UDEV management of RAC shared storage

Background:

Operation system: centos 6.7 Oracle version:11.2.0.1

Operating steps:

1. Ensure that all nodes of RAC cluster has install udev.

[root@11gnode1 ~]# rpm -qa|grep udev

udev-147-2.63.el6.x86_64

2. Obtain UUID of each block device through scsi_id command. Assume that the LUN sdb-sde

already exists on the system.

[root@11gnode1 rules.d]# for i in b c d e ;

> do

> echo “sd$i” “`scsi_id -g -u /dev/sd$i` “;

> done

sdb 36000c2934ddf461ceb40ca28aad861b0

sdc 36000c291d9327fded9572349b484867f

sdd 36000c29b6ed0200b4066a9ecfa4704f4

sde 36000c297890e12b9d2e37430a2fb09f3

3. Create and condfigure UDEV Rules

[root@11gnode1 ~]# cd /etc/udev/rules.d

create 99-oracle-asmdevices.rules

[root@11gnode1 rules.d]# touch /etc/udev/rules.d/99-oracle-asmdevices.rules

[root@11gnode1 rules.d]# cat /etc/udev/rules.d/99-oracle-asmdevices.rules

KERNEL==”sd*”, BUS==”scsi”, PROGRAM==”/sbin/scsi_id –whitelisted –replace-whitespace

–device=/dev/$name”,RESULT==”36000c2934ddf461ceb40ca28aad861b0″, NAME=”vol1″, OWNER=”grid”,

GROUP=”asmadmin”,

MODE=”0660″

GROUP=”asmadmin”,

MODE=”0660″

4. Duplicate this rules file to other node.

[root@11gnode1 rules.d]# scp 99-oracle-asmdevices.rules 10.100.25.9:/etc/udev/rules.d

[email protected]’s password:

99-oracle-asmdevices.rules 100% 851 0.8KB/s 00:00

5. restart udev service on all ondes

[root@11gnode1 ~]# start_udev

Starting udev: [ OK ]

6. Check permission of all shared devices.

node1:

[root@11gnode1 ~]# ls -l /dev/vol*

brw-rw—-. 1 grid asmadmin 8, 16 Feb 22 00:43 /dev/vol1

brw-rw—-. 1 grid asmadmin 8, 32 Feb 22 00:43 /dev/vol2

brw-rw—-. 1 grid asmadmin 8, 48 Feb 22 00:43 /dev/vol3

brw-rw—-. 1 grid asmadmin 8, 64 Feb 22 00:43 /dev/vol4

node2:

[root@11gnode2 ~]# ls -l /dev/vol*

brw-rw—-. 1 grid asmadmin 8, 16 Feb 22 01:02 /dev/vol1

brw-rw—-. 1 grid asmadmin 8, 32 Feb 22 01:02 /dev/vol2

brw-rw—-. 1 grid asmadmin 8, 48 Feb 22 01:02 /dev/vol3

brw-rw—-. 1 grid asmadmin 8, 64 Feb 22 01:02 /dev/vol4
