oracleasm update-driver failed in OEL 6
866604Jun 4 2011 — edited Jun 5 2011Hi ,
I have a problem with oracleasm update-driver command.
I have OEL 6 installed in my machine.
When I entered command : rpm -qa| grep oracleasm it is showing me the below output :
oracleasm-support-2.1.5-1.el6.i686
But after that, when I issued command oracleasm update-driver , it shows me below error :
Kernel: 2.6.32-71.el6.i686 i686
Driver name: oracleasm-2.6.32-71.el6.i686
Driver for kernel 2.6.32-71.el6.i686 does not exist
As a result of this my ASMLib driver is not Initializing properly. Below is the details of that :
[root@abhishek]# /etc/init.d/oracleasm configure
Configuring the Oracle ASM library driver.
This will configure the on-boot properties of the Oracle ASM library
driver. The following questions will determine whether the driver is
loaded on boot and what permissions it will have. The current values
will be shown in brackets ('[]'). Hitting <ENTER> without typing an
answer will keep that current value. Ctrl-C will abort.
Default user to own the driver interface [oracle]:
Default group to own the driver interface [oinstall]:
Start Oracle ASM library driver on boot (y/n) [y]:
Scan for Oracle ASM disks on boot (y/n) [y]:
Writing Oracle ASM library driver configuration: done
*Initializing the Oracle ASMLib driver: [FAILED]*
Can anyone please help me to resolve this ?
Thanks
Abhishek
