: Online
Checking O2CB heartbeat: Not active

You are only required to format the file system on one node. As the root user on rac1, execute

# ocfs2console

1. OCFS2 Console: Select Tasks, Format.
2. Format:
* Available devices: /dev/sdb1
* Volume label: oracle
* Cluster size: Auto
* Number of node slots: 4
* Block size: Auto
3. OCFS2 Console: CTRL-Q to quit.

Mount the file system. To mount the file system, execute the command below on both nodes.

# mount -t ocfs2 -o datavolume,nointr /dev/sdb1 /ocfs


On rac1, the command to mount the file system works great, no errors. But on rac2, I get the following error:

[root@rac2 ~]# mount -t ocfs2 -o datavolume,nointr /dev/sdb1 /ocfs
ocfs2_hb_ctl: Bad magic number in superblock while reading uuid
mount.ocfs2: Error when attempting to run /sbin/ocfs2_hb_ctl: "Operations not
permitted"


Does anyone have an idea, I have followed the instructions to the letter, and this is the first error that has me stopped.

Thanks,

Zach
