Alexandra, You could use only CRS and ext3 instead of ocfs2 for this kind of use. You would need to register a script to force umount the filesystem on the primary node and mount it on the node you are failing over to, it would be nice to be able to check if the filesystem is mounted before atempting to mount it, but I am not sure on how to do this)
Are you using a cross-over cable for the private interconnect?

We have got an issur here and opened a SR at Metalink but until now, we got no useful information in solving our problem. SR-Number is 6855815.994... We wanted to protect 9i Single-Instance Databases with 10g Clusterware following the third-party-tool approach. There are no RAC-databases involved. But we want to achieve high availability as the databases are business critical systems. We want to make the systems able to relocate to another machine in case of failure to keep downtimes low... To achieve this we want to use OCFS2 for the filesystem. Relocate is done by script with help of CRS. So we took two systems (byaz05 and byaz10) and installed the following software: 10g CRS (10.2.0.3) and Oracle Software 9.2.0.8 and OCFS2 1.2.8 We found the following Metalinknotes and adjusted the heartbeat and timeouts for OCFS2: Metalink Note 395878.1: Heartbeat/Voting/Quorum Related Timeout Configuration for Linux, OCFS2, RAC Stack to avoid unnessary node fencing, panic and reboot Metalink Note 391771.1: OCFS2 - FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS (hier insbesondere der Abschnitt zu Fencing und Quorum) Metalink Note 434255.1: Common reasons for OCFS2 Kernel Panic or Reboot Issues Metalink Note 457423.1: OCFS2 Fencing, Network, and Disk Heartbeat Timeout Configuration We did no changes to the CRS/CSS default settings until now. During HA-testing we watched unexpected behaviour of the system. We deactivated the bond for private interconnect and expected only one node to go down. But we faced both nodes going down. As it seems to me one node was rebooted from OCFS2 and the other one from CRS/CSS.

But we don't know which settings raise the problem and which steps to do to to correct them. Otherwise we'll have to work over the complete concept for the business critical systems.
