If you are using ocfs2, then ASM and ASMlib are not required. ASM uses raw
disks and ASMlib provides ASM a way to easily recognize said disks.

Hello,
I am attempting to setup an Oracle RAC using these instructions:
http://www.oracle.com/technology/pub/articles/hunter_rac10gr2_iscsi_2.html#17
I am running Fedora 9 with kernel = 2.6.25-14.fc9.i686
I realize this is probably an “unsupported” version, but it’s the only
version that I could get to work with my firewire setup, so I cannot
change the kernel.
ocfs2 is up and running, and now I need to install ASMLib 2.0, but it
appears that there is no rpm distribution for this kernel. Therefore, I
am attempting to build my own, from the source files,
oracleasm-2.0.4.tar.gz. After unzipping and untarring, I run
./configure and it seems to run fine (see below), but when I try to run
make install it bombs with an error no rule to make target
`oracleasm.ko', needed by `install-oracleasm'. Stop.
I don’t have any experience building rpms from source, so any explicit
instructions you can give me would be much appreciated. Also, does this
source file contain everything I need in order to build the kernel
driver, userspace library, and driver support files, or do I need
separate source files for those? Please forgive my ignorance, as I am
new to this.
Thanks in advance for any help you can give me.
Regards,
Tina
