<DIV>Hello,</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV> Here is the case and what done till now :</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV> i have installed RHEL_ES_V3_update 4 on the two
nodes and the shared can be seen from the two nodes through
/dev/cciss/c0d0 i had configured each node and done with the packages
needed by oracle, then<BR>i had made two partitions on the shared each with
100M for using as Raw1 and Raw2 for the cluster suite quorum then i had
add them on the /etc/sysconfig/rawdevices file then i run
service rawdevices restart command and everything run ok, then i had installed
RedHat cluster suite update 4 on the two nodes and configured the raws
needed there . THEN and after that i had mailed the list about the
need of using the cluster suite to have a cluster running oracle RAC
10g Then the list has answered my question that i dont need
the cluster suite.<BR> <BR> So , i have continued and installed the
RedHat Global File System (GFS 6 ) update 4 on the two nodes and i have used the
documentation in configuring it .</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV> i have made another two partition on the shared for use for Oracle ,
and i have build the configuration files for GFS and after that and before
starting Oracle installation i tried to test shutting down one of the
nodes after mounting the two gfs partitions on the shared , then an error
message appeared about the Lock_gulm server the it is still running
and it still apears for a long time without shutting down even i power
them down from the power botton on the server .</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><BR> i dont understand the lock_gulm or the files of ccs
sonfiguration files cause i maybe bulid an error in any of them (i think the
fence file cause i didnot understand it ) .</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV> i will give you the files that i have build till now , and im using
two proliant ML250 servers and a shared of raid 5 disks remaing a 208.5 G of its
space ...... here is the files :</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV> the pool00.cfg for the first partition
on the shared (for using oracle) :</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>
poolname
pool00<BR>
minor 0 subpools
1<BR>
subpool 0 128 1
gfs_data<BR>
pooldevice 0 0 /dev/cciss/c0d0p5</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><BR> the pool01.cfg for the second partition
on the shared (for using oracle) :</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>
poolname
pool01<BR>
minor 1 subpools
1<BR>
subpool 0 128 1
gfs_data<BR>
pooldevice 0 0 /dev/cciss/c0d0p6 </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><BR> then i had done with the pool_tool command for
them and everything is ok.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><BR> then i had create a directory for
the ccs files on the home of the root :</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV> /root/clu</DIV>

<DIV> and i have put in the /root/clu the following ccs files
