6.4 Cluster Verification Utility

This section lists the issues with Cluster Verification Utility on Oracle Enterprise

Linux 4.0, Oracle Enterprise Linux 5.0, Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4.0, Red Hat

Enterprise Linux 5.0, and SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 9 and 10:

■ Cluster Verification Utility (CVU) does not support shared checks for raw

disks used for Oracle Cluster File System version 2 on Oracle Enterprise

Linux 4.0, Oracle Enterprise Linux 5.0, Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4.0, Red Hat

Enterprise Linux 5.0, and SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 9 and 10.

■ Cluster Verification Utility (CVU) does not detect SMP-Kernel rpms for the

hosts and displays the "Kernel check failed" message. In verbose mode, the

status for kernel is displayed as "missing".

This issue is tracked with Oracle bug 4685951.

■ The preinstallation stage verification checks for Oracle Clusterware and

Oracle Real Applications Clusters and reports missing packages. Ignore the

following missing packages and continue with the installation:

compat-gcc-7.3-2.96.128

compat-gcc-c++-7.3-2.96.128

compat-libstdc++-7.3-2.96.128

compat-libstdc++-devel-7.3-2.96.128

6.5 Removing Metrics for Wait Classes Removes Them Permanently

Do not remove the key values for the wait class metrics. Doing so removes them

permanently and currently there is no easy way to recover them.

This issue is tracked with Oracle bug 4602952.

6.6 Support for 64-Bit JDBC

For Oracle Database 10g release 2 on Linux x86-64, 64-bit JDBC (using JDK 5) is

supported.

6.7 Patch for Oracle Clusterware Configuration with Voting Disk on

Network Attached Storage

To resolve Oracle Clusterware configuration issue when voting disk is on

Network Attached Storage, you need to apply the patch tracked through Oracle

bug 4697432.

6.8 SRVCTL and VIPCA Utilities Set the LD_ASSUME_KERNEL

Parameter

The SRVCTL and VIPCA utilities shipped with Oracle Database 10g release 2 and

Oracle Clusterware software set the environmental variable

LD_ASSUME_KERNEL. On SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 10, because the older

Linux threads API has been removed from GLIBC, setting this parameter causes

the SRVCTL and VIPCA utilities to exit with the following error:

/opt/oracle/crs/jdk/jre/bin/java:

error while loading shared libraries:

libpthread.so.0: cannot open shared object file:

No such file or directory
