linux创建裸磁盘,Linux上如何创建裸设备

之前好几个同事聊天的时候，说想自己装个RAC玩玩，怎么的也得两个节点吧，不行就整个虚拟机。VM team的同事干脆就用Oracle VM了。其实个人玩RAC也不是不可能，只要解决几个关键的问题就行了，比如双网卡，共享设备等。其中最关键的就是共享设备了，在一个独立硬盘上创建裸设备，作为OCR和Voting DISK甚至ASM的磁盘，下面就介绍一下，在Linux下面如何创建裸设备，也就是create raw device. 大致这么几个步骤：

1. Check iscsi has been autoenable;

using “/sbin/chkconfig –list|grep iscsi”. If it is enabled, using “/sbin/chkconfig –level 2345 iscsi on” to enable it.

2. using “fdisk -l ” to check the partition information;

“/sbin/fdisk -l /dev/sde”, and then use “fdisk” to create new partitions

3. Create “/etc/udev/devices/raw” directory if it does not exist;

4. Create “/dev/raw” directory if it does not exist;

5. Create new raw device on each node, using:

“mknod /etc/udev/devices/raw/name c 162 2”

And then change the device permissions;

6. Edit “/etc/sysconfig/rawdevices” to add new items referring to new partitions on each node; such as “/etc/udev/devices/raw/name /dev/b_name”;

7. run “/sbin/udevstart” and check whether new raw devices have been generate in “/etc/udev/devices/raw” and “/dev/raw/”;

8. Changt the mode and own of the raw devices under “/dev/” directory;

9. service rawdevices restart

至此，就基本可以了，注意OCR和VD只能建在raw device上。

多谢blue_prince指正：其实OCR和VOTING DISK不一定非要在祼设备上面不可，以OCFS或者共享的NFS上面也可以的，只是可靠性不如祼设备那么强而已
