Symptoms

Command /etc/init.d/oracleasm listdisks works on LVM dm-* devices until a reboot/restart. Below is the sequence of actions to reproduce the issue.

Note: this article is only applicable when using ASMLib on LVM-managed devices.

1. Environment

# uname -a
Linux host 2.6.18-53.el5 #1 SMP Wed Oct 10 16:34:19 EDT 2007 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

# rpm -qa |grep oracleasm
oracleasm-support-2.0.4-1.el5
oracleasm-2.6.18-53.el5-2.0.4-1.el5
oracleasmlib-2.0.3-1.el5

2. Create ASM disk

[root@oel5a ~]#/etc/init.d/oracleasm createdisk DATA2 /dev/oraasm/oraasm-2
Marking disk "/dev/oraasm/oraasm-2" as an ASM disk: 'DATA2

[root@oel5a ~]# /etc/init.d/oracleasm listdisks
DATA2
VOL1

3. Restart oracleasm service and the volume DATA2 was gone

[root@oel5a ~]# /etc/init.d/oracleasm restart
Unmounting ASMlib driver filesystem: [ OK ]
Unloading module "oracleasm": [ OK ]
Loading module "oracleasm": [ OK ]
Mounting ASMlib driver filesystem: [ OK ]
Scanning system for ASM disks: [ OK ]

[root@oel5a ~]# /etc/init.d/oracleasm listdisks
VOL1

[root@oel5a ~]# /sbin/blkid | grep oracleasm
/dev/mapper/oraasm-oraasm-2: LABEL="DATA2" TYPE="oracleasm"
/dev/sdd1: LABEL="VOL1" TYPE="oracleasm"

[root@oel5a ~]# /etc/init.d/oracleasm querydisk /dev/oraasm/oraasm-2
Disk "/dev/oraasm/oraasm-2" is marked an ASM disk with the label "DATA2"

[root@oel5a ~]# more /proc/partitions

[root@oel5a ~]# lvdisplay /dev/oraasm/oraasm-2

[root@oel5a ~]# ls -l /dev/dm*
ls: /dev/dm*: No such file or directory

Cause

The oracleasm scans /proc/partitions and expects devices to be available in /dev. If the device doesn't exist in /dev it will fail to open the device. RHEL/OL5 does not create dm-xx devices in /dev by default.

Solution

Comment out the following line in file /etc/udev/rules.d/50-udev.rules.
In latest versions of RHEL/OL5, the udev rule has been moved to file /etc/udev/rules.d/90-dm.rules.

#KERNEL=="dm-[0-9]*", ACTION=="add", OPTIONS+="ignore_device"

Reboot and the problem should be gone.
