    ============================================================== OCFS2 configuration

    ======================================================

    for ocfs2

    ocfs2-tools-1.2.7-1.el4
    ocfs2-2.6.9-89.0.0.0.1.EL-1.2.9-1.el4
    ocfs2console-1.2.7-1.el4

    note these are for oel 4.8 for different os refer to this link

    http://oss.oracle.com/projects/ocfs2/

    chkconfig --list o2cb

    now login as root n then run it if u get a error of cluster stack not starting up

    To run the utility, start an X Window session and log in as root:

    londonl # ocfs2console

    Select Cluster > Configure Nodes. If a cluster configuration file does not already
    exist, then

    a new file called /etc/ocfs2/cluster.conf will be created with a default cluster


    name of ocfs2

    add nodes n then ok it .

    save it

    you can propagate the configuration to the other nodes by

    selecting Cluster > Propagate Configuration from the submenu

    check on node 2 on this location to verify that cluster.conf has been creatd

    as root user run

    /etc/init.d/o2cb offline ocfs2


    /etc/init.d/o2cb unload
    /etc/init.d/o2cb configure

    Put load in boot to yes and dead threshold to 61

    Once the ocfs2 has been configure then you can format the partition
    then try mounting the ocfs2 drive

    mount -t ocfs2 -o datavolume,nointr /dev/sdb1 /ocfs

    and add the following line to the /etc/fstab to mount the files system on boot

    /dev/sdb1 /ocfs ocfs2 _netdev,datavolume,nointr 0 0

    /sbin/mounted.ocfs2 /dev/sdbl

    ============================================================== o2cb
    ========================================

    0CFS2 has its own cluster stack called o2cb. This stack includes a number of
    components including

    a node manager, heartbeat service, and distributed lock manager.

    The /etc/in it/o2cb script performs most 0CFS2 management operations, many of which

    require the cluster to be online.

    ============================================================= configure 0CFS2


    ====================================

    do it on all the nodes

    /etc/init.d/o2cb unload

    londonl # /etc/init/o2cb configure

    again dont hit enter rather type in the values

    To use the 0CFS2 file system, the o2cb modules must be loaded. If you have not
    configured the

    modules to load automatically upon system start-up,

    ============================================== load them manually using the


    following ========================================
    londonl # /etc/init.d/o2cb load

    every thing should be ok

    to unload it

    /etc/init.d/o2cb unload

    ================================================== online ; offline


    =================================

    To bring cluster ocf s2 online, use

    londonl # /etc/init.d/o2cb online ocfs2

    To bring cluster ocf s2 offline, use

    londonl # /etc/init.d/o2cb offline ocfs2

    =================================== restart, stop status the cluster,


    =================================================

    londonl # /etc/init.d/o2cb start ocfs2

    The o2cb start command loads the modules and then brings the cluster file system
    online. To
    stop the 0CFS2 service, use

    stop a cluster

    londonl # /etc/init.d/o2cb stop ocfs2

    To check the
    current status of a RAC cluster, you can use the following command:

    to check the status

    londonl # /etc/init,d/o2cb status


    ================================================= Formatting an 0CFS2 Partition
    =================================

    To format a volume using ocf s2module, select Tasks > Format on the main menu.

    or to create it with a label

    londonl # mkfs.ocfs2 -L "u02" /dev/sdal

    ====================================================== mounting the ocfs2 system


    =========================================

    You can also use the mount command, specifying the device and mount directory, as
    in the following
    example:

    londonl # mount -t ocfs2 /dev/sdal /u02

    If the volume contains the Oracle Cluster Registry (OCR), voting disk file,
    datafiles, redo logs,
    archive logs, or control files, then it must be mounted with the -o data volume
    mount option to
    ensure that the files are opened with the odirect flag, which specifies direct I/O:

    mount -t ocfs2 -o datavolume,nointr /dev/sdb1 /ocfs

    and add the following line to the /etc/fstab to mount the files system on boot

    /dev/sdb1 /ocfs ocfs2 _netdev,datavolume,nointr 0 0

    You can specify a volume label when you format the 0CFS2 file system using the mkf
    s. ocf s
    command, as in the following example:
    londonl # mkfs.ocfs2 -b 4k -C 32K -L "u02" -N 4 / dev/sdal

    The 0CFS2 file system can now be mounted manually by specifying the mount point and
    the
    volume label:

    londonl # mount -t ocfs2 -L u02 /u02

    To mount the 0CFS2 file system automatically using the volume label, add an entry
    to
    /etc/f stab as in the following example:

    LABEL=u02 /u02 ocfs2 datavolume,_netdev 0 0

    The 0CFS2 file system can then be mounted using the following command:

    londonl # mount /u02

    Alternatively, you can mount the 0CFS2 file system using the label

    londonl # mount -L u02

    ===================================================== mounted.ocfs2
    =====================================================

    Use mounted. ocf s2 to check the nodes currently mounting a specific device.
    Options include -d,
    which performs a quick detect, and -f (the default), which performs a full detect.
    For example, by
    default the mounted. ocf s2 command returns a list of nodes:

    /sbin/mounted.ocfs2 /dev/sdbl

    =========================================== Tuning an 0CFS2 Partition


    ==================================================

    You can use the tuning tools to increase the number of


    node slots, change the volume label, and increase the size of the journal file. The
    o2cb cluster service
    must be running to perform these operations.

    You can increase the number of node slots using the tunef s. ocf s2 tool.

    The volume must be unmounted on all nodes to perform this operation. For example,

    to increase the number of node slots to eight for the volume assigned to device
    /dev/sda2, use the following command:

    londonl # tunefs.ocfs2 -N 8 /dev/sda2

    Changing number of node slots from 4 to 8

    This command creates one journal for each additional node. As in the following
    example, you
    can also change the volume label using the tunef s. ocf s2 tool:

    londonl # tunefs.ocfs2 -L newlabel /dev/sda2

    Changing volume label from ora_crs_home to newlabel

    You can also change the journal size using the tunef s. ocf s2 tool. You can extend
    the journal for
    each of the assigned node slots as follows:

    londonl # tunefs.ocfs2 -3 size=64M /dev/sda2
