How to Use the Cluster File System

Steps

1. Create and mount the cluster file system.

   See Configuring the Cluster in Sun Cluster Software Installation Guide for Solaris OS for information about how to create and mount the cluster file system.

2. If you are using the UNIX file system (UFS), ensure that you specify the correct mount options for various types of Oracle files.

   For the correct options, see the table that follows. You set these options when you add an entry to the /etc/vfstab file for the mount point.

   File Type	Options
   Archived redo log files	global, logging, forcedirectio
   Oracle application binary files, configuration files, alert files, and trace files	global, logging

Next Steps

Ensure that all other storage management schemes that you are using for Oracle files are installed.

After all storage management schemes that you are using for Oracle files are installed, go to Preparing the Sun Cluster Nodes.
