I've got it running on RH-ES3.0 as a media server with the exceptions of the
DB extensions (32 or 64 bit).
We've got an opteron architecture and all the binaries were compiled for
Itanium.
Something in this combination seems to prevent Oracle from correctly linking
the libobk.so library for media management. Seems to be an Oracle issue.
The rest works.
I've got another problem in that the SCSI reserve on any drive prevents the
drive from being correctly built into the /dev/st and /dev/sg directories.
My work-around is to build all the drives during a slack period, when no
drives are assigned, then I've commented out the rebuild-at-daemon-start of
the start script. This is the /usr/openv/volmgr/bin/make_scsi_dev tool
that's new to Linux. This problem may be a driver issue for us, the "scan"
command returns that these are SCSI-2 devices (that don't, therefore,
support SCSI reservation - a SCSI-3 thing).

Any developments on this? Did NBU 5.1 Server end up running well on
RHEL 3? Has anyone else tried it in the meantime?
