Database Smart Flash Cache Support
Database Smart Flash Cache is supported on Solaris and Oracle Linux only. For release 11.2.0.1 on Oracle Linux, you must install the 8974084 patch.

Refer to the installation guides for the preinstallation requirements.
Review the following sections for information about issues that affect Oracle Database installation, configuration, and upgrade:
If ASM_DISKSTRING attribute is set to the default empty "" string and if there is more than one path to the disk, then Oracle Automatic Storage Management fails to detect the disks while installing Oracle Grid Infrastructure on a standalone server. The following error message appears:
ORA-15020: discovered duplicate ASM disk "HPISIHA_0000"
Workaround:
Use the command srvctl modify asm -d diskstring to set the ASM_DISKSTRING attribute to a valid directory path. You may also change the permission on the directory path of the devices in such a way that all the disks are accessed from the same directory path.
This issue is tracked with Oracle bug 9117353.
The following section contains information about issues related to Oracle Database 11g and associated products:
Oracle Universal Installer does not copy the translated help files to Oracle home directory when you select the Spanish or French language.
Workaround:
On the Select Product Languages page, select both the Latin American Spanish and Spanish to get the help files translated in Spanish; and select both the Canadian French and French for the translated help files in French.
This issue is tracked with Oracle bug 9147106.
Oracle Management Service provides incorrect reverse ping command with Oracle Enterprise Manager Database Control. The emoms.properties file shows:
emdrep.ping.pingCommand=/usr/sbin/ping <hostname>
Workaround:
Change the property in the emoms.properties file to:
emdrep.ping.pingCommand=/usr/sbin/ping <hostname> -n 3 -m 30
Note:
On all the computers using IPv6, you must specifyping6 command (or an equivalent IPv6 command) instead of ping command.This issue is tracked with Oracle bug 9211800.
Oracle Universal Installer does not find the clientinstaller_help.map file and fails to load the help pages for locales other than English.
Workaround:
Set LANG=C before running Oracle Universal Installer. This changes the installer locale to English and the help content is available.
This issue is tracked with Oracle bug 9474214.
After you install the Oracle Database, the SQL Developer might fail to start and the following error message appears:
/bin/bash: bad interpreter: No such file or directory
Workaround:
Open the sqldeveloper.sh file in a text editor and change #!/bin/bash to the actual location of Bash. For example:
#!/usr/local/bin/bash
This issue is tracked with Oracle bug 9335876.
The following content is specific to release 11.2.0.2:
Refer to the installation guides for the preinstallation requirements.
Review the following sections for information about issues that affect Oracle Database installation, configuration, and upgrade:
Relinking fails on 32-bit client installations because the relink script tries to load 64-bit libraries.
Workaround:
After installation, manually remove the -d64 flag from JRE_MEMORY_OPTIONS in the $ORACLE_HOME/oui/oraparam.ini file.
This issue is tracked with Oracle bug 10027801.
Oracle Automatic Storage Management Configuration Assistant attempts to filter out disks that are in use by the operating system's logical volume manager (LVM). The mechanism used to check the character device files from their default location, /dev/rdisk/*, may fail if the Oracle grid user does not have read permissions on the corresponding block device. In rare cases, that failure can result in Automatic Storage Management Configuration Assistant creating an Oracle ASM disk group on top of an existing LVM volume group, corrupting the LVM content.
Note:
There is no risk of this failure if the character device files referenced by Oracle ASM have been created in an alternate location. For example:/gridbase/asmdisks
Workaround:
On servers where the system administrator has explicitly granted read/write access to any /dev/rdisk/* files for use by Oracle ASM, enable read permissions on the corresponding block device. The ownership of the block device need not be changed. For example, if disk11 is available to Oracle ASM, a listing of the device files for that disk usually shows the following:
$ ls -l /dev/*disk/disk11 brw-r----- 1 bin sys 5 0x000001 Apr 21 2009 /dev/disk/disk11 crw-rw---- 1 grid oinstall 132 0x00001c Apr 21 2009 /dev/rdisk/disk11
As the root user, enable read access to the block device with the following command:
chmod a+r /dev/disk/disk11
This results in:
$ ls –l /dev/*disk/disk11 brw-r--r-- 1 bin sys 5 0x000001 Apr 21 2009 /dev/disk/disk11 crw-rw---- 1 grid oinstall 132 0x000001 Apr 21 2009 /dev/rdisk/disk11
This issue is tracked with Oracle bug 9956769.
When you upgrade from Oracle Database release 10.x or 11.1 to 11.2 release using the Oracle ASM discovery path, /dev/rdsk/* as default, ensure that the corresponding /dev/rdisk* disks use the same owners and group permissions as the legacy device special file, /dev/rdsk/* disks. Otherwise, the database may fail to start.
Run the following command to map the legacy device special file disks and persistent device special file disks:
ioscan -m dsf
Based on the mapping result, change the permissions in the corresponding persistent device special file disks.
This issue is tracked with Oracle bug 10148343.
When installing Oracle Grid Infrastructure for a Cluster, the root.sh script fails on the second node with the following errors in the ocssd.log:
CSSD][105]clssnmLocalJoinEvent: takeover aborted due to cluster member node found on disk CRS-5818:Aborted command 'start for resource: ora.cssd 1 1' for resource 'ora.cssd'
Solution:
Servers with the latest 10 Gigabit Ethernet adapter require revision B.11.31.1009.01 or later of the 10GigEthr-02 software bundle.
Run swlist 10GigEthr-02 command to identify the current version on your HP server. If it is older than the above mentioned version, then enter 10GigEthr-02 in the Search field and download the latest software from the HP site:
https://h20392.www2.hp.com/portal/swdepot/index.do
This issue is tracked with Oracle bug 10175794.
The summary chart on the Oracle Enterprise Manager Cluster Performance page does not show any data.
Workaround:
Perform the following steps:
Stop Oracle Enterprise Manager Database Control.
Add the following to the properties file, $ORACLE_HOME/host_dbuniquename/sysman/config/emoms.properties:
oracle.sysman.db.rac.useRemoteCollection=false
Restart the Oracle Enterprise Manager Database Control
This issue is tracked with Oracle bug 10129539.
