I’d like to iterate again that this post isn’t an endorsement for ASM Filter Driver, but since the documentation was a little unclear I thought I’d write up how I got to a working installation. The base release, 19.3.0 does not support ASMFD (or ACFS for that matter) out of the box. As per My Oracle Support (MOS) certification matrix, DocID 1369107.1, Oracle 19.4.0 is the first release to support ASM Filter Driver (ASMFD). Upgrading to the latest UEK 5 doesn’t change this message as you just saw, but was a necessity in my case anyway as you can see later. The GUI version of the installer protects you from the mistake though. Which is easy to run into since gridSetup.sh shipped with 19.3 doesn’t validate this for you when running in silent mode. The challenge installing Oracle Restart 19c together with ASMFD is lack of support in the base release: bin]#. The challenge of using ASMFD with Oracle Restart and UEK5 This is a fresh installation, no upgrade, no ASMLib has ever been in use.The first partition of /dev/vd are to be used as ASM disks for +DATA.All other packages up to date as of April 1st 2020.My lab environment consists of a KVM VM using the virtio driver.
The environment hasn’t changed massively compared to the RHCK edition of this post, except of course for the kernel used:
Some components I used to put the post together aren’t the latest and greatest, please adjust accordingly. I also forgot about this post waiting to be published in my drafts folder, it should have gone out early April. Since the approach you are about to read isn’t explicitly covered in the documentation I suggest you ask Oracle Support whether it is supported before using this outside a playground/lab environment. Update 210812: I successfully used the same approach for Oracle Linux 7.9/UEK 6. As promised in an earlier post here are my notes about installing Oracle Restart with ASM Filter Driver (ASMFD) 19c on Oracle Linux 7 using UEK 5.
