In order to install asm related packages for OEL 5.7 I have registered my system to Unbreakable Linux Network (ULN). For OEL
5 up2date --register command is used. If
you are using OEL 6 uln_register is used.
# up2date --register (OEL 5)
# uln_register (OEL 6)
Do not forget , you must have your server has access to internet
to register itself on ULN and of course valid ULN account.
After
typing up2date --register you will be
asked to enter your ULN uid , pwd and CSI
The up2date will collect your system information and this information will be used for system
profile.
Then up2date will collect installed packages and associate then with related system.
On
last screen collected information is sent to ULN to register.
Asmlib RPM is part of “Oracle Software for Oracle Linux”
channel.System must be subscribed to related channel.After login into ULN web site (linux.oracle.com) go to
systems tab and select the system you will subscribe. By using manage subscriptions you can select “Oracle
Software for Oracle linux 5 (x86_64)” channel to save .Now you can download all
asmlib software directly from ULN.
To install asm related softwares following command is
executed for Oracle Linux 5 and older.
# up2date -i oracleasm-support oracleasmlib oracleasm-`uname
-r`
if you have Oracle Linux 6
# yum install oracleasm-support oracleasmlib oracleasm-`uname -r`
