Re: OL6 and RHEL6 on 11gR2....it's official.....

Implied by Niall's post, but not said explicitly, the UEK has the kernel module for ASMLib built into it, so you don't need the separate package anymore.

oracleasm : Not necessary as it is in UEK already.

oracleasm-support : Still needed. Available on your OL media (or public-yum) or for download from OTN.

oracleasmlib : Still needed. Available from the ULN yum repository or download from OTN. Not on the public-yum or on the DVD as it is not GPL. http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/server-storage/linux/downloads/index-088143.html

Now that OL6 is certified I would expect an number of new packages to appear in the next few weeks, including oracle-validated as well as oracleasmlib package for OL6 etc.

Cheers

Tim...
