Sometimes you need to configure raw devices for OCR, Votingdisk and ASM Spfile, but the directory /dev/raw does not exist.
As root create the /dev/raw directory:
mkdir /dev/raw
Then create the required raw devices using the following sintax:
mknod raw<raw_dev_number> c 162 <raw_dev_number>
i.e.:
mknod raw1 c 162 1
For setting up 12 raw devices use a loop:#!/bin/ksh
x=1
cd /dev/raw
while [ $x -lt 12 ];
do
mknod raw$x c 162 $x
x=`expr $x + 1 `
done
Once configured create or update the script /etc/udev/scripts/dev-raw.sh to automatize the configuration of raw devices for RAC on each startupx=1
cd /dev/raw
while [ $x -lt 12 ];
do
mknod raw$x c 162 $x
x=`expr $x + 1 `
done
# raw-dev.sh
MAKEDEV raw
mv /dev/raw/raw1 /dev/raw/votingdisk
mv /dev/raw/raw2 /dev/raw/ocr.dbf
mv /dev/raw/raw3 /dev/raw/spfile+ASM.ora
chmod 660 /dev/raw/votingdisk
chmod 660 /dev/raw/ocr.dbf
chmod 660 /dev/raw/spfile+ASM.ora
chown oracle:dba /dev/raw/votingdisk
chown oracle:dba /dev/raw/ocr.dbf
chown oracle:dba /dev/raw/spfile+ASM.ora

Thanks Alejandro, that might come in handy today or tomorrow!
AFAIK this must be for Linux, right?
