Michele:
Is there a better estimate of when 10gR2 RAC will be certified with
OCFS2?

Ralf,
As you must have read reply from Michele Resta (Oracle)
that Oracle
certification is in progress (all platform) and Oracle
supportmatrix will
get updated after that. This doesn't mean that
OCFS2/SLES9 has problem but
has to go through lengthy Oracle certification process.
There are many
folks on this list has successfully deployed and
provided excellent
feedback.
In SP3 Release Notes there is this paragraph:
"Included support for Oracle Cluster Filesystem 2 (ocfs2) for
limited use
cases
At the time of this release notes support is limited to the
following
conditions:
* x86, AMD64 & Intel EM64T, Itanium, IBM POWER, IBM S/390 &
zSeries hardware
platform
* valid support agreement with Novell and Oracle
* use as a home for Oracle RAC (${ORACLE_HOME}, no general
purpose use)
Support conditions may be extended over time. Please contact
your Novell sales
or support representative about the current status."
This means that:
OCFS2 is supported for Oracle shared home and for database/index
files.
It's not yet "Unbreakable Linux" (will be soon), but it's more
than it was
before SP3 (was unsupported).
Is this correct?

<mailto:michele.resta@(protected):
10gR2 RAC certification with OCFS2 is still in
progress.
This is a configuration not supported yet.
Testing is in progress across different
architectures.
Once the certification will be completed, Oracle
will provide
"Unbreakable Linux Support" on OCFS2.
