Root.sh Disk group creation failed

[Andrew Kerber]

I am building an oracle 18.3 cluster in vmware workstation on oracle linux
7.5 in order to compose a blog. I have done this several times on multiple
oracle versions, but I am getting an error out of root.sh on my latest
build. Any thoughts on this? I was using the gui gridSetup.sh, and it
didnt have any problems finding the disks.

ORA-59012: Disk %0!s uses an invalid physical sector size (%1!s).

Cause: The disk used a physical sector size value that is not standard or
is not currently supported.

Action: The disk cannot be used for an ASM disk group.

Have you partitioned the disks? If not, that'd be the next thing I'd try -
just do a standard partitioning using fdisk.

Also, the joys of using the latest release - search MoS for the Oracle
error number and you get zero results :)

Is the disk physical sector size 512 or 4K. In the latter case, ASM may not
be able to create small block size files, like controfiled and probably OCR
files.
I had to force ASMLib in the past to use the logical sector size of the
disks (512) to be able to create controfiles during a RMAN duplicate.

I just found out that I haven't blogged about it yet, so I have a pending
task here.

I hope this gives you a clue on the issue.

Everything should be the default Linux sector size, which is 512. I didnt
change anything on that. And I did partition them first. I initially
partitioned with parted gpt partitions, and when I got the error I went
back and cleaned them off and partitioned them with fdisk. It didnt make a
difference.

The fun part of that process was disabling AFD by the way, that is
something else that is poorly documented, and needs to be documented for a
failed installation.

Cause: The disk used a physical sector size value that is not standard
or is not currently supported.
Action: The disk cannot be used for an ASM disk group.
Have you partitioned the disks? If not, that'd be the next thing I'd try
- just do a standard partitioning using fdisk.
Also, the joys of using the latest release - search MoS for the Oracle
error number and you get zero results :)

I am building an oracle 18.3 cluster in vmware workstation on oracle
linux 7.5 in order to compose a blog. I have done this several times on
multiple oracle versions, but I am getting an error out of root.sh on my
latest build. Any thoughts on this? I was using the gui gridSetup.sh, and
it didnt have any problems finding the disks.
