Failure while formatting raw device for RAC installation
Posted by Kamran Agayev A. on March 17th, 2011
Today, while configuring 2 node RAC on VMware ESX server, I got the following error afer clusterware installation:
[code]
Creating OCR keys for user ‘root’, privgrp ‘root’..
Operation successful.
Now formatting voting device: /dev/raw/raw3
Failure writing offset 1766400 in voting device (raw3)
Failed to initialize Oracle Cluster Registry for cluster
[/code]
After some investigation, we’ve found that the problem is caused by dividing a raw device into two different partitions and the failure occurs after formatting the device. So we deleted those partitions and combined them into one partition and the error fixed.

Hi,
i have installed vmware on windows xp.Redhat linux AS4 is installed in vmware.

I tried few (http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/server-storage/linux/downloads/rhel4-092650.html), but they are not working except this oracleasm-support-2.1.7-1.el4.i386.rpm
