Installing OCFS2

You can use Oracle Cluster File System 2 (OCFS2) with Oracle Grid Infrastructure. However, you are not required to use OCFS2.

OCFS2 is a POSIX-compliant general purpose shared disk cluster file system for Linux. OCFS2 is supported for this release only with Oracle Linux.

An OCFS2 installation consists of two parts, the kernel module and the tools module. The supported version of the OCFS2 kernel module depends on the version of Unbreakable Enterprise Kernel available with Oracle Linux.

1. Run the following command to install the latest version of the OCFS2 kernel module:

   # dnf install kernel-uek

2. Run the following command to install the OCFS2 tools module after you install the OCFS2 kernel module:

   # dnf install ocfs2–tools

   Note:

   • Each cluster node should run the same version of OCFS2 modules and a compatible version of Unbreakable Enterprise Kernel.
   • OCFS2 is not supported on Linux for ARM (aarch64).
