RE: EXTERNAL: Re: RedHat 6, Oracle 11gr2, RAC using ASM....

Asmlib is depending on the kernel version and Oracle released their "own" kernel before the release of RH 6. So I'm not surprised that there is not yet an asmlib version for RH 6. I guess it will be released when Oracle certifies Redhat 6

Also, I'm still not convinced that asmlib has any real benefits.

Yes, ASMlib.  And yes, there are three RPMs for it.

It seems that it is only available with Oracle Unbreakable Linux, but it is not offered with Redhat 6. 

Are we being forced to use OUL?  Redhat 6 is not an option?

I don't think Red Hat 6 is certified yet. Which RPM is missing?

So I was just wondering if we are on the bleeding edge here....has anyone performed such an install?

Many thanks.
