Configuring Shared Storage Using the Block Devices
1 On the first node , create six partitions on an external storage device with the
fdisk utility:
Ty p e
:
fdisk /dev/emcpowerX
and create six partitions of 300 MB each for the Oracle Cluster Repositories
(OCR), Voting Disks, and the Oracle system parameter file.
2 Verify the new partitions by typing:
more /proc/partitions
On all the nodes, if the new partitions do not appear in the /proc/partitions
file, type:
sfdisk -R /dev/<device name>
3 On all the nodes in a Fibre Channel cluster, perform the following steps:
a Add the partion names for the primary and mirror OCR to the
permissions.ini file. This file is located in the following directory:
/dell-oracle-deployment/scripts/
[ocr]
primary_ocr=
mirror_ocr1=
[vote]
vote1=
vote2=
vote3=
[asm]
asm1=
asm2=
For example, if the OCR and OCR mirror partitions are /dev/emcpowera1 and
/dev/emcpowera2 , then the permissions.ini would be modified as
follows:
[ocr]
primary_ocr=/dev/emcpowera1
mirror_ocr1=/dev/emcpowera2
