Hi Folks:
Please pardon my ignorance as i am DBA and not that intimate with the workings of openvz kernel.
I have published my efforts before with the following howto
http://wiki.openvz.org/Oracle_10g_VE
I am hoping to do the same for an Oracle 11g RAC.
I have been trying to implement an Oracle 11g cluster (RAC) on openvz. I have created two containers and all the requirements for
Oracle RAC are being met (as reported by Oracle Cluster verification Utility).
There is the /proc/swaps problem though which i have been unable to find a work around.
As have been reported in several posts like this one
( http://forum.openvz.org/index.php?t=tree&goto=26398& &srch=%2Fproc%2Fswaps#msg_26398)
Oracle 11g installer simply refuses to start without /proc/swaps.
Doing an strace on the installer reveals its doing a cat on /proc/swaps.
I tried fooling the installer by replacing /bin/cat with a script that returned the contents of /proc/swaps from the HN, but that did not work either.
I was hoping someone here can help me create a temporary /proc/swaps solution so that the installer would finish.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
thx
