Errors in building the RAC
639923Jun 4 2008 — edited Jul 5 2010hi all,
I am facing many issues installing the RAC 11g database with openfiler and filesystem ocfs2 and ASM
plz plz help me out from this issue i was struggling with this from couple of days
1)i have succesfully installed EL 5 on 2 nodes and openfiler in a node
and by the way i am using the hunter document as my guide installed the above mentioned as per the doc at http://www.oracle.com/technology/pub/articles/hunter_rac11gr1_iscsi.html
2)i have succesfully done the logical partitions of the openfiler external harddisk which even showed me the partitions as example
Disk /dev/dm-2: 38.8 GB, 38822477824 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 4719 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes
Disk /dev/dm-2 doesn't contain a valid partition table
3) The issue is tht when i want to configure the iscsi volumes from the RAC node prior to that i must issue a command to discover them from my rac node with the command
iscsiadm -m discovery -t sendtargets -p openfiler1-priv(which should show me the volumes but it isnt)
4)And that when i do a service open-iscsi restart from openfiler system i am getting as
[root@openfiler ~]# service open-iscsi restart
Stopping iSCSI initiator service: iscsiadm: can not connect to iSCSI daemon!
iscsiadm: exiting due to configuration error
[ OK ]
iscsiadm: can not connect to iSCSI daemon! [ OK ]
iscsiadm: exiting due to configuration error
[ OK ]
I have clearly explained all the things i have done so plzzzzz help me out from this which i am struggling from couple of days
waiting for an early reply
thnks
david
