That is exactly what our problem is. It isn't supported...and we can't afford to not have this system unsupported.
Oracle support told us that the supported configuration is CLVM with GFS, but GFS costs money. So, we're looking for the solution with OCFS2.
Apparently, our version of OCFS2 needed to be patched.
