HP 11.11 Oracle 10g Grid Agent install/Async drive configuration

[Matthew Ghofrani]

After installing the agent, once I bring up the database, in bdump directory I get errors referring to "Async driver not configured : errno=19". But I do have /dev/async device file :
# ll /dev/async
crw-rw-rw- 1 ora10g oinstall 101 0x000100 Apr 29 2005 /dev/async

I also have /etc/privgroup set correctly:
# ll /etc/privgroup
-rw-r----- 1 root sys 85 Oct 23 14:45 /etc/privgroup

[/ora10g2/app/oracle/admin/ism2/bdump]
# cat /etc/privgroup
dba9i RTSCHED RTPRIO MLOCK
oinstall RTSCHED RTPRIO MLOCK
dba10g RTSCHED RTPRIO MLOCK

Any ideas as why?

Shalom,

There should be more information in /var/adm/syslog/syslog.log on this.

I agree your configuration is correct.

ARe ncessary OS patches installed?

Yes there is nothing in the syslog.

Did you enable the suncdsk driver in the kernel ? I think there are 2 of them, try enabling the asyncdsk first. Let me know if it's called another way.

I do not see any suncdsk but if you are referring to fs_async, I ran into another case which stated:

"Oracle does not recommend setting fs_async to '1'."
