Since you mentioned "sales":

I would be pleased to get some helping hand with regard to raw devices then:

(see RE: RAC on Linux Cluster, Message-ID: <ah6tgd$spt$04$1_at_news.t-online.com>)

Please comment the suggested prodecure (I start with two nodes)

The following tablespaces are needed:

system (10GB)

indx (50GB)
temp (10GB)
user (50GB)

tools (10GB)
undo_nodeX (10GB)

control1 (10GB)
control2 (10GB)
control3 (10GB)

redo1_nodeX (10GB)
redo2_nodeX (10GB)

(that's 8 tablespaces on-off, 3 per node, 2 nodes make 6+8 = 14 tablespaces, size = 160 GB + 2 * 3 * 10 GB = 220 GB)

I would do it like:

on node1:

fdisk /dev/sda

create first 4 partitions primary
then one big extended
then therein 14-4 logical partitions

(this creates devices /dev/sda1 ... /dev/sda14

on every node:

create special files for every tablespace

mknod /dev/system.dbf c 162 1
...

bind the block device to the raw device

e.g.:

raw /dev/system.dbf /dev/sda/sda1

instead, write the config file (suse, package rawio)

system.dbf:sda1
indx.dbf:sda2
...

edit /etc/rc.config

ACTIVATE_RAW_DEV=yes

chown oracle /dev/system.dbf

etc.

Thanks in advance,

Norbert
