Hi All,
I'm trying to set up oracle asmlib to with dkms so that I don't need to wait for oracle to compile a new version of asmlib whenever a minior kernel update occurs(e.g. the recent .4 release for enterprise linux).
I am able to succesfully download, compile and install the asmlib from source without a problem by doing the following(as root)
wget
http://oss.oracle.com/projects/oracl...m-2.0.5.tar.gz
tar -xzf oracleasm-2.0.5.tar.gz
cd oracleasm-2.0.5
./configure
make
make install
When I try to set it up using dkms I run into problems:
wget
http://oss.oracle.com/projects/oracl...m-2.0.5.tar.gz
tar -xzf oracleasm-2.0.5.tar.gz
mv oracleasm-2.0.5 /usr/src
cd /usr/src/oracleasm-2.0.5
vi dkms.conf
add the following in:
Code:
PACKAGE_NAME="oracleasm"
PACKAGE_VERSION="2.0.5"
BUILT_MODULE_NAME[0]="oracleasm"
DEST_MODULE_LOCATION[0]="/kernel/drivers/addon/oracleasm"
AUTOINSTALL="yes"
then do
dkms add -m oracleasm -v 2.0.5
dkms build -m oracleasm -v 2.0.5
Code:
Kernel preparation unnecessary for this kernel. Skipping...

The problem appears to be as simple as dkms not having the correct current working directory, but then again I've never used dkms directly before.
So is there any possible work around or alternation to either a) the source tree or b) dkms.conf or c) some better solution I have not previously considered?
Problem building asmlib 2.0.5 with dkms on centOS 5.5 running kernel 2.6.18-194.11.4
