SPFILE on raw
Thursday 03 July, 2008 - 09:38
When I created the ASM database on the padstow cluster, I defined the spfile to be on the /dev/raw/raw3
device.
This appearred to work despite the ownership being root:oinstall
with permissions 660. Looks like oracle was able to write to the device okay via its group membership.
I changed the ownership anyway to oracle:dba
to be consistent with the ASM devices.
The size of the /dev/raw/raw3
device is 256M (same as the OCR disk).
