Let’s fix up “Oracleasm configure fails with SELinux enable” with the help of the following help.
[root@ oracledb1~]# /etc/init.d/oracleasm configure Configuring the Oracle ASM library driver. This will configure the on-boot properties of the Oracle ASM library driver. The following questions will determine whether the driver is loaded on boot and what permissions it will have. The current values will be shown in brackets ('[]'). Hitting without typing an answer will keep that current value. Ctrl-C will abort. Default user to own the driver interface []: grid Default group to own the driver interface []: asmadmin Start Oracle ASM library driver on boot (y/n) [n]: y Scan for Oracle ASM disks on boot (y/n) [y]: y Writing Oracle ASM library driver configuration: done Initializing the Oracle ASMLib driver: [FAILED]
Check the status
[root@oracledb1~]# /usr/sbin/sestatus SELinux status: enabled SELinuxfs mount: /selinux Current mode: enforcing Mode from config file: enforcing Policy version: 24 Policy from config file: targeted
Change SELINUX=disabled in /etc/sysconfig/selinux file and save it. Reboot the server.
[root@oracledb1~]# /usr/sbin/sestatus SELinux status: disabled
Run getenforce to confirm that SELinux is disabled:
[root@oracledb1~]# /usr/sbin/getenforce Disables Disabled
Retry to configure the asm driver
[root@oracledb1~]# /etc/init.d/oracleasm configure Configuring the Oracle ASM library driver. This will configure the on-boot properties of the Oracle ASM library driver. The following questions will determine whether the driver is loaded on boot and what permissions it will have. The current values will be shown in brackets ('[]'). Hitting without typing an answer will keep that current value. Ctrl-C will abort. Default user to own the driver interface [grid]: grid Default group to own the driver interface [asmadmin]: asmadmin Start Oracle ASM library driver on boot (y/n) [y]: y Scan for Oracle ASM disks on boot (y/n) [y]: y Writing Oracle ASM library driver configuration: done Initializing the Oracle ASMLib driver: [ OK ] Scanning the system for Oracle ASMLib disks: [ OK ]
