Hello,
My environment is Fedora 7 (kernel 2.6.22.5-76.fc7) and I have oracle 10g (v
10.2.0.1 32bit) installed.
I have 03 disks installed. They are:
/dev/sda
/dev/sdb (unused)
/dev/sdc (unused)
The device /dev/sda is being used by Fedora7.
The other 2 devices ("b" and "c") I want use them as ASM. They are not
partitioned yet. Just visible to fedora when "fdisk -l" command is issued.
To make them available as ASM disks... I have to download the utilities:
==> oracleasm-support
==> oracleasmlib
==> oracleasm
As oracle does not support Fedora7... how can I go on? I mean, how can I get
oracleasm/oracleasmlib/oracleasm-support? No way?
Well... if ASM is not possible with Fedora7... any suggestion to implement
shared disk architecture? Should I use OCFS2? Is it possible on Fedora7? I
guess it is the same case as ASM (no way to download version to F7).
No way for Fedora7...(to create shared disk architecture)?
Also, on oracle site I saw ASMLib source to download and compile. A debian linux user has already tried to compile with errors. The bug is still in open status. And Oracle says at this site/page that oracle provide support only for rpm created by oracle.
Thank you!

I was never successful in creating asm disk on Fedora. You can try Oracle Linux instead. It has packages for ASM. You can download it from http://oracle.com/linux

Hello Vigyan,
Thank you for your reply and attention.
I realize that ASM is an oracle technology.
I realize that ASMlib is provide by oracle only to the kernel versions supported by oracle.
Then I realize that I would never install ASMlib on F7 and never will have ASM on F7 also.
Then I have to used some linux like those supported by oracle.
Regards,
mson77
