[Oracle RAC 12.1 Installation on Oracle Linux 6.7 (ISCSI + ASM)]: ASMLIB installation on cluster nodes

In Oracle Linux 6, the oracleasm kernel driver is built into the UEK kernel and therefore does not require installation.

It is necessary from the Oracle website:

http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/server-storage/linux/asmlib/rhel6-1940776.html

Download: oracleasmlib-*.x86_64.rpm

# cd /tmp
# wget http://download.oracle.com/otn_software/asmlib/oracleasmlib-2.0.4-1.el6.x86_64.rpm

# yum install -y \
oracleasm \
oracleasm-support \
oracleasmlib-2.0.4-1.el6.x86_64.rpm

Check installed packages:

# rpm -qa | grep oracleasm
oracleasm-support-2.1.8-1.el6.x86_64
oracleasmlib-2.0.4-1.el6.x86_64

If using Centos, RedHat and not OEL, you also need to install:.

# yum install -y \
kmod-oracleasm.x86_64
