Hi,

I am in the process of setting up 2node RAC with the following components:

Oracle 10g R2 RAC
Oracle Clusterware
AIX 5L 5.3
HP Storage
ASM

Following are shared disks for storage:

on Node1:

/dev/rhdisk10      -- for voting disk
/dev/rhdisk11      -- for OCR
/dev/rhdisk12    -- for ASM
/dev/rhdisk13    -- for ASM
/dev/rhdisk14    -- for ASM


on Node2:

/dev/rhdisk10      -- for voting disk
/dev/rhdisk11      -- for OCR
/dev/rhdisk15    -- for ASM
/dev/rhdisk16    -- for ASM
/dev/rhdisk18    -- for ASM


Shared disk names are not same accross my nodes.

we have created new common device name file for non-common disks dev/rhdisk12-14 & /dev/rhdisk15-18.

new device names are : rac_dsk1, rac_dsk2, rac_dsk3

I am able to access these disks rac_dsk1-3 using dd command.

But Cluster verfication utility fails with error ERROR:  /dev/rac_dsk1
Storage operation failed.

I have used the following cluvfy command.

./cluvfy comp ssa -n node1, node2 -s /dev/rac_dsk1,/dev/rac_dsk2


Are there any known issues with cluvfy?

Is it possible to use shared storage with different device names during ASM instance / Disk group creations?


Thanks
