Topic

New kmod-oracleasm package is now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.

Description

Oracle Automated Storage Management (ASM) is a data volume manager for Oracle databases. ASMLib is an optional utility that can be used on Linux systems to manage Oracle ASM devices. ASMLib consists of the following components:

  • kmod-oracleasm (an open-source (GPL) kernel module package)
  • oracleasm-support (an open-source (GPL) utilities package)
  • oracleasmlib (a proprietary library package)

ASM features and functionality are available without ASMLib. In addition, the use of ASMLib does not affect database performance.

This enhancement update provides the kmod-oracleasm package with "Retpolines" code sequences to Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6. (BZ#1630539)

Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 customers who use ASMLib can obtain the other two
components, oracleasmlib and oracleasm-support, using the instructions here:

https://access.redhat.com/knowledge/solutions/315643

Note that Red Hat is continuing to develop fully open-source alternatives
to ASMLib. Red Hat has provided a reference architecture for Oracle Real
Application Clusters (RAC) using upstream-accepted technologies such as the
dm-multipath utility and the udev utility. This reference architecture is
available at:

https://access.redhat.com/knowledge/articles/216093

Additional information regarding side-channel CPU cache timing attack
mitigation in Red Hat Enterprise Linux is available at:

https://access.redhat.com/articles/3311301#retpoline-kernels-2

All users who require kmod-oracleasm are advised to install these new packages.

Solution

Before applying this update, make sure all previously released errata
relevant to your system have been applied.
