Oracleasm now has its own repo that can be added into RHEL

Latest response

Just a heads up.

I went to upgrade Oracleasm on a number of Oracle instances that run on RHEL 5 and Oracle has now set it up so that you can add a repo and install/remove Oracleasm packages via Yum instead of having the download them.

More information here: http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/server-storage/linux/downloads/rhel5-084877.html

The only tip that I've discovered is that from the cli, say if your Kernel is: 2.6.18-409.el5, then from the CLI you type the following:

yum install oracleasm-2.6.18-409.el5

I couldn't get it to work as they have listed on the website.
