I just checked and RH6 is not listed as certified with Oracle 11gr2. Like I said were on the bleeding edge here.
We were under the impression that ASMlib is required for a Oracle/RAC/ASM configuration. But I guess not based on some recent emails???

Not at all. RHEL6 is not yet certified (I think) but asmlib is a convenience for which there are alternatives. It isn't required - even for ASM. I suspect shortly after OEL 6 arrives (if it hasn't yet) then asmlib will appear for that version (and work on RHEL with the same kernel).

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?

A DBA in our group that is installing Oracle 11gr2 on RH6 in a RAC config with ASM mentioned to me that there is a missing rpm for ASM. He said he could not find that ASM rpm but is still looking.
So I was just wondering if we are on the bleeding edge here....has anyone performed such an install?
Many thanks.
